    hi Brajesh,

    It’s not clear to me what you mean by 1. The user needs to be able to upload from the activity feed into a default album, right? Presumably the first one found under wp_usermeta.meta_key = '_mpp_wall_photo_gallery_id' or have I misunderstood you?

    hi Brajesh,

    having fixed my bad data, everything works as expected again, PHEW!

    I’d recommend at least an error message somewhere in your mpp_get_gallery routine which says something like “assigned gallery id=$id is invalid”, which could be dropped into STDERR/apache error logs, and at least give an indication of what’s wrong.

    Happy bunny here now 🙂

    hi Brajesh,

    ok, it seems that $id = mpp_get_wall_gallery_id() is returning an $id or 79791, which is then not able to be used by mpp_get_gallery( $id ).

    component=members, id=1, media_type=photo -> gallery_id=79791

    However no such post/gallery exists, and this is because some galleries have been deleted, but not the usermeta records:

    wp_usermeta where meta_key = '_mpp_wall_photo_gallery_id'

    I think we need a bad data fixup script here 🙂

    Looking at what is printed via the activity box (file upload) I can see that the My Profile gallery selector is assigned the value “0”. This seems to imply it’s not finding the ‘default album’ for this user, even though the user has a valid public image album. This may be the cause?

    <div id="whats-new-post-in-box">
Post in:
<label for="whats-new-post-in" class="bp-screen-reader-text">Post in</label>
<select id="whats-new-post-in" name="whats-new-post-in">
<option selected="selected" value="0">My Profile</option>
<option value="68">Active Nudists</option>
<option value="404">Autistic naturists & nudists</option>
<option value="130">Bare Beaches</option>
<option value="249">Censorship</option>

    Nope, that’s not it, as a successful upload user also has a gallery value=”0″. Hmmm… presumably then, when MP tries to assign the image to a gallery, on upload, it’s unable to discover it on it’s own. So there must be some DB./taxonomy relationships missing…

    hi Brajesh,

    I’ve captured some screen for you to take a look at this. Perhaps you can spot something:

    hi Brajesh,

    I agree, and that looks like a great tool to be able see what’s going on, at least for the first steps. Thanks for the tip, and if the users continue to see these issues, I’ll report back here soon with a URL of their screen for investigation.

    Thanks!

    hi Brajesh,

    as per the other ticket, WPML has declared they don’t support BP groups, so this ticket can also go west. TMTOWTDI 🙂

    Cheers

    hi Brajesh,

    I’ve done some more research into this, and I note that on the WPML site, they say they don’t support BP group translations. SO, in fairness, I can hardly expect your BCG plugin to do a 3-way support of something which is actively non-supported on one side of the triangle.

    Therefore, I’m looking at another solution to my local problem, and am closing. Thanks for listening 🙂

    hi Brajesh,

    looking at this a little more, I can see that the wp_posts (original blog+2=3) all have what look like the correct postmeta:

    
+---------+---------+---------------+------------+
| meta_id | post_id | meta_key      | meta_value |
+---------+---------+---------------+------------+
| 1197085 |  141401 | _is_bcg_post  | 1          |
| 1197086 |  141401 | _bcg_group_id | 379        |
| 1197101 |  141406 | _is_bcg_post  | 1          |
| 1197102 |  141406 | _bcg_group_id | 379        |
| 1197108 |  141408 | _is_bcg_post  | 1          |
| 1197109 |  141408 | _bcg_group_id | 379        |
+---------+---------+---------------+------------+

    Which basically looks pretty good. This makes me think that BuddyBlog + BCG should be able to identify the blog as being a part of this group, regardless of what translations are going on. Somehow it doesn’t quite mesh together though…

    hi Brajesh,

    I don’t think it should be so difficult, if we can look at it together. You/I/we *need* to fixup WPML support, or WPML need to assist with MediaPress support. Oje, oje…

    At first glance, if I look at the category changes which WPML have made, it seems fairly consistent. For instance where I have say “mycat” as the english (en) category. The German equivalent (even when not translated) then becomes “mycat-de”, which is consistent, and easy to follow.

    This might be something we can sort out, you think?
