Re: Module: Embed Images November 25, 2009 10:07PM |
Hello to anyone who can help. I installed the embed images module and when I try to embed an image I get the a small "X" where the image is supposed to be. What am I doing wrong? I like the way this works, but I am not having such luck. Please help.

I'm not sure what the error was, but I'm glad you got it to work.
If others find this part of the thread with the same problem: check out the webserver's error log or specific PHP error log. There might be hints why the resizing isn't working. Possibilities could be things like restrictions on the PHP installation or system setup issues that block the webserver from downloading images for resizing.

If I would change that code, it means that I would be changing dynadrive's code, which makes it less easy to upgrade. The path should be overwritten from the function image_viewer_common() in viewers/dynadrive/functions.php.

The problem is that the attachment does not belong to that post. The attachment rendering only works for attachments that belong to the same post.
The way in which this works, is that the rendering is done with the list of attachments as a starting point. So for each attachment, the [attachment ..] link is processed. That's why attachments links from other messages won't render currently.
For what you require, the whole process would need to be different. We'd have to scan the body for [attachment ..] links to replace them. One extra issue that would rise from doing things this way, is that you can try to include images from random threads in a posting. Security-wise, this would need some extra code to not only find these attachment links, but also to check if the attachment is part of the same thread and if the authenticated user is authorized to view the image.
I will keep the idea in mind, but don't expect this overhaul to be implemented really soon.
