[yinyang]

awww man, where was this yesterday. *grumble*

loving it man!

[uae]

I'm sure I'll use this one :)

Thanks Dream

Installed here...

[Dream]

updated 0.3 beta

- finished importing xml function
- implemented half mass copy function (not finished)
- some stuff I cant remember

[Dream]

do you guys think you should be able to export regular vB templates aswell? like postbit, navbar etc?

the "custom template" definition is a template that vBulletin's Master Style doesn't have, and a "regular template" is an edited master style template.

not sure why this would be used, but its not hard to implement.

Well, I usually base my templates off of a vb page that is similar, so yeah, it would help. But I would not call it mandatory.

[DS MrSinister]

Great job.. this will come in handy later on..

[Dream]

thanks :)

updated 0.4
- finished copy function
- added view/edit links next to each template
- added install file fuction
- added view templates function

the code is a big mess right now, but it doesnt affect usability. and its done, enjoy :)

[uae]

Thanks Dream, I'll test this as soon as I get home :)

[Barakat]

Great Hack . thanks

[yinyang]

*installed*

cool, thanks!

[uae]

This got to be HOT, great work Dream, installed and working just fine.

[Dream]

this is actually working better than I thought :O its getting the normal edited templates nicely

im thinking about adding a "view templates in history", so you choose the style to see the list, ill see what I can do

[Dream]

right now this is exporting xml/copying/creating install file using wrong template codes, so dont use it :)

[Dream]

updated 0.5

- fixed bug when viewing templates with view and installation file
- fixed bug getting wrong template code for export, copy and installation file, was getting "template" field instead "template_un" (xml compatibility version was raised because of this)
- you can now export / copy / delete vBulletin templates, also you can choose vBulletin templates for the installation file
- added view / save / delete templates from history
- added "save a copy in history" when deleting
- it now has its own admincp menu section

[lazorde]

hi

[lazorde]

aha

isee

[TTG]

Excellent .. this will prove to be very valuable with all the updates due soon.

[Dream]

updated 0.6

- fixed bug when importing templates with a xml file, templates were being created with empty content

[xxskullxx]

Nice work. I was about to report the bug to here, but saw you already fixed it :)

This has been great for deleting 200+ custom templates from 3.07 that I'm no longer using.

[FD929]

I've got RC1 running and get numerous database errors and to be expected. The script is not calling my database. Is this a quick fix edit to the php file or do we need to wait for a re-write?

thanks, :)

anyway some basic operations like viewing templates and exporting are working for me, what exactly were you trying to do?

[ctsolutions]

Great job,Thanks

[nitro]

Hmmm quite nice. only used the kill custom page so far saved me 251 manual reverts so that has to be pretty good, and thats in one style only I have a few others to update to 3.50 ;)

Has to be the hottest admin cp hack going

[nitro]

Seems to have a problem importing custom templates in overwrite mode to a style. Its ok if you revert those templates first tho. ;) Maybe needs fixing up for gold as its an awsum hack

Also a nice addition i think would be able to set to export a set of templates as individual files. Like it uses a temp folder and gzips it then downloads. This would make style updating etc very simple as you could easily use somthing like beyond compare. :)

[michaelbenson]

Been looking for a hack like this for ages, finally i can actually move custom templates

Question: Does it only work with YOUR hack to install the templates?

[hornstar1337]

just wondering if anyone has an answer for mine, as I dont want to install any other skins until i get this working. Thanks

[hornstar1337]

Its been a few days, thought someone would have been able to provide an answer for my question above...i really need this to work guys, some help would be kindly appreciated, thanks

[Supes]

Just installed on VB 3.5.1 and it works great!! What a fantastic hack, just used it to update my navbar to show the arcade link for all my skins. :D

[cheech4487]

Awesome job!!!

[hornstar1337]

[Flow Fusion]

This is a great addition. Thanks.

[Hellcat]

I just installed it into my 3.5.1 and it seems to work flawlessly.

This is just what I needed!
Great Addon!

[divided_by_fear]

i like the mod dont get me wrong but what would be nice to see is a check box next to each difference it found this way you can select which merges you want to install and which you dont... this way you can test each hack out as you merge it and so on... and it would also i think be more user friendly that way

[AWI]

Installed on 3.5.2, let me know if there is any update thanks :)

[TheMusicMan]

Am I missing something or is it not supposed to allow you to copy a modified template from an existing style to a new one?

[Hellcat]

Am I missing something or is it not supposed to allow you to copy a modified template from an existing style to a new one?
Hmm, I did that as well.
If it's a modified default template be sure to check "[action] vBulletin Default Templates" and enable "Allow overwrite".

I copied some of the modified default templates over to other styles, works like a charm :)

[Yorixz]

This hack seems to work correctly on vB 3.5.2 - the only (quite big) error I'm getting is that it can't find the table with the templates, which is correct because it's ignoring my prefix.

Does anyone know a way to solve this?

Um can I can I get an example? Not quite understanding you. Sorry, and Thanks.

k, srry

I guess you now have:

$sql = 'SELECT title, template_un FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "template


Replace that with:

$sql = 'SELECT title, template_un FROM ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'template


so you see, the [" "] have been replaced with [' ']

will it work with 3.6?

[WebsiteDonation]

I like this plugin much and I've made a test. There are many wrong statements with Arrays

Example about the error in Post #77:
- Line 193: foreach ($varname AS $styleid => $templates)
- Line 475: foreach ($varname["$styleid"] AS $template)

Similarly with the error in Post #79. I have to uninstall this. Good idea anyhow.

[Barakat]

its a great hack but need to be upgraded to 3.6.0 coz all the 3.5.x styles works on it but the new 3.6.0 styles wont work and gives errors ,
maybe coz of the code changes..

Hi,

thank you for your interest :)

Download the current "template manager 0.7.zip" archive (first post -> Dream) and the zip file BC-Report.zip attached with this post.
Open the file custom_template_manager.php in your favourite editor
Open the file BC_Report.html in your favourite browser.
I think, everything else speaks for itself. (Hope, it's correct english *urks* sorry).


Fixed lot of warnings (array_merge etc.)
Export is working again.
Compatible with "Merge Templates".

Tested with PHP 4 and PHP 5 and with vBulletin 3.6.0 only :(



Lot of thanks to Dream for this nice addon. I appreciate his works. :)

Not knowing much about this mod, here's my issue:

I've spent countless hours modifying my site's current main style to accomidate many PHP modifications I've implemented over the last 2 years.

Now I'm getting feedback that users want a different style.

Can this mod automatically export all of my modifications & overwrite the code in a new style with these modifications?

OR; is it merely a means of backing up your current style in the event you need to reimport it for whatever reason.

I specifically need something that will take ALL modified templates in 1 style & automatically modify all the same templates in another.
Is this my solution?!?!:confused:

Please help me understand this one a bit better.
