Hello, is it possible to use this module in order to post photos in nodes? I would like to allow users to add a picture to an article and I want to know if this module will allow me to do this? If so, how and will I need any additional modules?

Go to content types, settings: /admin/content/node-type/story

I would like to do this also.
But the reply is not clear at all.

So in the content type: we change the the Story node type? To do what?

1) Go to /admin/content/node-type/story or whatever content type you want to add photos to.

2) Look for "Image upload" tab. Enable "Upload". Choose the number of images you would like to display on teaser, which will display thumbnails on the node which have been uploaded via step 3

3) Now when users create content of this type, there will be an "Upload photo" box on the node/add form. They can select which album to upload to.

Thats not what I meant.
For example, if I have an album with images - how do I then add images from the album to the node?

TinyMCE + IMCE modules is the solution... This works well.

No - thats not the point. IMCE is another solution.
I like this photos module (since it is not dependent on Taxonomy). So is it possible to add/select photos from an album and add it?
Or even add the whole album?

no, it is not possible.

I would also love this feature.

I am currently using Drupal 5 as I have been using AcidFree, for which there is no Drupal 6 port. The only thing stopping me from using this module (album photos) and converting to Drupal 6 is this feature. AcidFree has an inline filter (http://vernon.mauery.com/content/acidfree_manual/advanced_topics) which allows you to reference an existing image in an album or entire album from inside a node. If this feature was to be added to this module, I would hapilly switch, simply because the flash part is fantastic and it runs of Drupal 6.

Well done on a fantastic module.

I was reading this, so i tried it on my site. It does work. D 6.6, fckeditor, imce with the browse server enabled.
I have 2 albums posted with my user name.
I went to create content/story and clicked the fckeditor's image button, opens the file browser. Click browse server and choose the photo, click send to fckeditor and there it is.

No - that's not what I meant. You are just pointing to the file - no relationship to the album.

I too would like to be able to add photographs to my nodes from my albums, just like the images module can do.

Wouldn't a CCK node reference to the album work.

This will not work for individual Images on the other hand. Currently I'm searching for a solution to see if you can make each uploaded image it's own node. This would allow us to do all sorts of things with the individual images, like use a noderef and reference an image in another node.

It would also allow us to individual tag or Annotate the photos with other data.

The photos module has a built in filter for this. Update the nodes format for the field you want to display photos.

Example:
[photo=image]id=55,54,53,52|align=right[/photo]
