HTML settings export

Submitted by marco@flapper on Wed, 2011-09-21 07:43 in

Hi,
I'm making some change to the HTML settings and have some questions:
1. Are the settings saved/safe when I upgrade the plugin ? (just to be sure)
2. Can the settings be exported (and imported)? I want to reuse those settings on another site.

Hi Marco,

They're currently stored in the database and if the plugin was deactivated / activated again they would be restored to the values in pto_default.php but as part of the BETA2 release now due for next Tuesday i'll be including a settings export / import with a convenient mechanism to export current beta settings before upgrade...

Cheers,
David.

Hi,
The export/import function is nice. Isn't it more logical that the plugin uses the stored settings if it is activated/deactivated and that there is some kind of button like 'reset to default settings'?

Thanks, Marco - i'm reading up now on plugin "best practice" regarding settings preservation through activation, deactivation and upgrading...

Cheers,
David.
