attached image teasers output after teaser

the image attach module is included with the image module.

You are confusing two separate modules.

image_attach.module, which comes with image.module, allows you to reference an image node from another node. Its position is specified in the functions theme_image_attach_teaser and theme_image_attach_node which can be overridden in a theme's code.

The image_filter.module does something different. It allows you to type code into a node body that loads an image node. This allows you to set the position of the image. Look for the image_filter.module.

I'm running into a similar problem. In 4.x, theme_image_attach_teaser returned both the node teaser and the image code it added. It put the image at the top of the teaser; afterwards you could position it as you liked using CSS.

Now, theme_image_attach_teaser returns as output ONLY the image code, and not the teaser. node.module, I assume, is calling the theme_image_attach_teaser only after the teaser is output. So the image drops to the bottom of the node. I can't reposition it using CSS absolute positioning because not all node teasers are the same size, and relatively I can only put it to the top of its own div, which is still at the bottom of the teaser.

Anybody know a way around this? I've got way too many attached images to replace them all with image_filter tags, and I'd prefer not to hack a core module to get the old behavior.

see http://drupal.org/node/73854 it has a patch attached.
