Hi guys, back in the usual fashion I’ve found the problem and got a solution. It’s a simple one really though my implementation most likely needs some actual polishing as it covers the whole admin and not just the area it needs (which may cause issues elsewhere?). I’m sure you know where it’ll need to live in Piklist!

Basically it’s just missing: wp_enqueue_media();

That’s responsible for filling out the vital part to the javascript object that the media uploader uses.

So as a temporary fix I’ve just put this in my functions.php:

function add_media_support(){ wp_enqueue_media(); }
add_action( 'admin_init', 'add_media_support' );

There are a couple of problems that spring up from there but nothing major. Firstly, it seems to make an extra empty media item each time I do it. If I leave it in, it’s not an issue; if I delete it, it’s not an issue; either way it’s a minor annoyance then a show stopper.

The second problem is that you can’t just do $setting[‘field_name’] and have your link as it only outputs the attachment ID. I’m sure this is something you’ll look to clear up though for anyone who might stumble across this scratching their head you can pull the information easily with the following.

<?php $image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $settings['field_name'], 'single-post-thumbnail' ); ?>
<img src="<?php echo $image[0]; ?>" alt="">

Obviously the above is for images only but can be similarly adapted for files to the best of my knowledge

Hope that all helps! 🙂

Hi,

The micro-fix I mentioned earlier does seem to break the built in functionality for featured images, and could be causing issues elsewhere. Not sure if that may be something that’s throwing a spanner in the works… I’ve tweaked my fix and it seems to have me on track for now. I’ll report back in if anything else crops up!

/** Piklist widget uploader requirement (fix) **/
	
	function add_media_support(){ 
		if(is_admin() && last_url_segment() == 'widgets.php'){
			wp_enqueue_media(); 
		}
	}
	add_action( 'admin_init', 'add_media_support' );

/*
**	Last URL Segment Function
*/
		
	function last_url_segment(){
		
		$uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
		$no_var = explode('?',$uri);
		$pieces = array_filter(explode("/", $no_var[0]));
		
		return end($pieces);
		
	}
