One inline image and one ink to the comments

[Teemule]

To each note (comments) user should be able to attach (upload) one image that is shown as an image in the end of the note.

To each note (comment) user should be able to add one link. The fields should be: URL: and "Title of the link". The link is displayed in the end of the note so that the title text is an active link pointing to the URL.

It's actually possible to post links and images in Wordpress comments using HTML, so there is no need for additional fields.

images and links with HTML are good. I would still include the fields in there for users who do not know how to write <image source= / <a href= -tags.

Not sure if it's a good idea to add fields which aren't really necessary. I'd prefer keep it simple. An image upload field and a link field means four form elements more (image path text field, image upload button, link title field, link URL field). That means twice as much elements as there are currently for a registered user.

Maybe instructions for using HTML markup for images and links are enough?

For the instructions, how about a "copy/paste" code template with a 'put-your-url-here' section. Even making the code appear gray-ed out when pasted in the comment area would put a nice touch: deemphasize that non-discussion-related information.

Hi. I'm trying to setup fle4 for an university course. We'd like the users being able to upload stuff to their media center and add them directly to their comments. As well as creating links in their answers and so on. There are a lot of wordpress plugins in the wild that allow you to do this exactly but fle4 doesn't use the wordpress comment box but adds a completely new one.

So my question is why you don't just extend the wordpress comment field with the existing api (i.e. as explained here: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2012/05/08/adding-custom-fields-in-wordpress-comment-form/ ) instead of creating a new one. This shouldn't add to much complexity and still allow us to modify the comment field with plugins as we need to.
