Hi all,
still beeing a total Drupal newby I _totally_ got lost in all the different opportunities/modules/combinations to upload/display images.
My "wanna have":
- authors of content (mainly 'page' and 'blog') should have a simple way to attach 0 to 5 images to their text content - they preferably should be able to just select some images from their local file system - alternatively they should be able to select images already on the server uploaded by someone else - an attached image is always the (only slightly prepared by scaling/cropping it to something handable) _original_, usually larger, than fitting into the design
- in the teaser view, the first image should be shown in thumbnail size, preferably _inline_ (e.g. floating top left) with the text content. A click on image/text/title/more here just opens the single node view.
- in the single node view all images should be shown below the text of the content, in thumbnail size, building sort of a mini gallery - a first click on an image should open it (preferably using lightbox) in a size fitting into the design (an intermediate size), another click then would open the orignal (with or without lightbox)
- I plan to have specialized CCK variants of 'page' and 'blog' instead of the originals, providing the authors with a list of image upload fields, instead of the attachements section. The attachements then would be interpreted as downloadable attachements, and never shown in the mini-gallery
I use Drupal 5.1, but woun't tell you all the docs/modules I have read/ tested, to not introduce any bias ... just know, I spent a whole week on this, without success. Because I'm seriously lost!
How would _you_ do similar?
Any suggestions are very welcome.
Thanks, yours, Georg
Imagecache + thickbox + cck et al. will give you all of this, except for (a) browsing existing images online and (b) 2nd click to expand more.
Hope this helps.

Have you read this one? "HOW TO: Create an image gallery using CCK and Views (not Image Module)" http://drupal.org/node/144725
Does it help?

I asked this a while ago. Allow me for repost.
I like CCK Image field but I can't use it unless I can have it popup to original image a la Image Assist. I have been using Image Assist for this reason, but the library is now more than 1,000 images, which makes quite difficult to brows.
What I am looking for is images in the teaser links to the full node, and images in the full node popup to original based on CCK.
Any advice for solution would be appreciated.
