noobie question about image output

Hi all, my first post, hoping to learn alot about TXP !

One thing im struggling with a little at the moment is determining what some listed plugins actually provide me with..

My question is:

What is the best method, or plugin etc to get a series of images (say 4) attached to an article, and then I want to simply output <img/> tags for these images
from my form outputting the article.

I already have the functionality of a gallery setup which simply use a <ul><li><img/></li></ul> structure and some jquery.

So I want to be able make one post with multiple images and then output <img/> tags for them all into an unordered list.

Could someone perhaps suggest some plugs or methods for me to look into ?

Any help appreciated,

JSAUL

I think he means upm_image. :) You can find it on the same site as the link he gave.

Re: noobie question about image output

ok, i have the upm_image plugin installed, still a little unsure of how this works at the moment though, how do I assign and image to an article for output using this plugin, I cant see an refrence to this in the HELP file or around the admin panels.

do I need to make a comma seperated list in article image input?

Yep. You can use upm_img_popper as an image selector, if you so wish (allows you to simply point and click to add the images). Both plugins used to be together, but I separated them because it became so large, plus allow for folks to use some other plugin if they wanted for the selecting part.
