I installed file uploader with Plupload but I still can’t easily insert images into my posts. Right now, when I click “Insert/Edit Image” a box opens that asks for “source” but the user has to type in the address of the photo by hand.
Is there any way to enable users to simply cut and paste photos into their post?
If not, is there anyway of allowing them to browse their computer for photos to upload so they don’t have to type or copy/paste the whole address?
Thanks!
Hi:
When you install the file upload module, you should be able to browse to an image on your machine and upload it. Do you see an ATTACHMENTS button below the reply box/editor?
Thanks.
Yes, I see it, and I see how that allows me upload a file (although I get an error that says “Cannot read property ‘insert content’ of null”
But I want to know if I can cut/paste directly into the text box?
If not, what is the “insert/edit” image button for?
Hi:
No, you can’t cut and paste into the text box. You can link to existing images that are already uploaded to a server (such as public images in your dropbox or on amazon s3 for example.)
Is the “Cannot read property ‘insert content’ of null” message a javascript message? If so, are there any javascript errors in the js console BEFORE you try to do the upload?
Thanks.
