Author selected image only content... Is this possible?

[frekur]

I've been trying to figure out what I think should be a really simple feature for my templates. I want to allow the author to choose an image from their image folder (or hard drive to be uploaded to their image folder) for their pages but NOT do it through the WYSIWYG. So far, I've not found a satisfactory answer here and I'm wondering if I'm completely missing something. I'm new to CMSMS and feel that offering an image chooser for the author should be a basic feature of this cms.

In the forums I'm referring to these two threads from 2006:
http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 921.0.html
http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 437.0.html

Have either of these been answered? Is there a way to change the content type to "image"?

I've also tried the ImagePicker module but this isn't good enough as it doesn't offer the ability to choose the image on the page, which I think is confusing to the author.

Additionally, is there anyway to choose an image and also select whether it be right or left floated within text content?

This post got no reply, i am also wondering if this is now possible as time has gone on.

What i would idealy like is for the auther to just be able to select and upload an image for an individsual page as well as entering the text content.

With a block such as this in the template?

{content name="headerImage" type="image"}

Thanks

In CMSMS 1.51 you have a image field in the page edit screen, using this the editor can pick a image for each page. In your template you can then decide where on your page this image should show up.

That won't allow you to update images unfortunately. For that task you might want to look at the practical image upload module (http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/imgupload).

good luck!
