I am using the Gallery block to display images in my posts.
Is there a way to change the default settings to something other than 4 columns, 15px spacing, etc.? I know these can be modified, but on a post-by-post basis. I'm seeking a way to change the defaults so that new galleries have 3 columns, 20px spacing, no caption, Medium size instead of Large, etc. Then we can modify individual posts only when there are exceptions, rather than having to modify every post to match the desired default settings.
Thank you!
Hi,
Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.
There is no built-in option to change or set the default settings of the Gallery Block.
If you're using a content template for your post type, you can set one gallery block in it, as a generic/default setting. For any exceptions, use conditional blocks to show gallery blocks having different settings.
I hope this helps and please let me know if you need further assistance.
regards,
Waqar
Waqar, thank you for the reply. I figured this was the answer but wanted to make sure.
During this time of the long-extended feature freeze, this would be the type of "development" that could still be taking place to improve Toolset. These default values (4 columns, 15px spacing, etc.) are coming from somewhere...giving the user the opportunity to modify those defaults, to expediate the creation of galleries, would be super.
Part of the reason I'm seeking this is that the native Gutenberg photo gallery is (in my opinion) not very user-friendly, for when I am building sites for clients. The Toolset photo gallery, while it is a less-important block in the big picture of Toolset features, is easier to use and generates a much nicer output, for a less-experienced client/end-user. I'd just like to be able to specify custom defaults, on a per-site basis, to allow that user to just insert the block, upload their pics, and continue on.
Thank you,
Matt
Thank you for sharing this feedback, Matt.
I can see the value of a feature like this to set defaults for the blocks and will pass this on, internally.
Appreciate you brought this forward and let me know if you have any follow-up questions.
