Re: How do I insert Article Image as an Article Image to News Article using WLW?
 
Thanks for the SQL fix - it seems to work well for me :)

One problem I have got though is that if I use Open to edit an existing post, then it seems like I get a new related image every time - i.e. if I save the post 5 times then I get the ai image in the related list 5 times - is there any way around this?

Thanks again - an absolutely excellent DNN extension :)

Also - just in case this helps anyone else:

Please note that the ai tag only works on images which are local files - if you cut and paste images from a browser then these cannot be used as Article Images currently.

This problem is beginning to cause problems for me now.

Every time a Ventrian post containing an ai image gets edited then I get another Article Image on the server - one of my users has changed one article 20 times already - just minor layout things - but this has resulted in 20 links on the server. Not sure if there's any way around it. Can anyone think of any? 

I'm wondering about maybe even doing a database TRIGGER to delete all AIs on some event... not sure what even though...

If no other suggestions, then is there any way to get the source code for the Ventrian plugin so that I can change it myself?

Just trying to work forwards :)

Hi Stuart.  Sorry I didn't see this until now.  Please send me an email to don along with oldtownit.com and I'll send you the source to the News Articles provider if you still need it.

Hmmm.  I just downloaded News Articles 7.79 and installed in DNN 5.6 and was not able to reproduce the issue.  I'm wondering if this was a bug in News Articles.  I also checked the trigger and it should delete the value used by the insert statement, thereby preventing multiple inserts on edit.  I tested editing from WLW as well as online.
