Simple Media Gallery for Books, Movie,TV-Series, Games, etc

Plugs and Libraries

I will add it later to the library, expect an update later or tomorrow where this snippet will be included.

[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 :roll_eyes:) or is this a bug?

-- 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).

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.
