Workaround requires Firebug plugin and little bit effort. 0. Edit article, turn on firebug and change tab to NET (all) 1. Insert image by standard steps (icon in toolbar) 2. Wait until all AJAX call finish. The most important is https://community.jboss.org/dwr/call/plaincall/ImagePicker.getImageDetailsByID.dwr 3. Click on ImagePicker.getImageDetailsByID.dwr POST request and change tab to Response. At the end of repsonse is information about inserted image. Something like: dwr.engine._remoteHandleCallback('0','0', {height:-1,html:"<img src=\"http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/6399/picture-resized.png\" alt=\"picture-resized.png\" width=\"620\" class=\"jive-image-thumbnail jive-image\" onclick=\"myJiveImage.start(this, \'http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/6399/picture-resized.png\');return false;\"/>",image:s0,name:"picture-resized.png",thumbnail:false,width:620} ); 4. Change editor to HTML 5. Insert image to proper place (usually between P tags <p> </p>). Image tag is: <img alt="picture-resized.png" class="jive-image-thumbnail jive-image" src="http://community.jboss.org/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/6399/picture-resized.png" width="620" __jive_id="6399" /> You need to change attributes: alt - whatever you want because it's standard image description src - take it from step 3 __jive_id - take it from step 3 6. Change editor back to Full Editor and wait till picture is loaded in WYSIWYG editor
