How can I implement JQuery Pagination into a custom script? - php

Question

I am using a bespoke Jquery/PHP gallery script which pulls images from a Flickr feed.
I have tried to implement the JQuery pagination plugin, to no avail.
Here is the code...
<?php
require_once('php/simplepie.inc');
$feed = new Simplepie('http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds /photos_public.gne?id=44262300#N06&lang=en-us&format=rss_200');
$feed->handle_content_type();
function image_from_description($data) {
preg_match_all('/<img src="([^"]*)"([^>]*)>/i', $data, $matches);
return $matches[1][0];
}
function select_image($img, $size) {
$img = explode('/', $img);
$filename = array_pop($img);
$s = array(
'_s.', // square
'_t.', // thumb
'_m.', // small
'.', // medium
'_b.' // large
);
$img[] = preg_replace('/(_(s|t|m|b))?\./i', $s[$size], $filename);
return implode('/', $img);
}
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$("#images div").quickpaginate({ perpage: 4, showcounter: false, pager : $("#image_counter") });
});
</script>
<div class="album-wrapper" id="images">
<?php foreach ($feed->get_items() as $item): ?>
<div class="photo">
<?php
if ($enclosure = $item->get_enclosure()) {
$img = image_from_description($item->get_description());
$full_url = select_image($img, 4);
$thumb_url = select_image($img, 0);
echo '<img id="photo_' . $i . '" src="' . $thumb_url . '" />'."\n";
}
?>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</div>
<div id="image_counter"></div>
Can anyone see what I have missed or I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Dan

Have you tried trying to isolate the area where the error might be located? Can you figure it out if it is in the PHP-side of your code or on the JavaScript side?
In any case, I've had success using the jQuery pager companion plugin for the Tablesorter plugin. It doesn't work very well for very long lists of data, however.
