Thanks Cris, I have spent 2 x 12hr days trying to fix an issue with the media gallery and no matter what I tried I couldn't find a fix. The new unread flag doesn't show for me but does for users.
I installed xf and media clean and it worked.
I cross checked every permission and no good
I disabled every addon, no good
I uninstalled every add on, no good
I reverted every template, no good
I reverted every style setting, no good...I ended up with a standard xf and media site...still not working
I removed every extra usergroup, not working
With both my site and a default xf and media site open I went through every user and usergroup permission setting making my site the same as the default, still no good
And at many different times running the crons and rebuilding caches ALL NO GOOD
I have had media since you first developed it before you went to XF
My site is now stuffed because updates don't remove leftovers from previous versions etc
There is no export/import function for media. I imported my site into a new xf install with media installed and the problem was fixed but I lose all my 4,000 media items. However, all those 4,000 media files are still in the data and internal data folders bloating my site, my disk space and my backups
Finally, I exported all the individual media gallery tables plus all the attachment tables, and uninstalled media, reinstalled it and then imported every media gallery table and attachment table, which was a job and half due to the left over footprints of media not matching a new installation.
Still working on it but it seems my issue is now fixed...crikey, I am hoping mad about all this. All this is just with my local backup site, subject to further testing I still have to apply a fix to my live site which means closing it down and doing all this and reopening the site.
I have created 2 threads here about trying to resolve this and one thread didn't even get a reply regarding the site import
