I think it would be great to allow users to upload images within their content (via the FCK or TinyMCE). I found this to be possible with IMCE + TinyMCE. However, I'd really like to go a step further and let each image become its own node which can be commented on, voted on and assigned tags like any other piece of content. It could continue to reference the containing node and thus inherit some of its tags, it could also help generate an ad hoc user gallery consisting of the author's uploaded photos.

Has a similar feat been attempted and accomplished? If not, any ideas of how to get close to this scenario or even develop it on my own?

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried the Image module? I think it can do what you need when combined with the Image Assist module.

That looks like it might work, I'll give it a shot and report back!

Thanks

You can tell there are a lot of modules available when the image module gets overlooked for handling images (that's the second time this week I've seen it happen).

Ahhh kids these days... back in my day the image module was all we had, and we had to walk to school through the snow uphill both ways, and we liked it! ;)

The number of modules these days is staggering. There seem to be new ones daily. A while ago you could know what all the modules were for - that would require a huge effort these days if it was even possible.

Anyway, enough offtopic musings....

I have img_assist and Image setup but the [ ... ] tags are being filtered into the name of the Image, opposed to the image itself. My Filtered HTML options have the Inline Images enabled and I have the access rules set as they are specified in the installation instructions. I've ran out of things to try, any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Access rules and input formats are defined on a per role basis. Check if the role for which you gave access permissions and full html is the same.
