When I click the Add Media button on a Post/Page, I have the option to Add Media. After selecting media, I click Insert Into Post, and the images are inserted. However, there is another option, which is on the left sidebar. I can click Create Gallery. The image selecting process is the same, but when I click Create New Gallery, it goes to a new frame which allows me to edit the order of the images.
This second window is what I am after. I am calling the frame from a metabox, and I have gotten it successfully to allow me to grab single or multiple images and save the ID’s as a string, as well as insert thumbnails live into a preview box. I cannot find anything about calling the Gallery frame.
My current code is as follows:
jQuery('#fg_select').on('click', function(event){
event.preventDefault();
// If the media frame already exists, reopen it.
if ( file_frame ) {
file_frame.open();
return;
}
// Create the media frame.
file_frame = wp.media.frame = wp.media({
title: "Select Images For Gallery",
button: {text: "Select",},
library : { type : 'image'},
multiple: true // Set to true to allow multiple files to be selected
});
file_frame.on('open', function() {
var selection = file_frame.state().get('selection');
ids = jQuery('#fg_metadata').val().split(',');
ids.forEach(function(id) {
attachment = wp.media.attachment(id);
attachment.fetch();
selection.add( attachment ? [ attachment ] : [] );
});
});
file_frame.on('ready', function() {
// Here we can add a custom class to our media modal.
// .media-modal doesn't exists before the frame is
// completly initialised.
$( '.media-modal' ).addClass( 'no-sidebar' );
});
// When an image is selected, run a callback.
file_frame.on('select', function() {
var imageIDArray = [];
var imageHTML = '';
var metadataString = '';
images = file_frame.state().get('selection');
images.each(function(image) {
imageIDArray.push(image.attributes.id);
imageHTML += '<li><button>ï
</button><img id="'+image.attributes.id+'" src="'+image.attributes.url+'"></li>';
});
metadataString = imageIDArray.join(",");
if(metadataString){
jQuery("#fg_metadata").val(metadataString);
jQuery("#featuredgallerydiv ul").html(imageHTML);
jQuery('#fg_select').text('Edit Selection');
jQuery('#fg_removeall').addClass('visible');
}
});
// Finally, open the modal
file_frame.open();
});
Any ideas?
Figured out the answer to the question.
