Back end library suggestion

[Intervik]

Today, the plug uses WP extra image sizes and show all users uploads in the dashboard WP default backend. Witch means our 3000 users with 1 image upload, produces 27 000 picures in original uploads/year/month folder. Our admins cant work with posts and images, finding, searching the true images in te Media library.

We got an asnwer on this in the wp forum and posting this here as suggestion.

The beahviour today, is still useful for smaller scale sites.

In your roadmap, It would be nice to have a checkbox for "intergrate front end uploads with WP core". Means keep an option of todays behaviour. If using Buddypress as internal network, project management setup, or some user roles will work smoothly with the front end design of yours, the admin and contributors can access the material, in posts, sliders or commercial purposes / products etc etc. from the dashboard media list.

The WP original media handling is a pain in the ass, more than 10 years old. Even a single site for a hair dresser cant understand how to get their images easy. To many clicks and menus.

We install a buddypress for the shop s 4 employ and they can interact front end as members with their site content much more easy.

As a blogger, I can feel that pain. I personally think media-management and writing-itself should be first priority for a project like WordPress.

I hope WordPress 3.5 will have better media management.

From our end, we will reduce number of images being generated in upcoming version. :-)

Ok. I Got this answer before on WP org. I closed the topic and moving it here to this topic. You said :

We have already added some post_meta for buddypress-media uploads. So technically you can "hide" them from media-library with few lines of codes.

Could you or someone please provide an example or a snippet to the functions.php as a fix while this is developing or whatever happends...

Thanks.

Number of lines of codes will be hardly 5-6. But it will take a day to figure them out. It involves lot of debugging and going through wordpress/buddypress source codes.

I am sorry to say we cannot do it right now.

@OC2PS Checked it... :-)

Though having drag-n-drop upload directly at cursor point in post-editor will be great (same like desktop applications do e.g. MS Word)

Mercury is one such editor which does that - http://jejacks0n.github.com/mercury/

Here on Github also, you can drag-n-drop images directly at cursor position ;-)

I am wondering why WordPress asks us to go through extra steps...

[OC2PS]

True. Let's see what they do in the next couple of releases :8ball:

Hey Guys,

This is a year old issue and a lot has changed since then.

We have added dashboard side album management for wordpress - https://rtcamp.com/rtmedia-pro-v1-9-wordpress-album-support/

Also bbpress has attachment support now. Both are this in rtMedia-PRO.

On the way, we did not find idea of managing all buddypress profile/group media from dashboard appealing. So we are skipping this.

Still, if anybody needs it, they can play with query var filters to see buddypress profile/group albums and media in backend.
