Designer Mode and Pages CSS

I've found it. But it seems that I cannot download Page CSS after disabling Designer Mode. I can only see HTML templates for download. 

Correct. The items would only be functional with the system with Designer's Mode enabled. Otherwise, the system reads/writes this in the database.

With Designer Mode enabled I cannot export at all:

With Designer Mode disabled I can export only HTML Templates:

Does it work as desired?

Believe you're looking at two separate things here. The export functionality of the Pages section is for transferring your templates/css/etc... to another installation. Designer's mode is for editing your theme through an IDE in a development environment.

This is exactly what I would like to do after I have altered CSS in Designer Mode. 

  • I have enabled Designer Mode
  • I have changed CSS
  • I have disabled Designer Mode
  • I would like to transfer templates and css to other installation

I can transfer HTML Templates by downloading them (s. screenshot above). How do I transfer CSS? I cannot select Pages CSS in the download screen.

There is no export currently for other files in Pages.

This answers the question. Thanks. I do not have any plugin, theme or application. I just export database and templates as XML to import them manually on other installation(s). 

I wonder why export is limited to HTML Templates only. Database templates are rarely useable without CSS part.

I can certainly move this topic to our Feature Suggestion forum if you would like?

Can I Second this please.

I would have thought this would have been part of the export process since Pages templates would use CSS and JavaScript.
