register_taxonomy_for_object_type('category', 'attachment');
}
Adds a “Category” input field to the media manager and attachments editor. I’d like to know if its possible to alter this function to capture a “link destination” URL instead. The URL would be executed when the image is clicked.
Also need to know how to retrieve the value for this new field.
UPDATE: Thanks to Thomas below, here is my final solution…
I use a very rough plugin to add information about the artist and a URL to media files. It needs some tweaking (and I need the time), but it works and may demonstrate how add the extra fields and how to use them in your theme:
