I have recently installed drupazine theme on my site which is currently under development. After installation theme looks pretty good and most of its working is also fine but I can't see images in the posts as well as on the home page as these are showing in drupazine screenshot.

I tried it with node_images module to upload and attach images to the posts but it seems node images is not working correctly either. Image gets uploaded but is not listed on the story page.
Following information appears out when I tries to upload images with node_images module
"Node images are disabled in the view page for the current node type."

What does this means? Can you tell me how to enable them? Doesn't drupazine supports default image uploading and attachment as is shown in its screenshots. Please help me.

I can't give you my site address as it is presently under development and I don't want it to get listed in SE as of now.

The theme has nothing to do with images used in content. For that you need a module.

Now starting with the module you mention in your post node_images.module:

The message that you have reads as if you need to visit administer -> content types
edit the content type that you want images to be used on
and set up node_image on that content type.

It also helps a great deal if you mention the version of the module you are using. If it is still in -dev then it may not be ready to use at this time.

Yes node_images.module is in dev state that's why it is causing problems. Anyway I tried to use Image.module which instead of putting images under Story content type, created another content type called Images which I don't require anyway. Can somebody tell me how to attach images uploaded with image.module to story node.

There is an image attach.module included with image.module and ultimately any image uploaded with the image content type can be reused in any other content type. image browser.module is a nice add on and works in conjunction with image.module.

Hi

vm commented

please read the project pages for the modules you've downloaded, the documentation links on the project pages of the modules you've downloaded. Use Drupal.org search for tutorials, the documentation area for documentation and above all, ALWAYS read the readme.txt and/or install.txt file of the modules you've downloaded.

also of note drupal has a core help.module and some modules add to that help.module, therefore ensure you've enabled it.

the image browser module allows browsing of images.

I don't know what links you are talking about.

image.module provides an image content type, you upload image directly into a node.

Sori for the confusion .. I will detail my steps

1. I activated both attach.module & image.module
2. Enabled attachment of existing images to nodes at admin/settings/image/image_attach (the default value)
3. For the content type story I enabled the attach images
4. After this I start getting an attached images option in story type content generation
5. I attached a file.jpg to one such story
6. However on the main home page as well as the story instead of the image a link is shown with the file.jpg link

I hope I m clear this time

Plz help

Thanks
PK

Thats the point of image attach as far as I know, to attach the image to the conten type, if you want it to show use HTML to reference the image that you attached.

If you wanted a field where you could upload an image directly to the content type, you should investigate the imagefield.module

Also I have one more doubt that all content type on the home page show a violet box below the title with the first word of the title in it. What does it stand for
