SAPro-Source Files with Sculpter Presets

[robert222776]

1. I will pose this question here since this extension's download area is where these source files are found. I am unclear on how to make use of these designs within the context of the available extensions (I have them all). Since html files are provided, I can manually work with the files within DW and the other Adobe products, but I do not see any obvious means of importing a given XML file (that contain style information) to create style sheets.

2. I am able to export files, that essentially duplicate (no quite but almost) the above files for any of the designs, using the Preset Manager. In this case there are only images and xml files, no html, so a manual starting point outside of the WA extensions is not as straight forward without using XSLT.

Please enlighten me on both 1 and 2 above, on how to use the appropriate extensions to leverage my time better (as opposed to the manual method)

Thanks,
Robert

Ok, I answered #1 myself by opening the html file and finding the styles in the head area....and it appears to correspond with the xml files for the styles, so that leaves #2 above. What if I did not have the files you provided in #1, and just had the Preset Manager. How does WA see it being used beyond generating the images and XML? Again, outside of using XSLT to generate HTML from the XML, is there another step using the extensions that I am not aware of?

Thanks,
Robert

Using CSS Sculptor you can customize the SiteAssist Pro layouts with the presets. There is a How To on using CSS Sculptor and Menu Writer together to create custom layouts for SiteAssist Pro, here is a link to it:

It can be found on the SiteAssist support page in the How To area, here is a link to the support page:

The reason that we make these presets available is because of the many requests we have had for them in the past. You can use them in conjunction with the tools to customize the SiteAssist Pro layouts or you can use the source and completely customize then to fit your own needs. The files are meant to be loaded into the preset manager for CSS Sculptor.
