Mentions some desire for a pic of the day and quote of the day module. I'm wanting to implement a pic of the day feature on a project. What it would be is pulling images (image nodes) based on some form of a user choice. Maybe just periodically fill a list of images to be queued up on a daily basis...

Any ideas? Nodequeue? Is this what I want? I've read the page on it, but I'm not sure if it's what I'd be best to use...

Thanks for any tips/direction

at www.fillmoregazette.com/history you can see a block in the right sidebar called "Can you identify this photo?" that picks a picture from one of the "From the archives: Photo's of the week" nodes in the main content to the left. The view creates the block that picks a random cck image field associated with that node title.

I hope that helps. I can give you more details if you like.

PS. I'm using...
Drupal v5.7
MySQL v4.1.22
PHP v5.2.5
Apache v1.3.37 (Unix)

I've been thinking about this same feature. What I am thinking is that users would fill out a custom content type with an image upload option. Upon submitting the content type, it would go to a pending status for review by an administrator (we wouldn't want someone posting something inappropriate). The admin would publish the node once everything looks valid.

I would have a block view created (so I can place the image in any location). The view would populate with an image based on a sequential number (this I still have not figured out). I do not want a random image, because if there are multiple images uploaded on a single day, I don't want it to randomly show those images. I want just one image for the entire day (hence, picture of the day). I think this can all be accomplished with cck and views. I do not think any special module would be needed to accomplish this task. As I think through this more, I will post back!

The random pic isn't quite what I'm looking for. It's more like queuing up photos which would have their day in the limelight. It would be something which site admins would pick and as they pick the pictures of the day, they go in a queue and display for one day - then, they're purged from the queue.

Any more ideas?

I am looking for " of the day" feature on Drupal 6. Hopefully some experts can provide me such module. I tried "quotes" module, but it is not very exactly satisfying my requirements.
Keep me posted.
Thanks.

The Quotes module's quote of the day is specific to that module, but perhaps someone could be persuaded to adapt it to choose any node.

you should be able to use the http://drupal.org/project/daily module with image nodes if you want.

Yes, it looks like it should work. (Good, I have don't have to write a new one.) It would be nice, though, if they would create a doc page for it.
