I have a TV where input type is galleryitem and would like to set a default galleryitem in case none is chosen.

What's the correct syntax to set this up, I mean what do I put in the default field?

Something like albumId:galItemId? or how is it done? [ed. note: upiorz last edited this post 14 years, 1 month ago.]

I've tried pasting the whole html output that I get with an item already set on another resource.

<img src="/assets/components/gallery/connector.php?action=web/phpthumb&w=&h=&f=png&src=%2F-%2Fassets%2Fgallery%2F88%2F1879.jpg" alt="" title="villas.jpg">

But nothing, it actually has no output at all sad

Don't have a Gallery install I can quickly try this on, but from the code it looks like it is expecting JSON data like such:

{"gal_id":"15"}

where the 15 is an item ID.

Yes! that was it, I better give my JSON ebook a read, it looks I'll be using a lot of it after all.

Thanks Mark.
