    We launched an edu site this week and a few questions from users have come up:

    Can BP group admins be allowed to edit all galleries in a BP group?

    Our users can not upload mp4 files, even if they seem to be allowed.
    Is this a know issue?
    thanx
    Jan

    Hi Jan,
    Thank you for asking.
    1. yes, The group admin should be able to edit/manage/delete gallery/media from their groups
    2. I haven’t seen anything like that but going to test and will report if there is any issue with the group mp4 uploads. Have the user noticed any error message?

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    I see the issue with first question too. When activity gallery is created due to upload by some other user, Group admins don’t see the edit link( though it is still editable). Working on it.

    Hi,
    Since I am updating it right now I just thought to ask one question:-
    Shoud we allow group moderator/admin both to be able to edit/delete or just the group admins?

    Hmm.
    Off the top of my head. Probably good if both admins and mods can edit.
    I not, maybe a pref?

    For now, I have added the permission for both. In future, I am planning to add an option in Group setting in MediaPress Admin settings( or may be will do it in half an hour that too ).

    will post back here after doing a few more mods and pushing to github.

    Thank you

    Hi Jan,
    I have pushed the changes on github repo now.
    Here is a summary of changes.

    1. Group admin/mods will be able to edit/delete all group media
    2. A user can only edit/delete his/her own group gallery media
    3. If a non group admin/mod creates group gallery, he/she won’t be able to delete it. Only group admins can delete it. I have done this since the group galleries act as shared gallery and multiple users might upload to that.

    Please upgrade and check.

    About your second issue, I tested with multiple users and I could not reproduce it. Uploads worked fine for normal members.
    If your users report the issue, please do check for the error and let me know.

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    Seems to work as expected now. Great!’
    The second issue was a htaccess config thing. Sorry about that.

    thanx as always!
