Sorry about the loss of this plugin. I moved jobs and have absolutely no time to commit to this plugin. It came down because a vulnerability was in the code. This was my first attempt at php and wordpress plugins. I know it is littered with bugs and glad for any help to keep it going.

security issue:

creativexperience if your updated version fixes this and you want to commit to the source code I have added you as a Committer.

Thanks

You would have to modify the code in /includes/shortcodes.php

Add the column term_order to wp_terms also. There was a column there at some point and got removed probably from lack of use. I have some code in the plugin that checks for this column and if it doesn’t exist I try to add it. Your mysql db might not allow this to run however. I will try to change how the category sorts are saved in the next release.

What version of WordPress?
What version of MLC?
Does your terms table have the term_order column?

Thanks

commented out in 1.1.1

1.1.1 is out. Apparently the column I am using for sorting the Media Categories is now not in the fresh install of wordpress. I have been updating my development environment which did not delete the column. so for a temporary fix I am checking for the column and then re-adding it if its not there. If I get some more time I will look into a better approach.

I was actually able to replicate the problem. For some reason term_order was removed from the terms table. so the queries are failing. For some reason this column survived in my development environment. In any case I will work on a fix.

Also what version did you upgrade from? In 1.0.6 there was a change in how categories were saved.

Did you save your permissions in the options page?

I will look into for the next release

i will remove this for the next version.
thanks!

sorry about that I corrected most of the problem code.

sorry I know this was a month ago. I don’t get to the forums much. And unfortunately I don’t know exactly what would cause it to not activate. But I can make some guesses:
– older php running on linux
– conflicting plugins
– older wordpress version

again these are just guesses.

I just saw this post omegastudio. I will have to compare what you promoted on pastebin to what I included on 1.1

Thanks

tab added to insert dialog the ability to filter by category, insert, sort, and insert shortcode
