User Profile Gallery

Vote 0 Votes

Hi, would there be anyway to have a user profile photo gallery for each user within mt motion? Is this possible with custom fields or other? Thanks in advance.

  • Yes, you could use custom fields to allow a user to create a gallery. You could just create a bunch of image custom fields, but that would mean a user's gallery is limited to however many fields you create.

    I think a better avenue to go would be with the Asset Gallery plugin because it would allow for a limitless number of photos in the gallery. However, it would only work for users with access to the backend, or would have to be reworked quite a bit.

  • Hi Dan, Thanks for your response that helps. I don't really want to allow users into the back end so I'll try to play around with custom fields some more. Thanks again.

  • Hey Dylan, Did you ever get anywhere with this? Was just thinking the same thing.

    It would be great if a plugin could be developed for MT that supports a community more. Things like private messages and upload space for users. Would be more in line with competing against Joomla or Droople for a CMS solution.

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
