If you're like me then you'll never remember where all your uploaded pictures are as they're stored in the www/images folder by date of upload. What date did I upload that picture? No idea. So I thought we could use a picture gallery. Download this script: http://radio.weblogs.com/0001161/gems/addPicturesToList.ftsc Open it using Radio and it'll import into your workspace table to create a new script called addPicturesToList. Click on the run button and it'll set itself up (hopefully!). I've not tried it on anyone else's copy of Radio, only mine. Then, next time you upload a picture, try it now, drag one into your upstream folder, a new picture gallery file will be created. It'll be here: http://127.0.0.1:5335/picturegallery Nothing clever, just a table of thumbnails for each of your pictures. You can be more creative than I was and format this gallery page however you like, though in this rough proof-of-concept version you'll have to tackle with the script code itself. Maybe a good learning opportunity in itself! I hope you get it working. Let me know if not. [David Davies' Radio Weblog] 5:34:25 AM

Chris In Michigan publishes his first Radio tool: CurrentBook, to display the current book you're reading on your home page. Cool! I'm going to install it the moment I get home. [Garth Kidd: DBS - On Radio] 5:32:24 AM

Using Google to Search Sites Just this morning I was talking to my friend Rene about how some sites (e.g. Userland's) were dropping their own search indexes in favor of using Google. Then I saw a cool posting over at the Radio Userland discussion forum showing the syntax for performing a site-specific Google query. This is cool - macros - That link searches Google for all references to macros at the radio.userland.com site. Very nifty. [Mark Woods: On the Mark] 5:30:36 AM

Michael Murry has announced his Custom Links Tool, which should add additional "Editors Only" links for third-party www/system/pages residents like Mark Paschal's do and search gems. I'll check it out and post more to the forum in his announcement topic. [Garth Kidd: DBS - On Radio] 5:27:13 AM
