Antweb module now working

Go to a species page, click the media tab, and you'll now see all the Antweb specimen images for that species with a link to the original specimen page (e.g. http://antkey.org/taxonomy/term/4807/media). One great thing about the Drupal-driven Scratchpads platform is that developers can contribute custom 'modules' that can plug in to the core code. I hired a Drupal developer to design an Antweb module that would import all the specimen images for Antkey taxa and display them on the media tab of their respective taxon pages. Antweb developers created a web service that exports all the specimen images and at least some of the associated data into an xml file. Even though the web serivce was originally designed for EOL, it is available for other sites to use as well. I'm not sure if this is how Antwiki imports Antweb images, but it may well be. All Antweb images are licensed under the CC-BY-SA license, which makes the service that much smoother.
