There is a box for categories of videos and a search feature for videos. My question is how can I get a box for categories of pictures and search module for category of pictures so that my video features are equal to photo features?

im thinking maybe he means... for the search function, have a dropdown list so that a user can choose which category to search in.. ie picture, video, game

.. i think?

Yea i was relating my question to the fact that everything on the site right now seems dominant to listing videos and not photos. I want to have a category box for photos and a search box for photos. Right now there is only a video category box and a video search box.

That's not completely true. The search box actually searches the entire site, not only videos. The script isn't geared towards any specific media. Take a look at my site for example, my first server only gave me 10GBs of bandwidth a month which is too little for videos. So I mostly focused on images and flash animations. However, I just moved to a new host yesterday with more bandwidth so I'll be able to serve up more videos.

As for creating a search box for only images, that would require you to write additional coding that would only query images in the MySQL database. You'd have to ask Ryan about a feature like that and if it's available in the next update.

It has not been made in the next version but it's not a bad idea... I'll consider adding that for the next version.
