when i tried to insert an image with image_assist, I get the following code and no image shown.

[img_assist|nid=1|title=test|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=100|height=75]

maybe there is something wrong with my setup perhaps?

ur help is appreciated

do you have the image assist option checked for the input format you're using?

you must check that box (settings->input format) in order for drupal to interpret the image assist code.

Do you have some form of rich text enabled? It looks like the text was kicked out with a <pre> tag. I had this happen with older versions of things like tinyMCE or HTMLArea. I don't remember which one at the time though. Check your other modules and see if anything is conflicting. That's my guess.

Edit: Oh, firebus had a good point too.

I wrestled with this problem for a couple of days, but actually did manage to solve i yesterday. By reeding the documentation. Word for word. What you need to do is to go to administer -> input formats. You probably want to configure "filtered html", so click the link and then chekc the box "inline images" in the filter section.
That did it for me - good luck!

Can youconfirm for me whether my TinyMCE/Img_assist is working right. When I use Filtered Tag and insert an image via Img_assist (using the procedure you described above), I see a yellow box (I assume this is the "image placeholder" I see referred to in various posts?) rather than the actual image. Is this what is SUPPOSED to happen, or is something broke? Don't want to continue to bang my head against this if it is expected behaviour.

If it IS the intended behaviour, why is this intended? Seems like seeing the actual images (as happens with the TimyMCE image insertion button) would be preferred.

Need to know what to tell my clients in this regard. Placeholders will confound them to no end ...

[To put this in context - we are talking about users that need a specific explanation that "F5" is one key - and not two - and that hitting "return" and "enter" mean the same thing] :-)

Yes, in TinyMCE you only see placeholders. I don't think there's any quick fix for this.

Thanks - just wanted to confirm that I had it set up properly.

Cheers.
