I'd like users to be able to select one image from a limited set of administrator defined images when creating a new CCK node. The user doesn't upload an image, they merely select one image from a list and then that image is associated with their new node. There is similar functionality in the 'avatar selection' module.

http://drupal.org/project/avatar_selection

Is there an existing CCK module that provides this functionality?

I need a module or a techniques like this. Maybe we should post as an issue for avatar Selection or Imagefield, this would be awesome functionality, I'm going to have a look at the code of Avatar Selection and see if it would be easy to modify it for cck fields.

I also would like such a functionality.
I have tried using a CCK Node Reference field that points to a Views which lists images (http://drupal.org/node/179500#comment-637427). All I get so far in Drupal 6 are a link to the image Node not an embedded image.

With d6/views2 this is pretty simple. You need to add a relationship for the nodereference field that contains the image node-- then when you add fields, select that relationship and the fields on the image node should be available to you to add to the view.

Thank you so much! This is really great advice and it seems to be working perfectly so far! Thanks for taking the time.

Hope you can provide a tutorial for this. Maybe post some screenshots on how you did this. Thanks!

How do you use views in the content type? I need them to select the image as a field...how is this done so that the image selected becomes data a part of that node??

thanks in advance :)

Use the references module with views.

Add a content type where you will upload the image, obviously this needs an image field.

Add some images.

Then add a new content type where you add the reference field to that other content type that has the images.

When you create a node you should be able to reference the images you created on the other content type.
