Hi Douglas,
Welcome to BuddyDev forums and thank you for using MediaPress.

I am sorry but I did not understand the question properly, so I will try to explain what I understood and the solution. Please do correct me, if I did not get it correctly.

1. Do you want to list all galleries in a grid? If yes, please use [mpp-list-gallery ] shortcode. You can customize this shortcode with various options. Here is a guide for various options.

2. Or do you want to list all media? you can use [mpp-media] with all options exactly same as above. With mpp-media, you can also use ‘gallery_id=some_id’ to list media from that gallery.

[mpp-show-gallery id=XX] will only list the media from a single gallery. so that may not be usefull for you.

If you simply need a page where all the galleries are listed, You can simply enable directory from MediaPress Settings->BuddyPress and then assign a page to gallery in BuddyPress->pages. It will list all galleries.

If you can explain me and provides more details, I might have other suggestions too.

Thank you
Brajesh

Hi,
My apologies for the delayed reply. I have been thinking about your requirements a lot today.

1. MediaPress currently allows 3 types of gallery.
– User Galleries
– Groups Galleries
– Sitewide Galleries

Sitewide galleries are not visible on User’s BuddyPress profile at the moment. It is like normal WordPress gallery with one twist that It can be created/managed from front end/backend both.

2. What I understand is you want to create a Few categories and then allow users to Create Galleries and choose those categories? After that galleries/media can be sorted/filtered by these categories. It is possible to do with MediaPress but I will need to write some code to test custom categories. We haven’t tested this yet. Will these categories be available for all 3 type of galleries or just user galleries? Also, will a user be able to choose more than one category for a gallery?

3. About the gallery media filtering, we are have definitely thought about it and it will com in future. We are not sure what counts as popularity( comment count, views or what criteria)? Before making something like this, we will need to release the View counter plugin(already of github, needs a finishing touch and release). This will be a small addon and we certainly look forward to have it.

4. By ajax not working on gallery, can you pleas explain that in a little more details. Is it the tab clicking or uploading etc?

Thank you
Brajesh

Hi Hans,
Thank you.
I understand the issue and appreciate you sending the screenshot.

Since both the plugins are from us, we can definitely change the behavior. But there is an easier solution than doing it, simply turn off profile visit in the admin’s Visitors settings. What do you think of that?

Hi Hans,
Thank you for the idea.

I had a look at the screenshot and all looks good to me. My only concern is time at the moment. The testimonials are included in the comments table, so we can store the privacy as meta. We might have some issues in listing the testimonials though.

To be honest, I consider it a good idea but I may not be able to implement it in next 2 weeks due to lack of time and other priorities. If it is feasible for you to ping me in 2 weeks, i will be happy to have it.

PS: The B’day widget is coming on Monday for sure.

Hi George,
Thank you for asking. It is availbel in the plugin. You can use the shortcode with allow_posting=1 in the shortcode.

Also, Please do take a look at the shortcode options here
