 * Hi,
 * I have created a plugin which is a file manager and allows users to browse directories
   on the server using the wordpress CMS.
 * What I need is that when a user browses to a particular image and views the details,
   they can see an ‘insert into post’ button. I have tried looking at the code for
   the existing insert into post but it does not seem to work anywhere else.
 * Is there any function which can call/create an insert into post button or has
   anybody solved this issue before?
 * All help greatly appreciate.
 * Thanks.

 * I have had the exact same problem. Except for me, the insert into post button
   existed for a little while, and then decided to quit showing up…
 * I’m using a custom theme that I built and the media-uploader.
 * Any new images that get uploaded to the server don’t have the button, but old
   images still have the button… It’s very strange, because nothing has changed…
 * Also, all new images that get uploaded don’t have any way to insert them into
   the field other than doing a manual copy/paste of the file path, which is rather
   annoying for my clients…
 * Any clues on how to force the Insert Into Post button back into the media uploader?
