(Drupal 4.6.4)
I'm trying to configure our site so that images can be uploaded and displayed relatively easily by our users.
I've installed and switched on the correct versions of these modules: Image, and Image_assist, also Teaser_images.
As far as I can tell, Image and Image_assist appear to be working; however, I noticed that Image_assist defaults to 'filter' not 'html'. When I import the code using 'filter' and then submit the post, the code shows up not the image.
First, is that normal behaviour? The input format is set to HTML (or Textile since it allows Textile markup).
Second, if that's normal, is there a way to reset that default to html instead? I know that 99% of our users will simply leave it as default and not understand why their picture isn't there and some weird looking code that they don't even recognize as a link is.
Regarding the Teaser_images module, as far as I can tell, that *doesn't* appear to be working. As I understood it, it should convert any image in the teaser/excerpt to a thumbnail for the summary pages. But it isn't doing anything that I can tell.
Could that be due to the fact that I'm using the Excerpt module to allow custom teasers? Or is that irrelevant?
Finally, when you click on the 'add image' link in the Image_assist window, you seem to have to add an image as a whole new node... is that right? Is there no way to upload and attach the image to the post in one go? (I feel sure I'm missing something here because the ten-year-old discussion software we use can manage this, so surely something as feature rich as Drupal can.)
