Noticing some weird behavior using ‘upload media’ as follows…

piklist('field', array(
    'type' => 'file'
    ,'field' => 'upload_media'
    ,'scope' => 'post_meta'
    ,'label' => __('Add \'In The News\' Images','products')
    ,'options' => array(
      'modal_title' => __('Add File(s)','products')
      ,'button' => __('Add','products')
    )
  ));

The images appear and can be managed in the admin, but when I try to display them I can only get five to populate using this code…

<?php if ( $post->post_type == 'products' && $post->post_status == 'publish' ) {
	$attachments = get_posts( array(
		'post_type' => 'attachment',
		'exclude'     => get_post_meta($post->ID, '_thumbnail_id', false )
	) );

	if ( $attachments ) {
		foreach ( $attachments as $attachment ) {
			$class = "post-attachment mime-" . sanitize_title( $attachment->post_mime_type );
			$thumbimg = wp_get_attachment_link( $attachment->ID, 'thumbnail-size', true );
			echo '<li style="display:inline" class="' . $class . ' data-design-thumbnail">' . $thumbimg . '</li>';
		}
		
	}
}
?>

Also, it seems that I can’t use the Add button in the upload field to attach existing images from the media library. I have to actually upload them. Is this normal?

So far, so good!

I can upload multiple Featured Images and attach images to my CPT.

How can I display the attached images in the admin? I see code for
displaying them in the fronted, but that won’t work in admin, right?

In addition to displaying the attached images, any way to delete them
individually like with Featured Images?

Featured Images work SO well, attached ones are jealous!

So I hope you’re saying I can use the same ‘upload field’ code for both
image attachments, as well as multiple featured images.

Citing code on:
https://piklist.com/2013/08/01/v0-8-0-beta-2-and-file-upload-field-with-a-surprise-inside/

Attaching images…

piklist(‘field’, array(
‘type’ => ‘file’
,’field’ => ‘upload_media’
,’scope’ => ‘post_meta’
,’label’ => ‘Add File(s)’
,’options’ => array(
‘title’ => ‘Add File(s)’
,’button’ => ‘Add’
)
));

Multiple Featured Images

piklist(‘field’, array(
‘type’ => ‘file’
,’field’ => ‘_thumbnail_id’ // changed for thumb
,’scope’ => ‘post_meta’
,’label’ => ‘Add File(s)’
,’options’ => array(
‘title’ => ‘Add File(s)’
,’button’ => ‘Add’
)
));

Perfect!

BTW, I recently struggled trying to fine tune the order of meta boxes on a CPT admin page. Is there anything Piklist can do to modify the order of meta boxes?
