I am looking for an image module that allows me to attatch images (1 or more) to stories. I don't want them to be inline. I just want to be able to pull the image link and its information into the theme for each story and have them appear at the top (e.g. http://www.livinginfulleffect.com/test/example_story/text_template.htm ). I believe I have tried everything and am coming to you all to make sure I have, I really don't want to get into writing a custom module, but I will if I have to.

I liked many of the intuative workflow elements to Image_Assist, and I want each uploaded image to be automatically resized as Image does.

Any advice would be welcomed. If that fails, where is the best place to find someone who can create professional custom modules.

First take flexinode and create a content type with Title, Text and Image. Then you can create a node-flexinode-1.tpl.php in your themes directory. In that file, you can put the image to the top. Flexinode will create 3 sizes of your images, which you can access easily in the template. You can display an image with the code

Only local images are allowed. print $node->flexinode_#NUMBER->smallpath " />

Where #NUMBER is to be replaced with the number of the image field in your flexinode content type.

If that works and is as simple as it sounds I will crown drupal the king of CMSs.

Oh, I just saw that the code for showing images in flexinode templates was removed on submitting. Here it is again (hopefully permant this time): 

 <?php print $node->flexinode_#NUMBER->smallpath ?>

Thanks scroogie, after playing around with flexinode and its templates I understand how it works a little more. I love Drupal and flexinodes and phptemplate. Is there one website that really describes how to work on a themes, the drupal documentation is rather spotty.

There are some code snippets here

and here is an alternative way of doing it:

but i would prefer the first one. What is the exact problem? Maybe i can help.
