Add check if credit field is left empty

Do you mean in the post editor (when inserting an image) or in the media library?

Yes, in the post editor while inserting an image inside a blog post.

Can you please let me know if this can be done? Just like a reminder that the image is missing credits to make the editor aware.

Or let me know if there is something that I can handle at my end like a hook maybe?

I’m not sure if there is a way to easily notify the user from within the media/shortcode code. Also, as currently written, it is possible to intentionally leave the credit field blank. It would probably be easier to add a filter hook to the media library screens to allow for enforcing entering a freetext credit. Would that help?

What would you suggest to be the best way? Basically anything that would help draw attention if the field is empty, just to be sure that it was done intentionally (No credits required).

Let me know if you have any work arounds.

That’s the Media API, and it’s kinda scary, TBH. You could probably hook into the click event for the Insert button with a bit of jQuery, though, and then just check if the Credit field is empty. I don’t think there is anything happening on the PHP side, so I can’t provide a regular filter or action hook.

Sure, will try with jQuery.I’m finding it difficult to hook into the click event for the insert button, but that seems to be the only way to go about it!

Thanks for getting back, truly appreciate it ??

Have a look at https://github.com/mundschenk-at/media-credit/blob/master/admin/js/media-credit-attachment-details.js to see how I hook into the prototypes of the media modals. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of documentation for the Media API.

@karinamendonca29, have you been able to resolve this issue?

Hey Peter,

Unfortunately no, the solution seemed a bit too complicated and my schedule didn’t allow for me to work on it. So its on the back burner for now.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions!

OK, then I’ll close the topic for now. If you do take up the project again and need help, you can open it up again or start a new thread if the questions go into another direction.
