Hi Jay,
My apologies for this delayed reply.

Here is what I think will suit your requirement.

1. You provide a form to users to ask you for allowing site creation.
2. Based on the data, you decide and assign the user some member types
3. You can post about the member types here
4. You will set the option on register setting that says logged in members can create site
5. I will restrict the creation of the site to those specific member types and limit blog count.

That way, I believe it can be semi automated.

Hope that it helps.

Hi Celia,
congratulations on starting the project.

Since you are planning social network, I will suggest getting more storage. 10 GB may not be enough if you are going to allow local uploads.

The good package to start with depends on how many users you expect in first few months(say 6 months) and what kind of activity.

It all depends on the specific need and I believe you will have to do the calculations based on your assumptions.

All the best.

Hi Brian,
You are looking in the right direction.

I suggest filtering on

mpp_user_can_create_gallery to restrict gallery creation

and

mpp_user_can_upload' for restricting upload.

In both the cases, you should check for the total uploaded media by the logged in user.

$total_uploaded = mpp_get_media_count(array( ‘component_id’ => bp_loggedin_user_id(), ‘component’=> ‘members’ ) );

`

I believe that should allow you to do it. You can avoid the last function and do a query on posts table for attachment where post_author is logged in user id and that will work too.

Hope that helps.

Hi Chris,
I am sorry if I have skipped it somehow. I am looking into my mails and will get back to you today.

Thank you
