Adding field using PHP, not "Edit Form" page

First of all, what I'm trying to accomplish is for a user to be able to insert a "Post Title", "Post Content" and then upload an image. My client would like to allow the user to resize images through some means. I'm going to use the same modal box WordPress uses in the backend for users to upload the image. However, this requires me to insert my own field that can't be added using the GF backend.

There don't seem to be any hooks allowing insertion of HTML/PHP in the form for the user to see and edit. One way I thought about doing it was using the hook for the submit button, adding in the HTML above the submit button and having my own custom submit button. This should work, right?

The form would look like:
- Post Title
- Post Content
- Empty text field (to be populated with photo URL after uploaded -- will be done using GF)
- Button to launch the modal box to upload photo and popular text field

The problem with that is that the button is restricted to the div that the submit button is in, so I can't position it to be near the text box.

Is there any other solution I can do for this? The button doesn't need to be special. Just has to have an ID that I can select using jQuery.

Thanks,

Would you mind posting the code for resizing an image? I need to make sure uploaded images are no larger than 620px wide.

Thank you! Also.. I may have missed this.. how do you get an uploaded post image to actually show up in the post? Does it happen automatically or do you need to manually add code to the post? I see the image in the Form Entries in the Admin, and the image is also in the gallery for that particular post.

I am having a server (I think) issue with post images in general so that might be what is causing the problem.

I am also looking for this answer, I need the submitted image which was uploaded via post image to actually also automatically post with the post content. How do I manipulate things to make that happen?

Carl,
In my case, I am using Builder Themes by iThemes. Images are stored in my Media. It shows up in the gallery when I open the post (edit post in wp-admin) that was submitted via the form but I have to manually insert the images. I would like the images to be able to automatically be inserted into the posts. Also curious how to give the user who is submitting the form the choice of inserting the image with a left, center and right alignment choice.

Thanks in advance!
Krry :)

Carl,
Yes Thesis has it's own custom field called "Post Image"

The other instructions worked for me (using the content template), but ideally I'd be able to get the image into Thesis' custom field, then it will show up with a thumbnail like all my other posts

Thanks, that is in fact what I was searching for. Works great.
