Configuration Settings

The “Config” section in the admin UI allows you to customize the default parameters of the plugin.

The config management space is composed of two main parts – Main and Layout configurations.

Some parameters have a question mark icon on the right. These icons contain parameter descriptions, hover the mouse pointer over the icon to see the descriptions:

Main Configuration

  • Allowed extensions – A comma-separated list of accepted image file extensions. Files with unlisted extensions will be rejected during upload. (Modifying this setting is not recommended unless you are developing a plugin extension.)
  • Create icons – Enables automatic creation of gallery icons:
    • Image icons are generated upon upload.
    • Gallery icons are created when at least one image is added to a gallery.
  • Max image file size – Defines the maximum allowed file size for uploads. (May be overridden by web-server settings.)
  • Search form limit – Sets the number of items displayed in dropdown search results (admin area).
