I'm using the following piece of code to open a media frame when clicking a link with a data-attachment_id attribute. This attribute holds the id of an attachment that I want to select when the frame opens:
jQuery(document).ready(function($){ $( '#gallery_images_container' ).on( 'click', 'a.edit', function( event ) { var $el = $( this ); var selected = $( this ).attr( 'data-attachment_id' ); event.preventDefault(); // If the media frame already exists, reopen it. if ( gallery_items_frame ) { // Select the attachment when the frame opens gallery_items_frame.on( 'open', function() { var selection = gallery_items_frame.state().get( 'selection' ); if ( selected ) { selection.add( wp.media.attachment( selected ) ); } }); // Open the modal. gallery_items_frame.open(); return; } // Create the media frame. gallery_items_frame = wp.media.frames.gallery_items = wp.media({ // Set the title of the modal. title: $el.data( 'choose' ), button: { text: $el.data( 'update' ) }, states: [ new wp.media.controller.Library({ title: $el.data( 'choose' ), filterable: 'all', multiple: true }) ] }); // Select the attachment when the frame opens gallery_items_frame.on( 'open', function() { var selection = gallery_items_frame.state().get( 'selection' ); if ( selected ) { selection.add( wp.media.attachment( selected ) ); } }); // Open the modal. gallery_items_frame.open(); }); }); When I click the link for the first time, the frame opens and the pertinent attachment is selected. But, if I close the frame and click the link again, the frame opens again but no attachment is selected.
Any insights as to what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
