    Hello there,

    I have found this plugin really usefull. I am really happy how it is working. But I experimented some mistakes when MLA has to work with other plugin I use ( SimpleFields ).

    I want to have my images order by categories, that is easy and works fine. Then I want to make an article and I proceed to upload some images. I have to cases:

    – I use the worpress texteditor and the fileupload button. Everything looks and works as I think it must be. I have the dropdowns for categories and so on. See the image in the link

    WordPress fileupload

    – But when I use the SimpleFields fileupload button, some stuffs are missing in the mediatec library. The searching is displayed but the dropdowns and the leftside column are missing. See the image in the link.

    SimpleField fileupload

    The problem seems to be in the class “media-toolbar” that is not built in the normal way.

    I would really appreciate some help about this problem. I need be able to use the categories in this field as well. It would make the task for the editors easier because they handle hight number of images already.

    Thanks in advance, greetings….

    Thank you for your kind words and for your interest in the plugin.

    I do not have any experience with the SimpleFields plugin, but I will have a look at it and I will try to reproduce your issue on my test system.

    The new (version 3.5) WordPress Media Manager is a complex JavaScript application, and JavaScript is not one of my strengths. I will investigate the issue you have raised and see if I can do something to resolve it, but I do not know how long it will take. I will update this topic when I have progress to report.

    Thank you for your patience and your understanding.

    I have downloaded Simple Fields Version 1.4.2, By P?r Thernstr?m to my test system, set up a “File” custom field and duplicated the issue you raised in your post. In the next day or so I will have time to investigate the issue and let you know my findings. Thanks again for your patience.

    I’ve done some testing and have an answer, but I regret the news is not good.

    I disabled the Media Library Assistant plugin and discovered that the “filter dropdown” fields do not appear with the default WordPress media uploader either. I looked through the Simple Fields source code and discovered this comment:

    // TODO: how do i get the filter dropdown?? i think i've tried everything!

    It looks like this is an issue with Simple Fields and has nothing to do with MLA. You will have to work with the Simple Fields author to get a resolution for this problem. It looks like the new Media Uploader is giving many of us some trouble.

    Thanks again for your interest in the Media Library Assistant. I’m going to mark this issue resolved, but please let me know if you have any other problems or questions.

    Hello David,

    I am really thanked for your quick reply. I am already trying to contact the author from Simplefields to see if the mistakes can be solved.

    Other doubt or question I have about your plugin I will write you.

    I have released MLA v1.90, which changes the way controls are added to the Media Manager Modal Window toolbar. In my testing, this resolves the issue you reported with Simple Fields.

    Please update this topic if you are still having trouble after upgrading to the new version. Thanks for bringing this issue to my attention and for you patience while I resolved it.
