What is the best way to add several images to a node.

I need a way to add many images and have the first 5 or so apear as thumbnails on the node. There will also be a link where the rest of the photos can be seen. When a thumbnail is clicked you are taken to the full image where you can leave comments and vote on the image.

Ive got imagecache installed but I dont think that it can do all of what I need. Is there another way to do this?

Try node images module

http://drupal.org/project/node_images

Download and install the core application
http://gallery.menalto.com/

Then:

Install gallery2 module for drupal.
http://drupal.org/project/gallery

You setup and upload all images in gallery, drupal pulls in all the images and makes thumbnails,larger size on click...even purchase print photo if you want!

It will take a little while to set everything up. But in the end it comes together real nice.

Gallery is very large and clunky, it confuses users.

I tried node Images and it looks good but has a few drawbacks:
1) Cant seem to resize uploaded images with image cache
2) Gallery page is not customizable
3) Cannot allow ratings/comments on photos.

These are major drawback to me

Does image field work with image cache module? Can it show 4 thumbnails on the node and link to a page listing all images which can be enlarged and voted/commented on?

I used this module a long time ago but I dont remember it being that powerful

Is there any way to attach an Image Gallery to a node (story) like you can attach an image using Image Attach? Just point it to the existing gallery and you're done?

There's got to be a simple way to do this other than jumping through all the CCK hoops (which I'm having a bear of a time figuring out)...

I once made such a module for Acidfree.
It is very, very simple. It lets you choose gallery you want to attach. And when in node-view mode - it just show the link "This node has gallery BlahBlahBlah attached" near the node content. And that was it.

Someone should come up with this for Gallery2.
And it should actually include the pictures from gallery, or have other ways of displaying or linking to gallery in a seamless way.

I might develop such a module, if there is no other way to do this.
