You should upgrade to 1.2 final which is much more stable and has less bugs. Maybe your plugin problem will be solved by this as well. If it isn’t, just leave me another message here.
Zarniwoop: When I wrote the Exhibit plugin, I created a new plugin insertion point in the advanced editing form. It lets you drop additional form elements into the form that can update when you submit the rest of the post data. Check out the Exhibit installation instructions and I’m sure you’ll recognize it immediately.
If we can get editing plugin developers on-board with this style of plugin, we might have a better chance of seeing it included in the next WP release. I like the idea of making just one change to the WP source to enable many editing plugins.
This plugin is great! Just two things to make it superb:
1) align option for the images
2) integration with wysiwyg
Great work man!
@ringmaster:
I already looked at the code to see how you worked around the “placement problem” 😉 and I also thought about using this solution but decided against it because I didn’t want to change any original code at all.
Nevertheless, I just reconsidered about it and yes, I will add and use the hook in the next release of the plugin.
@vsa:
Maybe I will install this “What You See Is not What You Get”-thing and see what can be done, but time is short at the moment and I don’t know much about javascript so this may take its time.
Thanks. I upgraded to the latest version (1.3 pre-alpha) and I now have the insert image link. Thanks! I know I’ll be using this plugin a lot.
It works in 1.3 pre-alpha? So I don’t have to change anything for the upcoming release? This is cool!
@vsa:
I also tried to install this WYSIWIG-stuff but it does not work, because I failed to open the rar-archive (I’m using linux and don’t have this new rar-program to do open it), but maybe I can ask a friend to help me with this. I don’t know why he doesn’t use zip like all the other plugins.
Zarniwoop,
Check your e-mail…incoming .zip file for you.
@theglobalguy:
I got it! Thanks for the repackaged plugin. Unfortunately I’ll be away from home for some days, so it will have to wait until the weekend.
I just got another email about the Image Browser not working with WP 1.2 RC epsilon.
The RC in the name means that it is a Release Candidate and not a stable version and for this reason contains bugs and may lack some of the features. I just downloaded the old code to figure out what’s the problem and in fact some needed hooks of the plugin API were missing. So please upgrade to the final and stable WP 1.2 which fixes this and many other problems.
I was just lamenting over the absent “upload image” button on the edit screen (just upgraded to 1.2 from 1.0.2) and I’m so glad I saw this thread.
In simplest terms: your plugin rocks. Thank you for writing it.

I’ve read about your nice hack and installed it now.
I followed your instructions. But I can’t see the thumbnails of the images in the popup-window.
My images folder are not the standard wp-content folder, but it’s called images at the same level.
Where is my failure?
The plugin uses the upload folder configured under WP options. Maybe you can check if the paths are correct (if normal WP upload works and gives you the correct code, it should be ok).
Do you get an error message or doesn’t it display anything at all?

Zarniwoop, I get the same problem.. I just set up a 1.2 final WordPress installation today for a friend using your Image Browser v0.4.. I changed the upload folder to ‘images’ at the same level as wp-content, just as Anonymous has. The thumbnails do not appear. I viewed the source for the pop-up window and the img src line looks like this:
<img src='http://www.janiekong.com/images/thumb-janie1.jpg' width="200" height="163" alt='' />
I’m using IE6, so I’m not sure if the ‘"‘ is “legal” with other broswers.. but thats what is causing the image not to appear..
In any case, this plug in is great.. thanks a lot!

Oops, the code I was refering to was the & quot ; part.. but in portion of code I included it shows as ‘& amp ; quot ;’
I checked it in Firefox and I didnt have a problem seeing the thumbnails..
