Hi Helen,
I tried to create a new database on the same course (still testing...) using my template which I saved as a preset on preset's filed. When I add a record, there are the fileds I specified on the original database, with same names etc, but with the default visualization template again.
Is that normal? Is there a way to share the template between courses?
Thanks for your help

Hello Atia,
I ran into this same problem when I was creating several of the same database. It may not be the correct solution to the problem but what I did was copy the source code of the template into a simple Notepad document for each of the templates. Then I pasted the same code back into the new course.
Hope this helps at least temporarily. It would be nice if the templates came with.

Hi Helen and Leah,
I just downloaded moodle's latest 1.8 yesterday, so I don't think this is the problem because I am already able to share the template but it only inherits the fields I defined.
By the moment I'm also doing this copy&paste solution, but we'd like teachers to be able to do it by theyrselfs without having to set up again the look&feel
If you guys have another idea I will appreciate it.
Since then, thanks for your help
Salut, Atia

Hi,
We've been migrating from 1.6.5+ to 1.8.5+ lately, 1.6's databases have been migrated too..They are still working but won't get imported in an other course, we must re-create them under 1.8 before importing otherwise we get this message: "New preset has no defined fields" (the export to a zip file or saving to a preset works anyway).
Is there a patch or a "light" change in the code we can apply in order to be able to import zips or save as presets 1.6's migrated databases under 1.8 ?
Thanks in advance, regards
Julien

Hello.. I cannot import presets. I am using v 1.8.8. I browse for the .zip file, click 'Import' and nothing happens. Blank Screen. This occurs on both IE 6 and latest version of Firefox. Does anyone know why this may be happening? I searched the bug tracker but couldn't find anything open for v.1.8+ ... thanks
