Submitting Media Suggestions in MediaLibrary 1.5.x Shop

When you have configured MediaLibrary to allow users of your website to submit Media Suggestions, the users can enter Media suggestions through the [Suggest Media] button in the main Category View and in the Media List in each category.

The user can enter a Title for their suggestion and enter the suggestion itself in a free text box. Once everything is filled in, the user clicks on the [Save] button on the bottom of the form. The Suggestion will be submitted to the backend.
