Patrick,
just a short answer before starting into weekend: I cannot reproduce this
behaviour, everything works as expected when changing the colors following
your description. Probably your browser caches an old version of the style?
Check your browser settings and make it look for new page versions on every
access...
And you have to be in the same site where your microsite is stored when
previewing the contents not in the root site (/).
Have a nice weekend!

Betreff: Re: AW: AW: [opencms-dev] Opencms6.0 beta2, microsite,
_configuration
Thanks Andreas, it is working now.
I spent some time trying to understand what happened, and I found the
following reproductible behaviour, which I think is not normal.
Here is how you can reproduce it (I did it twice):
- I create a microsite ('test' is his name) and do NOT fill in the
style_main_configpath field
- I create an index.html in the microsite root folder and fill dummy
content.
- I publish the site, background color is white. Normal.
- I edit the microsite's 'style_main_configpath' to
'/test/_configuration/' (with a '/' at the end as per your email)
- I publish it
- Background color is still white. Normal this is the default value of
the _configuration/configuration_css file.
- I change the value of the _configuration/configuration_css file
(property 'content background') of the microsite folder.
- I publish it.
- the changes do NOT appear! Neither in Offline nor in Online mode.
Background is still white. Oups...
now the fun part:
- I replace in the microsite folder 'style_main_configpath' property
'/test/_configuration/' by the full path:
'/sites/default/test/_configuration/'.
- I publish
- In OFFLINE mode: I do see my changes! Background is blue.
- In ONLINE mode: I still do NOT see the changes! Background is white.
- I re-edit the 'style_main_configpath' property of the microsite folder
to '/test/_configuration'
- I publish
- In OFFLINE mode: the background has reverted to white. (!)
- In ONLINE mode: the backgournd is blue. (!)
I hope this helps.
I do have a question though: is there a link in the documentation with
the effect of each property on the template one demo? (some properties
are pretty self explanatory, but... not all of them :=))
OpenCms Rocks!! and Microsites are killers!
Vielen Dank!
Patrick
