Upload icons in bp-nouveau theme

  • With reference to this support thread – https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/uploader-showing-up-in-wrong-place/ – I have just started experimenting with MediaPress as a replacement for your other plugin, Activity Plus Reloaded, because users are complaining about the process of adding images etc along with the post which some are finding confusing – they would like to just be able to drag and drop an image/video/doc into the post box as well as write text and then a single submit button. I think I am correct in saying that this is not possible with MediaPress either, but I am experimenting anyway; however the upload icons buttons are not appearing inside the div with the text box as they do with Activity Plus Reloaded, and I can’t find any way to reposition them. I think it is probably related to the Nouveau theme, as the thread mentioned says that they are meant to go after #whats-new-options but although this div exists in Nouveau, it does so inside a form named #whats-new-form, and the div is only visible once a user clicks in the text area, so they are appearing outside of the new post div (bp-nouveau-activity-form), which makes it even more confusing for users! Is there any way to fix this? In the meantime I will keep trying…

    I have now switched to the legacy theme to experiment and the icons display in a much more logical place; however I have also discovered what I think is a bug, unrelated to which BP theme I use; when someone wants to add something to their post, they click on the relevant icons for image, video, audio or document, which opens the uploader box, BUT if they click on the icon again, the box closes, and any attempt to click on any of the icons after that will not open the uploader, and a user has to refresh the page to be able to do so. If the close uploader box (cross in a circle top right of box) is used, then no problem, so it seems that something needs to be changed in the behaviour of the icons when clicked again, something that users might well do if they clicked the wrong one. The obvious solution to me is to have only one ‘attachment’ icon and for the uploader box to allow any of the allowed media to be uploaded (with appropriate text in the box telling users what is allowed) and for the plugin to automatically detect whether it is permitted. Or to allow the box to be opened and closed at will via any of the icons. If what I have encountered is not a bug, but some kind of conflict with another plugin, please let me know how I can correct this?

    Hi,
    Thank you for using the plugin.
    I am very sorry for the troubles.

    For the legacy version, I checked and I see that there is a css issue(fixed in our 1.6.0 branch) which is causing it. Thank you for reporting this.

    Please visit Dashboard-> Appearance->Customize(If not using block theme) and ad dthe following css

    
#mpp-activity-media-upload-container {
	clear:left;
	
}

    That will fix it.

    Please let me know if it works or not?

    @buddydev , Thanks for your reply. I have tried that css but nothing has changed; when you click on any of the upload icons, the upload box appears, and when you click on an icon again it closes, but then the upload box cannot be opened again. I have now found another plugin that actually achieves what my users want, so I am switching to that, but thank you for trying to fix the issue – I suspect it could be a conflict with another plugin.
