I have a lot of popular image galleries in my photo blog crsurfcam.com, but I find navigating from one to the next image needs to be configured. Can you make it so that by default, if you click the image it shows the next one in the gallery?

edit: looking into this, I am finding this project. Any feedback on this method?

How have you constructed the galleries (what modules)? Have you looked at the views module?

It seems to me that the image to image navigation is not part of the Image module's Image Gallery (at least for 6.x-1.0-beta2). I understand that any enhancements are supposed to be added by using the views module and/or others, but I haven't gone into that yet.

Thanks for your suggestion to use the Custom Pagers module. It works well.

The next user friendly feature would be for the next image to remain in the same position when switching to the next node; this way you wouldn't need to scroll back to the image and its navigation every time... But this may not be as simple as it looks.

Image module's Image Gallery is now made with views, so adding a custom pager to that should be relatively simple.
Feel free to add something about this to the image module documentation :)

http://drupal.org/project/thickbox might do what you want

Initially I used the image module to setup the site. I have been moving away from using the categories and default /gallery page because it didn't make sense within the design of the site.

I checked out thickbox. it does allow image navigation if they are grouped on the page, but this is not the intended behavior of my site. in order to allow content rating/image view counting, each image is its own node.. so it has to link to the nodes directly. I was able to get custom pagers working but havent yet modified the default appearance. at least I have achieved more or less a functional configuration.
