Looping back to first post in category

    Hey everyone,

    I have this code:

    <?PHP
$current =  get_permalink();
$prevPost = get_previous_post(true);
$prevURL = get_permalink($prevPost->ID);
$nextPost = get_next_post(true);
$nextURL = get_permalink($nextPost->ID);
?>
<map name="Map" id="Map">
<area shape="circle" coords="142,43,40" href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>" /> <!-- Home button -->
<area shape="circle" coords="343,43,37" href="../restaurants/" /> <!-- Back to category button -->
<area shape="circle" coords="829,43,39" href="<?php echo $nextURL ?>" /> <!-- Back button -->
<area shape="circle" coords="1147,43,39" href="<?php echo $prevURL ?>" /> <!-- Next button -->
</map>

    It works 100%.
    But what I need help with is I want it to loop back to the first/last post in the category it’s listing rather than just when it gets to the final post, just refreshing that post over and over?
    Or is there a way to pick up that it is the last and first post post so I can change the image and remove the MAP link?

    Thanks in advanced!

    Michael.

    Might look at/or use this plugin:

    Bah! It woorks… but Doesn’t work!
    I will endeavor this more.

    I have made so many different variations but this works, but displays the next post, but only the next post for both!

    <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/explorer_client/<?php $category = get_the_category(); echo $category[0]->cat_name;?>-category-top-bar.png" alt="" width="1280" height="90" border="0" usemap="#Map" />
<map name='Map' id='Map'>
  <area shape="circle" coords="142,43,40" href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>" />
  <area shape="circle" coords="343,43,37" href="../<?php $category = get_the_category(); $category = $category[0]; echo $category->category_nicename;?>" />
  <area shape="circle" coords="829,43,39" <?php previous_post_link_plus('menu_order', 'loop'); ?> />
  <area shape="circle" coords="1147,43,39" <?php next_post_link_plus('menu_order', 'loop'); ?> />
</map>

    Oh, and I did edit the plugin .PHP file to incorporate the shortening 🙂
    Thanks again!
