Over here: http://drupal.org/node/163806 there is a discussion from last year about a version of Inline that does what I am looking for (embed CCK Imagefields in content, with the ability specify a CSS class). There was apparently actual code, although the link is now dead.

At the end of that discussion, it says that the changes are now mostly in the Inline API. The linked-to document is just that though - a document. There doesn't seem to be a download for anything called Inline API, and there's nothing by that name in the CVS repos. Everything about Inline API seems to be what finance people call "forward-looking statements".

Is that code actually available anywhere, or has it really gone back from code to a spec? Or am I just missing something?

Version: 5.x-1.1 » 5.x-2.x-dev

Heh.

1) Where did you expect a link to Inline API's code? (so I can insert one there)
2) Did you look at the link named View all releases? ;)

1) Anywhere! :-) On the front page, all the links for Inline API point to the spec, for example. At least a line to explain that the API is part of 2.x-dev (and not 3 or a separate release) would probably clarify.

2) I did, and I got a list of Inline releases. The implication is that there is an Inline API module too (like Polling API or Date API). I can see now that what you actually mean is Inline v2, although in the first couple of paragraphs of the project page it says it will be v3 that uses Inline API.

Either way, I've come to the conclusion that there's nothing here to solve my problem, and won't be for quite some time, so I'll write my own inline module to do what I need, which is a shame as I know it's already been done at least once (or 1.5x).

Thanks.

I'll write my own inline module to do what I need

Yes, Inline API has come a long way. However, you should already be able to implement this feature without much work, instead of creating your own module. That would also help this project.

I'd be happy to (assuming I can get signoff internally to release code). I got the impression that you were more interested in the One Inline To Rule Them All rather than quick fixes (based on the previous discussion) but if that's not the case, I'll see what I can do. My plan was to start with Inline anyway, since it already has the hook_filter/hook_nodeapi layout that I'd need, obviously enough :-)

Closing this issue as there is not really something valuable.

If you proceeded with coding, let me know and/or file a new issue, please.
