I’ve updated the file. I’ve performed a few saves, no errors.

Thanks Brajesh, I shall check it out. I intended to spend all day on mediapress, but failed 🙂

I found I need to make some changes to Mediapress. I wanted to have WordPress Comments as the public point of interaction for images, but also, keep the BP activity stream as a private – site member only, point of discussion.

I can also see that WordPress on my site does not recognise the Mediapress Images as valid attachments, and the reason I’m ending up with a medium image when the lightbox image is clicked, is because that is a WordPress fallback default. I ended up directly editing that fallback to show large, and include my zoooom class.

This means that I now have a lightbox page that looks and works as I require.

I then started thinknig about other features I need. As these are public images, it is clear, they need to have the Alt text set. Whilst this can be set by editing the attachment in WordPress Media, personally I do not find that a useful use case, and so I am starting to add the code needed to include the alt tsag in the Mediapress Gallery bulk editor, and also the front-end edit gallery shortcodes etc.

I’ve added a couple of new bulk actions to automatically copy either the title, or the description to the alt field.

Once I’ve done this, I will look into adding GIS information.

I have also added a number of taxonomies to the images, and am looking at the differing ways these can be used.

In my site galleries, there are often several photos of the same part of the building, for example. I would like to be able to group those photos into a collection that has its own comment stream. I can see that mpp attachments are hierarchical, and the gallery is the parent. I’m wondering about setting an image as the parent for a collection of images, and so deliver that commentable collection in that way?

My last issue is that I’m trying to overload the single image view – the one that appears when you click on the image in the lightbox, the one you see if you turn the lightbox off and the gallery thumbnail is clicked from the shortcode gallery, could you tell me which file I should be over-riding for that?

OK, back to the lightbox problem. It seems that the check for settings for the lightbox always returns false. and in that check in grid-post, if I make the answer to always be true, then I see the lightbox.
