# Set View Block *Article Topics:* [*Blocks*](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/getting-started/common-topics/blocks)*,* [*Design*](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/getting-started/common-topics/design)*,* [*Channels*](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/getting-started/common-topics/channels) ## **Overview** The Set View Block is designed to display the full details of a specific content set, including photos, videos and related metadata. This block is usually used with the [Set List Block](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/content-management/member-areas-and-tours/themes/block-types/set-list-block) to create a frictionless browsing experience between **lists of content** and **individual set pages**. {% embed url="" %} ## **Set View Settings** ### **List Settings Tab** The Settings Tab lets you specify the kind of data to display, which in this case, are content sets. The content itself can be filtered by: * The ID or Slug in the URL - Filtering by the ID or slug in the URL allows you to dynamically display content based on the visitor's interaction with another block, like the Set List Block. * A Set's Specific ID(s) - Filtering by the specific Set ID is useful for when the block should always show the content from 1 specific set. In the Settings Tab, you can define content sources using **Channels**. Content Sets are published to these Channels, and you can select desired channels using the Set View Block based on the content published to them. See the [Channels](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/content-management/channels) article to learn more. ### **Design Tab** The **Design** tab allows you to control how the Set View Block appear. The **Header Row** section provides settings for controlling Titles, links and buttons above or below the media area. * **Show Title Row above or below first media** can be configured to set where the title of the content set is located for the first piece of content if there are two types of content; photo and video. If there is only a single type of content, this setting will control the title. * **Show Photo/Video Links** configures whether or not links to a content set's respective media type,, whether that is photos or videos, appear above Media Area 1 when a content set has both photos and videos available. * **Photo Button Destination** allows you to set where a user is sent once the Photo button above a media area is clicked. * **Photo Button Text** lets you configure the text that appears on the Photo Button link. * **Video Button Destination** allows you to set where a user is sent once the Video button above a media area is clicked. * **Video Button Text** lets you configure the text that appears on the Video Button link**.** The **Media Display** section provides controls for what type of content appears and where. * **Media Area 1 Content** can be configured to display photos, videos, videos first but photos if there are no videos, or photos first but or videos if there are no videos. * **Media Area 2 Content** can be configured to display videos only, photos only, or the content type not used in Media Area 1. * Content type selected for **Media Area 1** appears at the top, while content for **Media Area 2** appears underneath it. Learn more on the [Managing Sets with Videos and Photos](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/content-management/sets/managing-sets/managing-sets-with-both-videos-and-photos) article. * **Use SFW Preview Content** can be used to determine whether the block uses the NSFW or SFW versions of a Set's Preview Content. The **User Interaction** section allows you to enable options like ratings, thumbs up/down, and a favorite button to help visitors engage with your content. {% hint style="info" %} **Please Note:** These are only a few of the ways members can interact with a set. Members can also leave Comments on a Set, which is controlled by a separate [Comment Block](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/content-management/member-areas-and-tours/themes/block-types/comment-block) associated with a set. Learn more about user interact on the [User Interaction](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/content-management/user-interaction) article. {% endhint %} The **Video Settings** are only available when videos are enabled in the **Media Display** section. Here, you can modify various settings, including: * **Video Player** lets you choose the video player type. * Adjust auto-play behavior. * Configure what happens when a visitor clicks the video. The **Photo Settings** are only available when photos are enabled in the **Media Display** section. Here, you can modify various settings like setting the thumbnail count per page, enabling pagination, determining click behavior, and more. These settings include: * **Thumbnails Per Page** for setting the number of thumbnails that are displayed on the page. * **Pagination Enabled** for enabling or disabling pagination. * **Thumbnails Per Row** for setting the number of thumbnails that are displayed in a row. * **Thumbnail Size** to set the thumbnail size by various ratio options or fixed heights. * **Thumbnail Class** to use custom CSS to control the thumbnails in the [Custom CSS](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/content-management/member-areas-and-tours/themes/..#custom-css) section of the theme. * **Clicking a Thumbnail** to set what happens once a photo is clicked, like displaying the photo and photo list or sending a visitor to the signup page. * **Lock Thumbnails After** to designate how many photos to display before adding a lock icon to subsequent photos in the set. Surfers who click the lock will be sent to the signup page. * **Show "Signup for More" button** to display a signup button where visitors can sign up for a subscription. * **Featured Images** to set if and how to show a list of admin-designated featured photos. If your content Set includes downloadable videos, and your Member Area settings permit it, you can manage **Video Zip** downloads directly in your [Member Area](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/content-management/member-area-and-tour-details#available-formats), not within the block. ### Metadata Tab {% hint style="success" %} **Pro Tip**: Think of [Metadata](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/content-management/metadata) as the foundation for how you organize content. You have the power to create and customize metadata types and their properties to build a content structure that works perfectly for your site. {% endhint %} The Metadata tab allows you to display additional information about the content set. You can choose to include any metadata you have set in your system. Some metadata types are provided with your installation, while others can be added manually. You can control how each piece of metadata behaves: * A label (non-clickable). * A link to a static URL. * A link to a CMS page within your currently managed theme. * A link to the signup page. ## **Related Articles** {% content-ref url="../../../sets/managing-sets" %} [managing-sets](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/content-management/sets/managing-sets) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="" %} [](https://docs.toomuchmedia.com/content-management/member-areas-and-tours/themes/block-types) {% endcontent-ref %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
