I've got the above on multiple pages of a site - really easy way to display a portfolio of pics of different proportions.
When you click on a pic to view the larger version it works - but when you use the forward and back buttons - (under the enlarged pic OR on the physical keyboard - , the pics do not display in the same order as they are on the web page.
This happens with all the photo grids on this site.
Example page: http://www.deskleineibst.com/studio_cars.htm
Any ideas?
Hi LGF, what smart photo grid are you using?
Let's run with the Smart Photo grid 2. This does not have have Photo Pop-up set.
So, open the Page & Layer gallery. Expand the Photo grid. Use the Shift key and select all the Clipped photos.
In the Web Properties, alter the Pop-up photo settings.
Now you can re-arrange the pecking order of the individual photos against each other to reflect your required navigation order.

Hi Egg,
It's smart photo grid 1.
Every few weeks I add new pics - with the newest first - so I have to move the other pics down the grid.
Hi Acorn,
Thanks for that, but the pics on the page are in the order I want them - I used smart photo grid 1 which accommodates pics of different proportions. I then just drag and drop my clients pics onto the grid and keep adding new rows.
Just tried to re-arrange pics in the page and layer gallery.
Smart photo grid is grouped and if you click on a pic you can't move it's position in the page and layer gallery.
If you ungroup the pics, then the grid ceases to be "smart".
BTW, I did ungroup the grid and then drag the pics to reflect the page layout - makes NO difference when you click on the pic to enlarge - the order stays "random".
Very frustrating.
Just created a new photo grid 1 of 9 pics - 3 rows of 3 pics.
Starting at the top left, i dragged and dropped the new images into position.
I expanded the photo grid in the page and layer gallery and it shows the pics in reverse order - last 1 first and first 1 last!
Like I said because it's "smart" grid, you cant't click and drag the pics in the p&l gallery to re-arrange them.
This is not so smart I'm thinking.... and very frustrating!
Mea culpa! You are right.Quote:

It is tedious but it works.

Thanks for the reply Acorn - wonder if there's any chance the technical guys at Xara can fix this - is it worth putting in a support ticket?
I can't get the images out of sequence. No matter how many times I move an image to another position (using the blue dot) the sequence reflects the changed position. The only issue I could see that would be a bother to you LGF is the add/remove rows always adds a new row to the bottom.
EDIT: Pehaps you could attach a problem page or link it via dropbox etc?
Hi Egg - thanks for the reply.
This is driving me crazy - it might have something to do with web variants if that's possible?
I first created a new main page, created the photogrid which worked just fine.
I then created an Ipad and mobile version of the page - now only the mobile page shows the pics in the right order when clicked to enlarge - the main and pad don't!!
And yes, it's a right pain that when the client wants to add new pics, I have to shuffle ALL the pics down after creating a new row to make space in the 1st row!
I've attached the file.

All I can add is that I find the same as yourself. I deleted all the variants apart from the Main one. Previewed and the order was correct. However as soon as you create a variant, resize the photo grid, the order is messed up.
I can only say that smart photo grids with HS pop-ups doesn't work.
Smart Shapes / Smart Photo Grids. Neither are smart when a variant is being used. Create an arrow (Smart Shape) create a variant. Adjust the arrow. Although it's shared it doesn't update on the other variant.
Thanks Egg - at least it's not just me.
Really frustrating as smart photo grids are great for portfolio - oriented websites :(
Logged details of this fault and they got back to me inside of 2 hours !
Here's the response:
Thank you for your email.
I have managed to replicate the problem here, when re-arranging the images of one variant it seems to then follow the order of images inside that variant, but in other variants it then messes up the order of pop-up gallery images. I have logged the problem with our developers for them to investigate. Apologies for the inconvenience caused.
Kindest regards
