Link to original image

Ah, thanks for the tip about Easy Image Insert. I searched high and low for an existing solution to this problem but I couldn't find one. Looks like it's limited to just tinyMCE support at this point, so it looks like FileField Insert has already surpassed its feature-set (other than not having a D5 version).

As for the request, I'd prefer to NOT add that feature in interest of keeping interfaces simple. If you'd like to unconditionally add a link to the file, I'd suggest editing the filefield-insert-image.tpl.php file.

Just check if the URL contains "imagecache", and if so, then make it a link.

<?php if (strstr($url, 'imagecache')): ?>
<a href="<?php $url ?>">
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ($field['widget']['module'] == 'imagefield'): // Use the ALT and Title fields if available. ?>
  <img src="<?php print $url ?>" alt="<?php print $alt ?>" title="<?php print $title ?>" width="<?php print $width ?>" height="<?php print $height ?>" />
<?php else: // For FileField, use the description for both fields. ?>
  <img src="<?php print $url ?>" alt="<?php print $description ?>" title="<?php print $description ?>" width="<?php print $width ?>" height="<?php print $height ?>" />
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if (strstr($url, 'imagecache')): ?>
</a>
<?php endif; ?>

Ah, hmm. Right there's no original image URL available at that point. Currently you'd have to do a preg_replace() to get the URL without the imagecache part of the URL.

I agree with gyt. I personally would not have a use for this module unless it links back to the original image... This could be a very nice implementation for lightbox on my sites. I personally don't know if I have the necessary skills to write this back into the module though.

I'd have to chime in and say this would be a great feature to be able to insert an imagecache image with a link to the full sized one. Would reduce the amount of space for content and bandwidth consumption.

Doesn't linking to the original image get automatically supported if the Image Resize Filter (also by Nate) is installed? Probably not with using the predefined ImageCache presets, but at least for the "original" size + resizing it via WYSIWYG means should work... not?

This would indeed be a great feature, and I think you may find a duplicate here: http://drupal.org/node/479310

I'm marking this as a duplicate of #479310: Add support for add'l CCK Formatters (Lightbox2, etc.).
