How to reset the preset for existing sites?

[patil]

I have sites with the dafault preset in my production server.

Now I need to remove some of the dashlets for the existing sites. I have changed the presets.xml for my new configuration.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<presets>
   <!– Well known preset used to generate the default Collaboration Site dashboard –>
   <preset id="site-dashboard">
      <components>
         <!– title –>
         <component>
            <scope>page</scope>
            <region-id>title</region-id>
            <source-id>site/${siteid}/dashboard</source-id>
            <url>/components/title/collaboration-title</url>
         </component>
         <!– navigation –>

The new preset is working fine for the new sites. But it is not getting applied for the sites created with the default preset.
How should I fix this?
Is there any java api directly to do this?

Thanks,
Patil

You can use Node browser in the Web client. I think you need the site store or something. Or ftp into that store and go down the sites and find the config files. Then you can edit stuff.

I also think you can do it via javascript, access the site config. Something like this remote webscript url:
"/s/remotestore/create/alfresco/site-data/components/page." + component + ".site~" + site + "~" + type + "?s=sitestore";   

So look into those webscripts, maybe it will give you a hint.
