[support] Upload pictures directly from node (not from EDITpage)

[marcob]

Howdy,

i followed the support list for some time, but this is my first post, 
so first of all my big up
to all the people who use their for making Drupal a better place :)

My support question: Upload pictures directly from node (not from EDIT 
page)


can anyone tell if there actually is a way to let users upload/attach 
images to posts (nodes) directly from the node page?

Now all (?) the image modules require users to go through the EDIT 
form. What i mean instead is the very classic/basic "upload an image" 
field *directly* on node page.

The closest thing i found is the Image_tab.module: it adds an "add 
images" tab to the desired nodes. Still i reckon the easiest thing for 
users is the upload form on node page. Also the module is still cvs and 
not finalized for 4.7 yet and quite buggy...

Please, any hint greatly apreciated!

Cheers,

Marco

basically what i need is that users should be able to upload pictures 
they might have related to particular nodes. They should find an 
*upload image* field directly on the node page, or alternatively there 
could be an "add images" tab, similarly to what image_tab tryes to do, 
that links to a page that allows them ONLY to upload pictures.
The images they upload are then attached to the node and displayed on 
the node's page togheter with other similarly submitted pics  (a kind 
of "node gallery")

i don't want all users to be able to actually *edit* the whole node, 
but i want them to be able to only upload pics.

is not a real standalone pictures gallery (a la image.module, or 
shazaam.module). It is more a collection of pictures related to each 
specific node, submitted by different users.

wysiwigs act always from the back of the nodes ( from the *edit* page) 
so they are not suited for what i am looking for.


Hope this is bit more clear ;)

Thanks for any help!
