   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.

     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.

   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.

   I’m currently running WordPress version 3.3.2 with Shiba Media Library 3.3 installed.

   My site is designed to display ticket stubs by year. Each year has a page, and all images of stubs for that year are attached to the page. The page then displays the gallery for that page.

   I’ve recently decided that I want to allow for another form of navigation that allows users to view the images by opponent, as well.

   So what I’ve done is created one Gallery for each opponent, and attached a single Tag to each gallery (i.e. one gallery called “Auburn” with a single tag attached to it called “auburn”

   I then created a page that links to each of the galleries, so when I open the Auburn Gallery, I can see all tickets where Tech played Auburn.

   So it seems to be working OK, but I’ve found one problem…when I update the gallery, it changes the Menu Order property on my tickets on the pages that they are actually attached to. So let’s say that Auburn was the fifth game of the 1950 season…if I update the Auburn Gallery, and then go to the 1950 season, the menu order for that Auburn ticket will have changed, and it now displays out of order.

   To get around this I’ve simply been creating the Galleries first and then just tagging the images after…this seems to keep the problem from occurring. However, I’d like to go back and add notes, descriptions, etc. to the galleries after the fact without having to worry about the images being displayed out of order on their base page.

   Is there something that I can do to get around this? Please feel free to e-mail me at the address above.

   Thanks!
   Brad

     OK, so I did a bit more reading and found where you specified that only one ID can be stored.

     Is there a way that I can modify the code to not update the Order ID in the database?

     I think I’m going to update all of my image ID’s with an intelligent Order ID (i.e. the date of the game). Then no matter what gallery it displays in it will be in the correct order.

       Hello Brad,

       The easiest way to change ordering attributes is to do it on the gallery shortcode itself – using the orderby attribute.

       If you are using Shiba Gallery on the frontend then you can use orderby=”shiba_menu_order” to get multiple orderings.

       If you want to change the ordering code, it is in shiba-mlib-add.php.

     • Brad says

       January 31, 2013 at 10:32 am

       I’m not sure what the difference is between orderby=”shiba_menu_order” and orderby=”menu_order”

       Does it do something different?

     • ShibaShake says

       January 31, 2013 at 12:44 pm

       The difference is described here-
       http://shibashake.com/wordpress-theme/shiba-media-library-3-3

       Orderby can also be used with post_date, titles, etc-

       So I’ve found the code where you’re updating the menu_order in the mySQL database:

       function update_media_menu_order($media_items) {
       global $wpdb;
       $i = 1;
       foreach ($media_items as $item) {
       $query = $wpdb->prepare(“UPDATE $wpdb->posts SET menu_order = %d WHERE ID = %d”, $i, $item);
       $wpdb->query($query);
       $i++;
       }
       }

       What I’d like to do is comment this out to preserve the original menu order of my images. If I do this, will the shiba_menu_order still be updated by dragging and dropping the images in the gallery edit window?

       i.e. will it break anything else?

     • ShibaShake says

       February 1, 2013 at 12:58 pm

       shiba_menu_order is stored differently so it shouldn’t affect that. I don’t think it will break anything else, but it is not something I have tested for, so I cannot say for sure.

       I would try it out on a test site first, and see how it goes.

   First of all, thank you for this great plugin…it is exactly what I have been looking for. I do have few questions (apologies if you already answered these, but I looked through the previous comments and could not find an answer):

   1. Since installing the media library plugin, my images are no longer inserted into the post code with a title tag. Do you know how to include this?

   2. I want to make a gallery of galleries with your gallery plugin, but I can not figure out how to populate it. Any explanation is appreciated!

   Thank you!

     my images are no longer inserted into the post code with a title tag. Do you know how to include this?

     Hmmm, not sure what you mean here. Do you mean when you click on the Add Media button in the Edit Post screen and then insert an image, something is missing from the inserted html? If you could give me a concrete example, e.g. this html was generated before, and this other html was generated after that would be helpful.

     I want to make a gallery of galleries with your gallery plugin

     Create each gallery as a Gallery object. Tag each gallery object you want to include with the same tag. Then just create a parent gallery object with that same tag, and click on “Only Galleries” in the Edit Gallery screen. The radio button for “Only Galleries” is right under the title of the gallery.

     If you are using Shiba Gallery Plugin you can also include the relevant gallery ids in the ids list or include the relevant gallery category. E.g.

     [gallery ids="1,2,3,4"]
     
     [gallery category="1" post_type="gallery"]

       Hello Kate,

       This appears to be a WordPress 3.5 change and is not plugin related.

   Hello,

   Nice plugin, however it took me 20 min to find the download link on the page. The idea of the image with a link in it is very very weird.

   I suggest adding an attachment tag filter to the media library interface. That would be very useful as it is with the Media Tags plugin.

     You can do a tag search by using the search box at the very top of the media screen. There is a drop-down menu to the right of it that allows you to search based on title or tags.

       Sorry, but it is not clear to me how the tag search works. I added tags to some images, but when I select “tag” from the drop down menu, add a search term in the text field and click the “search media” button, I see all images. What goes wrong here?

       There is also a “filter” button next to the text field, but that doesn’t work either. Any help is much appreciated.

     • ShibaShake says

       December 6, 2014 at 1:12 pm

       In the text box next to the “Search Media” button, type in the search term. If you want to search based on tags then go to the drop down menu and select “tag” then click on “Search Media”.

       I just tested it on my site and it seems to be working fine.

   Hi,

   I have installed and activated Shiba Media Library plugin 3.4.5 on a WP 3.4.2, and no detach option can be found in the Media Library, either in the dropdown menu of Bulk Actions or elsewhere. What might be wrong? (A couple of other gallery plugins sit in the Plugins directory, but none are activated.)

   Thank you.

     When you go the the Media >> Library screen, is there a section up top labelled Shiba Media Library? If so, the drop down menu in that top section should have the detach options.

     Otherwise, I would switch to a default theme, turn on debugging options, and see what errors come up.

       My mistake, I did not realize there is another “Bulk action” drop down menu at the top.

       Thanks a lot for pointing this out. Detachment works great.

       Unfortunately, now it is attachment that stopped working, because the URL length exceeds the server’s limit.

       Somehow the URLs setting up the attachment grew huge (almost 10,000 character long) after activating the plugin, as they seem to contain all current attachments as variables, for some reason.

       Is this normal behavior and the server limit is at fault?

     • ShibaShake says

       December 5, 2012 at 10:10 pm

       No, that should not happen.

       I just tested things on my test server and could not replicate what you describe.

       Some things to try on a *test site* –
       1. Turn off the plugin and then try attaching the same image using the standard “Attach” link.
       2. Turn on the plugin and then try attaching an image using the “Attach” link.

       I would try this on a default theme with no other plugin activated.

       Hi,

       The same issue started happening in my media library as well after using the plugin for over a year.
       The problem isn’t only attaching a picture to a post which gives this error: “414 Request-URI Too Large
       The requested URL’s length exceeds the capacity limit for this server.”
       But also anything I try to do in this screen, searching, editing information etc.
       Disabling and enabling the plugin didn’t help but interestingly this error is user specific – I get the error with the admin user but not with a different user.
       Please help! I don’t want to change plugin because your’s is great!

       Thanks,
       Mashav

       I am currently working on updating Shiba Gallery for HTML5 and WordPress 3.6. I plan to update Shiba Media Library next, but all this will take some time.

       My guess is that the error occurs when too many items are included in the bulk operation. Once it occurs though, some state may be kept in the browser cache/state that causes it to happen again. Try –
       1. Closing the window and opening another.
       2. Logging out and then logging in as the same user.

       Let me know what happens. The more details the better, as that will help with fixing the issue. Thanks.

       Hi and thanks for the answer.
       So the problem now is larger than I initially thought:
       * Same error occurs when I try to attach even only one image to a post (looks like it’s attempting to attach many other images thought by the url…)
       * With a new user I created it’s messed up as well the same way.
       * Updating and editing information in the “media” page isn’t updating after leaving page.
       * logging in and out didn’t help
       * new window or even a window in a different browser didn’t help
       * trying to use the plugin on a new testing site failed as well
       * deleting it altogether and reinstalling – didn’t help
       * installing an older version (3.4.7) didn’t help

       This plugin was working perfectly until now and I already have all the galleries etc working with it so it’s gonna be super difficult to loose this plugin :/

       I’m pasting the line of the long url it’s trying to use:
       htp://staging.eatingcookingfooding.com/wp-admin/upload.php?s=&_wpnonce=de5dc24c04&_wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2Fupload.php&action=-1&m=0&paged=1&attachments%5B11665%5D%5Bpost_excerpt%5D=A+group+pic+-+thank+you+all+for+coming%21%21+&attachments%5B11665%5D%5Burl%5D=http%3A%2F%2Fstaging.eatingcookingfooding.com%2Fpublic_html%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2013%2F08%2FDSC_4681.jpg&amp …

       August 30, 2013 at 3:31 pm

       Ok, I am a bit confused. Can you run me through exactly what you are trying to do and in what screen? Step by step?

       In terms of attaching images to a gallery, the best way to do that now, is to edit the gallery, click on the “Upload or Attach Images” button, and select images using the popup.

       When did the problem start occurring? Is this on WP 3.6?

     • Mashav says

       August 31, 2013 at 12:55 am

       Hi
       so yes, the problem occurs with your 3.6 version and the 3.6 WP version. It’s not the gallery what I’m trying to do is this:
       1. goto media -> library
       2. select a picture and click on “attach” (attach to a post on the media table).
       3. select a post to attach to -> select
       4. in result I get the “too long url” error page.
       same thing happens when I try to attach a bulk of pictures to a post using the bulk actions drop down, or even when I try to use the media search box.
       The problem started only about two weeks ago and before it was doing just fine. Deactivating the plugin brings everything back to working as usual with no errors – but I really want to keep using your great plugin.

       hope you can help. You can also contact me throw email to make it easier.

     Gallery is a custom post type, so one possibility is to copy the template you want into single-gallery.php. This may also be theme dependent.

    I’m having an issue on a client site. The tags column is no longer showing in the media library. The capability of adding/setting tags is there, but I can’t see the tags in the library display.

    I am using codepress admin columns and I added some additional columns to the display; that worked in conjunction with yours a few days ago but (since 3.4.1 upgrade?) I can’t get the tags to show any more. I tried deactivating and reactivating shiba media library, but that did not help.

    Any ideas?

      I figured out the answer. It was my own fault, nothing wrong with the plugin. I had neglected to add up all my percentages when I added columns to the display, and the tags column was just getting pushed off the screen because I had well over 100% allocated. Duh. Sorry to bother you.
