Design Editor Options for Galleries

  • Updated

Applies to: Emplifi UGC, Publish Center

The Design Editor controls how your galleries (also called widgets or displays) look and feel. Each category panel has its own options. This article explains what you can change in each panel. For instructions on using the editor itself, see the Design Editor Guide.

Global

These settings apply to the whole gallery.

  • Font: Pick a font from the preloaded list or import your own. Imported fonts must be .otf, .woff, .woff2, or .ttf files.
  • Primary Color: Sets the color of all buttons and the header text.
  • Secondary Color: Sets the color of the text inside buttons.

For more color control, use Custom CSS.

Header

These settings control the area at the top of your gallery.

  • Background: Adds a custom background image to the top of the gallery.
  • Title: Changes the font size and weight of the gallery title.
  • Description: Changes the font size and weight of the gallery description.
  • Upload Button: Shows or hides the button below the description. Shoppers use it to upload content to the album inbox linked to your gallery. You can also change its font size and weight.
  • End Tile Upload Button: Shows or hides the upload tile at the end of the gallery. You can also change the font size and weight of its text. This tile works well for albums with only a few photos or videos.

Widget

These settings control the gallery itself. Some apply to every layout, and others depend on the Display Layout you chose.

Common options

Review Tile (all layouts except Slideshow). This is available when Show favorite reviews is enabled on your display.

  • Font Size: Changes the size of the review text.
  • Star Size: Changes the size of the star next to the review.
  • Background Image: Uses the product image as the background of the review section.
  • Frequency: Sets how often reviews appear in the gallery.

Photo Tile hover options (Photowall, Horizontal, Vertical, and Coverflow layouts).

  • Photo Tile Hover: Turns the hover animation on or off for desktop users.
  • Photo Tile User Handle: Shows or hides the uploader's name on hover, and sets its font size and weight.
  • Photo Tile Caption: Shows or hides the shopper's caption on hover, and sets its font size and weight.
  • Photo Tile Submitted Date: Shows or hides the submission date on hover, and sets its font size and weight.

The three hover options (user handle, caption, and submitted date) have no effect if the hover animation is turned off.

Full Page Gallery options

  • Navigation Arrows: Lets you customize the left and right arrows and their position. The recommended image size is 50 x 100 px.
  • Caption: Shows or hides captions, and sets their font size and weight. Usernames can't be hidden, so that shoppers always get credit for their content.

  • Product Name: Changes the font size and weight of product names on items with assigned products.
  • Buy Now Button: Changes the font size and weight of the product button on items with tagged products.

Uploader

These settings control the uploader's behavior, workflow, and terms of service. The uploader lets customers submit photos directly from the gallery. You can turn the Upload Now button on or off, and style it, in the Header panel. You can also edit its text manually, including into another language.

  • Review Panel: Lets you require captions, change the caption placeholder text, and enable shopper-submitted product tags for content received through the direct uploader.
  • Submit Panel: Lets you add fields and checkboxes to collect more information from customers, such as location, phone number, or age. Name and email are always requested.
  • Thank You Panel: Sets where shoppers are sent after they submit an item and click Finish.

Localization

Use this section to edit the text of buttons and other messages in the gallery. This includes the Source Panel, Submitting Content, and Uploader Warning text. You can also change the text into another language manually.
