XF 2.1 Referencing attachments posted in other threads?

[Ludachris]

Let's say you want to reference attachments posted in another thread in a new reply. I went into another thread, copied the reply (which included attachment code) and pasted the quoted reply into a new thread. The attachments show up as text links "view attachment 123" in the quote instead of displaying as inline images. Is there a setting I need to change to get the attachment to display as an inline image instead of a text link?

If they are images, they must be embedded if you want the image to display.

If they are images, they must be embedded if you want the image to display.

So replace the ATTACH bbcode that is generated in the reply and replace it with IMG tags, using the full image URL?

 

[Paul B]

Yes.

Why is this the case? This seems odd, especially since linked images show up in replies.

Can someone please tell me what is the line of code to add to use the attachment of an another post?

You just use the standard embed option.

Many thanks @Brogan.
But I have a simple question. Why the default code of an attachment doesn't works in an other post if it just have in it the id of the attachment? Would be useful that copying the entire content of a post to another post (or only just the default attachment link) make work the attachment. It just have in it the id so the reference of the attachment is just there, but furthermore it's not been read.

[ATTACH type="full" alt="19.jpg"]49579[/ATTACH]

Hello, but is there a shortcut icon in the post editor that "gives" that IMG bbcode?
