Map Image Att. Tags to attached Post Tags

Thanks for your question. I want to make sure I understand what you want to do.

You wrote “ the post which incorporated the attached images” and “images … attached to the post.” I understand this to mean only the images “attached” to the post, not the Featured Image or images inserted in the body of the post (unless they are also attached); is that right?

Do you want to assign the Post Tags for all of the posts with attached images in your site or only some of the posts that have attached images? If only some, how will you decide which posts to update?

You wrote “only map unique keywords“. I understand this to mean that duplicate keyword values should be merged and each keyword assigned only once; is that right?

The current MLA version does not have any function to do this kind of update, but it is similar to a tool I am developing for this earlier topic:

How to add a number to the title of images inserted in same post?

If you would be able to use an example plugin that performs this task I can look into it. Let me know your answers to the above questions and any other details you can provide. Thanks for your interest in the plugin.

Gosh, this is mostly crazy, I am overwhelmed by your work and passion. It is inspiring and a role model – I am thankful to learn.

1. Yes, only the images attached to the post
2. All att. tags of the attached images to the post tags
3. Yes, no duplicates in the tags

foreach (post)
if (post has attachment) then
foreach (attached image)
populate array with new & unique image att. tags
end foreach
write array with new & unique tags into post tag
end if
end foreach

The MLA Insert Fixit “Example” is going in exactly this direction. But I can’t dare to fiddle in your code. mh. I think another artist is waiting for a website, it may solve my karma.

Ps. You may find something good in “library genesis”.

Thanks for your kind words and for your answers. I have updated the example plugin, mla-insert-fixit.php with a new tool that assigns attachment terms to their parent post/page. It is too large to post here, but if you give me your contact information I can send a copy by email. I will post a summary here when it’s complete and tested.

Do not post your e-mail address in the forum; personal details in a public forum violates WordPress guidelines. I look forward to hearing from you.

I have released an MLA Development Version dated 20160819 that contains the updated mla-insert-fixit.php example plugin. To get the Development Version, follow the instructions in this earlier topic:

Shortcode not working in (special) widget

After you install the Development Version you can easily install the example plugin. Navigate to the Settings/Media library Assistant Documentation tab and click the “Example Plugins” button. You will see a new submenu that lists all the example plugins and give you a “one-click” action for installing them. I hope this will make future installations of the example plugins more convenient for all MLA users.

You are looking for “MLA Insert Fixit” plugin. Find that plugin and hover over the title in the left-most column. Click the “Install” rollover action, then go to the Plugins/Installed Plugins submenu and activate it.

Once that’s done, navigate to the Tools/Insert Fixit screen and scroll down to the “Copy values between Parent Post/Page and Media Library (attached) items” section, where you will find the “Item Terms to Parent” tool. You can click the tool to apply it to all of your posts/pages, or you can use the “First Post/Page ID” and “Last Post/Page ID” text boxes at the top of the screen to test it out on one or a few of your posts.

It would be great if you can install the Development Version and the MLA Insert Fixit plugin and let me know how they work for you.

I have released MLA version 2.33, which contains the updated MLA Insert Fixit example plugin.

I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you have any problems or further questions regarding the updated example plugin or the new release. Thanks for your interest in MLA.
