How to use filename as a title for images in Gallery Block in 7.1 in 2022 ? Please and thank you.

I am trying to get a gallery block in 7.1 to display the file name as the Title.

I have "show title" ticked in Design panel.

I have tried some scripts from the forum, but they dont seem to work with 7.1

As I have hundreds of images to upload, i dont want to manually type the "Titles" in when the title is correct is the file name I upload. 

Any help, most appreciated.

With thanks

Adrian

You can try this code, if you haven't entered caption, the code will get file name as caption

Old topic, but incase anyone is still in need of a solution, here is how I do it with jQuery.

I apply the code per page as I only use it on specific gallery pages made for client previews.

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.4.min.js"></script>

<script>
    // Function to replace image-slide-title content with alt tag for images within sqs-gallery-container using jQuery
    $(document).ready(function() {
      $('.sqs-gallery-container img').each(function(index) {
        $('.image-slide-title').eq(index).html($(this).attr('alt').replace('.jpg', ''));
      });
    });
  </script> 

Hi Ian,

do you have by any chance a code for some know metadata issues of Squarespace?!

Gallery Blocks are supposed to import TITLE and DESCRIPTION.

BUT they import FILENAME and DESCRIPTION which is a mess.
I d be happy if you can help with that issue?!

Squarespace wasn t able to fix this in over a year. 🙂

All the best and thanks a lot.
