MG 1.1 Is it possible to automatically start a thread on adding a new video media?

[Neutral Singh]

Like in resources, is it possible to automatically start a new thread on adding a new video media? The idea is to invite discussion in videos shared in the media gallery. I am not talking about comments system. Any ideas?

It would require custom development.

As a starting point, the Gallery has RSS feeds and XF has the Registered Feeds system.

That would start a thread for each media added regardless of type.

You can, however, specify in the Registered Feeds system to have threads moderated. So you would just approve or reject the threads manually.

Alternatively, if videos are added only to a specific category (this is recommended), then you can use the category RSS:

Wonderful, it works 100% as desired!
