Looking for a NextGEN Gallery icon

Help ! I’m a really bad designer. I never created a screen icon and logo for NextGEN Gallery. My Google Code page shows still the default icon :

And I also have not the skills to adapt Ben Dunkle’s great screen icon design for the headline. If someone has enough skills and would like to contribute a icon to my plugin, I would be very happy if you can send it to me.

Search for Images

Many many people requested a search function for NextGEN Gallery. Although a couple of plugins like Search Unleashed crawl already the content of a gallery, the best solution would a list of images as search result. Why is this such a problem for me and not already includes years before ?

The search injection is not that problem, but it needed always a new template or a redirection to a gallery template which maybe doesn’t fit to your theme layout. I never found the best way, but here is one first try. I’ve create a small addon plugin. You just need to activate it, it has no parameter or settings.

Now you must add to your theme the follow function :

This little code return the image search result for the standard search widget from WordPress. Example here : http://nextgen-gallery.com/?s=cologne

UPDATE : I’ve a added the search for tags , there are still the issue with the pagination… but Im working on it.

You can download the code and a modified search.php for the default theme here :
