[Plugin: Custom Field Template] Media Button opens in same window…won't save anything?

I just realized that this only happens when I disable the ‘editor’ in my Custom Post Type. Anybody know a way around this?

Hi !

What i did to workaround the need to enable ‘editor’ is adding these lines at the end of function ‘custom_field_template_admin_scripts‘ in file ‘custom-filed-template.php‘ (the plugin core file) :

add_thickbox();
wp_enqueue_script('media-upload');
wp_enqueue_script('jquery-metadata','https://view.jquery.com/trunk/plugins/metadata/jquery.metadata.js',array('jquery'),false,true);

I’m having the same problem with using the media button without editor enabled. I tried leup’s fix but it’s not working for me, though enabling the editor does allow me to insert media into a TinyMCE area. I put those lines after the endif; – is that correct?

My function looks like this :

function custom_field_template_admin_scripts() {
  if ( !defined('WP_PLUGIN_DIR') )
    $plugin_dir = str_replace( ABSPATH, '', dirname(__FILE__) );
  else
    $plugin_dir = dirname( plugin_basename(__FILE__) );

  wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
  wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery-form' );
  wp_enqueue_script( 'date', '/' . PLUGINDIR . '/' . $plugin_dir . '/js/date.js', array('jquery') );
  wp_enqueue_script( 'bgiframe', '/' . PLUGINDIR . '/' . $plugin_dir . '/js/jquery.bgiframe.js', array('jquery') ) ;
  wp_enqueue_script( 'datePicker', '/' . PLUGINDIR . '/' . $plugin_dir . '/js/jquery.datePicker.js', array('jquery') );
  wp_enqueue_script( 'textarearesizer', '/' . PLUGINDIR . '/' . $plugin_dir . '/js/jquery.textarearesizer.js', array('jquery') );
  if( strstr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'wp-admin/post-new.php') || strstr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'wp-admin/post.php') || strstr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'wp-admin/page-new.php') || strstr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'wp-admin/page.php') || (isset($post) && $post->post_type=='page') ) :
    wp_enqueue_script( 'editor' );

//////////////////////////////
//PATCH leup
    add_thickbox();
    wp_enqueue_script('media-upload');
    wp_enqueue_script('jquery-metadata','https://view.jquery.com/trunk/plugins/metadata/jquery.metadata.js',array('jquery'),false,true);
//////////////////////////////

  endif;
}

(before or after the last endif is mostly the same. If you put the 3 lines before the last endif allow us to load these scripts only if we are on a edit page…)

With these lines, the media window pops up in a thickbox instead of opening in a new page.

Well, it works for me.

The media picker is showing up in the thickbox – it just doesn’t have the “insert into post” button unless you enable the editor, so attempting to insert anything into a custom field doesn’t work with editor disabled.

In fact, i figured that my code isn’t enough. I had to add a hook for styles in custom_field_template :

[...]
add_action( 'admin_print_styles', array(&$this, 'custom_field_template_admin_styles') );
[...]

which calls :

function custom_field_template_admin_styles() {
    if( strstr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'wp-admin/post-new.php') || strstr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'wp-admin/post.php') || strstr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'wp-admin/page-new.php') || strstr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'wp-admin/page.php') || (isset($post) && $post->post_type=='page') ) {
      wp_enqueue_style( 'thickbox' );
    }
  }

and, in custom_field_template_admin_scripts i replaced :

add_thickbox();

by

wp_enqueue_script( 'thickbox' );

i need a fix for this as well, but am not willing to edit the plugin’s core files .. anyone got a way the plugin can be altered via the functions.php file or some other workaround to get the desired effect?

for now i think im gonna just hide the editor via styles injected in the admin CSS:
