   Hi,

   I'm currently using several custom field plugins (more fields, custom field template) that allow you to add a wysiwyg editor as a custom field.

   Whilst the wysiwyg editors of "more fields" and "custom field template" work for adding plain text, you can't insert images into anything other than the post.

   I'm looking for a plugin that lets you insert an image into one of these wysiwyg custom fields using the wordpress media/image uploader so that the client can hyperlink the images as they would in a normal post.

   I know there are ways round it such as Verve meta boxes, which allow you to upload images using image fields, but the client is looking for a more visual, friendly way of insert images specifically into wysiwyg custom fields.

   Any suggestions?

   Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong area

   Thanks

   You could try this

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_theme_support

   not sure if its what you are looking for tho.

   add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');
   if (has_post_thumbnail()) {
     the_post_thumbnail();
   }

   Really easy to use and good for clients.

   Thanks for the response,
   i don't have any issues with allowing them to upload thumbnails and then accessing them in the code,
   my issue is that within any wysiwyg editor other than the main "post" editor, the image/media uploader doesn't allow you to insert into...
   the only option is to "insert into post".
   Just wondering if anyone had found a solution of adding images into a wysiwyg editor other than the main page editor?
   Thanks

   When you insert a image there are 3 options under "Link Url":

   1. none (don't link)
   2. File URL (link to image)
   3. Post URL (link to post)

   Or is this not what you want?

   Thanks for you response keesiemeijer,
   however the links aren't the issue.
   It's getting the images to insert into the wysiwyg editor which is the problem.
   i've added the tinyMCE advanced plugin which lets you add images based on their URL into any wysiwyg editor, this is a stop gap solution but i'm still looking for a more user-friendly way of inserting images into any wysiwyg editor.
   Hope this makes sense,
   Thanks
