Hi,
Welcome back.
For the current version of MediaPress(There are plans to move meta to separate table in 2.0), all extra data is stored in post meta.

1. MediaPress galleries are stored as custom post type ‘mpp-gallery’. The gallery creator is the post_author field.
We store an extra post meta ‘_mpp_component_id’ for each gallery. This is either user id for user/sitewide gallery or group id if the gallery belongs to group.
You will also need another meta ‘_mpp_media_count’ which stores the number of media in a gallery.

2. We also use 3 taxonomies(with predefined terms slug) for type, status and component

The Taxonomies and terms are:-
‘mpp-component’ :- ‘_members’, ‘_groups’, ‘_sitewide’ (underscore is prefixed for uniqueness)
‘mpp-type’ :- ‘_photo’, ‘_video’, ‘_audio’
‘mpp-status’:- ‘_public’, ‘_private’, ‘_loggedin’, ‘_groupsonly’, ‘_friendsonly’, ‘_followersonly’, ‘_followingonly’.

You do not have to create these terms as they will be automatically created for the taxonomies based on your current active plugins/components.

You will need to assign one of the status, type and component term to each gallery and then ad the component meta.

2. The media is stored as WordPress attachment post type. Gallery is set using post_parent field. We set the component_id and status, type, component in the same way as above.

Each attachment contains some of the post meta. The following 2 are needed.

'_mpp_component_id' :- Numeric value as explains for gallery

'_mpp_is_mpp_media' :-  numeric value(1). It is used to mark the attachment as MediaPress media. 

Hope you can map it and use as you need.

Hi Miachel,
Thank you for the reply.

1. You can add the bold tag for now too using something like this

<strong>Your label</strong>

We are planning to update the shortcode and have the flexibility for including labels.

2. Ability for the post owner to see edit post:- It is already there. The theme controls the edit link. Are you using BuddyBoss theme? I can look into it if you can tell me the theme.

3. Ability to crop/adjust featured image:- I am sorry, it will remain in the same way as WordPress dashboard. We do plan to update how it appears on the edit page for a better experince.

4. Date field format:- Thank you. Please allow us some time. We will be allowing site admins to select date field format. Currently, it takes the browser’s local format.

5. Allow embedding:- It is already there. Please recheck. Also, next week, we are releasing the MediumEditor addon for BuddyBlog, you can use that if you want to be more explicit with videos/uploads.

Hi Tosin,
Thank you for the question.

At the moment, BuddyPress does not allow having different root slug and component slug(they have the option but it is not used for url parsing currently). So, even if we are able to change the url, it leads to page not found for profile.

In other words, this is not feasible currently in a reliable way.

Hi Deepa,
It is your theme hiding the extra buttons. Please contact the theme author and let them know that the extra buttons are hidden and ask them for a solution.

There is not much we can do with it. Please let me knwo what your theme author says.
