      Hi again!

      Sorry, I seem to keep running into unfathomable issues trying to set up a couple of grouped fields.

      I’m getting weird display of additional empty field boxes on the back end, as per my attached screen shot. Every time I “Update” or refresh the page, I get a bunch more.

      Additionally, the images and respective captions are not being kept together, the images are being shown in a group.

      (And the image thumbnail display is weird, but I can live with that… perhaps it’s something else worth investigating though.)

      Here’s my code:

      piklist('field', array(
	'type' => 'group'
	,'field' => 'nutrition_facts_boxes'
	,'label' => __('Nutrition Facts')
	,'description' => __('Upload the Nutrition Facts image.')
	,'add_more' => true
	,'fields' => array(
							array(
								'type' => 'file'
								,'field' => 'nutrition_facts'
								,'label' => __('Nutrition Facts','piklist')
								,'options' => array(
								  'basic' => true
								)
							)

							,array(
								'type' => 'text'
								,'field' => 'nutrition_facts_caption'
								,'columns' => 12
								,'label' => __('Caption - only if more than one box','piklist')
							)
					)
));

      My field names are not duplicated anywhere else, and I’ve looked and looked but can’t find anything wrong with the code. Thanks for any suggestions you can provide!

      Adam

      Hi again! Here’s some late-breaking news on this developing story…

      I’ve realized that I don’t need to group a “Caption” field with my file upload field after all; I can just use the built-in caption functionality for WP uploads. But before I dismantle my group and delete my “nutrition_facts_caption” text field, I guess it would be good to know why the error described is happening.

      But also…

      Now the thumbnail display issues, as seen in my attached graphic, become a little more pertinent, I think. I’m assuming I should be able to click that thumbnail and get to the standard page where I set the title, caption, etc. of my uploaded file. But I can’t seem to do that.

      I can track it down by file name over in the Uploads area, but that seems awfully cumbersome if there’s a possible easier way to just click through from the thumbnail while I’m editing.

      Let me know… thanks!

      Just pushed v.0.9.4.24 to WordPress.org. This upgrade should fix your image issues.

      Clicking on the image should bring you back to the upgrade screen.

      The thumbnail’s now correctly shown, however clicking it doesn’t do anything for me.

      Additionally, I’m getting nested “add more” icons/sections for some reason? (See 2nd screen shot attached).

      If I click the outer one, I get additional blank areas (See 1st screen shot.)

      Here’s the entirety of my code for the uploader:

      piklist('field', array(
	'type' => 'file'
	,'field' => 'nutrition_facts'
	,'add_more' => true
	,'label' => __('Nutrition Facts','piklist')
	,'options' => array(
	  'basic' => true
	)
));

      Thanks for looking into this.

      There seems to be a bug with this type of field config and the BASIC uploader. If you remove the ‘basic’ it should work:

      ,'options' => array(
  'basic' => true
)

      That’s definitely better. I notice that clicking the image now takes me to the Add Media page, but that’s not all that helpful, as I still have to search for the image – it would be great if it took me right to the “Edit Media” page for that particular image, where I can add the caption, etc. But, something for the future I guess!

      This is the way the default WordPress media uploader works. Go to add new Post, add a featured image and then click on it again. Should be the same UX.

      The default WordPress media uploader will highlight the featured image where as the file upload field only brings up a media uploader with nothing selected. Is there any way for it to highlight the image that was clicked like it does with featured images?

      @Kenny– Welcome to the Piklist community!

      I’m not perfectly clear on what you’re asking. Can you post a screenshot?
