Creating preset files
To create a preset file, open a project in a copy of QuarkXPress that is running QuarkVista
XTensions software, select a picture box that contains a picture, apply effects to the picture,
and then click the Save Preset button on the Picture Effects palette. The effects you apply
are saved in a preset (.vpf) file at the location you indicate. (By default, preset files are
stored in the location specified in the Picture Effects pane of the Preferences dialog box.)
To use preset files in QuarkXPress Server, copy them to the folder indicated by the Picture
Effects Presets field in the Picture Effects pane of the QuarkXPress Server Preferences
dialog box (QuarkXPress Server menu).
Using QuarkVista XTensions software
To indicate which preset file should be applied, use the applyvistaeffect parameter.
To indicate which picture box the preset file should be applied to, use the vistabox
parameter. The URL syntax is as follows:
http://[server]:[port]/[namespace]/[path]/[projectname]?applyvistaeffect=[preset
file name]&vistabox=[picture box name]
For example, consider the following URL:
http://QXPServer:8080/abc.qxp?applyvistaeffect=color.vpf&vistabox=pb2
In this example, color.vpf is the name of the preset file containing the QuarkVista
effects, and pb2 is the name of the box to which the preset file is applied.
You can apply the same preset file to multiple pictures using a single URL. For example,
consider the following URL:
http://QXPServer:8080/abc.qxp?applyvistaeffect=color.vpf&vistabox=p1,p2,p3
Here, the color.vpf preset is applied to the picture boxes named p1, p2, and p3.
If the picture in the target box is not compatible with the QuarkVista effects in the preset
file, an alert displays in the Web browser. If Log Errors is enabled (QuarkXPress Server >
Server Configurations > Logging tab), an entry is made in the QuarkXPress Server error
log file.
If the specified preset file that contains the QuarkVista effects is not in the preset location,
an alert displays in the Web browser. If Log Errors is enabled (QuarkXPress Server >
Server Configurations > Logging tab), an entry is made in the QuarkXPress Server error
log file.
If you specify multiple picture boxes in a URL, and the picture in one of those boxes is not
compatible with the QuarkVista effects in the preset file, the effects are applied to the
remaining files.
