whenever you attach a file, or files, to a post, they're stuck down at the bottom of the post and thumbnailed to a small size.
forum code has been added that will allow you to attach images to your post and place those images anywhere within the body of your post.
here's an example of just attaching an image to post, and seeing it at the bottom ....
-
now here's a post that uses the same attached image as above, but puts that image inside the body of the post itself.
[ Invalid Attachment ]
kinda neat, eh?
how'd he do dat?
easy. just attach yer image (or images) as you normally do, then wherever in the body of your post that you want the attached image to appear, simply type this code ...[attach=1]the number (in this case "1") is for the first attached image - increment that number for each other attached image (if there is more than 1 attached image).
-
Neat, Rob! :bl th up
-
I like this feature a lot better than the little "attachment" feature.
IMHO, This has been needed, very glad to see it has come about.
You're spot on.....how'd he do that?
Thanks Rob!

I know! Rob done gone "In-Line" on us...what a terrible thing to have happen to a fellow traditionalist.
However, It didn't take me long to discover that I'm all in for "In-Line" when it comes to this application of the term.

I'm going to try this with my tablet , I've never gone there before, so I don't know what to expect.

Not trying to steal this thread, but what would that pistol weigh? I also wouldn't want to clean it.

lemme ask the obvious - are you sure that that MikeFink.pdf file exists on your computer?
-
Yes it does. I use the "Choose File" button under "Attachment and other options" to find the file. The file name appears in the box. Then I click the "Insert Attachment 1" and the "attach=1" appears inside square brackets. But when I preview or post nothing appears, not even the [ Invalid Attachment ] that I see when you quote my message in your reply.
Like here, the image should appear between two smiley faces
:) [ Invalid Attachment ] :)
Worse is that I've successfully done this several times before.
-
pdf files can be strange to include inline ... i fudged around it and now they'll show up. :applaud :*:
-
Let me try the PDF file again and then a JEPG file. I tried both originally, neither worked.
PDF
[ Invalid Attachment ]
JPEG
[ Invalid Attachment ]
Fingers crossed .... They both appear attached now, only the JPEG displays inline.
I notice too that I can now do attachments when I modify a post. That didn't appear earlier.

Looks like you finally did it.
Don't know if it was you, or something Rob did but you gotrdone.
Uncle Russ.....

The problem, apparently, was only with PDF files. Rob did something so they at least show up as a link, but still not inline.
JPEG files work fine. I had tried the PDF file because it was much smaller (70k vs. 250k), and the website software acts like PDF files should work. But, after 40 years as a software engineer I should know better that to expect software to actually work :Doh! What was I thinkin'!
Rob, is there a try-it-out forum to test things like this and everyone doesn't get notified?
-
inline pdf links now show up ... there is NO way to show pdf content, only images and videos are direct content.
[ Invalid Attachment ]
... no test forum - if something fails, i'd like to know about it here in the live forum.
a lot SMF "features" are mod add-on hacks, and inline images was one of them.
-
inline pdf links now show up ...
[ Invalid Attachment ]
The link shows, but the image does not appear as it does for JPEG files.

see my post above your last post ^^^^
ALSO - images embedded inside any other medium, like a pdf file, can never show. better to just use the image rather than pdf it.
-
these are the allowed attached file types ...
Allowed file types: doc, gif, jpg, pdf, png, txt, zip
gif, jpg, png - these are direct content and will be viewed. this is also true of external videos that are archived elsewhere on the web.
doc, pdf, txt, zip - these are not direct content and can only appear as links
