Hey guys,
I decided to use OpenPublish to create a website similar to chilloutpoint.com. First of all, is that a wise decision to use openpublish for this kind of site dedicated more for images than the text ?
So, if the OpenPublish that I chose is right for this kind of website I would like to ask if anyone can suggest modules for handling a lot of images. Right now when I have tested it and created new articles with about 15 images it takes a lot of time to download the images from another website then to uploade them one by one with inbuilt editor and then insert them into the article.
I was thinking that for every new article item there should be a new image folder so the images will be organized well. And there should be a way to upload all the images at once and later insert all the images at once.
OpenPublish is really a comprehensive and well designed system for publishing corporations. I have to thank for all the hard work that everyone has put into it. But maybe in this case OpenPublish might not be the best solution for my goal. Looking forward to your opinions.

DrupaJan, what I would do
DrupaJan,
what I would do would be to extend Article content type (or duplicate it, you can actually clone entire Article feature using http://drupal.org/project/features_clone) and instead of having single-item main image, would modify that to have unlimited values. That way you can use the very user-friendly imagefield (which, in OpenPublish's Article configuration actually has ability to download images from URLs) instead of the primitive WYSIWYG image upload.
Once you have that you can theme the new content type to make it look any way you like.
Thanks
