Shiba Media Library 3.7

by ShibaShake 11 Comments

The main addition to this release is an expansion on the media manager search interface-

  • Posts, pages, and custom post types can now be searched for and added into galleries from the media manager interface.
  • Image search is performed based on title as well as alt text.

Shiba Media Library was tested on WordPress 3.5 and 3.6.

For example, in the screen shot below, I just did a post search for ‘shiba media library’, selected the first twelve posts, and created a gallery from them.

To add a custom post type to the media manager gallery interface, simply add ‘shiba-mlib’ into the supports list during the register_post_type function call.

In addition to expanded post type searches, we also expanded image searches to include title and alt text. Previously, searches were only performed based on title.

Here is a tutorial on how I expanded the media manager interface.

2. Number of Posts Containing a Given Image

We can now show the number of posts containing a given image in the Media >> Library screen.

Currently, images included in galleries are *not* counted. We only count images that are directly inserted into the post content. Note that enabling this option will increase load time of the Media >> Library page.

3. New Options/Settings Page

The Galleries >> Options page has been given a face-lift. In addition, we can enable or disable all of the functions described above.

But if you again press the ‘Upload & Attach Images’ Only the images show up in the Media Manager Frame, The post and page are gone .

    I would LOVE this plugin if would be possible to create a dynamic Gallery based on Media-Tags. I know, upload the image with Tags and shows up in the galleries with those tags!

        most people like to install plugins from wordpress.org/plugins.

        you can check reviews and support. and it is more save.

        this plugin looks very interesting, why not upload it to wordpress.org??
