Hi I am Creating an Airbnb like booking site with Rentalhive." List a property" lets a user/host register and list a property but … the images all land up in the default media library. I need a media file to be automatically created per user/host on registration, or to be able to assign a unique media file to a user and all their uploaded images via the Rentalhive front end most be stored there. Otherwise there is no way of managing a large number of Hosts/Properties and Images. Plse Suggest a plugin or workaround. I have been struggling with this for days and installed multiple media handling plugins with no success.
Apparently, it’s a bad idea.
Just say you have no idea. There are a number of plugins that comes close …
Unfortunately, there’s no such feature in HivePress, but I recommend checking images via other content entries, e.g. if you check listing directly in WordPress/Listings, it’s the same as filtering images by listing in WordPress/Media. You can check vendor profiles in the same way.
There may be also a plugin for this, for example I found this one but not sure if it has the “filter by user” feature Media Library Organizer – WordPress Media Library Folders & File Manager – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org HivePress relies on the core WordPress media features so you can also ask on the WordPress.org forums, or possibly here https://www.reddit.com/r/Wordpress/
Hope this helps
Thank you for that input. I am trying Happy Files which allow unlimited file creation and I can then transfer the images to a user specific file, which I have to create, when I approve a pending front end listing, or if I add a Host and listing at the back end it will ask which file to upload to, which I also have to create first. So that is the workaround currently. Pity Rentalhive does not have feature where a front end registered user/vendor can become a listed Host, there seems to be no hook or setting / method to achieve this.
We try not to interfere with the core WP features to prevent future compatibility issues, I hope WordPress adds this filter to the default UI since each media has an author. I also found a code snippet solution that may work How can I add an Author filter to the Media Library? - WordPress Development Stack Exchange
Hi thank you so much for intelligent input. It is a huge shortcoming in Wordpress for any serious data volume sites. However I am a bit allergic to coding changes, but thanks anyway at least there are some WP users facing this frustration.
