[Plugin: Taxonomy Images BETA] possible to extend the UI to the post edit screen?

  • Is there any way to extend the ability to add an image to the actual post edit screen?

    My scenario is simple, a user adds a movie and has the tax choice of actors to add. If the actor does not exist, it’s easy enough to simply add the actor into the tax box, just like we do with cats.

    What if the actor does not exist?

    Well the user can add the name, but has to remember to go back and input the image, and description to the tax edit screen in order to associate the image to the tax.

    It would be much more user friendly if the extra fields such as image for the tax could be added while on the post edit screen.

    Is this feasible?

    LOVE The Plugin!
    Thanks so much

  • Yes, I think that this would be a great addition to the plugin. I will have to look into this for a future release! I can probably get things rolling this week or early next week. Thanks for you kind words and the awesome donation!!!

    Is there any updates to the ability to edit/add images to the taxonomy on the post edit UI screen?

    Not as of yet… still on my list of things to do! I started to update this plugin last night, but got side-tracked figuring out how to shorten the descriptions while viewing multiple terms in the administration panels…. took a bit more time than I expected!

    Unfortunately, I was unable to find an action that fires where I need -> This means that I will need to rewrite the functions that display the box, which may take a while to perfect. Will keep you posted.

    Thank you!

    Yes, I saw and actually implemented your modification on the trac for descriptions. It works perfectly and really cleaned up the way my screen looks. It was a very handy function to have. Fingers crossed that it makes it into the core someday.

    I ran into the same roadblock you’re talking about for adding the image to the box in the admin post panel. I dug through the codex pretty deep, but found nothing even possibly related. Obviously there are a lot of areas that wp never thought we would be messing with ??

    After some thought on this… is seems like this idea should be it’s own plugin. Locking this functionality into the Taxonomy Images doesn’t make sense IMO.
