    I’m developing a site using MedaiPress with BuddyBoss Pro using the BuddyBoss Theme.

    When ‘Gallery’ is selected in a Member Profile, all is fine and the menu options looks like the following:

    My Gallery Create a Gallery Photo Video Audio

    However, when ‘Gallery’ is selected in a Group the Gallery menu options are all shown without any spaces between them as shown below:

    All GalleriesMy GalleriesCreate Gallery

    When I switch to the BuddyX Theme the two cases are shown as follows

    For Member Profile:
    My Gallery Create a Gallery Photo Video Audio

    For Groups:
    All Galleries
    My Galleries
    Create Gallery

    I don’t know if problem is with MediaPress or BuddyBoss

    Hi Brent,
    Thank you for the post.

    I am sorry, I removed the credentials as the topic can not be marked private(Replies can be).

    MediaPress and BuddyBoss are incompatible. BuddyBoss have their own media solution and have created the experience around that.

    I will suggest using BuddyBoss media(you can enable it from components) instead of MediaPress when using BuddyBoss.

    Regards

    I’m aware of BuddyBoss media capabilities having gone thru all the use cases they provide. However, BBoss still have some limitations related to providing methods for showing Group and Member galleries (they call them albums) across the site.

    BBoss also doesn’t support a sitewide gallery (Album) which I’m able to implement using MediaPress Sitewide Gallery plugin. BBoss also does not support audio.

    So far, I’m finding that all the MediaPress functionality works, but there remains this one menu formatting issue when ‘Gallery’ is selected in a Group. At least that’s all I’ve found thus far. Is there a method for applying custom css to overcome this issue?

    If you know of nothing from your end, I’ll approach BBoss.

    Hi Brent,

    Thank you for the reply.

    I am sorry but MediaPress will not be able to support BuddyBoss as it does not make sense for us to support some feature which is almost same as their native features. I understand your needs but we have no benefit for supporting an outlier case where we have to invest significant time without being much helpful in general.

    If you want to use sitewide gallery, we will try to help with supporting that for BuddyBoss though. I will suggest disabling members/groups integration and enabling sitewide only.

    If you face issues with that, Please let me know.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    I am sorry, I forgot to mention, Tabs is not the only issue, you will face a lot more pressing issues if you try to use MediaPress with BuddyBoss activity etc. They have a very difficult hardcoded system for extending.

    OK. Thanks for your feedback. I get it. Darn. I’m having a very hard time finding full-featured media capabilities that support frontend user provided content for media/galleries/albums.

    Final question on this topic: Do I understand that for the MediaPress Global Shared Gallery plugin to work plugin to work, the MediaPress plugin is also required?

    Hi Brent,
    I am sorry for the experience. I understand your frustration. I am sorry that we are unable to help solve it.

    You only need global shared gallery if you want to allow all users to upload to a gallery. If you want users to create their won gallery and upload to it, you do not need the global shared gallery.
