Remove Link from Image Attach in Drupal

Tags: 

If you are using the Image Attach module in Drupal, you may not always want to have the image linked. Drupal links the image automatically to its own image node but sometimes you don't want that.

You can add an overide to your theme's template.php file. Note where it says 'your_theme' on line one, replace that with the name if your actual theme. You should also clear your Drupal cache after adding this code.

  1. function your_theme_image_attach_body($node, $iid) {
  2.   $img_size = variable_get('image_attach_size_body_'. $node->type, IMAGE_THUMBNAIL);
  3.  
  4.   if ($img_size != IMAGE_ATTACH_HIDDEN) {
  5.     drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('module', 'image_attach') .'/image_attach.css');
  6.  
  7.     $image = node_load($iid);
  8.     if (!node_access('view', $image)) {
  9.       // If the image is restricted, don't show it as an attachment.
  10.       return NULL;
  11.     }
  12.     $class = 'image-attach-body' . ($image->status ? '' : ' image-unpublished');
  13.     $info = image_get_info(file_create_path($image->images[$img_size]));
  14.  
  15.     $output = '
  16. </p><div class="' . $class . '">';
  17.     $output .= image_display($image, $img_size);
  18.     $output .= '</div><p>'."\n";
  19.  
  20.     return $output;
  21.   }
  22. }
