    Thank you so much Brajesh. That’s really helpful and I do agree it’s not an easy task working around all the possible options available in BP.

    To keep things simple for the end users (and myself!), I restrict how/where they can can comment and/or like so for example, they can only comment on media on the single media page or in the lightbox which seems more logical to me personally and also avoids some of the scenarios that you’ve mentioned above but obviously if you’re working on a more generic plug-in you may have to cater for end-users who find that too restrictive 😉

    Good luck and will look forward to seeing the results of your efforts in due course… even if I may have to revise my own solutions when the next release comes out!

    Warm regards

    Hi again Brajesh

    Just wondering if you’ve had any thoughts on this and/or whether I made myself clear.

    I’ve now almost completed a plug-in which works with WP ULike to send out email notifications when someone likes various activities (including media) and I really want to add the same feature when someone comments on a single media page or in the lightbox.

    So for example, for WP Ulike it works as follows –

    add_action( ‘wp_ulike_after_process’, array( $this, ‘notify_likes’ ), 10, 4 );

    All(?) I need to do now is figure out which action to use instead of wp_ulike_after_process in order to trigger emails for Mediapress comments too.

    I’ll keep looking but if you have any thoughts, I’d be very grateful… and of course, if you’re interested, very happy to share my code once it’s complete 😉

    Warm regards
    Nikki

    Hi Brajesh

    Thank you as always for your prompt reply and actually yes that does all make sense as I’d noticed that a brand new comment on single media was shown as media update and I couldn’t quite work out why but at least I understand some of the logic behind that now.

    Assuming that’s the (main) action I want to target, what action/filter should I be hooking into to send my email?

    As you say, comments in the activity stream aren’t a problem as those are already handled, including emails (and could be refined if necessary).

    Of course, I realise your new release will probably make my efforts redundant but the site is already live and members need this feature urgently… plus I’ve set myself the challenge now and really want to see if I can make it work 😉

    With many thanks again.

    Hi Brajesh

    Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I can’t send a link as the site is not yet live but I’ve done a few tests and it seems that the height: auto is somehow causing the problem (or being ignored) because if I remove that, the min-height setting is respected although obviously that isn’t a solution in itself!

    Incidentally, I’ve just tested the same with the 2017 theme and I’m getting the same problem so it doesn’t appear to be my theme that’s the issue (and should be fairly easy to replicate if you had time to check for yourself).

    Warm regards

    Hi Brajesh

    Thank you for getting back to me. I just tried implementing the fix and it didn’t appear to have any affect but maybe that’s because it still needs to be made user specific?

    Thanks for looking into this and will await to hear.

    Warm regards

    NikB on in reply to: MediaPress does not create Notifications when Commenting #20410

    Sorry to be a pain but just wondering if there’s any update on this yet. I really need to get both Buddypress notifications and email notifications working for Mediapress as soon as possible.

    If it’s a bug you’re fixing or feature you’ll be adding imminently, I’ll try and hold fire a little longer but otherwise will probably need to give it some more thought and work things out for myself.

    With many thanks in advance.

    Hope you don’t me adding that I’m also having trouble with this and not getting any notifications regardless of whether someone comments on the single media page or in the lightbox.

    Will watch this thread with interest and hopefully someone can assist us 😉

    Hi Brajesh

    Ah that’s a shame but thank you for letting me know and I understand you may have your own priorities/reasons.

    As far as the members on the site I’m currently working on are concerned, all they really want is a Facebook style “like” button for images (primarily)… and preferably a notification to the poster if/when someone likes something so really not too worried about voting up/down etc but will still look forward to seeing what you come up with.

    With thanks as always
    Nikki

    Hi Brajesh

    It’s been a little while… wondering if you’d make any progress on the “likes” option 😉

    Warm regards
