==================================
                        IMAGE BROWSER FOR WORDPRESS 1.2+
                       ==================================


ABOUT
-----
this plugin adds an "insert image" button to the top right corner 
of the edit screen which opens an image browser as a popup window
to select from all previously uploaded images and add the appropriate 
code to the post.


FEATURES
--------
* Display images as graphics for easy selection.
* Sort images by name or by date of the last modification (normally
  this should be the time of upload) both ascending and descending. 
  Default is to display the newest images first.
* Automagically recognize thumbnails and -- if you want it -- link
  to the fullsized version.
* Uses javascript to add the code to the post with one simple click.
* You can choose between different ways how to include the file into
  your post. Also normal links are now available (e.g. for pdf's) with
  reasonable presets for the different filetypes.


INSTALLATION
------------
* Copy image-browser.php to /wp-admin/
* Place image-browser-plugin.php in your plugins folder, located at 
  /wp-content/plugins/ and activate it in the admin panel.
* Go to the Post screen and you should see the link in the upper
  right corner (this is meant literally). If you want a better
  placement of the button, read on below.
* Make sure that the fileupload path and URI are set up correctly.
  You can find them under WP Options > Misc. Of course you'll have 
  to upload some images before you can browse through them.


CONFIGURATION
-------------
Look at image-browser.php for configuration options (sorry, there's
no GUI for it yet).


BETTER PLACEMENT OF THE BUTTON (for WP 1.2)
-------------------------------------------
The placement is due to some limitations of the plugin API in WP 1.2.
If you want the button at a better place, you will have to do a simple
hack on the code:

1. Make a backup of wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php, so if you messed up
   anything, you can always go back to the original version and start 
   over.
2. Open wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php with your preferred editor.
   Search for 'editcomment'. It should look like:
       ...
       </script>
       <?php
       if ($action != 'editcomment') {
       ...
      
   Add a new line between '</script>' and '<?php' to make it look like:
       ...
       </script>
       <p><?php do_action('edit_form_advanced', ''); ?></p>
       <?php
       if ($action != 'editcomment') {
       ...
      
   This will add a new hook to the plugin API. Save the file.
3. Open wp-content/plugins/image-browser-plugin.php and set
   $ib_use_hack = TRUE; (don't forget the semicolon).
4. The button will now appear just below the content area in the 
   *advanced* edit form (you can enable 'Advanced controls' under 
   WP Options > Writing).


BETTER PLACEMENT OF THE BUTTON (for WP 1.5)
-------------------------------------------
Since the plugin API has been improved in WP 1.5 just follow steps 3 
and 4 from above. Steps 1 and 2 are no longer necessary.

In the edit form for *pages* the link is placed at the bottom of the
page, since there was no better option. The "better placement" is then
much worse than the standard placement. Therefore, when you use pages
it is best to keep the default settings.
