    Brajesh Singh on October 11, 2015 at 5:40 am in reply to: Inviting Ideas for the best ever WordPress Gallery Plugin #894

    Hi George, Nauti,
    Thank you for the suggestions.


    @venutius    ,
    1. All the photos/videos are available in the WordPress Media screen, so yes, you can insert them in posts if you want too. I need some suggestions here, should we add a tab on the media model and filter out all MediaPress media files there, so when inserting from admin a user knows he/she is using MediaPress files.

    Shortcode is available
    [mpp-show-galler id=”some gallery id” view=”some view”] where view is optional and can be any registered view. By default, MediaPress comes with 3 views(grid is default, list(for all media type) or playlist(only for audio video))

    There are other generic shortcodes too( [mpp-media] that will allow including all media types not just from a given gallery.

    I am almost working on a shortcode UI to allow you directly inserting it from edit screen( It may have to wait for phase 2 though)

    I have tested a few sliders view and I am happy to report that they work for shortcodes/single gallery/activity attached media. I do plan to release a few soon( atleast after 8-10 days from now). Before that , I just want to concentrate on the platform.

    The good news is, A developer can register any new type of view for any specific gallery/section. I added that API last week and It is easy. So yes, There will be views( slides,accordion, grid, justified grid) and a lot of them.

    I am also planning to post a tutorial, to enable other create views for various galleries etc.


    @nautinz    ,

    Thank you for the suggestions.
    MediaPress is not hard coded for any specific lightbox. I am not a fan of including the lightbox with MediaPress( because I believe why not use the existing one just like you). I have added the lightbox in a manner that you can disable loading it.

    I am going to add support for atleast 15 most popular WordPress lightbox( It will be just 5-10 lines of code for each) solutions.

    Justified grid has been on my list, the only reason I haven’t yet supported it is we have almost square images and we need to give site admins the flexibility to choose the size first( A programmer can do it right now by using mpp_register_media_size() ), once we allow site admins, then justified gallery will be a good things to support. Otherwise, if all images are of same size, justified gallery support is not going to make much sense.

    Please do keep the ideas coming 🙂

    Can you please try disabling other plugins( I believe it is a test site as per our previous discussions) except BuddyPress and MediaPress. Does that fixes it. Some plugin/code is most probably trying to redirect after load-edit.php action, they should instead do it on admin_init .

    We just need to find out which one and can suggest a patch to the author if that is the case.

    Hi,
    Apologies for delayed follow up.
    I will post some code later today that will allow you do it.
    Just to be sure
    1. Field should be only admin editable
    2. field should be visible to all.

    Is that correct?

    You are right. If the sitewide galleries are not enabled, It will not work. I will disable the Add Gallery button in next update if the sitewide gallery is not enabled. From backend, you can edit/delete all type of the galleries but only sitewide galleries can be created.

    I went with tis route to make the first use of new gallery screen better. Otherwise, we need to provide choices for component( say groups, select group to attach etc) and that makes the whole experience bad.

    That’s why only sitewide gallery creation is allowed. At the moment, only admins are allowed but I have plans to allow it to editors/contributors/authors as well.

    Brajesh Singh on October 11, 2015 at 5:09 am in reply to: [Resolved] Really need to lose the "mediapress" slug! #884

    “media” is used internally and is reserved, please use “gallery”, “album” , “photos” etc.

    Please do note that following are reserved and might have side effects. reserved names
    1. media
    2. photo, audio,video,docs( Any media type should be considered reserved)
    3. ‘manage’, ‘edit’, ‘delete’, ‘change-cover’ these are action names and should be avoided too

    You can use photos(note the s) or videos etc or even gallery/album or anything except the above 5. In any case, do not use ‘media’ at all. It is registered as an end point and has very special meaning. The behaviour is unpredictable for media.
    Hope that helps.

    Hi Nauti,
    Currently you can do it via bp-custom.php

    
if ( ! defined( 'MPP_GALLERY_SLUG' ) ) {
        define( 'MPP_GALLERY_SLUG', 'xyz' );
	}

    It is there to avoid slug conflict if you are already using an existing gallery plugin. As mentioned above, you can change it from bp-custom.php and in future, I will provide a setting option to do the same.

    Hope that helps.
