Tree Icon In Visual Editor
Thu, 06/05/2010 - 01:24
Is there a way to separate out the function of the tree icon in the visual editor to add it in as a separate line item in the story creation?
I really like the functionallity and the way it works, but I want to make it a more prominent part of the story add node. If you look here http://drupaldev.freedomsphoenix.com/node/add/news you can see how I have tried to mimic it., but it is a poor alternative, and has other problems, when trying to create a story view using fields.
My client wants the story layout on the front page to have a specific format (http://drupaldev.freedomsphoenix.com/frontpage) so I can't use the node view.
Thank you for any help you can give in this area.

Hi,
There isn't an easy quick way that I can think of ... it would require a chunk of code to reimplement the image insert functionality.
However ... if you are familiar with Drupal and Drupal's CCK, there is one technique which might work. It's not quite the same thing as you've suggested, but it may be satisfactory. The idea is to add a CCK imagefield to your news node. Then there will be a separate image upload field when you edit news nodes. However, you will also have to adjust the theming of news nodes so the new imagefield shows up properly in the right place (relative to the rest of the news content).
