PS. I was doing some more investigation into this and notice that there is an error message appearing in the code “Unable to display content. Needs a registered view.”

I also noticed that in settings under “Members Gallery Default Views”, for the newly added “Presentations” there is no option to select Grid or List view but simply the words “It will be used as the default view. It can be overridden per gallery”…

I’m just wondering if either of these may give a hint to the issue. Possibly Mediapress has been updated since the code I copied (see link given in original post) was created and it needs tweaking slightly?

With many thanks again for any thoughts.

Hi Brajesh
Thank you for getting back to me.

I (possibly rather lazily) simply copied the text from the link above ie.

function mpp_custom_register_presentation_type() {
        
    //video
    mpp_register_type( array(
            'key'           => 'presentation',
            'label'         => __( 'Presentation', 'mediapress' ),
            'labels'        => array(
                                'singular_name'    => __( 'Presentation', 'mediapress' ),
                                'plural_name'    => __( 'Presentations', 'mediapress' )
            ),
            'description'   => __( 'Presentation media type taxonomy', 'mediapress' ),
            'extensions'    => array( 'ppt', 'pps', 'pptx', 'odp' )
    ) );
        
}
 
add_action( 'mpp_setup', 'mpp_custom_register_presentation_type', 11 );

Followed by –

function mpp_custom_register_presentation_type_support() {
 
    
    mpp_component_add_type_support( 'sitewide', 'presentation');
    mpp_component_add_type_support( 'members', 'presentation');
        
}
 
add_action( 'mpp_setup', 'mpp_custom_register_presentation_type', 12 );

From what you say, it sounds as if I also need to use mpp_register_gallery_view and mpp_register_media view (which seems quite obvious now I think about it)?

Assuming that’s the case, I guess I may be able to figure things out myself but again, any suggestions much appreciated.

With many thanks as always
Nik

Hi Ravi

Many thanks again although I’m sorry, I think I’m even more confused now. Do I need to use all of that code (which makes reference to additional plugin files, scripts etc)?

All(?) I want to do is to be able to display presentations (gallery and single media) in a similar way as currently happens for documents.

Regards
Nik

PS. I tried adding –

function mpp_custom_register_default_gallery_view() {
    
    $view = MPP_Gallery_View_Default::get_instance();
    mpp_register_gallery_view( 'presentation', $view );
        
}
 
add_action( 'mpp_setup', 'mpp_custom_register_default_gallery_view', 11 );

… which seemed to be a step in the right direction but then adding –

function mpp_custom_register_presentation_default_view() {
mpp_register_media_view( 'presentation', 'default', new MPP_Media_View_Presentation() );      
}
 
add_action( 'mpp_setup', 'mpp_custom_register_presentation_default_view', 11 );

… caused an error so I’m clearly not quite there yet.
