wrote an interesting article about positioning images for webdesign.

I wonder if something like this is already integrated in Drupal?

Nice article ... if it's not done already let's give it a try.

But should it be in a module? It sounds more like a theming issue using Image node and CCK NodeRef.

Hope to hear more on this one.

I'm reading Drupal Development so what's below should become better in a week ;-)

Steps taken:

- CCK module: CCK Image
- Created content type image_composition with a list of images
- Created a node-image_composition.tpl.php calls do_layout(field_image_1)
- modified the code magazinelayout.class.php
- added a template function
which iterated over the images

What i don't like about this is that it should be in a module because it's generic.

But I want the CCK functionality for image upload, etc. And I think image nodes would be better still because we are making a composition of (existing) images.

Hope to have a demo online tomorrow.

I applied for an CVS account so hope to commit soon. Probably within a week.

The http://drupal.org/project/image_composition is committed but there is no release yet. You can use the cvs source though.

I will release a first version when the GUI is split into separate node id reference fields and added a last (?) database field.
