rtMedia Pro runs on its own schema. rtm_media stores one row per upload with media_id, media_type (photo, video, audio, document), media_author, album_id, activity_id, privacy, and the upload timestamp. rtm_media_meta holds the per-media counters like likes and views. Albums tie back through album_id to a BuddyPress group or user profile, and uploads always sit alongside a bp_activity row for the social feed.

SleekView Charts reads those tables as a regular chart source. Each card picks a column to group by (media type, privacy, author, album, date) and aggregates with Count, Sum, Average, Maximum, or Minimum. The dashboard runs against the live rtMedia tables, so a photo uploaded a minute ago lands on the next card refresh without any nightly export to keep in sync.

A typical setup combines a Number card for total uploads this week, a Pie card for the photo, video, audio, and document split, an Area card for daily upload activity, and a Bar card for the top members by upload count. Community admins finally see whether the media feature is pulling activity from the right groups or quietly stalling in a handful of power users.

Community media is a volume question and an engagement question at the same time. Are uploads climbing or sliding compared to last month. Are members leaning on photos or actually using the video feature.

Which member is driving most of the activity. rtMedia Pro stores all of that in rtm_media and rtm_media_meta, but the default admin shows lists, not trends. Community managers either scroll through admin tables or export rows to a spreadsheet weekly, which never happens consistently.

SleekView Charts reads the same tables, joins them to BuddyPress activity and the standard WordPress user tables, and renders the answer as Number, Pie, Bar, and Area cards. The team finally sees what the media feature is doing across the community, and the engagement layer becomes something they can manage like the rest of WordPress.
