just did the upgrade to 4.7 which required an upgrade of gallery2 to keep in synch as per the gallery module. This all worked great! Much gratitude to those who worked hard for this!

The most attractive feature of this upgrade was the possibility of using the g2image to make it easy for my users to add images while posting directly from the embedded gallery. I installed it as a tinyMCE plug in and then deciphered around 10 pages of loosely connected installation instructions and finally got the little 'G2' icon to show up in tinyMCE. I click on it and the g2image plug-in triumphantly pops up. All seems to work well. I navigate to a photo. set it to show up as a thumbnail and when i click on it the g2image window dissapears and the thumb appropriately appears in my tinyMCE editing window. At this point I'm giving much love to the developers as it is miraculously smooth. and then ..... when i save the node the image dissapears. I reopen it for editing and its still gone. BOO HOO. ok. now i try to insert it as a text link to the image location in gallery and save the node. again it vanishes. refreshed it and kept going. and my input format has been set to -Full HTML all the time - even added an image the old laborious way just to make sure and it worked fine.

So sadly this otherwise awesome new g2image feature just don't work for me. Any kind soul wanna get involved with this one and make our community happy?

cheers, ekendra

I don't know all of the modules you're using, but what you describe sounds like a filter not being activated inside your "full HTML" format (see path 'admin/filters/3')

thanks for your reply. i don't think that this is the issue because i can post images using other methods. the problem is most likely with just the g2image plug in for tinyMce. Like I said, it looks like it is working fine until i go to submit the node. then all the images dissapear. its bizzare.

id be grateful if anyone knew how to get past this as i have a meeting thursday where I'll be explaining to lots of non-tech folks how to add pics to their content.

I think I'm having the same issue, but I'm not clear about what filters need to be active-- I have input set to full html, but the image selected isn't 'sticking' on save-- either when I click on a thumbnail or use the G2 filter method-- Am I missing a piece of the puzzle here?
