Robo Gallery had grown two ways to set up a gallery: the new panel for v5 galleries and the old option boxes for the classic types. Now there is one panel for all of them, and it does more than both did.
One panel for all types
The same panel now sets up Fusion Grid galleries with all their sources and layouts, and the classic types: grid, masonry, mosaic, polaroid, wallstyle and custom. The old option boxes are gone.
Classic galleries keep their stored settings and look the same on the site. Nothing has to be redone after the update.
Autosave and a header that tells you the state
Changes are saved one second after you make them. The header shows whether everything is saved, and retries if a save fails, for example on a weak connection. A field can be reset to its default with one click, and the panel can go full screen when you need room.
Option themes
Spent an hour getting a gallery right? Save its settings as an option theme and use it in other galleries. Robo Gallery comes with built-in themes to start from.
A gallery keeps its own changes over its theme: use a theme for the shared look, then change the columns of one gallery without breaking the others.
See it before you save
The panel shows what a setting does: the hover effect on a sample card in the Hover tab, the menus, breadcrumbs and pagination of the navigation, and the polaroid panel.
Album hierarchy in the header
The album tree is edited right in the panel's header: move galleries by drag and drop, with buttons, or with Alt + arrow keys. It replaces the old category pages.
Smaller things that help
- Text before and after the gallery (HTML), for every type: a heading, a caption, a call to action.
- Width, max width and alignment of Fusion Grid galleries; alignment works with Full Width too.
- Gallery Tools in the sidebar: the gallery's shortcode with a copy button.
- New Fusion Grid options: hover line color and full-width highlight, polaroid buttons (Learn More, share, link) and the Learn More label.
- Change type opens the same type dialog as a new gallery, with drawn previews of every layout.
