upload and open photo attachments in Articles

How hard would this be to add to articles?  I would like to be able to do something similar to this.

this way you could attach images to an article (preferably anywhere in the article)

and you can click on the thumbnail to open a full size image on a new page... then click back on the image to go back to the article.

seems like the images could just be uplaoded to the TP-Images folder then just auto insert into the page so it could be easily moved around and resized.



What would be best IMO would be the ability to make an article into a photo album when its created... so there would just be an option to add an album to this article.  then you just upload all the photos you want into that album and they would be auto inserted into the article just by inserting a code.

I can picture it working with coppermine, but when the TPGallery comes out it would be a very cool feature.

In the current tp version you can do this with php code, but it is probably a lot of work to make that out.
Also you have the editors (allthough they have bugs with image handling), but i think it will get better in future releases of tinyportal as Bloc tries diffrent things, including a new editor, but we will have to see where it take us.
Right now you have to code the article in eather php or html to get what you want, so there is no "easy" way if you dont know how to code

thats what I figured. Thanks for the reply! I'll continue to use the html for thumbnails.

I'm glad I'm not the only one... only took 6 months

I'm thinking it would be nice to just use lightbox2 for this.  It's not that hard to do, but would be cool if it was easly added with an upload box or something.
