Open media selector with a filter

Hello,

Please clarify your needs. What do you mean by “category selected”? And please give me more code and context.

Hello Nadia,

What I would want to achieve is that when I click on a button and the wp.media.editor.open function is called, a preselected category appears in the image selector of the popup that’s opened. This category would be sent as a parameter in the open function call.
Would this be possible?

Thanks

Hello @linsms,

You have to change code in plugin’s file js/eml-media-uploader.js

Replace whole media.view.AttachmentFilters.Taxonomy function (line 8) with following code (new version of the plugin will also work this way, so you can upgrade it in due time):

// Taxonomy AttachmentFilters
media.view.AttachmentFilters.Taxonomy = media.view.AttachmentFilters.extend({
	tagName:   'select',

	createFilters: function() {
		var filters = {};
		var that = this;

		_.each( that.options.termList || {}, function( term, key ) {
			var term_id = term['term_id'];
			var term_name = $("<div/>").html(term['term_name']).text();
			filters[ term_id ] = {
				text: term_name,
				priority: key+2
			};
			filters[term_id]['props'] = {};
			filters[term_id]['props'][that.options.taxonomy] = term_id;
		});

		filters.all = {
			text:  that.options.termListTitle,
			priority: 1
		};
		filters['all']['props'] = {};
		filters['all']['props'][that.options.taxonomy] = 0;

		this.filters = filters;
	},
});

Also add something like this in your js:

wp.media.editor.open( 'test_id' );
$('.attachment-media_category-filters').val(4).change();

You have to replace media_category with your taxonomy name, and 4 with ID of its term.

It’s not a perfect solution, but it works right now.

It works, thanks a lot!
