Drupal: Multiple Node Creation

Question

I've found myself in a situation where I need to have one node that allows for only ONE image to be associated with it. In other words, the maximum images that be can be attached to my image type "IMAGE", is 1. My problem is, that users must be able to upload several images at once. So, I need one of the following:

• A way to create several nodes one after the other (maybe flexi node?? but the problem with flexi node is that I need to have prepopulated node refence field that can't be updated when I add another flexi node field)
• A way to upload, and inser the data myself (creating distinct nodes) (i.e. create a custom upload interface)

I would of course prefer the first option, but other than FlexiNode, what is the best thing to use?

Answer 1

CCK imagefields add images to exsisting nodes but by default has many images. You may want to look at the image module which creates an image node type, or node images which seems to associate an image with a node (it supports bulk uploading).

Answer 2

You have looked at the Content Construction Kit and its built-in image field, have you? I believe flexinode is pretty outdated.
