Make editor metabox optional
-
Just a little feature request: Please add the “editor metabox” (new in 2.94) as an option to the admin settings. This would give admins better control over what clients/editors are allowed to use.
In aspects of flexibility: Instead of disabling Photoswipe for the entire page/post, it would be better to have an option to disable it for each gallery/image individually.
// Thank you for this great plugin and your support!

Disabling for individual galleries or images is not possible since there is no way to add metadata to control that.
A gallery is created by adding the shortcode [gallery] to a post or with the gallery block in Gutenberg – but this shortcode or the gallery block does not provide an option to add custom data for plugins.
The same for images: there is no way to add additional metadata to an image which could be used to disable that single image to be used in a lightbox (edit: yes, in the HTML code you could add some custom data-attribute, but this would not be visible in TinyMCE and get lost as soon as one edits the image properties with the image property popup in TinyMCE).
Even if I would add some global options like “disable for image 2 and 3 on post 35” or “disable for gallery 3 on post 17” the configuration would be quite cumbersome.
I also don’t see the usecase why one gallery with linked images or one linked image on a page/post should not be displayed in the lightbox while all other galleries are. Do you have an example for that?
About the metabox: I’ll add an option for this in the next update.
