– Gallery Display Mode
(Available Selections Are)
Choice
Flow-Mode
Regular-Mode
I want to make the default view "Site-Wide" to be "Multi-Page Mode" and permanant !
I do not see a selection for "Multi-Page Mode" as it is described here: https://compo.sr/docs/tut-galleries.htm under Viewing galleries.
I do not want members to to have the choice to change the display mode either. I think I know were to change this part.
How do I make galleries "site-wide? to be "Multi-Page Mode" permanantly?

The default is whatever is already most common. i.e. if you had 5 flow-mode galleries and 6 regular-mode galleries, regular mode would be the default.
Unless you set that option you found, in which case the default (and the only available choice) is the option chosen.

You can lock-down the gallery display mode choice for new galleries using the "Gallery display mode" config option. Existing galleries will only allow the display mode to be changed if it is not already matching the value of this option (i.e. you keep your pre-existing gallery settings, but if you then change a gallery to be the same as the locked-down value then it will then also lock-down).
If the choice is not locked-down then the default will be whatever is the current most common display mode used on your site.
