Hi
I'm having a gallery based on imagefield and views. Now I got the problem that I need to upload 100 of pictures. As of now I got to create a new node for every picture -> this become very odd, as you can imagine. So, what I'm looking for is the following:
- user creates a new node
- user adds selects taxonomy for the node
- user adds multiple images (with your awesome module)
- user saves node
... so far so good.

Here comes the tricky part. Instead of just creating one node drupal will save n nodes (for every image one node) that will all have the same taxonomy. This would make it extremely easy and fast to upload but also extremely flexible to maintain.

What do you think?

Both modes (multiple images per node and one image per node using ImageField) will be possible with the new version of Image FUpload which will be published in a few days.

CCK Integration (also your suggestion) now done in new version 3.0 (alpha). Have fun, but don't forget to run update.php if you update from a previous version.

Thanks for the good work on this. I am needing a solution for node within a node. I see the one image per node option works like fupload with Image module. What I need is a way to create a node and add multiple imagesbut where the images are themselves nodes (prog_gallery kind of does this but I am having problems assigning taxonomies and I don't need the gallery display as I will create my own with views/lightbox2 hence needing cck options).
With multiple option of cck fupload all the images are grouped under the one node, and with single node option there is no way to group all the images under a node title. What I am trying to achieve is that users create their own galleries with their own gallery titles and multiple upload images, but they can add the images to a site gallery and taxonomies so that I can use Views to create different galleries or to display relevant images with other articles or content.

If you are using a node for a single image (single storage mode), you could define a taxonomy which has to be selected before uploading. As a result, the images are related to each-others.
What you need, is the possibility that one user can create taxonomy terms (could only be chosen by himself/herself). Then, you could provide a node type for creating gallery nodes which will be associated with your taxonomy term or will create one. To display the pictures, this is views for.

Yes the user taxonomy term would work, but not sure how that is possible though? Private Taxonomy Terms module might work except it is for Drupal 5. Also, I created image_galleries (image_gallery module) and assigned the vocabulary in the taxononomy admin to the content type I created using the cck fupload (on single node option), but the images are not added to the image_galleries, which I was under the impression was just a taxonomy.

image_gallery module won't work because it only works together with image.module. I'm afraid, you have to do some programming by yourself, but not really much.

Is this currently supported by this module? I need a module where I can produce multiple nodes from each image in a batch upload.

Yes, it is supported.
