Hi all, I can't figure this out...

While I'm editing my node body I want to upload a file and get an inline file link in the body text, just like I can insert an image with Image Assist. I've searched for a module that does this and I am amazed that I haven't found one. There probably is one out there since I ought not to be the first user wishing to do this...

* Now we use Image Attach, but it would be nicer to be able to have the links in the body text instead of as attachments at the bottom of the page.
* I am using TinyMCE but haven't figured out how to get Advlink to work, so I don't know if I could achieve it with that.
* Looked at module Inline but that one requires the file to already be uploaded into the www/files folder and you also need to know the file name in order to be able to use it. I want users to be able to upload files as they edit the text, that makes the workflow easier and more logical.
* Looked at IMCE but for some reason my site doesn't detect it although I copied the IMCE folder to sites/all like I did with Inline (which was instantly detected).

I'm so tired of this now, I need for someone to point me in the right direction or I'll give up...would be much appreciated.

Not sure exactly what to tell you but I do have one piece of advice. If you get CCK that has a group of "extensions" that allow you to do different things with the content types. One of them is called "Files" and one of them is called image. I recently setup a portfolio site using the same system...not exactly as you described but when you do upload files and/or photo's it shows a direct inline link to the file..because it uses Ajax to upload the file temporarily BEFORE the node is saved.

That might point you in the right direction..just look at the CCK project and it's related extensions.

If you don't want to have to use attached files (with the upload or filefield modules), then IMCE is usually the way to go. However, there's a new module, http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg_imageupload, that looks similar-- probably worth a look.

Does this describe a solution to your problem?

fyi inline does have an auto-inline feature--set in the content type settings.
