WordPress 3.5 – Image / Gallery Media uploader to custom plugin / meta box (easy)

With this simple and relative short code you can add the WordPress 3.5 Media Uploader to your own plugins. It will return single or multiple images and returns them in a comma seperated list.

If you want to return other attributes then  monitor the attributes using the console.

jQuery(document).ready(function(jQuery){

jQuery('#image_button').click(function(e) {
 e.preventDefault();
 frame = wp.media({
 title : 'Add your title here',
 frame: 'post',
 multiple : true, // set to false if you want only one image
 library : { type : 'image'},
 button : { text : 'Add Image' },
 });
 frame.on('close',function(data) {
 var imageArray = [];
 images = frame.state().get('selection');
 images.each(function(image) {
imageArray.push(image.attributes.url); // want other attributes? Check the available ones with console.log(image.attributes);
 });

 jQuery("#imageurls").val(imageArray.join(",")); // Adds all image URL's comma seperated to a text input
});
 frame.open()
});
});

<input type="text" name="imageurls" id="imageurls" />
 <input type= "button" class="button" name="image_button" id="image_button" value="Add Image(s)" />
