Basically in Joomla, images work by selecting a list of "Content images" and then adding the "image" tag in the content to specify where they should appear.

This extension takes automatically the images from the "Content images" list and place them into a module on the relevant articles page.

This would mean that the publisher will not have to add the image tags manually in the module and will have control where to place the images where ever on the page by just selecting an area for the module.

A new plugin is also available in order to supress content images and display them only inside the module if desired.

NEWS (added on March 17, 2008):

The Joomla content table has migrated to o new format starting with version J! 1.5.X. The migration system handles the translation and expansion of mosImage (removed in 1.5), updating mospagebreak to be 1.5 compatible, renames mosloadposition to loadposition and moscode translates into geshi (renamed to pre tags). No other text content transformations are applied. mosimage tags are expanded into what they would be on the old site, this means that if you are using a different site, the image tags will point to its live site location.

In other words the concept of mosImage actually disappeared and was replaced with the
usual <img> tag (<img src="yourimage.png" alt="Your Caption" />).

Through all this we decided to adapt our product to the new requirements and also implemented new features.

We decided to change the name of the module from "mosImage Factory" to "Content Image Factory".
