WordPress Media UpLoader

The other day a friend of mine asked me if there was a place in the WP Admin where he could upload his images and get the url “easily“. My first response was just type in wp-admin/media-upload.php and there you go!!!

Apparently I under estimated his Laziness and the Laziness of the blogging community as a whole. (in a very sarcastic way) So, here is what I did… ↓

WP_Media_UpLoader.pngI pulled the media-upload.php file into the WP Admin through a link in “Media” menu. I didn’t put in any bells or whistles to WOW you, Simplicity is key!!! Oh, and I put in a button so you can open a PopUp of the Uploader.

This has been taken down because 03.03.09 was a long time ago !! :)

    This is handy, I'm actually trying to utilize media library to upload/insert image(s) as part of my plugin's option. The popup is useful since you can upload your image right from the settings page and get the URL. Thickbox is even better – that's how it's being done in WP 2.8 – via thickbox. The problem I have – I can't figure out how to insert the URL of the image directly into my option field. The media library is designed to insert image into a post, but not into a custom field. Any ideas on how this could be implemented?

    Thanks!

      I've been holding off on any real development of this. I've been hearing talk of 2.9 being focused on the Media Library, but I've been to lazy to really look into it. I'm sure there are way to hack into the MediaUploader, and use filters and actions to control things but I'm shot or time.

      I know they just posted the latest things on what there going to focus on over @ http://wordpress.org/development/

      take it easy
