Default Media Set

[mesrick]

setup a default media set such that it is owned by an admin (so only the admin can edit it) but every instructor has the ability to duplicate, then edit and insert this media and view it from the media library.

I am sure this has been requested more than once. Here's how you can achieve this. Consider user Admin (usually id  1) or any other user. We can create a default media set which would comprise of all the uploaded by this user.

remove_filter('posts_where', 'wplms_attachments_wpquery_where');
add_filter( 'posts_where', 'wplms_default_media_set');

function wplms_default_media_set( $where ){
  $instructor_privacy = vibe_get_option('instructor_content_privacy');
    if(isset($instructor_privacy) && $instructor_privacy && !current_user_can('manage_options')){
      if( is_user_logged_in() && current_user_can('edit_posts')){
        global $current_user;
        if( isset( $_POST['action'] ) ){
          if( $_POST['action'] == 'query-attachments' ){
            $where .= ' AND post_author IN ('.$current_user->data->ID.',1 )'; //1 is the user id of default user for media set
          }
        }
      }
    }
  return $where;
}

Changed all media to the user with the id we are putting into the provided code. Pasted code into customizer. Logged in as an instructor and media library is blank. Please advise

What exactly was the code you provided supposed to accomplish?

[H.K. Latiyan]

The above code lets all of your instructors use the media uploaded by the admin, so that the instructors don't have to duplicate the media for individual usage. Refer this video: http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cDVhlChB0A

Can you please confirm this function still works since the latest updates?
