The 3.x revamp seems to be an improvement on the previous series except for one thing: no image manager. The site states that this is done in the form of a complete rewrite of the old image manager which will be provided in the paid subscription.
Too bad. I own a couple of non-profit websites and paying ~30 euro each 6 months for an editor which is only occasionally used is a no-go for me.
The image editor is freely available to all. You can use it on all your sites, without limitaitons or cost in the 2.6 series. However, A massive amount of work has been undertaken to rebuild the image editor for the 3.0x series. This will soon be available including 6 months worth of updates and Professional Forum Support. The image editor in the (3.0x) is also 'GPL', so you can use it on all your sites for a 'one' of payment subscription for €32.00,! Now that can't be bad..?
If not, you have a third layout option: advanced templating. The site does not help with a description what this means so I had to look through the source: it adds a 'avatar' parameter holding the HTML for the avatar to the 'article' object.
Adding the avatar in advanced mode is simply adding something like this to your template:
article->avatar) { echo $this->article->avatar; } ?>
Cheers for this handy plugin!
The only feature that seems to be missing is retrieving previous posts (which can be handy to quote or update old postings).
Keep up the good work!
P.S. I've looked at the source a few times and I dare say the lack of comments is somewhat not handy ;) Also it looks like there is some legacy code from the original module present.
