Presets

Gantry makes use of a powerful Preset system allowing developers and site builders to create preset styles and configurations.

Creating a custom preset is a very simple task with Gantry. Check out this short video on how to customize your layout then create a custom preset based on your configuration options.

Gantry Presets are a combination of Gantry features and configuration settings which allow you to create predefined groupings for the entire template as well as on a per-menu item basis. Presets can consist of any Gantry configuration option such css style, link color, background and body graphic levels, font settings, and much more.

Creating a Preset

Presets can be easily created from the Template administration interface. First, configure the values that the preset supports using the configuration options listed in the template administration interface. Next, click “Save Custom Presets as New”. This will bring up a modal dialog box that prompts for a Preset Name, as well as an optional Keyname.

When you save this dialog box, the new preset will be available in the preset list. After a preset is created, you can create a thumbnail image in the admin/presets/ folder with the filename structure “keyname.png” where keyname is the Keyname from the modal dialog box. You can remove a preset by click on the “delete” icon on the top right of the preset preview.

With the preset created it will be available in your Presets slider. This preset can then be assigned as the default preset for the entire template display or on a per-menu item basis using the Menu Items selection.
