Hi, I am new to drupal. I am familiar with Mambo/Joomla, but I am very interested in drupal. Currently I want to convert some sites from Mambo/Joomla to Drupal, but have some problems. The main problem is that I am trying to insert various images into a single story/page. For instance, in Mambo/Joomla, I had to upload the images into the media folders, and then with a {mozimage} tag, I could include as many images as I liked into a single story. So far, I have only been able to upload 1 image per story, how do I upload multiple images per story??? Please help.

That Depends.
You have a number of options - You probably want to look at one of the modules for handling images in Drupal -- probably either the IMCE module or the img_assist module. It depends a little on whether you're using one of the WYSIWYG editors (and which one), etc.

You'll want to add some sort of image-handling module to be able to deal with images a little more like what you're used to from Joomla

Gallery2 is also very cool. There is a lot more to setting it up. I have only used it once. But it was actually fun after I got everything working together. It is not a typical quick - down and dirty soluation though.

I loaded the actual 3rd party program Gallery2, in a sub-dir to make it cleaner.

my host has a one-click install for Gallery2- made it very simple to load

Unfortunatly Drupal does not have any core image handling module. I'm eager to see image handling included inside the core of a new version.

Currently a lot of user are using the Image module, but this one does not offer all the functionnality of a full-grown image manager and have some problems with localization. You might also try the new IMCE module.

Hi,
I suggest Tinymce & IMCE modules. They do not have any module dependencies like Image or Image_Assist. As they produce just html output to the nodes, even without these modules, the images will work fine for you.

Thanks for all your help guys. I used img_assist, image and the imce modules. I am using it on the textarea instead of adding tinymce.

Thanks again.
