Upload Files in Profile Edit

Hello, I have a CB Gallery enabled for uploading files. The upload option is only in the profile view when logged in but not in the edit profile area. I would like it to be the other way around if possible.

I cannot even see the files in the edit profile area.

Additionally, how could an admin manage the files in the backend? I'd like to see the list of files if possible for backend moderation.

Thank you

Hi

If you look in the Gallery plugin and click the Media button you should see all the file uploads there, for backend moderation.

As far as I can see there is no way to manage /upload/delete files in Profile Edit (but I'm just a CB user, not a Developer). In any case, as I'm sure you are aware, the Upload and other editing controls are only visible and available to the user of the profile, not anyone else, so they are essentially private.

Hope this helps.

I did find this after I posted the question. I guess this will have to do.

This is not ideal as it adds a the tab in the profile edit but nothing is there. You can't manage the files or even see them. Hopefully I have missed a setting or they can amend this.

You can't manage the gallery from profile edit. It's strictly profile view from the Gallery tab. You can manage media in backend withing CB Gallery > Media.

Hi, OK so why am I able to add that to the edit profile at all? It does nothing just shows an empty tab.

Two additional questions about the gallery plugin.

1. Is the progress option still work with it when it's not in the profile edit? I need photos and documents to be uploaded to profile completion. I just removed the gallery from "profile edit" in the settings and uploaded files in my profile but the progress says it's not complete.

2. Is there any other lightbox settings for the images? I have some odd things happening in the lightbox window. If there is no alternative can you consider updating this to be more user-friendly?

Here's what I see on my lightbox. Can't it just be the image without all the bordering?



On my phone these white bars are distracting.



Thank you

I am finding the component to be very powerful and I am happy with all the features so far.

CB Gallery is not a field so no CB Progress Field can not work with it. You'd have to use image fields for that.

2. Is there any other lightbox settings for the images?

No, not unless you restyle it with CSS or through the template files.

I have some odd things happening in the lightbox window. If there is no alternative can you consider updating this to be more user-friendly?

I'm not sure how it's not user friendly. It's exactly like Facebook. The right side shows the avatar and name of the owner of the media. Below that is the description. Below that is the integrations space (e.g. you can have commenting when combined with CB Auto Actions and CB Activity). If anything it doesn't get more user friendly due to familiar UX.

There shouldn't be white bars there, but your Joomla template is likely adding those as those are using table elements to vertical align. My guess is your template is forcing a white background on tables. You can compare to our demo site below, which does not have white bars.
