I'm new to Drupal and trying to use it to create a fairly simple web site, but I'm stumbling over a couple of concepts that someone can hopefully help with.

I have created a "Magazine" content type that has highlights of the issue, but it also needs a cover image to be displayed also. I originally used the CCK FileField_image type and that did the job, allowing me to upload an image easily and then using views I was able to display the magazine in full, or create a block on the homepage displaying just the latest editions cover.

Trouble is the FileField_image is no longer supported and oddly enough its stopped working too.

Are there any other alternatives that I can use? I don't want to link to externally hosted images, they need to be uploaded as the article is being authored (or at least selected from a list of already uploaded images).

Any help, advice on how I should be doing this would be greatly appreciated.

This must be such a simple and common requirement, can no-one point me in the right direction??

I'm not being lazy, I've tried searching the Drupal documentation and various other videos and blogs but whenever Images are mentioned it is using modules that only work in 4.x or 5.x

Please advise

if 'or at least selected from a list of already uploaded images' is acceptable you can use the regular image.module and use a cck nodereference to select the image, otherwise i'm afraid you'll have to wait for imagefield ...
