Hello, all. Apologies if this is the wrong place to post, but I thought you developers might be able to clue me in.
I'm curious if this is possible. I've created a new content type using CCK - a "live event" type. I'd like to be able to include a thumbnail image which links to a specific gallery (e.g. pictures taken at that event).
I've asked about this in the forums, but didn't get an answer, at least not one that uses the Image module:
http://drupal.org/node/502308
From what I understand, image_gallery uses its own method of creating galleries, outside of Taxonomy or Views, and does not create its own node type. Is there a way to get the thumbnail information into a non-gallery node? Even using custom PHP code?
Apart from this, the Image module does what I need, so I'd rather not spend a bunch of down time switching over to ImageAttach and its related modules (which may not offer this functionality anyway).

Nobody?

image.module does not use cck - you may want either imagefield.module or filefield.module or one of the other cck image modules.

Marking as duplicate of #405456: Galleries made with views. You can follow up on that issue to track its status instead. If any information from this issue is missing in the other issue, please make sure you provide it over there.
However, thanks for taking the time to report this issue.

Are you sure this is a duplicate?
I should be clear: At present, I'm not using Views at all. I just have a single node type (created with CCK), and I'd like an image attached to that node to point to an image gallery, not to its own image node. Something like "gallery_attach" instead of "image_attach."
How would a gallery made with Views affect this? Am I missing something?

Upon reading through all of the posts in #405456, I can tell you now with certainty that this is NOT related to that issue.
If a gallery was made with Views, I would not be able to insert that into a node, either. What I need is to make each gallery a NODE, so that I can use CCK's Node Reference field type.
So, I'm closing this thread, and starting another as a Feature Request instead. I hope this is the right thing to do.
