    Where are Gantry parameters stored?

    Posted 13 years 1 week ago
    • I know that Gantry style presets are stored in the presets.ini file. However, where are the rest of the parameters stored? I thought they were in the database table template_styles, but they seem to randomly change from the default to the values seen in the backend. I would like to be able to back them up somewhere. Please enlighten me as to where they are hidden.

    • On further investigation, all the template parameters are stored in the template_styles table. They can be saved from there and imported into another site. Not easily, but that's where they are. It would be nice to be able to export these parameters from the Gantry backend, save them and re-import them as needed, just like presets.ini. In fact, I don't understand why presets only store such a small amount of the parameters. A preset should store all the parameters. Or perhaps you could have a style preset like currently and then a parameter preset that stores everything.

    • I realized this is an old topic but I'd like to give it a bump. When upgrading 1.5 to 2+ or 3+ it would be really helpful to export the presets and then import them into the new build. I am not much of a programmer but it seems like it would be a database export and then a database import w/ some version checks along the way to make sure everything works ok.
