# [UPDATE] - just pushed an update with snippet to move the widget control buttons outside the widget window, which should fix the issue (raised by @Mike ) of overlapping buttons in the top right corner. ---

I was trying to setup a custom mediaGallery and it doesn't pickup my custom config (which is kept in my CONFIG file). After some playing around, I solved it by moving the lines below into the widgets.mediaGallery function. With this adjustment, it picks up my config properly. Am I making some mistake (it has been known to happen 🙄) or is this a bug? ```auto -- Configuration Defaults local cfg = config.get("mediaGallery") or {} local tileSize = cfg.tileSize or "160px" -- default for posters local pageRows = cfg.pageRows or 2 -- pagination limit by rows ``` ---

Technically you shouldn't modify anything in the source just add the config example to a space-lua codeblock in your CONFIG page (or technically any page should work too). ```lua config.set("mediaGallery",{ tileSize = "180px", -- default value for Virtual Page or if not specified in widget pageRows = 2, -- default value for Virtual Page or if not specified in widget -- custom = { -- {"object","person",{"name","birthday","phone","emoji"}} -- } }) ``` If it the config still doesn't apply/load correctly, check/add the priority to the config codeblock: `-- prioirity: 10` or `-- prioirity: 100` or any higher positive number, depending on your setup. This should make the config load in the correct order. If this solves the issue please give me a short feedback, so I can add it to the config example or documentation. ---

Thanks, setting the priority addresses the problem. Forgot about the whole loading order thing. PS: I know modifying the source is not the way to go, but it did help me to troubleshoot the issue, at least to some degree. ---

if this solved your issue, I might modify the space-lua in the library with `-- priority: -1` this might even solve the necessity to use the priority attribute in the config alltogether. I'll do some tests and will update the library later today with the -1 priority. Thanks for your feedback. PS: I thinking about modifying all my libraries and adding the `--priority: -1` to all codeblock which supposed to use config, so that the order is already dictated by the library and not needign to set anything in the config ---

I pushed the update of the Library with `-- priority: -1` in the space-lua block. Can you confirm that if you remove the `-- priority` attribute from your config, it it still works? ---

I can confirm that the updated version works - I removed the priority line from my CONFIG and updated the library and my config is still correctly loaded. ---

Would it be possible to add some kind of tutorial on how to use this? I have installed it but am completely stumped. The virtual pages are empty, and I can't figure out how to add any data. ---

You can use the dedicated Media Manager to add Movies/TV-Shows/Books automatically to the gallery. 1. Install this library from my repo: [MediaManager](https://github.com/Mr-xRed/silverbullet-libraries/blob/main/MediaManager.md) ![image](https://community.silverbullet.md/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d28ba80c13d9c3299236f53eebeca7e951900718.png) 1. Then Run the `Media Manager: Add item` command and follow the instructions: 2. Select the Media type you want to add, e.g.: Books: 3. Search and add the desired book. 4. This will automatically will create a new page with the media informations: ![image](https://community.silverbullet.md/uploads/default/original/2X/2/28e1d2c838f8f298e8e05e6cc71117a44e58260d.png) 1. Then you navigate to that specific virtual page(Books/TV-Shows/Movie): you'll see the added media: ![image](https://community.silverbullet.md/uploads/default/original/2X/8/864b5e6d07ccee00443bd683eab10f08162c3203.jpeg) of course if you want to add your own media type for example: Contacts, Games, Pokemon Cards etc. you can do so by creating specific object codeblocks or Pages using your custom codeblock-tag or writing the attributes to the page frontmatter. If you have something specific in mind you would like to add to the gallery other than TV-Shows/Books/Movies, feel free to give some more detail, and the source & information of that media type, and i could give you some more instructions, but without knowing exactly for what do you want to use the Media Gallery, i cant be more specific.
