Using presets not working
Posted 12 years 3 weeks ago
I am trying to make a whitelabel site that can have a few styles applied and different logos per preset.
I can see that I have a Master Style, then I create an Override, then when the override is right for the style I want I would like to make a custom preset.
Ok so when the custom preset gets saved with its name then I should if I understand correcty be able to use a query string argument variable to change the style.
url.com?presets=mycustompresetname.
Is the above right - if so I cant get it to work using Alerion ? Tried posting over there but no one seems to know, sorry to repost here but I am under some pressure to use this as a solution or move on.
Thanks for any help.

Ok some things I have learned through trial and error.
Once you save a preset - you cant click save after making a change and expect the preset to save with that edit. A preset is more like a final snapshot. So edit your override that WILL get saved - delete the preset and save as again with the same name to change something in the preset.
the first line shows the override template so long as its assigned to that menu item.
Then the presets show the presets.
A working way to get the 2 versions I need is to have two overrides that can hold the edits and keep getting saved. Then to finalise them and save as a preset.
Will try this and report back. One thing that is interesting is the variable
contentstyle="preset5" it seems to work as some kind of override too. I need to experiment with making this a unique name.
