ImageField Drupal 6 module description
ImageField provides image upload capability to a CCK field. Based on CCK, ImageField is an alternative to legacy image handling tools. It offers features like multiple images per node, resolution constraints, default images, and enhanced support for Views.
ImageField does not provide built-in thumbnail generation but complements the incredibly powerful image generation module ImageCache.
ImageField is associated with:
- ImageCache – for dynamic image generation
- ImageField Extended – adds additional metadata for images such as Description, Title, and Alt text
- ImageField Focus – allows defining custom focal points and integrates with ImageCache presets
- ImageField Crop – allows persistent cropping of uploaded images
- Image FUpload – a bulk image upload tool
ImageCache Dependency
ImageField 6.x depends on the CCK and FileField modules.
ImageField 5.x depends on the CCK and ImageAPI modules.
ImageCache Compatibility
Image.module – ImageField is not compatible with content types provided by image.module.
If you add a CCK ImageField to a content type managed by image.module, image.module will cause all ImageField images to be deleted upon updates for each node.
ImageCache Migration
Refer to the FileField documentation for a list of migration scripts from other modules like Image.module, Image Attach, or Node Images.
Drupal 7 and ImageCache
ImageField has been added to the Drupal 7 core! Therefore, you don’t need to install this module separately for Drupal 7. To migrate ImageField to Drupal 7, install the Drupal 7 CCK package and use Content Migrate to upgrade ImageField to Drupal 7.
