<p>I had a problem that most of the time I had to upload a file, and I had to use a HTML upload, and that’s kind of bad, so I created something to use the Thickbox and the WordPress Uploader.</p>
<p>To use you must enqueue in the page used both the style and the script of the plugin:</p>
<pre><code><?php
    wp_enqueue_script( 'extend-upload' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'extend-upload' );
</code></pre>
<p>Then you can use the plugin by calling the jQuery Extends:</p>
<pre><code>(function($) {
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $('.uc-call').callUpload();
    });
})(jQuery.noConflict());
</code></pre>
<p>And the HTML/PHP output should be something like that:</p>
<pre><code><?php
    $args = array( 
        'url' => admin_url( 'media-upload.php?post_id=0&button=' . rawurlencode('Use as Avatar') . '&TB_iframe=1&width=640&height=253' )
    );
?>
<p class='uc-container'>
    <label><?php echo _e( "Avatar:" ); ?></label><a target='_blank' class='uc-call' data='<?php echo json_encode( $args ); ?>'><small><?php _e( "Upload the Photo" ); ?></small></a>"; ?>
    <input class="uc-answer" type="text" value="<?php echo ( is_numeric( absint( $avatar ) ) ? absint( $avatar ) : esc_url($avatar) ); ?>" />
</p>
</code></pre>
<p>Having the <code>uc-call</code> for the link, <code>uc-answer</code> with the input field and <code>uc-container</code> for the box with both the link and the input field.</p>
<p>All the stuff is customizable by passing the variables in to the array <code>$args</code>, some stuff must be passed in the url, but later on I will add a easier way to do it.</p>
<h3>Backlog</h3>
<h4>0.0.4</h4>
<ul>
<li>Older version of jQuery allowed and allowing non Image Media to be used</li>
</ul>
<h4>0.0.3</h4>
<ul>
<li>Fixed some bugs and added internationalization</li>
</ul>
<h4>0.0.2</h4>
<ul>
<li>Added the javascript to change the Insert to Post text on the thickbox</li>
</ul>
<h4>0.0.1</h4>
<ul>
<li>Using the the thickbox with the uploader iFrame inside you can call this from any page that has the script enqueued</li>
</ul>
