Fetching images by tag via REST does not provide tagging data in the response

    I am trying to set up a REST API (similar to this: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/rest-api-to-get-media-by-taxonomy/) for fetching Media Library images tagged using attachment_tag.

    My code calls mla_query_list_table_items() and passes in s=flowers&mla_search_fields=terms plus current_page and per_page params as a POST form-data request. (I did have to add some is_array() checks in the mla_query_posts_search_filter)

    I get an array of data items that seem to match my tag taxonomy query, but there is no tagging taxonomy data included with the items (the mla_item_tags prop is coming back empty), so I do not know what OTHER tags might be attached to the images in my results set.

    Am I missing something? How can I get the tags for each item to be populated in my data?

    Thank you.

    Thanks for your question and for taking the time to find and adapt the earlier support topic.

    You wrote “(I did have to add some is_array() checks in the mla_query_posts_search_filter)“. If you can show me what you’ve done I may be able to update the plugin code in a future MLA version. You can contact me at my web site and send details via email.

    Taxonomy term assignments and custom field values are not returned in the mla_query_list_table_items() results. As the function name implies, the function is designed to support the Media/Assistant submenu table. These values are handled in another part of the code, the MLA_List_table::column default() function in class-mla-list-table.php. You could adapt the code in that function to post-process the query results and add the term assignments.

    I regret the news is not better, but I am marking this topic resolved because your question has been answered to the best of my ability. If you have any problems or further questions regarding the code adaptation I suggested, please post an update and I will give you what help I can. Thanks for your interest in the plugin.
