Custom Taxonomies are not shown for media in the admin menu

[thee17]

I've been working with adding this code to line 100 of menu.php:

	$i = 25;
	foreach ( $wp_taxonomies as $tax ) {
		if ( ! $tax->show_ui || ! in_array('attachment:image', (array) $tax->object_type, true) )
			continue;

		$submenu['upload.php'][$i++] = array( esc_attr( $tax->labels->name ), $tax->cap->manage_terms, 'edit-tags.php?taxonomy=' . $tax->name );
	}
	unset($tax);

but I cannot figure out yet how to at this point make it work for any attachment:.

Then it probably would be helpful to do the same for pages and new custom post types.

Since this code is not in core (yet), i'm changing the title and moving to future. Posts/Pages/Custom post types support taxonomies.

With the provided code, this works:

	register_taxonomy('foobar', array('post', 'attachment:image'), array('label' => 'FooBars', 'show_ui' => true) );

So, Seems I've had this on my test install for the last 13 months, There's a bug in this, as expained here: #17973

I have just succumed to using the following:

add_submenu_page('upload.php', __('People'), __('People'), 'manage_options', 'edit-tags.php?taxonomy=people');

At this point it is just a would be nice. The issue in #17973 is not a problem with this method.

Well actually, It is. The menu doesnt recieve the correct highlighting.

See ​http://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-a-media-submenu-issuess?replies=6 for a method to give it the correct menu highlighting.
