The plugin uses the standard WP ‘post_tag’. Possibly you could replace all instances of ‘post_tag’ with your own taxonomy, but I am not sure if that will cause other issues.

Hey! I just downloaded v 3.6 and installed on WordPress 3.5.1. I love the way you have everything set up. It’s -much- better than any of the other media library plugins I’ve found.

I’m just wondering—is there any way I can use tags from custom taxonomies I’ve already created? I’m creating a portfolio with three different sections (case studies, videos, and an image gallery) which are to be using the same set of tags. So it doesn’t really work for me to use the Shiba-specific Attachment Tags (which I imagine would otherwise provide me the functionality I need).

If there is any way for me to rig this up, that would be amazing.

Thanks for the bug report. I will look into it.

As for categories, there may be other plugins that support it, or feel free to modify the plugin to better suit your purposes.

I have been testing the media library plugin a bit more.
There’s one bug: if you try to delete a large number of pictures from the media library, your pluging provokes an “URL TOO LONG” error.
The same number of pics, deleted without your plugin get deleted without a problem.
easy to test: set media library to show 100 attachments, select them all, select bulk action “delete” and you got the error.
Second thing (it’s not an error, just annoying, and WP has exactly the same problem):
if I upload a few hundred pictures and select a tag before clicking on “insert into post” the tag is only applied to the last uploaded picture. I have to return to the media library, and select all uploaded pics, apply the tag and then, finally, all my attachments have the tag.
It would be nice to apply all the settings to all the selected attachments in one go. But I guess you just use the core procedure from WP there.

I tried shiba-media-library, and it does what it promised, it works great.
But it’s completely useless for me. My blogs are based on categories, not tags. My Table of Contents page is category based, people search and find articles based on categories, when they navigate around, they stay in the category of their interest, etc, etc. Tags are only used by flickr and technorati and are in reality completely useless when it comes to helping users find what they are looking for.
What I am looking for is
- a way to see only attachments that belong to one category in the media library
- a way to “bulk” add my existing pictures to a category
- a way to “bulk” add all pictures I upload to a post via Media Library to the same category as my post
I hoped to be able to do all that with shiba-media-library, but now it turns out that I can’t do anything of that at all unless I start using tags.
Nevertheless, I guess I am not the only one who has well structured blogs based on categories. So my question is: is it somehow possible to have your nice shiba-media-library with just one difference: not using tags but categories?

It looks like a problem with the server not interpreting the ‘%2F’ encoded url slashes.

Turn off Shiba Media Library, and test the attach images operation in the same way. Does it work?

If it does, go into the file shiba-mlib-permalink.php and comment out line 28 -
// add_filter( ‘attachment_link’, array($this,’attachment_link’), 10, 2);

Test to see if it works.

If not, then I can take a look on a test site on your server.

First off please note I am running wordpress on windows 2008.

So I am having a problem. When the Shiba Media Gallery plug in is activated. And I attempt to Attach Images to a page. WordPress throws a

404 – File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Awesome,

Why you didn’t add this plugin to wordpress.org plugins directory ?

I just tested the ‘gallery carousel without jetpack’ plugin on my test site and it seems to work fine with Shiba Media Library. Try disabling Shiba Media Library, and then just test the carousel out on a regular gallery to see if it works. There may be a conflict with something else.

As for displaying tags, that would depend on the front-end gallery that does the rendering, i.e. ‘gallery carousel without jetpack’. You would need to extract the tags and then add that into the rendering of the gallery.

Shiba Media Library just deals with the back-end stuff.
