I have a fairly complex setup with panels and ctools with a custom module that implements a ctools panels plugin. The plugin contains a Media element that works fine under 7.x-2.0-alpha3 but is currently broken in 7.x.2.x-dev. The Browse button launches the Media Browser and you can successfully pick the media, but after clicking Submit, the dialog closes, there is a brief flash where you see the thumbnail of the item selected and then it is removed from the page.

It appears the culprit is related to media_ajax_upload() which calls drupal_process_form(). As far as I can tell, the appropriate form_id, form and form state are passed to drupal_process_form() but the form that returns doesn't contain the Media element in question, and is thus removed.

I'm hoping that there were just some changes, yet-to-be-documented, in dev that mean I need to call it differently in this particular situation. Here is the functioning code under alpha-3:

$form['image'] = array(
    '#type' => 'media',
    '#title' => t('Trigger Image'),
    '#default_value' => $conf['image'],
  );

Is there something else I need to do when in the ctools panels plugin context?

As far as I can tell, the Media element is operating correctly everywhere else including /media/browser/testbed.

Same issue here, but if if you try to inject the form field in a hook_form_alter() it will work, media element not removed (but isn't a valid solution).

I'm experiencing this issue as well... I know this issue is a bit old. Did either of you find a better solution?
