Dear all,

I want to migrate our companies newspaper website to Drupal. This website made from Code Igniter Framework and created a year before i worked here by other programmer. I don't have time to learn CI, because i use in learning drupal.

What i want to know:
Is there a way to create 2 node (image and news) with a condition news node create first, after that image node attach to news node. If image already exist then there is a search box to find the image and attach to news node, but if image doesn't exist then there is a facility to upload that image and attach to news new.

This news node can have one or many image. If image more than one then it's display like slideshow with clickable thumnail. This image node of course have a author and caption. It's been more than 2 month trial and error.

The closest way i've tried are, image node created with CCK + ImageField + Image Cache. This is good, because i can have author and caption field, and image field have path setting so my picture can save in monthly directory. Image cache also great because image can have multiple size. Then for news node have a node reference explorer to search this image and attach the image node. Almost meet my expectation but there is no way to upload image that doesn't exist.

Please help me to find a way to create news node and image note attached to news node.

Best regards
