Limit media to current post attachments
-
Hello all.
I have a front-end form where a user can upload photos. The photos are added as attachments to the post generated by the submission of the front-end form.
The posts would then be pending admin approval. While reviewing the post I would like to get the attachments from said post and feed them into a slider plugin’s meta box in the back end.
Here’s the question:
Is there any way to limit the media files that show in the “media” window to those that have already been added to the post? When I open the media window, I’d like to only see the photos that have already been attached to the post.
I have found the code below:
//Chame the selector to fit your code jQuery('#manage-gallery-button').click(function(e) { e.preventDefault(); var frame = wp.media({ title : 'Pick the images for the gallery of this entry', frame: 'select', multiple : true, library : { type : 'image', //HERE IS THE MAGIC. Set your own post ID var uploadedTo : wp.media.view.settings.post.id }, button : { text : 'Insert' } }); frame.on('close',function() { // get selections and save to hidden input plus other AJAX stuff etc. var selection = frame.state().get('selection'); var gallery_ids = new Array(); var my_index = 0; selection.each(function(attachment) { gallery_ids[my_index] = attachment['id']; my_index++; }); var ids = gallery_ids.join(","); //Store ids in my hidden input jQuery('#gallery-ids').val(ids); Refresh_Gallery(ids); }); frame.on('open',function() { //Preselect attachements from my hidden input var selection = frame.state().get('selection'); ids = jQuery('#gallery-ids').val().split(','); ids.forEach(function(id) { attachment = wp.media.attachment(id); attachment.fetch(); selection.add( attachment ? [ attachment ] : [] ); }); }); frame.open(); });
And modified it to the selector of the media button in the slider’s meta box. The id for that box is
#wp-igsp-gallery-imgs
When I add the function I get a parse error on the second line of the code. Before and after modifying it I still get the same error.
Something might have changed in the core as this code is from a 2013 post
Thank you for your time.
