Is there any particular reason why MediaGalleryPages don't have the page.context.user context variable available on them? Found it a little strange, we're adding logic to our analytics and while the...

RobertT - Yes, it is indeed really surprising why this isn't available OOTB. As a workaround, you could pass it on to the next page in the URL and then use it in your analytics. Just override the media gallery component and add a custom link to pass the username to the next page.
I hope this helps.
Unfortunately that's not a solution for us, we need the logic to run on that page as we're modifying analytics calls based and one of the conditions we're specifically picking up on is where a user is viewing their own profile/media gallery pages.
Without the context object we can't compare the user ID to validate the user is looking at their own media gallery content.
When you goto any media gallery page your URL will be "https😕/community.khoros.com/t5/media/gallerypage/user-id/34821".
You can get the user-id for the media gallery by below code:<#assign urlList = http.request.url?split("/") /> <#assign user_id = "" /> <#list urlList as url_split> <#if url_split_index gt 0 && urlList[url_split_index - 1] == "user-id"> <#assign user_id = url_split /> </#if> </#list>Above will give you the user-id of the gallery page you are viewing.
you can check the condition with current login user(user.id) with below code after that.<#if user_id == user.id> [your condition code here] </#if>
