## Description

Allows users to assign categories (or other taxonomy terms) to items in their Media
Library with a clean and simplified, searchable version of the standard category
meta box.
 The « Search Categories » field allows you to narrow your search for 
a category as you type – this functionality is not native to WordPress but is instead
borrowed from Jason Corradino’s [Searchable Categories](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/searchable-categories/)
plugin. If you would like to enable this feature for your posts [download his plugin here](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/searchable-categories/)

Since WordPress 3.5 now supports attachment taxonomy, the work of adding a metabox
to the attachment editor is happening entirely inside of WordPress. This is great,
and we now have true metaboxes for taxonomy – they core team has also accepted my
patches which caused several headaches for this plugin. Media Categories 1.5 takes
advantage of the new Media Modal – with this plugin, you can now edit a images categories
directly from the modal screen. I’ve also fixed some long standing bugs with the
shortcode gallery functionality.

#### Updates

 * Since version 1.5 : Supports the new WordPress 3.5 by adding the metabox to the
   new Media Modal. Also fixed bugs in the gallery shorcode behavior. All while 
   still supporting 3.3.x – 3.4.x
 * Since version 1.4 : This plugin allows for **multiple metaboxes** to be created
   for any number of taxonomies.
 * Since version 1.3 : A **filter** has been added to allow developers to modify
   which taxonomy is being used. See ‘Other Notes’ > ‘Taxonomy Filter Usage’ for
   details
 * Since version 1.2 : This plugin extends the native **[gallery] shortcode** of
   WordPress so that it has a ‘category’ parameter. See the « Shortcode Usage » 
   under « Other Notes » for more details.

### Shortcode Usage

#### Normal Shortcode Usage

This plugin takes advantage of the existing `[gallery]` shortcode for showing images
by adding the `'category'` parameter.
 The value passed to the `'category'` parameter
can be either the `category` `slug`, or the `term_id`.

    ```
    [gallery category="my-category-slug"]
    OR
    [gallery category="12"]
    ```

Its important to note that when passing the `'category'` parameter, the `[gallery]`
shortcode will by default **ignore the current post
 and simply try to include all
images from the category
. The syntax above will retrieve any images that are assigned

to `'my-category-slug'` a.k.a term id `#12`, regardless of whether or not those 
images are attached to the current post.

To query within a post (even the current post), you’ll need to explicitly add the
post id as such…

    ```
    [gallery category="my-category-slug" id="43"]
    ```

This shortcode will retrieve any images attached to post `#43` that are categorized
as `'my-slug-category'`.

Aside from this behavior, the [gallery] shortcode should behave exactly as it does
by default with the built-in shortcode.
 The `id` parameter will behave as normal
when the `category` parameter is not invoked. For more information on using the 
built-in [gallery shortcode checkout the codex page](https://codex.wordpress.org/Gallery_Shortcode).

#### Other Taxonomy Shortcode Usage

If a developer implementing this plugin has made use of the `mc_taxonomy` filter
to modify which taxonomy
 this plugin uses for attachments, then the name of that
particular taxonomy will need to be used in place of `category` as the shortcode
parameter. For example, if you applied ‘Post Tags’ to your images then users should
use the `post_tag` parameter in the Gallery Shortcode.

    ```
    [gallery post_tag="my-tag-slug"]
    OR
    [gallery post_tag="12"]
    ```

_[Warning: nerdy developer stuff ahead]_

### Multiple Taxonomy Metaboxes *NEW!*

Since 1.4 this plugin allows developers to create metaboxes for any number of taxonomies.
While previous the previous version allowed
 developers to change the taxonomy being
used, it still only allowed a single taxonomy metabox to be generated. With 1.4,
that has changed.

All a developer needs to do, is create a new instance of the Media_Categories class
and pass their desired taxonomy as an argument.

    ```
    $my_custom_media_metabox = new Media_Categories('my_custom_taxonomy');
    ```

Thats it!, nothing else to it, the plugin will take care of the rest. You can create
as many instances as you like – just make sure to be careful
 when doing this in
conjunction with the `mc_taxonomy` filter – always check the current taxonomy.

Obviously this works with any taxonomy, including built-in taxonomies such as ‘post_tag’,‘
link_categories’,
 and yes, even ‘nav_menu’. I’ll leave it to you developers out
uses for that.

### Taxonomy Filter Usage: ‘mc_taxonomy’

**Note**: Since 1.4, this plugin allows developers to generate any number of metaboxes,
for any number of different taxonomies. Because of this,
 it is important that when
filtering the taxonomy, developers conditionally check the current taxonomy before
returning a different – otherwise the filter would override _all_ instances of the
plugin’s metaboxes with the same taxonomy. The examples below have been changes 
accordingly

Since version 1.3, the Media Categories plugin includes a filter allowing developers
to modify the taxonomy being used.
 Changing the taxonomy will automatically change
all the labels used around the metabox, and change the way the Gallery Shortcode
works so that it accommodates whatever taxonomy has been chosen.

The tag for this filter is `'mc_taxonomy'`, and usage could not be simpler.

    ```
    add_filter('mc_taxonomy', 'mc_filter_taxonomy');

    function mc_filter_taxonomy($taxonomy){

        if($taxonomy == 'category'){
            $taxonomy = 'post_tag';
        }

        return $taxonomy
    }
    ```

The above code will swap out all references to ‘category’ with appropriate (properly
pluralized) references to the ‘post_tag’ taxonomy.

It will also change the way the Gallery Shortcode works to use your chosen taxonomy.

#### Important (potential gotchas)

 * The `category` parameter for the Gallery Shortcode will be changed by using this
   filter, so that instead of `category` is will by `your_taxonomy`. In the case
   above with tags,
    you would write a shortcode as such. `[gallery post_tag="my-
   tag"]` OR `[gallery post_tag="43"]`.
 * If using a Custom Taxonomy with this plugin, be sure to assign values to the 
   labels for proper pluralization and context

### Related Plugin

Checkout this great plugin for Searchable Categories by Jason Corradino, whose javascript
I use in this plugin.
 I believe this very simple functionality should be a part
of the standard categories metabox in core. While I do not employ the plugin directly,
the javascript used for filtering/searching is in fact derived with consent, and
a few modifications from that plugin. To enable this feature on all your category
metaboxes, install the [Searchable Categories](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/searchable-categories/)
plugin.

 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

## FAQ

  Can this plugin work with a custom taxonomy, or a built-in taxonomy other than
Categories?

Yes, modify the taxonomy used by a metabox by making use of the `mc_taxonomy` filter.

They can also create additional metaboxes for other taxonomies by creating new instances
of the Media_Categories class.

See the ‘Multiple Taxonomy Metaboxes’ section (a.k.a ‘Other Notes’) for more details
on how
 this is done.

  Can any of this customization explained above be done without writing any code?

No. Currently there is no way to change the taxonomy, or create additional taxonomy
metaboxes
 in the Media Library without adding a little bit of PHP (preferably to
you theme).

Have no fear however, I do have intentions to add magical plugin options pages to
allow
 as much as possible to be done without development – sorry but I have no 
timeline for when this might happen.

  Is there any way to see all the attachment/media items associated to a category/
taxonomy term, the way we can with Posts?

In WordPress 3.5, you can now see any taxonomy enabled for attachments the same 
way you see Categories for Posts. For earlier versions, I’m afraid the answer is
no.

  I found a bug, or I would like to suggest/request a feature, can I submit it?

Of course, thats great! I love hearing how people want to use my plugins, and if
you look though my blog or
 this plugins support forum, you’ll see I have a tendency
of fulfilling people’s requests ( but no promises :p )

Bug reports are extremely helpful! Most of my plugins have been developed while 
at work, and publicly submitted bug reports help
 prove the point that Open Source
is the way to go. It amounts to free public quality assurance testing. So please
please please report any bugs to you see. Preferably on the WordPress plugin directory,
but if you feel so inclined you may report them on my blog http:://eddiemoya.com
