Hi,
Perhaps there is an existing widget here
https://github.com/sorich87/buddypress-my-groups-widget

If that does not suits you, can you please let me know what improvements can we provide if we have to create new widget?

Thank you

Hi Leo,
Thank you for the details.

I can understand it now. Since in MediaPress, The MPP_Media_Query and MPP_Gallery_Query extends WP_Query, any action/filter applied on the WP_Query also affects it.

There is an easy solution though.

function SearchFilter($query) {
	
	if ( $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_search) {
		$query->set( 'post_type', 'post' );
	}
	
	return $query;
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'SearchFilter' );

Make sure to check for is_main_query() on the query object and it will not affect any other loop.

More details on MPP_Media_Query and MPP_Gallery_Quey below.

Hope that helps

Hi,
I am sorry but I haven’t reworked on it. Spent last few days preparing MediaPress for WordPress.org submission and the documentation. Have finally submitted it.

I won’t be able to work on it today but will start working on it tomorrow and keep you updated. 2-3 days should be more than enough to have this plugin now.

Hi Leo,
Most prbably the response from server is not valid json. Is it happening on the same server where we were testing or somewhere else?

Hi Paul,
Thank you for asking.

Yes, all of the above except the last one( I will get indo details of that is easily doable).
Here is the code you can put in your bp-custom.php

//allow to create only one gallery
function mpp_custom_check_gallery_create_permission( $can_do, $component,  $user_id ) {
	
	if ( is_super_admin() ) {
		return true;
	}
		
	$total_gallery_count = mpp_get_total_gallery_for_user( $user_id );
	
	if ( bp_is_my_profile() && $total_gallery_count < 1) {
		return true;
	}
	
	return false;
}
add_filter( 'mpp_user_can_create_gallery', 'mpp_custom_check_gallery_create_permission', 10, 3 );

//should we automatically create gallery?
//allow deleting gallery? no

//Restrict gallery deletion
function mpp_custom_check_gallery_delete_permission( $can, $user_id ){
	
	if ( is_super_admin() ) {
		return true;
	}
	
	return false;//do not allow i
}
add_filter( 'mpp_user_can_delete_gallery', 'mpp_custom_check_gallery_delete_permission', 10, 2 );

function mpp_custom_create_gallery() {
	
	if ( ! function_exists( 'mpp_is_user_gallery_component' ) ) { 
		return;
	}
	
	
	if ( ! bp_is_my_profile() ) {
		return ;
	}

	$user_id = get_current_user_id();
		
	$total_gallery_count = mpp_get_total_gallery_for_user( $user_id );
	
	if ( $total_gallery_count ) {
			return ;
	}
	
	$gallery_id = mpp_create_gallery( array(
		'creator_id'	 => $user_id,
		'title'			 => sprintf( _x( "%s's Photos", 'wall gallery name', 'mediapress' ), bp_core_get_user_displayname( $user_id ) ),
		'description'	 => '',
		'status'		 => mpp_get_option( 'default_status' ),
		'component'		 => 'members',
		'component_id'	 => $user_id,
		'type'			 => 'photo'
	) );
	
	if ( $gallery_id ) {					
		mpp_update_wall_gallery_id( array(
			'component'		=> 'members',
			'component_id'	=> $user_id,
			'media_type'	=> 'photo',
			'gallery_id'	=> $gallery_id
		) );
	}
}

add_action( 'mpp_init', 'mpp_custom_create_gallery', 100 );

The above code restricts gallery creation to 1 gallery per user. It will automatically create a photo gallery for a user when the user visits his/her profile. It will not allow users to delete their gallery.

Now, coming to the last one, It is doable as we are storing the media count for each gallery in a meta. I haven’t added a filter to the query, so unable to put the code here. Please give me till tomorrow and I will update MediaPress, then we can restrict the empty gallery from showing.
