    Hi,

    I’d like restrict certain users from commenting on galleries in group galleries and in the lightbox for a particular gallery.

    I’ve been trying to use these BuddyPress filters bp_get_activity_comment_form_action and bp_get_activity_comment_link combined with ‘current_user_can’ to achieve this. But I haven’t been successful.

    Guidance would be much appreciated.

    Regards,
    Emmanuel

    Hi Emmanuel,

    It is possible to do so by filtering on ‘mpp_settings’ and updating the value for this key
    ‘enable_gallery_comment’ based on role.

    Please give it a try and let me know if that works for you or not?

    I tried this but wasn’t successful. What is the signature of mmp_settings. Was i a bit naive with my code?

    function custom_comment_restrict($keys){
  if(!current_user_can('access_s2member_level1')){
    $keys['enable_gallery_comment'] = false;
  }
  return $keys;
}
add_filter('mpp_settings', 'custom_comment_restrict');

    That should have worked. Can you please check for subscriber role the same thing?

    Ah ok It does work, I should have been more specific with my question. I also needed the key for commenting on single media. Which I presume is $keys['enable_media_comment'].

    I’ve know disabled commenting on single media and galleries. Thanks again.
