813894 2009-09-26 13:36:00 Maybe try the free (for small sites) Zoom Image scripts from Wrensoft (www.wrensoft.com), with forum queries (www.wrensoft.com) to help configure scripting and file extension compatibility. kahawai chaser (3545)

Erayd. Thanks for this, I can get it to work, although currently most images are not displayed. This will doubtless be because the site is only 4 or 5 months old. It displays files from some of the earliest directories that I uploaded. It is still a rather clumsy way of doing it though, especially if I have to wait months for Google to crawl the site.

Anyone have any other ideas?

Scouse. The site is a basic reference only. You will find and article on the Air NZ bottles on one of my other sites: www.minisnz.com If you want to email me with any specific questions I am happy to help: minizv@gmail.com

The Bogan. Erica is still going strong, just had an email from her. Who was your dad?

Kahawai Chaser. I use site search on another of my sites but this only finds documents (as far as I am aware) not images.

You could try implementing image search within Google's CSE (now called site search), by signing up for a Google Ajax API key. (code.google.com) (I have been thinking image search for one of my sites). But it may require applying refinements and annotations (in CSE) and then editing/uploading a generated XML file, and I don't know what stage CSE currently is to get maximum image search optimization/function. All Business Com (www.allbusiness.com) describes the use of image use within CSE (though from May 2008) to an extent. But trial/error would be required...

Thanks for the suggestions and links - I will follow these up next weekend (am in the Chattham Islands this week, so don't expect to get much of a hook-up, if any)
