I wonder if I can have some pointers. I want to create a workflow for multimedia node creation that is easy, logical and intuitive. I've spent a couple of hours struggling with 4.6.2 and can't see an easy way to do what I want.
This is the desired workflow.
1. Non-technical user with access to 'News' category only, logs in.
2. Creates a 'News' node and unticks 'Published' (intends to unpublish and replace current 'News' node when finished.
3. Inserts an image from his hard disk into TinyMCE formatted text aligned left, 5px horizontal space and hyperlinked to an external site.
4. Inserts another image into the text aligned to the right, 5px horizontal space, hyperlinked and from a 'News Images' private library on the server.
5. Clicks preview, is happy and ticks published, submits.
6. Unpublishes old node and changes it to 'News Archive' category.
7. Logs out, checks site.
The main problems I have are these:
1. If I insert an image from an image gallery within Drupal, it will only be publically visible if the gallery is publically visible. I want to choose from a private archive of pics e.g. it's critical that images aren't available prior to publishing in the category.
2. Using img_asst, I cannot set the alignment or spacing or hyperlink
3. Using TinyMCE image function, I can't upload an image.
4. Using img_asst, I have to create a node to upload an image.
