Hi, I've read this thread on the forum of PagEd, a content management module for postnuke, envolution:
http://paged.anubix.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=XForum&file=viewthread&tid=378#pid1314
Now a hack for submit news of postnuke is ready and photoshare (and PagEd) works with it.
Wouldn't be nice to add a similar feature to G2?

Here a quote of this thread:
"Assume you want to add an image to an article. You then have to figure out the URL your self and then write it into the input field for the URL. But it would be a lot nicer if you could browse the image database and select directly from there.

Proposal: to do this you keep the input field but add some very simple JavaScript around it - this is some code that Photoshare would specify and which PagEd (or some other editor module) would implement - a standard JavaScript API for the image library.

This JavaScript/HTML code adds a "find image" button that, when activated, opens a new window with a specific URL into Photoshare's module. Photoshare then takes care about the the image browsing and when an image is selected, the URL is pasted into the original input field."

This would probably be pretty easy to implement. But we haven't done it yet and have bigger fish to fry. I'll put this on my todo list for when we start on the CMS integrations.
