I've searched and searched (maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place) but for the life of me I can't find a way, even with all the Image modules and such loaded, to have more than one image for a content type - aside from gallery or image things of that nature.

Basically what I'm trying to have is so that the story content type can have as many images for it as possible, not the 1 that the image module seems to lock you into.

Ideally I would like to have the one master image (which is displayed in the teaser, etc.) and then on the full node page all of the images available. This seems like it should be something easily accomplished in Drupal but I guess I'm just missing something.

Any takers?

use CCK.module with the imagefield.module set your default imagefields for unlimited.

input is easy ..the devil is how to show the images...

1 basic concept about field : multiple values
that means, if u setup a image field, say image_01 as a multiple value filed, u can upload (say) 3 images , (say) img1.jpg, img2.jpg, img3.jpg into this single field.

1 field with 3 images.

(after adding the image filed into a content type, locate the multiple value option. )

setup and upload is easy. then how about the presentation ..?

if u upload 3 images, when u view the content, u will see 3 images, just grouped together.

u have to build your own theme to present them in your way. Say as you mentioned, 1 in teaser and 3 in the full node.

bye,

to add on: presentation can be helped by the contemplate.module whereby you can see what is avilable and print those fields to custom.tpl.php file. One can also use views and a custom.tpl.php file
