Image holder?

I'm looking for a better solution to manage the static images I have on this page.

http://www.vinjevekst.no/cms/index.php?

I have 5 image blocks that will always be there and I'm looking for a better way to allow the client to manage the contents of them. I'm currently using multiple content blocks to do this (i.e. {content block='Small image 1'}{content block='Small image 2'} etc..)

This, however, gives me a new editor for each image block in the admin section allowing huge scope for my client to make a mess of things when adding/changing images.

Does anyone know of a simpler solution that will just allow for image updating without the formating/text options?

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps you should use the image names to update the blocks:

Image 1 is named block1img.jpg and is contained in content block "Small image 1"
Image 2 is named block2img.jpg and is contained in content block "Small image 2"
etc.

Then, whenever they want to update an image, they just upload a new image with the same name.

Thanks for the reply Nullig

I was hoping to be able to keep the browse functionality, the ability to roll back to older images and the ability to pick from thumb nails. To keep it flexible, simple and professional looking for the client end of things.

If it were just me managing things that approach would work fine, I just don't think it the best approach for my client.

Thanks anyway
