Thank you.

In order to update the gallery details, you can use the following function(s)

Updating gallery status(If you only need to update status)

mpp_update_gallery_status( $gallery, $status ); // $status can be any valid status e.g 'public', 'private' etc.

Or you can use

mpp_update_gallery( $args );

where $args can be

$args = array(
	'id'           => $gallery_id, // *Required
	'title'        => 'gallery title', // optional, if not given, keeps the current gallery title.
	'description'  => 'gallery description', //optional.
	'slug'         => 'gallery-unique-slug',
	'creator_id'   => $user_id,//who created this gallery.
	'order'        => 0, // menu order.
	'component_id' => $user_id,//optional. will keep current component if not given.
	'component'    => 'sitewide', // optional
	'status'       => 'public', //new status
	'type'         => 'photo', //new type?
);

Everything except the id is optional.

For example, Here is how we are updating the gallery description.

Hope that helps.

Thank you for the update.

You can do that by using the following code

$associated_gallery_id = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_mppc_associated_photo_gallery_id', true );

You should use the actual post id for fetching gallery id.

Thank you George.
I am looking forward to your feedback 🙂

Hi Monsur,
I am sorry, I forgot about it. Will test today and get back to you.

Hi George,
Here is an example that creates a gallery each time a post is published

/**
 * Auto Create Custom photo gallery when new post is created.
 *
 * @param int $post_id post id.
 * @param WP_Post $post post object.
 */
function mpp_custom_create_update_associated_gallery( $post_id, $post ) {
	// Only test for already published posts.
	if ( 'publish' != $post->post_status ) {
		return;
	}

	// we only want to create gallery for 'post' post type
	// change 'post' with your own post type name.
	if ( 'post' != $post->post_type ) {
		return;
	}

	$associated_gallery_id = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_mppc_associated_photo_gallery_id', true );

	$user_id = $post->post_author;// or should we use get_current_user_id() ?
	if ( $associated_gallery_id ) {
		// wht do you want to do?
		//
		return;
	}

	// if we are here, the gallery does not exist, let us create it.

	$gallery_id = mpp_create_gallery( array(
		'creator_id'   => $user_id,
		'title'        => $post->post_title,
		'description'  => '',
		'status'       => 'public',
		'component'    => 'sitewide',
		'component_id' => $user_id,
		'type'         => 'photo',
	) );

	// save a reference to post in gallery meta?
	// and a reference of gallery to post meta?
	if ( $gallery_id ) {
		mpp_update_gallery_meta( $gallery_id, '_mppc_associated_post_id', $post_id );
		update_post_meta( $post_id, '_mppc_associated_photo_gallery_id', $gallery_id );
	}
}

add_action( 'save_post', 'mpp_custom_create_update_associated_gallery', 10, 2 );

You can update it to match for your own post type.
Hope it helps.
