I can't get the insert button doesn't display for fields based on the field_image field that's predefined in a clean Drupal 7 installation.

To reproduce: under Content Type -> [type] -> Manage Fields, add an "existing field" of "Image: field_image (Image)", save, enable Insert options, save. When you go to add content and upload an image, the insert button and drop-down list options do not appear.

Other modules I had enabled apart from the normal installation profile were Wysiwyg with CKeditor.

I can't reproduce this problem. Obviously Insert was intended to work with the default Image field that Drupal core ships with. I'm assuming you're using the 1.0 version right, not the 1.0 alpha 3?

I was able to reproduce, but only in IE7 & 8. Further research showed that insert wasn't showing because the image uploader is failing, making this a core bug. Found the culprit in #1018714: Image Upload Widget Not Working in IE8.

@Odaeus, if you're using IE, please try the patch over there, and mark this as duplicate.

I have the same problem.
When I choose the image and upload it insert-button doesn't appear. I have currently installed Insert 1.0, CKeditor and Colorbox.
I have tried to create new image-field but nothing helps.
My browser is firefox.

Still need info to reproduce, I can't cause this problem in any browser.

This bug is really weird. When I was at work (pretty strictly maintained network) insert button didn't appear. And I even tried with my laptop with gprs and the insert button still didn't appear. Now when I got home and tested it vóila insert button is where it should be and everything works as it should.

edit: Apparently atleast for me the bug has disappeared and the module works like a charm.

quicksketch, I think this is just a question of a default setting that's not intuitively visible:

  • I Installed Drupal 7.0 on a shared hosting site using MySQL 5 and PHP 5.2.13 using the "minimal" profile.
  • Activated the Field UI and Image modules.
  • Downloaded and installed the Insert module, v 7x-1.0.
  • Created a new content type with Title, Body and Image fields. Used default settings everywhere.
  • Created new content using this type. When adding an image, the Insert module's functionality is not visible.

Going back to Home » Administration » Structure » Content types » Seite and opening "Edit" in the Image Field line, I found that there's a "Insert" collapsible element that contains a "Enable Insert button" checkbox. It was not checked by default, and checking it made everything work as advertised.

Same issue here. The problem was the "Enable Insert button" checkbox being disabled. Good call.

So this is just a documentation thing then? I think the current README.txt should be clear enough.

Hi, I think that a simple line in the insert.module inside function insert_field_widget_settings_form would help a lot, I couldn't find the insert menu too, it wasn't visible enough :)

$form['insert']['#collapsed'] = FALSE;

I'm not going to expand it by default. There are plenty of other options on that screen already. And considering if you have a dozen image styles on your site, you don't need the settings for Insert taking up as much space as the rest of the configuration combined.

Hi, I am also facing similar problem. I installed the insert module and configured the image field on basic page. I am using CKeditor interface for editing the page. When I click on the image icon, the page turns white and unresponsive. I need to refresh page to revive it. When I upload an image (from my desktop), it appears on the screen but it goes below the text. I want it above my text.

I am using drupal 7.

Would someone help please.

has also just turned up for me too - just today. insert worked earlier today. Later in the day, without anything I think of other than the client editing content, the config remains in the content type settings, but there is no insert facility in node edit.

The only other change I can think of is updating the features module, but i've tried rolling that back and insert hasn't returned.
