I am not sure what the Image tab has to do with this plugin which is appearing on the Write tab.
Everything. Because the plugin just cuts picture_upload_form from image.php (known as images-tab) by using JavaScript. So, it uses users own browser to do the job, and if user has no permissions to image-tab, plugin won’t work. In that case it only outputs blank, as it cant include form from image tab.

Re: stm_image_uploader: directly upload images from Write tab
Interesting. I would never have guessed at that sort of method.
Opening up all permissions still gives me the error. This is one of the last bugs I have to nail down. If it cannot be solved with this plugin does anyone have alternative code? All I want is for the writer to be able to upload a single image and have it applied directly to the article image field.
(Any further work — deleting, renaming — can be done by the editor.)

Re: stm_image_uploader: directly upload images from Write tab
Turns out, only a Publisher can upload. I assumed the plugin works depending on the rights above the image tab, but seems not.
Have to take a look at the code.

Re: stm_image_uploader: directly upload images from Write tab
Ok, so the privileges need to be added to the plugin functions, which arent’ in there yet. So to have the image upload available for all privs levels, right above the register_callbacks add these two lines to the plugin code:
add_privs('handle_picture_upload_form','1,2,3,4,5');
add_privs('picture_upload_form','1,2,3,4,5');( After the txp_interface include call )

That works!
Now, perfection would be achieved if you could tell me how to patch your plugin to:
1. automatically fill in the Article image field with the uploaded image ID
2. display a thumbnail of the image beside the form, so it is clear to the writer which one was uploaded

I’d want to see that as well, better would be even, if the plugin checks against logged in User privs and the automatically inserts the value into the corresponding table.
2. display a thumbnail of the image beside the form, so it is clear to the writer which one was uploaded.
As a preview, before anything gets inserted and uploaded.
May be the plugin author could give it a whirl, else I’ll take a look some time later.
I’d need that as well.

Re: stm_image_uploader: directly upload images from Write tab
I made the mistake of trying this in IE6 and IE7… error of course. After much gnashing of teeth (two other issues were causing errors simultaneously) I found that one must replace this line:
iframe.border = "none";With this one:
iframe.frameborder = "0";Looks the same under FireFox. Works under IE but with an ugly border. CSS should take care of that.

Yep, just like I suggested on page 1 of this thread. ;-)

Anyone got either of these things working?
These would REALLY make this plugin amazing.
Anyone out there with the skills have time to take a quick look?

What about adding title and entering sizes of creating thumbnail? I tried to look into plugin’s code, but it seems to be difficult.
