I hope this is the correct thread.
In all the Joomla template demo's when I select a Preset it changes the whole site,
When I install a template and try that myself, cache screws it up royally and each page seem to get it's last cached style. What settings do I need to set so that when a user selects a preset it works for them.
Do I need to change any php setting or just joomla settings.
Thank you for your time!!! - Last Edit: 11 years 9 months ago by Flyershop.

Users are not able to choose a preset unless you're using something like ?presets=preset1 on the end of your URL which will completely bypass the caching issue.
How are they going to choose their own preset without access to the template manager? - B

Hey Ben,
Thanks for your response.
If I use any of the demo's on rocketthemes site and "I" the user select a preset it always stays that preset until "I" select a different Preset which then stays aswell, There are no caching issues when using the demo on any of the demo themes. I would like to set that up the same way and am just wondering what I need to set so caching does not muck up the users choice..
You said "How are they going to choose their own preset without access to the template manager?"
Simple, Just like in the rocket theme demo, click on a preset.
Best Regards

- Maybe I don't understand you question. Doesn't a newly installed RT template offer the same preset menu that the Demo has? What exactly is not working? Can you share a link to the problem?

Hey Ben,
Thanks for your time Ben.
You seem confused, I have a fresh demo installed here:
www.steampunkcalgary.com
Yes it is the exact same as the rockettheme demo. If you switch presets often you will see that
when redirected to the homepage all seems ok, but then when you goto other pages you have been before, templat shows old preset not the one just selected.
So example:
Hompage
goto Styles
select Preset 4 (dark theme)
it will take you to home page
Select in features - Module Positions then
Select in features - Module Variations then
Select in features - Typography then
Select in features - Menuoptions then
Select Preset 1 (light theme)
redirect to home page all is GOOD
NOW Select in features - Module Positions, DARK THEME!
this does not happen in rockettheme's demo
what do i need to set to make it work like the demo

The only way I could make this work was to make a serious modification to the configuration.php file. Beware: This will prevent any components from caching data which could slow down your site and put a greater load on your web server.
Go to your configuration.php file in your site's root directory, find the line that looks like this: public $cache_handler = 'file'; and remove everything between the single quotes. Should look like this: public $cache_handler = '';
I would also clear the Joomla cache manually in Site > Maintenance > Clear Cache and Gantry Cache in the Template Manager. I also had to clear my browser cache and "cookies and other site and plug-in data" in Chrome to see the effect immediately. - B

It just depends on the site's configuration, size, and the visitors throughput. I don't know what the actual effect on your site would be. You may just have to try it. Probably a good idea to backup before you make any changes though. - B
