Manager doesn't load tablet json defaults when configure individually is pressed?

We have a different left image configured for desktop and tablet in our custom VTE.  This works great the first time we installed the vte with the post install manager.

 

However, when editing a viewer in the GE Manager the interface defaults to "Configure Simultaneously."  This loads the desktop version into the fields by default.  If you click "Configure Individually" the fields on the tablet tab are filled in with the desktop json defaults and not the tablet json defaults.  This behavior then requires a manual change of the left image on the tablet tab for any new viewer added to a site.

Is this correct behavior within the admin inteface?

I am well aware that we could work around the admin interface to have the correct image display but I figured the default tablet json file would load when you select the tablet tab.

  Hi Tyson -

   

  Let me first explain the behavior you are experiencing and then recommend a couple of ways to set up the interface to respect your Tablet shell configuration.

   

  Most of the pages in GE Manager allow for shells to be configured either simultaneously or individually.  When the shells are configured simultaneously, one of the shell configurations is used to configure all three shells. By default, this is the Desktop shell.  In your case, the "Look and Feel" page is opening in "simultaneous configuration" mode with the Desktop shell configuration being applied to the other two shells.

   

  To allow the "Look and Feel" page to open in the individual configuration with the Tablet shell configuration properly respected, you have two options.

   

  First, you can make your Tablet configuration changes in GE Manager rather than through the Tablet.json.js file.  You would do this by setting the "Look and Feel" page to the individual configuration, making any necessary changes to the Tablet shell, and saving the changes.  Going forward, the "Look and Feel" page should open in the mode that you saved it - that is, the individual configuration mode.

   

  Your other alternative is to make a small modification to the Viewer\Management\Config\Meta.json.js file.  You would first make any configuration changes to the Tablet shell in the Tablet.json.js file.  Then you would modify the Meta.json.js file to modify the view named "LookAndFeelSectionView" to set the "expandedShells" property to "true".

   

  The change would look like this:

   

   "views": [

   

      ...

   

      {

   

        "expandedShells": true,

   

        "name": "LookAndFeelSectionView"

   

      },

   

      ...

   

  ]

   

  Either of these approaches should work for you.  Please let me know if you have any more questions.

   

  Regards,

   

  Steve
