Inline module button provides a user interface for adding inline files and images.

It opens an inline syntax dialog requesting three properties; inline type(inline, file, attachment), file name or id, and title.
If the selected text is a proper inline syntax, properties are extracted for editing.

A demo is available for testing. Note that you won't see here how inline syntax is converted to a link or an image. You must use drupal's preview in your own site.

Here is the button code:

js:
var regExp = new RegExp('^\\[(inline|file|attachment):([^=\\]]+)=?([^\\]]*)?\\]$', 'i');
var M = regExp.exec(E.getSelection()) || ['', '', '', ''];
var form = [
{name: 'type', type: 'select', options: {inline: 'inline', file: 'file', attachment: 'attachment'}, value: M[1]},
{name: 'name', title: 'File name/id', value: M[2]},
{name: 'title', value: M[3]}
];
E.tagDialog('inline', form, {title: 'Inline Syntax', submit: function(tag, form){
  var type = form.elements['attr_type'].value;
  var title = form.elements['attr_title'].value;
  var name = form.elements['attr_name'].value;
  var str = '['+ type +':'+ name + (title ? '=' : '') + title +']';
  E.dialog.close();
  E.replaceSelection(str);
}});

I'm afraid I don't understand

I'm afraid I don't understand what this button does. Can you clarify?

For instance, it asks for a filename but doesn't supply a browser.

Still trying to Grok this

Are you using inline

Are you using inline module?
A common use case is inserting the files uploaded by upload.module into content body. That's why it only asks for file's name or id, which is already available in the page(node editing page).
Here's a description from inline.module:

The inline.module allows you to display inline the files uploaded
with the current node, with a link to the original image.
You may link to files uploaded with the current node using special
tags. The tags will be replaced by the corresponding files.
The inline module does not attempt to resize an image; it assumes
that you (or the user) will optimize the size and resolution of your
image prior to uploading it to your Drupal; however, a setting of
this module sets the maximum display width and height for images.
If the original image is not bigger that max width and height, it
will be displayed as-is, otherwise its dimensions will be
recalculated, maintaining the same aspect ratio.

Thanks for your support, by the way ;)

Hi First of all, I would like

Hi

First of all, I would like to thank you for developing this wonderful module. It's the best editor I've seen so far.

About this specific button I have a doubt, which inline module are you using? I'm using version 5.x 1.1 and I don't have the options "file" and "attachment".

Kind regards.

Under supervision of Drupal :)
