Trying to work through Chapter 7, and quickly ran into a wall.

The ImageField module is supposed to create an image field type that you can choose when creating new content types, but despite being activated just as the book specifies (along with Content, FileField, and Taxonomy), there is no image field type available.

I checked the ImageField issues on drupal.org, and it was suggested that the Content Permissions module should be turned off. While that seems to have worked for one person, it has not worked for me.

I'm at a loss.

Is anybody else experiencing this problem? Any ideas what might be going on?

Well naturally as soon as I post, I figure it out. It's like the magical solution summoning dance.

There must be some version changes at play. The book has the configuration options appearing quite differently than what is actually happening on my screen. The book has you needing to select "image" from the field type dropdown, as well as "image" from the widget dropdown. It appears that you actually have to select "File" from the field type dropdown.

My bad. Stupid non-dynamic printed book pages!

From what I've read, this was an upgrade to ImageField in a new release since the book was written.
