Where to find info on using imagefield? [#123170]

I noticed the info commented that imagecache is not well documented, but I haven't found too much on imagefield - esp in Imagefield section here on drupal.org.

Interested in this as maybe good for putting images in, say, teasers to appear on pages (views).
- otherwise using fckeditor/imce for adding images to articles. (Drupal 5.1)

Had a look at article on lullabot, but mainly re product pages:
http://www.lullabot.com/articles/image_and_image_exact_sizes_vs_imagefie...

also found post re using this with cck and imagecache (mainly re 4.7):
http://drupal.org/node/101748

I haven't had much joy as yet, just giving imagefield a try.
Created a field; but when I uploaded images, tried to set in field, they didn't show up in my cck test page. Came to wonder if because I didn't have imagecache; but even after adding this, not successful yet.

Created a field; but when I uploaded images, tried to set in field, they didn't show up in my cck test page.

I was having similar troubles. The module did indeed upload the image files to the specified file directories, but the images didn't show up in the node after "preview" or "submit," nor as a preview in the form. It also cleared my alternate text selections (for the first imagefield occurance of 2 in the content type) after choosing to "edit."

I had my file system set to private, and changing to public solved the issue of not seeing my images.

The previously created test nodes still show no images, but newly created nodes with cck/imagefield do. I still don't see the preview of the image in the form after initially hitting "upload", but if I go back and edit the node, the previews show up then. It also retains the alternate text.

I hope this may help you. I didn't mess with any .htaccess files or any other settings/modules.
