A basic visual guide in the pdf available here. http://www.paper-leaf.com/blog/2010/01/for-your-clients-how-to-use-wordpress/

Just thought I’d let you know, I found a nice workaround.

Since the image and sharing code boxes appear at the top of every post where I use them, I added a custom field image-key and threw this in my themes Single Post (single.php)

<?php get_custom_field_value('image-key', true);?>

I have an excel page setup so I now just enter 3 fields — the post slug, image filename, and alt. All the rest is in the worksheet and I copy from a concatenated field and paste into the posts custom field.

Works like a charm.

Thanks for the help again. Sometimes knowing what doesn’t work is half the battle.

Okay, I’ll probably sleep on it. Might be some other way to get there. Maybe insert from custom fields…

Thanks all for the help.

With all plugins deactivated it does not truncate immediately on pasting. But does when switching to visual editor.

I’m close to giving up. Not a critical thing, but it would be nice, since a lot of the sites images are the type people like to share and can bring a link back with the right copy/paste form.

I’ve looked at a lot of gallery plugins in vain looking for this feature

okay, shutting down plugins and checking in 2010 theme… drag 🙂

I’ll check it in IE before stripping it down.

It literally pastes differently in the html editor.

I do check it in the visual editor as well, but it truncates the code before I change views.

this form works fine for the bbc code, though it doesn’t need all that encoding for <> =

<form> <input class="showImageTextBox" style="border-color: #555555;" onclick="this.form.showImage1.select()" onmouseover="this.style.borderColor='#FFC533'" onmouseout="this.style.borderColor='#555555'" name="showImage1" size="20" type="text" value="[URL=http://www.mysite.com/the-topic][IMG]http://www.mysite.com/stash/image.gif[/IMG][/URL]" />

</form>

Forms obviously aren’t my strong suit. I just generated this bit of code from frontpage.

This is just a form I sometimes use for sharing an image.

Would be nice if some gallery included a way of photo sharing like this; where you could pull an image into a post with the form and visitors could click and copy html and bbc sharing codes as photobucket and others do.
