I have this and some forthcoming projects that I need help with. Here's a brief rundown of this project, which is mostly to do with Images attached to the "story" content type:

We're using image module's "image attach" along with upload_image to allow images in the story content type. When clicking the Random Image block, Upload_image's default makes a link to the associated story. We like this. We want the image module's "image attach" to do the same thing.

The other main issue we're facing is that we anticipate a large community and we're worried about "stranded" images. Currently, both image attach and upload_image create new image nodes. That's fine. But they don't automatically delete when a user deletes a story. We want all of a story's associated images to do this.

The other thing is very minor, but is anyone able to make the taxonomy_ticker scroll horizontally? And fix the current bug in 4.7?

We look forward to working with drupal's developers in the future! Thank you.

I'll need some clarification on what you need for the image_attach to work differently with a story.

Currently when I attach an image to a story, and view the stories teaser, it shows a thumbnail that links to the story. Which is what I think you are asking for it to do - Are you experiencing something different?

No, that's exactly what I experience. In addition, however, I need it to communicate with the Random Image block like upload_image does. After a user clicks the random image block, pictures uploaded with upload_image display a caption beneath the image: "This image was uploaded with the post ****".

It also lists the "parent post" in links. I want image_attach to do the same.

I find it a useful feature to highlight random stories. A user can click on a random image and that takes them to the related story.

Currently I use image_attach to display an image in the teaser. I use upload_image to display thumbnails in a block beneath the full story.

If you can do this, I'm willing to split up this project.

Let me know if you need any additional information.
