    Hi,
    first of all congratulation for this pluguin.
    It is very very complete. There are option for to do every thing. There are so many option and I don’t know if one week is enough for understand theme.
    I’d like to understand if I can do what I explain following, using the options your plugin provide.
    I have installed in my web the GeoDirectory plugin. With this plugin I can generate several Custom Post Type, and for each CPT there are several categories.
    MEDIA LIBRRY ASSISTANT recognize all the categories, so plugins are compatibles.
    I have understood the following: when I (like administrator) upload images from DASHBOARD=>MEDIA I can select categories, if I want include images in one or more categories. So it is ok. Great.
    Now, I’d like understand if is possible the following:
    When colaborator creates a post(using front end, for example…), and he uploads image, and he selects categorie/s for this post, does is possible automatically to assign to the image the categorie/s that user has selected in the post? So, images included into a post with “categorie X” will be marked automatically with “categorie X”.
    I hope you have understood me.
    So, my question is: does is possible to do that, using some options that provide your plugin?
    Thanks very much for your support, and one more again, congratulation.

    Thank you for your kind words regarding MLA and for the detailed description of your application. I found GeoDirectory – Directory Plugin, v1.6.8 by Stiofan and Paolo in the WordPress repository. I assume that is the plugin you mentioned.

    I installed it and created a Place. I can see the “Place Category” and “Place Tag” taxonomies – are those the “categories” you refer to?

    I am confident that your goal can be met with the hooks MLA provides. It will require a small custom plugin or some code added to your theme and a bit of PHP coding. To properly answer the question I need more details on your application.

    You wrote “collaborator creates a post(using front end, for example…), and he uploads image“. Uploads from the “front end” are handled differently from those in the admin screens. Can you tell me more about how the post is created and the front end uploader you are using?

    You wrote “images included into a post“. There are several ways to “include” an image in a post. Can you tell me more about the meaning of “included”?

    Finally, the order in which actions are done affects the complexity of the solution. For example, uploading/including an image before assigning the Place Category or editing a post and changing the category requires a different solution.

    It would be straightforward to implement a solution that updates the image(s) attached/uploaded to a post. In other words, images with a particular “parent” post. Would that be enough?

    Thanks for any additional information you can provide, and for your interest in the plugin.
