    Hi Brajesh,

    Thank you for your work on this.

    I haven’t had a lot of time to look at this thus far. In my tinkering with it I find that I can created an upload page for a specific gallery using the gallery_id=”xxxx” and I can created a gallery using the show gallery shortcode.

    My problem is that I have 7 galleries that to which I want any member on the site to be able to upload. Further, I want anyone on the site to be able to view these 7 galleries. I’m not sure I can do that with what I see so far. For example, I want any member to able to upload an image of their vehicle to a gallery called ‘My Ride’ and then have anyone on the site to be able to view the ‘My Ride’ gallery. Is that possible with the current uploader?

    Thanks,

    Mike

    Hi Brajesh,

    ==See below==

    I just implemented the shortcode today. It still needs final touch but is available on github repo now.

    https://github.com/buddydev/mediapress

    Here is a screenshot to show how it looks

    ==I appreciate your work on this==

    I am not sure how to handle the case when a user does not have any gallery available, should we create one automatically when a user uploads for the first time?

    ==I don’t think it needs to create a gallery. If a user wants to upload random media to share with others they already have that capability through member galleries. My idea on this was to have a page like you have created that allows users to upload media to specified galleries already created by the admin. They could choose which gallery from a drop down.==

    The shortcode can currently handle single gallery uploads(if you provide gallery_id or can list galleries based on other parameters and user access(status,type,component,component_id) and let users select the gallery to upload to.

    == I think allowing multiple gallery uploads would add confusion, but I can think of applications where there might be advantages to allowing this for media that fits more one category. I think single gallery upload would be a good start.==

    I still need some idea for what the real life needs are and will appreciate your suggestions here.

    ==It may need an option to allow immediate publishing or await admin approval. For my purposes I want immediate publishing, however I have seen a lot of discussion on the need for this type of user front end loader and the option to do either seems to be what is needed.==

    Thanks again for you response to this need. Let me know when I can test it.

    Mike

    Brajesh,

    Thank you so much for your hands-on assistance. It appears that all is working now. I will remove the posts and images and test it all again. I understand what you are saying about the gallery trash versus deletion and will keep that in mind in the future.

    A couple of more questions. I am thinking I want the galleries page to be a no-sidebar page, but I can’t seem to change it with the shortcode generating the page. It seems to default to the right sidebar. Secondly, as you may have seen, I am testing a user front end loader without much success. Obviously, I want users to be able to upload to specific galleries from the front end. You may have seen those galleries listed in the dropdown menu. Of course, they are now just linked to dummy pages. Is a user front end loader on your radar?

    Thanks again for your assistance,

    Mike

    Hi Again Brajesh,

    3. Since you are able to upload right? The Wall gallery is created. The question is why is it not being listed. If wall gallery can not be created then you may not be able to upload from Activity wall.

    ==I am able to upload to the wall.==

    Can you please click on individual media in the activity and see if it takes to their single page(If you have lightbox enabled, you can click on the image in the lightbox). If it is taking, please check the gallery name and then click on your profile gallery tab to see if it is there?

    ==When clicking on the individual media either from the wall or the all media page, I get the 404 page. These uploads do not appear on my profile.==

    4. I am sorry I am not sure about this. Are you using shortcode to create All Media page? If yes, Please use the shortcode [mpp-list-media]. For reference, I have linked the shortcodes documentation page at the bottom of this post. If you are already using it, we will need to look further, please let me know.

    ==The shortcodes linked at the bottom are exactly the ones I used.==

    5. Can you please tell me if you are using gallery/media widget and what ssetings you have selected there(In the widget section)?

    ==Sitewide Galleries; Photo; Public; 5; Date; Descending. Yes, they are the Mediapress widgets.==

    Thanks,

    Mike

    Hi Brajexh,

    1. If you delete a gallery it is gone for ever. That means, all the media and everything in it will be gone for ever. It is not recoverable.

    ==Completely understand this.==

    All Galleries(or gallery directory) can be easily created again. Yoou have already done that but I will repeat the step. Create a Page in WordPress Dashboard, then visit Settings->BuddyPress->Pages and select it for Gallery .

    3. New wall gallery will be automatically created when you upload from activity. Please try adding a few images and posting activity.

    ==I added photos from ‘Activity’ and ‘Blog’ and no Wall Photos Gallery was created.==

    4. Please note that the All Galleries or directory will only list “public” galleries. It won’t list private or other galleries.

    ==All created galleries are public and they show on the All Galleries page. However, on the All Media page I created in the absence of a Wall Photos gallery, Blog media and Activity media do not appear.==

    5. About widgets, The list depends on your level of access to the media/gallery. Based on the privacy, It will list all accessible galleries/media.

    == I am the site admin, so I have access to everything. AS stated above, there are no ‘private’ galleries.==

    When you see an issue like this, an easy way to verify that there exists galleries etc are by visiting Dashboard->MediaPress->All Galleries

    ==The three galleries I created do appear there.==

    If it is listed there(It will list everything there), It will be available on the front end, if there are none, you will need to create some galleries(or wait for your users to create some)

    ==Are there any issues with the Activity and Blog postings not appearing because the admin (me) posted them?==

    Please verify the things and let me know, I will be happy to help you further.

    Thanks,

    Mike

    Wow, I am solving some of this by poking around. I think I found the wall photos gallery by using the ‘all media’ short code. Correct? Still not seeing any media displaying in the sidebar widgets.

    I created the all galleries page using the short code and that fixed that problem. I now have the problems of my widgets not working. Neither the recent galleries, nor the recent media widgets display anything in the sidebar. Of course, I still have no wall photos gallery.
