Configuring the Image Assist Module
The Image Assist module gives users an easier way to place and upload images in their posts either before they start writing or mid-way throught the writing process.
Configuring Image Assist
- If they are not already enabled, enable both the Image and Image Assist modules under Administer » Site building » Modules.
- Configure the settings for the Image module. We have some instructions on how to do that.
- Click Administer » Site configuration » Image Assist.
- Under Access settings, choose whether the Image Assist option appears on all paths and textareas (where users can write extended text, including placing images) or on specific pages.
- Note: if you choose "on specific pages", you will need to click "Save configuration" before you see the options to choose which pages. See the section titled "Image Assist On Specific Pages" below.
- Under Image settings, choose the amount of thumbnails per page, the size, in pixels, of the thumbnailed images.
- Choose the maximum number of images to preview.
- Choose custom sizes of image derivatives.
- Click "Save configuration".
Image Assist On Specific Pages
If you selected "on specific pages", then you can set which pages the Image Assist pop-up is available. On each line, type in the start of the URL path where you wish it to be available. If you choose "on specific pages", generally the default, which is to appear on every URL starting with "node" (the setting would be "node/*" without quotes) and every URL starting with "comment" (i.e. "comment/*" without quotes) is fine. The "*" is a wildcard, meaning include every path after the text that appears before it.

Thanks for nice helpful
Thanks for nice helpful article. Really helps me a lot to configure my work. Looking for more useful blog from you.I switched the contributed image-handling modules. I installed and configured IMCE, and made sure I could see all of the previous images. Then I removed and uninstalled Image and Image Assist, and related settings/data like the image gallery vocabularies, any remaining image node path aliases, and some leftover image records from the files table in the database.

We probably overlooked the
We probably overlooked the fact that the filename is used as class name when this (trivial) feature was implemented. Of course, Image Assist should always use a default class name. I am even not able to imagine a use-case for a separate "custom" class, so we might drop that completely? Is there a use-case for those different image size preset classes at all?
