Allow Admins to edit and upload to other users' buddydrives?

No, it’s not possible right now. Sorry. I think it’s an interesting idea. I will close this ticket but will include the need in my workflow. Thanks for your feedback.

I appreciate it. We are really loving how Buddydrive is working for us on this project already. Thanks for creating it!

Hello!

Thanks for including this feature in this last update to Buddydrive. I’ve updated and now Admins can view other users files. But I’m not seeing an option for them to ‘edit’ or ‘upload’ files to other users’ buddydrives. Is there a setting somewhere for that or is it still not possible?

Thanks,

Anne

I think what would be ideal if ever possible, is for Admins to be able to change the owner on the backend of any given document. We have a situation where Admins need to be able to upload files to other users drives. So if they created the file from their own buddydrives, from the backend they could then go and change the owner to the desired user after creating the document. Possible somehow! Thanks so much for any advice you may be able to give.

Hello Anne,

Good idea!! I’ll look at it asap ??

Hi,
Very interested on this feature too. I think it would be convenient for admins to upload files from front-end, and then assign bp_displayed_user as the owner.

Cheers!

I’ve been testing some things modifying core files (just for testing). I’m able to show the upload form if current user can bp_moderate, customizing a couple of “if” sentences. How can I set the file and folder author on saving? I’ve seen this filter:

// Use this, not the filters above
do_action_ref_array( 'buddydrive_item_before_save', array( &$this ) );

on buddydrive-item-classes.php, but I can’t figure out how to do it. Is it possible?

Regards,
Fernando

Amazing plugin I too would like the feature that Anne (hiStrat76) is looking for. It would take this plugin to the next level.

Admins to be able to change the owner on the backend of any given document. We have a situation where Admins need to be able to upload files to other users drives. So if they created the file from their own buddydrives, from the backend they could then go and change the owner to the desired user after creating the document.

Thanks for your time and dedication in creating BuddyDrive.
