Hi,
No problem. I can do that in a minute. Can you please give me the Name for galleries and type for these galleries.

Thank you
Brajesh

Hi Kenny,
You can. what is the change in code that you have made? I don’t need the stripe code, just a skeleton idea.

Thank you
Brajesh

Thank you. I am looking forward to hear your experience. Please do let me know if you need further assistance.

Thank you. Here we go with the code. Please put these code blocks in your bp-custom.php

1. Let us stop user from creating gallery

// Stop gallery creation, only superadmin can
function mpp_custom_check_gallery_create_permission( $can_do, $component,  $user_id ) {
	
	if ( is_super_admin() ) {
		$can_do = true; //ok super admin can create it
	} else {
		$can_do = false;//no one else can
	}
	
	return $can_do;
}

add_filter( 'mpp_user_can_create_gallery', 'mpp_custom_check_gallery_create_permission', 10, 3 );

That will stop users from creating gallery. Site admins can still create it.

2. Let us stop users from editing gallery

// Restrict gallery editing
function mpp_custom_check_gallery_edit_permission( $can, $gallery, $user_id ){
	// only superadmin can
	if ( is_super_admin() ) {
		$can =  true;
	} else {
		$can = false;
	}
	
	return $can;//do not allow it at all
}

add_filter( 'mpp_user_can_edit_gallery', 'mpp_custom_check_gallery_edit_permission', 10, 3 );

That will stop users from editing gallery but allow siteadmins to do so.

Step 3: Let us stop users from deleting gallery

// Restrict gallery deletion
function mpp_custom_check_gallery_delete_permission( $can, $user_id ){
	// only superadmin can
	if ( is_super_admin() ) {
		$can =  true;
	} else {
		$can = false;
	}
	
	return $can;//do not allow it at all
}

add_filter( 'mpp_user_can_delete_gallery', 'mpp_custom_check_gallery_delete_permission', 10, 2 );

and the final step, let us create the predefined galleries automatically for the user.
In this example, I have created only one gallery, you can modify the repeatable block(make sure to change the user meta key for each) and create as many predefined galleries as you want. When a user visits his/her own profile, the galleries will be created.

function mpp_custom_auto_create_gallery() {
	
	if ( ! bp_is_my_profile() ) {
		return ;
	}
	
	//make sure that user gallery functions are available
	if ( ! function_exists( 'mpp_create_gallery' ) ) {
		return;
	}
	
	
	$user_id = get_current_user_id();
		
	//does this user has predefined gallery?
	//we use this check to avoid same type of gallery again and again for the user
	if ( ! get_user_meta(  $user_id, '_mpp_predefined_gallery_photo_1', true ) ) {
		//No, then we need to create it.
		
		//repeat it as you want
		$gallery_id = mpp_create_gallery( array(
			'creator_id'	 => $user_id,
			'title'			 => __( 'Predefined Photo Gallery' ),
			'description'	 => '', //add description if any
			'status'		 => mpp_get_default_status(),//can use any of the status e.g. 'public' , 'private', 'loggedin', 'friends' etc
			'component'		 => 'members',//for user
			'component_id'	 => $user_id,//no need to change
			'type'			 => 'photo', //can change to "audio", "video", "doc"
		) );
	
		//let us keep the id in usermeta to avoid creating it again, right?
		if ( !  is_wp_error( $gallery_id ) ) {
			update_user_meta( $user_id, '_mpp_predefined_gallery_photo_1', $gallery_id ); //you can change the key to anything

		}
		
	}//end of repeatable block
	
	//go ahead, do it for other types too
	
	
	
}
add_action( 'bp_template_redirect', 'mpp_custom_auto_create_gallery');

Please do let me know how it goes for you.

Thank you
Brajesh

Hi,
Thank you for asking. I have a few questions before I can put the sample code for you.

1. Do you want users to be able to upload from activity or not?

2. Do you want to allow users to delete the predefined galleries or not?

3. Can you please explain what do you mean by

“Additionally, I need to split the images and videos into separate entities. Currently it’s all in one.”

MediaPress does not allow uploading video/photo to one gallery. It is the default behaviour to have separate galleries for each of the type.

Thank you
Brajesh
