My Uploads Plugin — v1.9.3-fix9

Plugin name

My Uploads Shortcode

Purpose

End-to-end submission and judging flow for the Harden Art Prize:

• Artists: upload, edit drafts, then set to Private for judging; can preview only their own entry.

• Judges: view all private submissions, score/comment, and see progress/averages.

• Built-in nonces/links so the preview/review pages open the correct post safely.

Roles required

• Artists: register/pay via Paid Memberships Pro (PMPro) (UM login also works).

• Judges: role hap_judge (or judge / pmpro_role_*) with read_private_posts capability.

• Admins: full access as usual.

Critical capability for judges: read_private_posts (otherwise they won’t see entries after artists submit).

Shortcodes

I have used ‘#’ instead of ‘[‘ as the latter symbols trigger the actual shortcodes.

1) #my_uploads]

What it does: Artist’s table to view/edit their own drafts and private posts; links to a secure preview page.

Common attributes

• category (required): category slug for the current year, e.g. 25-artwork-submissions.

• statuses: comma list (e.g. draft,private) to show in the table.

• per_page: number of rows (e.g. 20).

• show_attachments: true|false — show file/thumbnail column.

• preview_url: path to the preview page containing

  No artwork selected.

  .

• bypass_pmpro_preview: true|false — ensures the preview page isn’t gated by PMPro.

Example

2) #my_artwork_preview]

What it does: Secure, read-only preview for artists/judges/admin.
How it’s called: Link includes ?post_id=###&ms_nonce=... from the artist table.
Attributes: None (uses request parameters).

3) #judges_dashboard]

What it does: Judges’ master table (all Private entries), per-judge progress panel, average score.
Common attributes

• category (required): category slug for the current year.

• review_url: path to the page with /judge_review/.

• include_former: false|true — whether to include past judges in averages/columns.

Example

Extras in fix6+

• Download CSV button on the judges dashboard (scores, comments, timestamps). No shortcode change needed.

In fix9: Titles in the judges table show the raw post title (no “Private:” prefix).

4) #judge_review]

What it does: Judge’s side-by-side artwork view + scoring form (per-judge fields).
Common attributes

• review_return: path back to the dashboard (e.g. /judges-dashboard/).

Example

Plugin pre-requisites & field/label mapping

Required plugins / settings

• Frontend Post Submission Manager (FPS) — used for artist submission form.

• PMPro — handles artist registration/payment; make sure it does not gate judges pages.

• Ultimate Member (UM) — used to create/approve judge accounts (optional for artists’ login).

• My Uploads Shortcode settings (WP Admin → Settings → Judges):

  • Select the Judges Dashboard page (contains ##judges_dashboard]).

  • Select the Judge Review page (contains ##judge_review])
    These are whitelisted so PMPro doesn’t block judges.

• Artist table also passes bypass_pmpro_preview="true" so /artwork-preview/ isn’t PMPro-gated.
  
  

Data mapping used in preview/review

• Full Name → post meta: name (common variants supported)

• Email → post meta: email

• Dimensions → post meta: dimensions

• Medium → post_excerpt (fallback to post meta: medium)

• Artist Statement → post_content (fallback to post meta: artist_comments)
  
  

Judge scoring storage (per post, per judge)
judge_score_{userID} (float)

• judge_comment_{userID} (string)

• judge_reviewed_at_{userID} (datetime)

Annual rollover: how to keep it working

New Post Category each year

Create a new category/slug for the year (e.g. 26-artwork-submissions) and update the shortcodes:

1. Create the category: Posts → Categories

   • Name: “2026 Artwork Submissions”

   • Slug: 26-artwork-submissions

     


2. Update pages:

   • Artist dashboard page: set ##my_uploads category="26-artwork-submissions" ...]

   • Judges dashboard page: set ##judges_dashboard category="26-artwork-submissions" ...]

   • (If you’re using the Team plugin, update its ##team_dashboard category="26-artwork-submissions"] too.)

3. Check PMPro gating:

   • Verify /judges-dashboard/, /judge-review/, and /artwork-preview/ remain whitelisted in Settings → Judges and/or PMPro page rules.

4. Leave last year’s posts alone (they stay in their old category).

   • Keeps archives intact and avoids breaking any saved links to the old category page.
