hello. i've imported all my G1 albums into G2. i have maybe 100 albums. the layouts in G1 were smaller and i could fit more columns than in G2. Now i want to change all the layouts. all of my previous layouts had 4 columns. now i want 3, but to change the layout requires changing each and every album.

is there a way to reset all album layouts to the global layout setting?

i just did that.
go to site admin->Layout & Themes->Matrix-> Columns per album page = 4, save.

that did change all albums that use the matrix layout and global settings (for me that were all albums).

thanks for replying. however, for some reason when i imported my albums from G1, none are set to the global setting, so changing the global setting doesn't affect the albums.

is there a way to force all the albums to select global settings? maybe by fooling around with the database?

hmm, first time i do that, so do it at your own risk...
(it worked for me)

DELETE FROM `g2_PluginParameterMap` 
WHERE
g_pluginType = 'layout'  AND
g_pluginId = 'matrix' AND
g_itemId <> 0;

the <> 0 line makes sure it doesn't delete the default parameters, i.e. the one of your root album.

then go to yourgalleryurl/lib/tools/test/
and hit "FlushCache" and "FlushTemplates".

that's it.
