[TYPO3-ttnews] Distribute images throughout article text

[Oliver Rowlands]

Hi Denyer,

A work around would be to allow images to be inserted into the text RTE 
field, this would allow your editors to place the images wherever they 
want. This can be achieved by adding the following TSconfig to the page 
  or sys-folder which contains your tt_news entries ('Edit page 
properties' > 'TSconfig'):

RTE.default {
   ## Enable the image button
   showButtons := addToList(image)
	
   ## Tags allowed outside p & div
   ## Adding img tag to the default list
   proc.allowTagsOutside := addToList(img)
	
   ## Do not remove img tags
   proc.entryHTMLparser_db.tags.img >
}
RTE.default.FE.showButtons < RTE.default.showButtons
RTE.default.FE.proc.allowTagsOutside < RTE.default.proc.allowTagsOutside
RTE.default.FE.proc.entryHTMLparser_db.tags.img >

Hope this helps,

Oliver
