   Super excited for the next release as this will do exactly what we need once its working. Cheers.

   Just wanted to say I'm pretty excited to see where this goes -- trying to use it in conjunction with Advanced Custom Fields is causing some issues (as you mentioned in your upcoming feature list -- fixing the formatting bug and also when selecting on a repeater field -- it is not recognizing the selected items).

   What would be especially useful is to create a hook to pre-select categories based on things like post type (for example -- if using ACF, when uploading an image, they would default to a specific category based on a post type instead of having the user manually edit the image and select it).

   Thanks!

   One more feature request -- a filter on the Media Library tab in the modal pop-up box by Media Category would be fantastic!

   good idea, i don't know if i will manage to include this request but i will try :)

    Hey, you did a pretty nice job with this. The incompatibility with ACF image fields was giving me a lot of trouble, but now it's great.

    Anyway, I also have a feature request: try to make it possible to have media categories with the same name, but at different levels in the hierarchy.
    Something like:
    Category 1
    -Test
    Category 2
    -Test

    Right now you can add the media categories like that, but when you want to add images to them, they always get added to the first category, even if you choose the second one.

    I think it might be because of the way the function wp_set_object_terms is used. I noticed that the $terms parameter that is sent is an array with the names of the categories, instead of their IDs or slugs.

    Keep up the good work.

    Cheers!

    Yeah, so that problem is definitely because of how wp_set_object_terms is used. I've made changes on my local version of the plugin and I changed 3 lines of code for this:

    the original lines:
    435: array_push($terms, $term->name);
    638: array_push($terms, $bulkterm->name);
    643: array_push($terms, $ct->name);

    I changed them to:
    435: array_push($terms, intval($term->term_id));
    638: array_push($terms, intval($bulkterm->term_id));
    643: array_push($terms, intval($ct->term_id));

    It works now

    There's one more problem I've noticed: I have some other taxonomies in my website, and I created a media category library with the same name as one of the terms from another taxonomy, and what I noticed is that it doesn't create a new one, but it just uses the same term from the other taxonomy. So if at one point I want to change its name, it will change in my other taxonomy as well.
    Thanks for doing this :)

    Thanks for doing this, great additions and bug fixes!

    One problem exists after installing the 1.2.0b version: when browsing through the images to be used as highlighted image it seems the thumbnails in the main list are not shown (in the list with the 'Show' links on the right column).

    I get some JS errors, which could maybe cause this problem:

    document.getElementById("wpbody-content") is null
    [Afbreken op deze fout] 	
    
    ...etElementById('wpbody-content').insertBefore(xdiv, document.getElementById('scre...
    
    media-...gory=25 (regel 102)
    jQuery("#media-items").sortable is not a function
    [Afbreken op deze fout] 	
    
    stop: function(event, ui) {
    
    media-...gory=25 (regel 317)
    document.getElementById("wpbody-content") is null
    [Afbreken op deze fout] 	
    
    ...etElementById('wpbody-content').insertBefore(xdiv, document.getElementById('scre...
    
    media-...gory=25 (regel 102

    Few things:

    - When using UI to insert a galler do the columns actually work? Whatever I specify this value is ignored.

    - I'm pretty new to WordPress, but are you able to read any custom image sises into the drop-down thumbnail sector box?

    - The script inserted before the gallery is breaking my menus i.e. this code stops my menus working. If I remove it (does nothing for me anyway - presuming related to broken column functionaliuty) my menus work again:

    jQuery(document).ready(function($){
    $(".6_mcol").columnize({columns: 0, width: 0});
    // $(".6_mcol").makeacolumnlists({cols: 0, colWidth: 0, equalHeight: false, startN: 1});
    $(".6_mcol li").equalHeightColumns({children : false});
    });

    Thanks

    I think there is also a bug with application of Rel. For my test gallery it's defaulting to value 1 for first image, then no value for remaining values. It also seems to be ignoring any rel parameter I add to shortcode.

    Try to put "jQuery" instead "$" in javascript

    $(".6_mcol") begin jQuery(".6_mcol")

    i uploaded the media library for my first WP site and I love it, i have a new site and when i search for it from the Add Plugin I no longer can find it. When i go to my plug ins with my site http://www.casinogames.com/blog which has the original plug in and working great. I click on the visit site from the plugin admin and it sends me here https://sites.google.com/site/medialibarycategories/ and then I am stuck.

    In a nutshell, i like this Media Categories version 1.1.1 by Rick Mead and would like to upload it to another WP site I have.

    Sorry about the loss of this plugin. I moved jobs and have absolutely no time to commit to this plugin. It came down because a vulnerability was in the code. This was my first attempt at php and wordpress plugins. I know it is littered with bugs and glad for any help to keep it going.

    security issue:

    creativexperience if your updated version fixes this and you want to commit to the source code I have added you as a Committer.

    Thanks

    is it possible to check if there are items in the category before calling the media categories shortcode?

    Stop to use this plugin because there are a lot of bugs with native upload and Medialibrary. This plugin isn't compatible with WordPress 3.5.

    I advise you to use :

    When is this plugin compatible with the 3.5 version ?
    Installed the plugin on http://www.hotmobilecasino.co.uk and got an error message. Is it safe to have so many plugins for a site ?
