    Hi Jay,
    Thank you for asking.

    1. It’s is very resource intensive to block media completely by media file url. Even Facebook does not do that. If you have direct url to the image(image file), You can access it even on facebook. What facebook does is creates obfuscated file names to avoid simple recognition. It is still doable per media file, but I do not recommend that as it will exhaust the servers.

    If we instead obfuscate the file name and use media page url instead of media file url(the file url is not visible, but someone can right click and say open image url ), It is easy to restrict users out of the box.

    Yes, MediaPress is capable of blocking completely, but I do not recommend that method as it will a lot more exhustive for resources( example, filer are not directly accessible and are read via php, will consume memory and cpu).

    2. MediaPress comes with doc files support. It also includes google doc viewer for doc files by default. So, all you need to do is configure the extensions on MediaPresssettings page. If you want to use a different viewer, It is possible to write that and plugin instead of google doc viewer.

    So, easy solution will be marking a Media as friend only(or private) and only friends will be able to see that.

    It is even possible to share a Media with an individual person(we have flexible API inbuilt, but that will need some custom coding to provide an interface).

    Please let me know which way you want to go.

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    Brajesh Singh on January 26, 2016 at 6:06 pm in reply to: MediaPress is stable now and available from WordPress plugin repo #2431

    Hi George,
    I am sorry for the inconvenience. These are the errors thrown by plugin installer not MediaPress.
    Please try doing this:-

    1. Delete MediaPress from plugins page. If it gives you any issue, please use ftp to delete.
    2. Try installing again, if you see the issue, It is related to permissions on your wp-content folder. An easy way will be manually downloading and extracting the zip file and then uploading it to wp-content/plugins directory and then activating it.

    A little explanation about the issue:- As you see from the above log, WordPress is trying to include MediaPress files but due to permission issue, It is not able to read them.

    Please let me know, how it goes.

    Hi Jan,
    Please visit Appearance->Widget section.
    There you will see the widget are where you have added the “Sitewiide Activity” widget. Please edit its setting.

    The second section from the top, you will see a setting like this

    Limit to Logged In user’s activity: – Set it to no.
    Also,

    List My Activity Only: – Set this to No too.

    Please let me know if that makes it work for you or not?

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    Hi,
    Thank you. we certainly plan to keep adding importers. Any developer if looking at this and want to work with us on any of the importers, please do let us know. We will assist in all possible ways too.

    Is it the plugin you are referring too.
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-album/

    Once we have got one plugin ready, It will be like understanding the schema/models of how other plugins store data and writing a connector for that.

    Hi To,
    Please do not be confused by the word “move” . It is all copy only. There is no destructive operation. We do keep a track of what was migrated but nothing more than that.

    Also, the current migrator is for “Bp Gallery” not BP album. I am sorry if there is any confusion.

    Hi All,
    Just wanted to give some update on this.
    I have got the basic migrator working.
    It is moving files, creating galleries and moving media.

    It will not move remote media from BP gallery as we don’t have an equivalent in MediaPress at the moment.

    There are a few small things remaining and I am working on that

    1. currently, the MediaPress API does not give the option to set date time for gallery/media creation, so all the moved galleries are getting assigned new dates. I am working on that.
    2. It is still not moving the media in proper order. The oldest media is moved as the newest. Fixing the above point should fix this too.

    3. Gallery & Media activity needs to be moved properly. It may need some work specially for gallery activity where multiple BP gallery media is published in activity. I am working on it and will have some solution soon.

    About my point regrading moving file vs copying, I have preferred the copy method. We copy the original file and regenerate thumbnails for MediaPress.

    I am hoping to have more updates soon.

    Thank yo
    Brajesh

    Well, Just had a look at the All media page from the dropdown. seems it is fixed too.

    I did not do any changes there, seems like restoring the gallery did it since all media were published to that gallery.

    Can you please check that?

    Thank you
