Tagged: Custom Gallery, MPP_Media_Query
I’ve looked around for a way to programmatically add images and other info to a mediapress galleryt from buddypress fields. I’ve looked into mpp_media_query but I’m not completely sure if that is the correct way or not and when I try to use it I get wsod. I am a experienced Drupal developer but I’ve been given this WordPress task so maybe there is something very obvious I’m missing. Where would I put the code for MPP_Media_Query? It breaks the site in a custom plugin and functions.php. If using MPP_Media_Query is not the best way to go about this I would love to hear any suggestions. Thank You.
Hi Paul,
Welcome to BuddyDev.I am sorry but I don’t understand the question completely.
MPP_Media_Query is used to list the media.
To add a media you will use mpp_add_media() and to add a gallery you will use mpp_create_gallery()
If you can explain a little more what you are trying to accomplish, I am be able to help better.
Thank you
BrajeshBrajesh, thank you so much for the quick reply. I have a buddypress site with members via memberpress. I need to make sure they are a paying member and if they are add images and a few other fields from their buddypress profile to a custom gallery. In a new plugin I have tried the following code as a test but it breaks the site:
add_action(‘mpp_loaded’, ‘add_member_images’);
function add_member_images() {$args = array(
‘gallery_id’ => 292,
‘title’ => ‘testing’,
‘type’ => ‘image’,
);$ret = mpp_add_media($args);
}
I assume I pass the image and other fields as args? If so how do I specify the image? Maybe I way off here? I would appreciate any help.
Hi Paul,
Thank you for the deails.Here is an example how we add the media
$media_data = array( 'title' => $title, 'description' => $content, 'gallery_id' => $gallery_id, 'user_id' => get_current_user_id(), 'is_remote' => false, 'type' => $media_type, 'mime_type' => $type, 'src' => $file, 'url' => $url, 'status' => $status, 'comment_status' => 'open', 'storage_method' => mpp_get_storage_method(), 'component_id' => $component_id, 'component' => $component, //'context' => $context, 'is_orphan' => 0, ); $id = mpp_add_media( $media_data );
where
– type can be ‘photo’, ‘audio’, ‘video’ etc
– component can be ‘members’, ‘groups’ etc
-context csn be ignored-component_id – is user id or group id
-src is the absolute path of the file on the file system
-url – is absolute url of the file
-mime_type is the mime type
-status – can be ‘public’, ‘private’ etcPlease do not call the mpp_add_media on mpp_loaded. Post types are only registered after mpp_init
So, It will be better to call at ‘mpp_actions’ or anything after mpp_init’ or WordPress init hook.Hope that helps.
Hello Brajesh,
Thank you for the very helpful reply. The following code does add the image to the gallery but with a few problems.
1. Clicking on the image does not work, I get an “The page isn’t redirecting properly” error.
2. I get wsod when running the script. After I comment out $id = mpp_add_media( $media_data ); and return to the gallery the image is there.I will also need to roll through the images in the gallery to remove unwanted images.
add_action(‘init’, ‘add_member_images’);
function add_member_images() {$title = ‘testing image’;
$content = ‘checking this out’;
$gallery_id = 292;
$media_type = ‘photo’;
$type = ‘image/jpeg’;
$url = ‘http://sisters.dev/wp-content/uploads/profiles/4/large_22097.jpg’;
$file = ‘/wp-content/uploads/profiles/4/large_22097.jpg’;
$status = ‘public’;
$component_id = 1;
$component = ‘members’;$media_data = array(
‘title’ => $title,
‘description’ => $content,
‘gallery_id’ => $gallery_id,
‘user_id’ => get_current_user_id(),
‘is_remote’ => false,
‘type’ => $media_type,
‘mime_type’ => $type,
‘src’ => $file,
‘url’ => $url,
‘status’ => $status,
‘comment_status’ => ‘open’,
‘storage_method’ => mpp_get_storage_method(),
‘component_id’ => $component_id,
‘component’ => $component,
//’context’ => $context,
‘is_orphan’ => 0,
);//$id = mpp_add_media( $media_data );
}
Thank You,

Hi Paul,
Here is a completely working code that you can use. It is tested to work.function add_member_images() { //Include image.php for helper functions require_once ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php'; $title = 'Nature is great'; $content = 'checking this out'; $gallery_id = 292; //change $media_type = 'photo'; $type = 'image/jpeg'; $url = 'http://localhost/4.4.2/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/15-beach-sea-photography.jpg'; $file = '/wp-content/uploads/15-beach-sea-photography.jpg'; $status = 'public'; $component_id = 1; $component = 'members'; $media_data = array( 'title' => $title, 'description' => $content, 'gallery_id' => $gallery_id, 'user_id' => get_current_user_id(), 'is_remote' => false, 'type' => $media_type, 'mime_type' => $type, 'src' => $file, 'url' => $url, 'status' => $status, 'comment_status' => 'open', 'storage_method' => mpp_get_storage_method(), 'component_id' => $component_id, 'component' => $component, //'context' => $context, 'is_orphan' => 0, ); $id = mpp_add_media( $media_data ); } add_action('mpp_actions', 'add_member_images');
Please update the fields as you need. It was giving fatal error because we did not include image.php which has some required functions needed for processing media.
Hope that helps.
You are most welcome. Glad it is working. Marking the topic as resolved.
