Hi,

can someone please confirm that images embedded in a post are only visible to the user who uploaded the pic? As soon as I log in as another user, I'm not able to see the image anymore. It seems that permissions for an uploaded image are based on the user and not on the node's permissions the image is embedded in.

Thanks for short feedback,

Sebastian

your problem sounds similar to the problem with 5.x-1.9.
http://drupal.org/node/349422

What happens with embedded images is that the image node is created unpublished.
I personally want it unpublished so there are not separate image nodes that search engines can access.
Before in 5.x-1.7 (i think) and previous versions is the node was published then you had the Blog post with the image and text and an image node without the blog text.

I have not got any responses to my posts. Not sure what is going on with development of Image.
Maybe they are still on vacation or just too busy. It would be nice if they would add a quick post "we know there is a problem and we will work on it when we have the time".

You are right, this seems to be related. I close this report as a duplicate!

did you update from 5.x to 6.x or a fresh install os Drupal 6.0?

under Admin > Content Mgm > Content Types > Image edit > workflow, is it set to publish?

I tried indeed on a fresh install and the setting is set to "published" and "promoted to front page"

if you post a blog and it has an embedded image and that nodes is "promoted to front page" and image nodes are "promoted to front page" then you will see the image twice.

if you are going use embedded images, it would be best to uncheck "promoted to front page" for the image node.
then you can check "promoted to front page" for the nodes you are embedded images into ie. Blogs.

did you go to admin > content and see how the images are set?
if the image node is set to publish and other users are not seeing the image, that is strange.

Yes, the image is embedded, it is published, but it is not shown even if the user can access the page the image is embedded in.

By the way, I reopen this as a bug, because you have closed the other one, but this problem still exists.

Sorry, but this entire issue is totally weird. What kind of embedded images? I can only guess that you are referring to a different module than Image module.

If you are sure your issue is related to Image module (and not Image Assist or similar modules), then don't follow-up here, but on #349422: Images are not viewable for certain user roles instead, please.
