image module and imagefield cck: how do I get the best of both?
Hello everyone,
I've created a context-sensitive mini-gallery using views2 and an imagefield in a custom "photo" node created using cck. I love the fact that using lightbox module users can browse images very easily, and using imagefield and imagecache I have a lot of control on the size of the displayed images.
Now I'd like to let my users re-use the images from the custom "photo" nodes in their blog posts, like you can do using the image_attach module from image module or in a easy way like with the image_filter module.
I've searched everywhere, and I didn't find any way to do these kind of things using images uploaded through the imagefield module.
So I though that I could switch from imagefield to the image module, that lets me do this kind of things easily, but I found that I couldn't use the images from the image module in views2, so I can't swithch my custom context-sensitive view from imagefield to image module :-(
Any clue? Is there a way to get what I want? Where should I look? What should I try?
IMCE Image module
Check out the IMCEImage module. I've never used it but it looks like it may accomplish what you're trying to do.

Also checkout the http://drupal.org/project/inline module-- there's a patch in the issue queue to work with cck filefields and imagefields.

Thank you, but...
Thank you, they are both interesting but it seems that they both let me do only half of the job - attach an image and display it inline.
I still can't find an easy way (from the user point of view) to put an inline imagein a new node from a different, existing node... :-(
