Good Afternoon,
I am using the Alamy module from David Osborne but I can't find him anywhere.
The module is working well and all I would like is for the Alamy link to appear under the thumbnails in the search results. If anyone has any idea how to make this happen I would be most grateful.And if anyone knows how to make the link open in a new window I would be even more grateful.

My website is http://picpics.com

Thank you

I can see how having the Alamy link in search results would work well for you but hacking into the search result outputs is not a trivial matter from recollection.

In terms of opening Alamy in a different window, I am afraid it cannot be done with the stock module as it uses a http refresh redirect to go to Alamy. This always opens in the same window.
However, You could try, as a long shot, editing your "SendToAlamy.tpl" file to read:
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; URL=javascript:window.open('url=http://www.alamy.com/image-details.asp?ARef={$SendToAlamy.alamyref}','_blank');">"

The module author had posted that he developed a hack version (required changing one core file) that used a direct link instead of the http refresh redirect but he asked to be contacted for the details and did not post the details and so, such things get lost!

So you need to track him down and implement his hacked version. Unfortunately, his website/domain is offline.

meta refresh no longer works in all browsers.
you could just use plain javascript:
<script>window.open('url=http://www.alamy.com/image-details.asp?ARef={$SendToAlamy.alamyref}');</script>
