I'm confusing myself trying to think through a view requirement. Start with a typical content type that could have an image (cck)...but might not. If it does not, then the view should include, with that node record, node records of content type Image, the selection factor being that they share a taxonomy vocabulary term, the idea being that the view row will then have images from a 'pool' along with it from which one can later be selected to be shown. So... NEWS content type IMAGE content type tid = 4 image 1: tid = 4 image 2: tid = 4 the view filters a non-image content type (NEWS) and should join the IMAGE content type and the images having the same tid I can't think this through to the next step. It doesn't seem that the relationship dialog will allow me to specify that the taxonomy term be the key AND that it be only the Image content type.
