Hmm… that’s really odd. I DO get notices on the Edit Gallery page, but not on the Upload page.

So far I’ve tried… switching to Twenty Twenty theme, switching from Firefox to Chrome, and also removing ALL code from my bp-custom.php file (except that required to generate the Publish link) in order to exclude any other customisations I might have made.

It seems unlikely that it could be a plug-in conflict since the notices work fine on the Edit Gallery page so I can’t think why another plug-in would be affecting just the one page but since from your screenshot, the issue clearly seems to be on my side of things, I’ll see what else I can think of!

Thank you again for your help… I can see that everything you’ve suggested *should* be working. Now I juat have to figure out why it’s not for me 😉

Wow… that works! Thank you so much Ravi.

Not quite sure where I came up with ‘mpp_media_publish’ as an activity type, but I think I must have misunderstood as I now see that’s used as an activity meta entry for _mpp_activity_type. (The confusing thing was that changing the activity type as I described, DID actually seem to work but I’m not going to lose any sleep over figuring that one out, since your way is obviously the oorrect way and saves having to fiddle with the code any further)!

Now… if I can just find a way of keeping the user on the same (upload) page when they click “Publish” (as described in my point 1 above), things would be just perfect but I’m rather guessing the fact that they get sent to the “Edit Gallery” page is down to the js and therefore may be trickier to amend?

Thank you again and regards

Hi again Ravi

Sorry to trouble you again but I now have the concept working quite well by editing your code as follows –

`add_action( ‘mpp_enqueue_scripts’, function () {

$gallery_id = mpp_get_current_gallery_id();

$link = mpp_gallery_get_publish_activity_url( $gallery_id );

$format_link = ‘<a href=”‘. $link .'” rel=”noopener”>PUBLISH</a>’;

$publish_link = sprintf(
“Click %s HERE.”,
$format_link
);

wp_add_inline_script(
‘mpp_uploader’,
“jQuery(document).on( ‘mpp:uploader:upload:complete’, function( self, up, files ) {
jQuery(‘div#mpp-uploaded-media-list-gallery’).append(‘” . $publish_link . “‘);
} );”
);
}, 11 ); `

However… a couple of things which would make it even better, and if I can possibly trouble you just a little more, I wonder if you have any thoughts on the following –

1. Clicking “Publish” takes the user to the Gallery Edit page (with the message “Published to activity successfully”). Whilst not a major issue, this is not ideal as a little confusing for users when they end up on a different page. Do you have any suggestions for ending up on the Upload page (but still with the success message)?

2. This is an odd one but seems to be happening even when users click “Publish to activity” from the Edit Gallery page, so I’m actually wondering if it’s a bug ie. the activity entry created has the type “mpp_media_upload” and the entry in the activity feed simply shows the users name and a grid of the images they have uploaded. If I “manually” change the activity type in the database to “mpp_media_pubish” then the activity shows the text “X shared 2 photos to Y” (which is obviously preferable). Any idea why this is happening and/or what can be done to solve the issue?

ie. Am I right in thinking that in this scenario (ie. single activity entry for multiple images) type SHOULD be being set as “mpp_media_publish” and if so, why isn’t this happening?

I’ve been wanting to solve the multiple upload issue for months now, and with your assistance, I think I’m finally almost there, but would really appreciate any thoughts on these last two outstanding “tweaks”.

Warm regards
Nik

Hi Ravi

Thank you for the hint. That definitely looks promising although unfortunately I’m not so familiar with js so if you have any suggestions as to how I would take advantage of that in PHP, I would be very grateful.

No worries if not… it looks like the right direction so I’ll do a bit more research of my own.

Hi Brajesh

I’m not quite sure I follow what you’re saying as WP ULike also registers a new activity type ‘wp_like_group’ but possibly it’s not getting used correctly somehow.

Thank you for your thoughts though. I will investigate further.

Nik
