    Thank you as always for your assitance Brajesh and that makes sense. I’ll give it a try.

    Hi Brajesh

    Thank you so much for your helpful reply.

    I follow your suggestion with regard to disabling certain aspects, not quite so sure I can visualise how “a filter for filtering these in admin” would be created or how it would work but will definitely give it some more thought.

    Warm regards
    Nik

    Hi Brajesh

    I’m so very sorry to hear you were unwell. I very much hope you’re feeling better very soon and no real rush on this one although it will be great to hear from you if/when you are able.

    Regards
    Nik

    Hi Brajesh

    Just wondering if you’d had a chance to look at this yet? It would certainly be very useful if/when you get the chance.

    With many thanks in advance.

    Hi Brajesh

    Thank you SO much!

    I feel as if I must be almost there, and have been looking through your code to work out how things are done for other media types, but it would probably be a LOT quicker if you could possibly help me to “join the dots” 😉

    With a million thanks in advance and will look forward to hearing from you.

    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.

    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

    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 Ravi

    Many thanks for your reply and I’m not aware of using any custom media loop.

    If it makes any difference, “documents” work fine. It’s only the newly added “presentations” that don’t.

    Warm Regards
    Nik

    Hi Ravi

    Thank you so much for getting back to me.

    Viewing the file in the format you have described works perfectly but not when viewing the gallery. I don’t think I can upload a screenshot here but the gallery appears as follows –

    Edit
    Add Media
    Your Gallery/My Test Presentation Gallery

    Then a line of scribbled text… which isn’t “clickable”.

    I’ve tried disabling all plugins except BuddyBoss and MediaPress and reverting to Twenty Twenty theme.

    I’m really hoping it’s not a BuddyBoss issue (unfortunately my clients’ choice, not mine) and something simpler such as a setting I may have missed?

    With many thanks in advance.
