November 2019 Updates for Backlight 2

Updates are now available for both Backlight 2, and its Theater Add-on.

Following on from this conversation thread, new metadata options are now available for customizing the IMG alt attribute for gallery thumbnails when using pangolin-album.

It’s also now possible to view all images in a paginated gallery in a single page, using a URL parameter. For example, if the image gallery address is:

domain.com/galleries/album-name

Then you can view all images on a single page by applying “page=all” to the URL:

domain.com/galleries/album-name?page=all
