Attached images elsewhere within the post · **Released**: 07-09-2002

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:

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:

Code:

	//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

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

Try replacing this:

Code:

	if ($attachpos !== false) {

With this:

Code:

	if (is_integer($attachpos)) {
