I think I got it! Just tested it and it is working.

——————————–

function mpp_custom_upload_permission( $can_do, $component, $component_id, $gallery ) {

$total_uploaded_audio = mpp_get_media_count(array( ‘component_id’ => bp_loggedin_user_id(), ‘component’=> ‘members’, ‘type’ => ‘audio’ ) );

$total_uploaded_photo = mpp_get_media_count(array( ‘component_id’ => bp_loggedin_user_id(), ‘component’=> ‘members’, ‘type’ => ‘photo’ ) );

if ( empty( $gallery ) ) {
return $can_do;
}

$type = $gallery->type;

if ( $type == ‘photo’ && $total_uploaded_photo >= ‘8’ ) {
$can_do = false;
}

if ( $type == ‘audio’ && $total_uploaded_audio >= ’10’ ) {
$can_do = false;
}

return $can_do;

}

add_filter( ‘mpp_user_can_upload’, ‘mpp_custom_upload_permission’, 10, 4 );

Let me know if I should be aware of anything else with this, otherwise I will mark as resolved.
Thanks again

Looked into this a little bit more. Seems this is the proper hook that I’m going to be wanting to latch onto:

——————–
mpp_user_can_upload:
——————–

function mpp_user_can_upload( $component, $component_id, $gallery = null ) {
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
return false;
}
$can_do = false;
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
if ( is_super_admin() ) {
$can_do = true;
} elseif ( mediapress()->is_bp_active() && $component == ‘members’ && $component_id == $user_id ) {
$can_do = true;
} elseif ( mpp_is_active_component( ‘groups’ ) && $component == ‘groups’ && function_exists( ‘groups_is_user_member’ ) && groups_is_user_member( $user_id, $component_id ) ) {
$can_do = true;
} elseif ( mpp_is_active_component( ‘sitewide’ ) && $component == ‘sitewide’ && $component_id == $user_id ) {
$can_do = true;
}
$can_do = apply_filters( ‘mpp_user_can_upload’, $can_do, $component, $component_id, $gallery );
return apply_filters( “mpp_can_user_upload_to_{$component}”, $can_do, $gallery );
}

Also I’m getting a current count of the number of media items in the gallery on one of my pages by using:

$audioattach = get_children( array( ‘post_parent’ => $audiogalleryid ) );
$audiocount = count( $audioattach );

&

$photoattach = get_children( array( ‘post_parent’ => $photogalleryid ) );
$photocount = count( $photoattach );

So I’m thinking it is possible to simply use PHP to remove the upload link once a user gets over their limit.
But this may be a band-aid solution.

And I’m not familiar with properly using hooks quite well, but I can try and mess around with this.

If you have any thoughts Brajesh, I’d love to hear it. Also an FYI be having my boss buy a related plugin soon when this is getting ready to launch.

Nevermind, turns out this wasn’t a MediaPress issue at all.
I used mpp_media_to_json and compared the two uploads styles.
Noticed the ‘author’ wasn’t setting in correct for my ajax uploads.
So just simply added

$setpostauthor = array(
‘ID’ => $id,
‘post_author’ => 470
);
wp_update_post( $setpostauthor );

to my function and now they show up in the playlist query.

To clarify, if not clear, these custom uploaded files are showing up just fine in my admin backend and buddypress profiles in appropriate gallery with all the others, but not showing up when using mpp-list-media, or more specifically [mpp-list-media type=audio view=playlist user_id=’.$userid.’]

Brajesh,

Good news.
I searched previous support threads and found these two:

https://buddydev.com/support/forums/topic/limit-number-of-galleries-per-user/
https://buddydev.com/support/forums/topic/mediapress-predefined-user-galleries/

With some slight modifications, I was able to get the result I wanted.

My solution in this was to auto-create the two galleries (audio and photo), and then three other functions to disable gallery creation, editing and deletion.

This is basically the same effect I was looking for (better, even, as if a user is restricted from creating more than 1 gallery per media type, why not create it for them automatically).

I will mark this as resolved, thank you again.
