Creating new group photo uploads

Creating new group photo uploads was created by PaceOnline
We are struggling to create an auto action that can create a photo upload in a specific group from an internal url. We have the group id but we don't have the photo id or activity id because neither have been created. (We are hoping to create get them from return $actiondata; but we can't configure the action to create the activity or upload the photo.

You can't create an upload from the CB Gallery auto action type. You can only create linked media. Uploads require the transfer of data. It only supports native PHP uploads and image data strings. To perform an upload you would need to deal with writing all that PHP yourself using a Code action and a CB Gallery media item object class.

For example the below would add linked media to a group.

Mode: Item
Method: Create
Asset: groupjive.group.GROUP_ID_HERE
Link: URL_TO_MEDIA

That should be all you need unless you don't have a user object for the auto action then you need to also specify Owner.

If we specify a remote location in the code action instead of a local location will it work?

As long as whatever URL you supply is accessible over the web (e.g. URL works in your browser) then sure it doesn't matter where it's stored.

Set the "file" column as empty and the "value" column to the URL of whatever you're trying to link to. The CB Gallery auto action can already handle creating new linked gallery entries. If you insist on doing this with a Code action then you should build a media item object to work with. Example as follows.
$media	=	new \CB\Plugin\Gallery\Table\ItemTable()

$media->set( 'user_id', USER_ID_THIS_BELONGS_TO_HERE ); // e.g.42, 38, 91
$media->set( 'asset', 'ASSET_THIS_MEDIA_BELONGS_TO_HERE' ); // e.g. profile.42, cbgroupjive.group.4, article.3, etc..
$media->set( 'type', 'MEDIA_TYPE_HERE' ); // stricly one of the following: photos, videos, files, music
$media->set( 'value', 'URL_OF_MEDIA_HERE' ); // e.g. http://www.example.com/my_photo.jpg
$media->set( 'published', 1 );

$media->store(); // saves all of the above to the database
