This site, my glorified blog, started out on Drupal 4. It wasn't until Drupal 8 that there was finally a single official way to handle putting media into nodes, with a media reference field and a media embed filter. Between then and now I used first the venerable img_assist and then the image_filter module, both of which fell by the wayside after D7. I replaced them both using php custom filters, but php in the database is now deprecated for security reasons.
img_assist
When we left our story last time, things were in decent shape. But then I noticed that some of my img_assist tags weren't displaying, and had to meddle with the custom img_assist filter some more. I made some progress, and I feel I might as well share.

More on displaying images on D7
I've been working on a patch for the img_assist.module that allows you to easily link uploaded images (using image.module, and upload.module, or compatible) into other node types. The img_assist.module is quite dandy and more or less indispensible in my book, but it is missing some very important features. img_assist.module only allows you to use certain predefined sizes (whatever's defined for images, that is smaller than img_assist.module's maximum size) and a custom size. It also only gives you two alignment options: float left, and float right.
