Hi hohar and welcome. I can try to help.
First of all note that the modification is for RC2 and hasn't been upgraded to RC3 yet, but it will be identical or nearly identical and should not be a problem at all.
Second, we use the mod every day here over and over, so it is very stable and works well.
Third, i've made a few improvements that I haven't posted yet - if you give me a week I can try to upload a new version, perhaps ready for RC3. But that shouldn't stop you from tying to get current version installed since it will be easy to change.
Fourth, with regard to:
with this code in place in a display.template.php file copied to the theme folder i was using in my forum, the inline attachments seemed to work. however, i didn't see any drop down menus like in the screen capture above when i was posting the topic.
the drop down menu items are very optional - we use them here in a couple of places just to help remind people what they can do. i can post the code for some of them if you like. basically the ONLY thing they do is add to the post stuff like
[attachthumb=1][/attachthumb]
in case the user has forgotten what keyword to use for thumbnails, etc. basically it's just a reminder helper so the user doesnt have to remember what to type. That's all it doest.
As for this:
also, once posted, the image was inline and the formating was off below it. specifically, the "report to moderator" and "show ip address" fields were locate way out of the area defined for the topic.
That's a little trickier since we use a slightly non-standard template, however it really shouldnt look ANY different at all - after all the whole point is for inline images to be in the text and not effect the post otherwise.
Maybe you could post a screenshot or email me (
