I'm building a new site and it has a custom content type for product items made using CCK. I've managed to add a price and product id field etc. I want the items to have a picture as well. I'm not sure what the best way to do this is. Should each item have a node reference to a image node? I assume there is a way to theme the node so it displays the referenced nodes image.

I also have view which generates a table on a page. I want the image thumbnail to appear in one of the columns.

I dont have much experience with CCK or Views so any help is appreciated. I am using Drupal 6.3. Thanks.

IMO, the best way to do this would be with the imagefield and the imagecache modules. Unfortunately, they don't appear to be ready for d6 yet, though they are soooo close. Imagecache has an alpha, and supposedly http://drupal.org/project/filefield_image is the stopgap for imagefield until it's ready.

This is the problem with Drupal :(
A heap of modules are a core all at different stages of development.

I'll try a combination of filefield6.x-1.0-beta3 and FileField Image and ImageCache then I suppose... Thanks for your suggestions.
