Modify or override the Tiled Gallery template

[cfxd]

In response to https://wordpress.org/support/topic/possible-to-modify-or-override-the-tiled-gallery-template?replies=2#post-6727884

I'd really like to be able to customize the Tiled Gallery template. The specific customizations I have in mind for my project are:

1. Replacing the "original image" that's hosted on the CDN with the actual original image on my server
2. Adding some markup to the gallery itself such as several wrapper elements to enable lazy loading using the padding hack to maintain placeholder aspect ratios

I think these both may go a bit beyond just adding a few filters, but might lend themselves to a more efficient method of overriding the template altogether from a new, custom template file created within the theme directory.

Thoughts?

We'll need to add a filter here to make that possible.

It might be worth trying this small plugin: it enables Lazy Load for Tiled Galleries:

I can try to put together a PR for the filter.

It seems like quite a bit of overhead to add a plugin just to lazy load part of a site, especially when the remaining site may already use a custom (i.e., non-plugin) lazy loading solution.

+1. A site I'm building uses isotope on all the other pages and I'd like to create a template for the gallery to follow the same style.

Add a 'load more' option so galleries with large amount of photos don't take up a majority of the content
