Thank you again Brajesh.

Putting it in the functions.php looks as if it will work although I am now getting the error “Declaration of BD_XProfile_Field_Type_Country::display_filter($field_value) should be compatible with BP_XProfile_Field_Type::display_filter($field_value, $field_id = ”) in… ” I’m guessing something must have changed since the code was written so will have a look at your custom field types to see if I can spot the difference 😉

Hi Brajesh

Ah I’m not sure I’m entirely following you in that case. So you are suggesting to create one field TYPE which automatically generates 2 select input fields?

If you say having 2 fields (the way I’ve described above) will make it easier to filter, then I may give it a try that way initially and if that doesn’t work, will come back and re-read what your suggestion again 😉

With many thanks as always
Nik

Hi Brajesh

Thank you so much for your time.

I understand completely what you say about the fact that the server can’t identify how many files have been uploaded and having delved into the code, I can see how you’ve handled this.

> “In case of upload from activity, we do no keep a record of all the files uploaded client side and we do not inform server that consider these n files as single unit.”

I guess this is the part I am still trying to get my head around ie. what is the difference with an activity upload which means that the number/details of files ARE stored somehow and can used to create an activity entry at the time of upload.

> “We can do it by sending a new request at the end of the uploads to inform server. It is not very difficult to achieve.”

I am assuming this is how one would handle creating the relevant activity entry for a bulk upload from the gallery? Presumably by hooking into mpp:uploader:upload.complete?

My client is willing to pay me to overcome this issue if I can, I’m just trying to work out if it’s realistic for me to attempt 😉

Thank you again for all your assistance and I shall do some more digging myself.

Thank you again Brajesh… I *almost* understand what you’re saying, although does seem strange that it works if users upload directly from the activity screen but not when uploading in their own galleries, you know your way around BuddyPress far better than I ever will so I’m assuming there’s a good reason why that’s the case and not something that’s easily overridden 😉

Hi Brajesh

Aaah… thank you for persisting with me. I’ve tried that again and I now see what you mean!

That is indeed doing exactly what I want but hope you’ll agree it’s not hugely intuitive. Is there any way of making that the default behaviour so that users don’t have to take an extra step to ensure their uploads get published on the activity page?
