Allow setting defaults for media-gallery content type fields

I would also like the option to set the defaults, and in addition to prevent those fields from appearing on the node add form as well. On my site - and, I'd bet, most using this module - I want all my gallery nodes to have the same number of nodes and columns. I have a hunch this is already planned functionality, I'd like to hear from the maintainers on this issue before thinking about submitting a patch.

I have the same problem.

@Cogito: Can you say, how i can edit the data-field (longblob) in the 'field_config' database table.

Thanks for your Help.

THe more I think about it, the more I think that the gallery setup should be site-wide, or at least collection-wide so that there is some flexibility once multiple colletions are available.

A temporary solution without direct hacking the db: user form alter to set default value:

function MYMODULE_form_media_gallery_node_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state) {
  if (arg(1) == 'add') {
    $form['settings_wrapper']['presentation']['media_gallery_allow_download']['und']['#default_value'] = 0;
  }
}

This is a dirty solution without language checking, just really quickfix

I'd like to unlock mine to give the option of public or private file location. Any idea how to do that?

Thanks

Count me in too. All I want to do is hide some of the fields for certain users when they create new galleries. The easy way is to use content access but the fields are locked. Is there an easier way to modify these forms other than overrides?

This is somewhat related to #1329358: Configurable defaults and access policies for gallery settings

Has anyone come up with a good workaround for this?

I though this was already a feature?!
