Hi,

I'm looking for a solution that allows a user creating content to upload images from their local machine and embed them in the story / page being created.

I currently have a setup using TinyMCE & the attachment module (with a bit of custom code to bind the two together) but I'm finding a range of problems such as: TinyMCE's "are you sure you want to navigate away" popup being alerted when I click preview, IE users being unable to resize images, and access to uploaded images being denied until the node is submitted.

Does anyone know of an out-of-the-box solution for allowing users to use their own images when creating content? I'm using Drupal 4.7.

I am copy/pasting from a reply I gave to an identical forum question yesterday:

inline module: Very simple, you just type a tag in the text after uploading the image as an attachment. No browsing of existing images. http://drupal.org/project/inline

image module + img_assist module: Good for organizing your images in galleries (images become nodes), with thumbnails etc, but not very quick if you don't need that. http://drupal.org/project/image http://drupal.org/project/img_assist (this one actually places the image)

IMCE module: For easy uploading and placing and for browsing already uploaded image directories. Works well with TinyMCE. http://drupal.org/project/imce

CCK + imagefield: The uploaded image is placed at a predefined place on the post. It may require some theming before it works right. http://drupal.org/project/cck http://drupal.org/project/imagefield http://drupal.org/project/imagecache

Thanks! Mark.
