Attached images elsewhere within the post

[Admin]

This is a very basic hack but pretty cool I think...
Anyway, it lets you place your attachments elsewhere in the post, i.e not at the bottom.
All you need to do is place [attachment] where you want it to show up, and voila. :)

Of course this mainly makes sense if you have view images turned on for attachments, so attached images show up inline.
It will also look best if you edit the "postbit_attachmentimage" template and remove the whole "$post[username] has attached this image:" part.

Anyway, installation is really easy, just one file edit. In functions.php, add this code:
$attachpos = strpos($post['message'], '[attachment]');
if ($attachpos !== false) {
$post['message'] = substr($post['message'], 0, $attachpos) . $post['attachment'] . substr($post['message'], $attachpos + strlen('[attachment]'));
$post['attachment'] = '';
}
Right before this:
//highlight words for search engine
if (isset($highlight) && $highlight != '') {

A screen shot is attached...

Hi,
Didn't seem to work for me :disappointed:
I have 2.23 and found the code in fuctions.php
Added the recommended code after it.

posted a test post
like:

some text here.
[attachment]
some text below

attached a gif.

The post looked like:

some text here.
[attachment]
some text below

image down here as usual

Does it work with 2.2.3 and I've done something wrong? (of course, images are turned on as I see the image in the normal place below the text)
I really want to install this as it's a great feature to have.
Thanks!
Phil

Nice Chen.

[RDX1]

what if you use the muti attach hack? one of my boards i run uses it - friend made it though..

[Admin]

plcguru: You might be running a very old version of PHP.

Try replacing this:
if ($attachpos !== false) {
With this:
if (is_integer($attachpos)) {

short, simple, but sweet. ;)
Thnx Double F

This is a GREAT hack, thanks! How would this work for multiple attachments?

Thanks!

I tried replacing the code as you suggested. No luck. Any other ideas?
Maybe some other hack I have installed might bother this one... like ---New vbcode.js - vBcode and smilie user interface improvement --- ?
Thx,
Phil

[Admin]

Send me your functions.php by email, I'll take a lookie look.

[Stealthy]

Not working for me either on 2.2.5

I installed the vbcode.js hack as well.

[Admin]

Apply it again, my post said AFTER and not BEFORE. :) Sorry.

Thanx to LOGICIAN for this link... BUT.... did anyone modify this hack for MULTIPLE ATTACHMENTS

[Tim Wheatley]

If someone doesn't insert the text, does it go to the default place??

[Bison]

^^
Good one mates!

[Larry@IOG]

Hpw can I get the attachment to the left and then starting at the top of the attachment (I have my attachments thumbnailed) to the right start the post?

Thanks

Larry

I tried to get this hack to work, but it didn't want to. :(

I have

//highlight words for search engine
if (isset($highlight)) {



in my function file, but not


//highlight words for search engine
if (isset($highlight) && $highlight != '') {


Any help? :nervous:
