Templateconvert from vB3 to vB4

[punishment]

Warning: This Mod is only for developers! Don't use this in live boards.

With this script you can convert vB3 templates to the vB4 syntax. You can make backup from the old templates, to a later error compare.

Before you merge the templates you can compare old and new syntax.

The folder /dev/backup => CHMOD 0777.

Good Luck. ;)

vrey great job thank you

[treyb]

Great Idea

[Charlie98902]

Wow, after I redid it all manually. I am sure there is some waiting on something like this though.

[Trek]

Nice! There are a few more mods I want to convert, this should come in very handy, thank you!

[Sador]

Hm. I hope there will be a version that can be used by non-developers as well, cause this would be one of the best mods available right now.

[cad2go]

I asked would this be included as part of the vb3->vb4 upgrade. I may as well have asked for the moon.

Thanks a lot for releasing this.

[MARCO1]

Very Good, I will install it in my tests forum

Installed and Rated 5 stars.

[Zaiaku]

Anyone besides me thinking that shis should of been a stand tool for vb4? This could of help so many people on day 1.

[scan-pa]

Nice, great job. This is something else that jelsoft should have had built in vB4.

[gothicuser]

What a damn good idea, thankyou.

[Mukashi]

This, and a converter for style colour schemes (changing the main CSS variables to the Stylevars) should have been included in the vB4 package as standard IMO. Nice job.

[BoYagoob]

Installed and 7 stars ;)

Thanks a milliooooooon ..

[mabersoft]

What would be good is if some one made this into a program that you simply inbut the vb3 style xml and it auto changes to vb4 so you don't need to edit one bit the program does it for you.

Hmm, 'spose we can but dream https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

[Zachery]

This only updates the syntax, and I'm pretty sure is intended for developers. This wouldn't have updated your templates to be compatable with vBulletin 4 features, or its css.

[kisanjong]

Hmm, 'spose we can but dream https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

i agree and if dreams do come true :P - it deserves mod of the year :D

Hi I tried just dumping this in my vbull root but then the mysql IN() isnt populated so I assume I need to select a hook and paste contents on index.php into the textbox. But do not know what hook to use

[Michael.A]

trying to convert this to vb3...

[parks72]

thanks i will check it out..............

[rob01]

we also need to find a way out to update the php files

from vb3 to vb4

[final kaoss]

It would be great to see this product receive updates until vb5 comes.

[nacaruncr]

someone can explain me how i have to do for transform one style vb3 to vb4?
I don't understand, what i have to do?
excuse me, but it's new for me :S

[Trip3151]

It would be great to see this product receive updates until vb5 comes.

LOL let Vbulletin get Version 4 right first :)

[final kaoss]

speaking of which, is it working with vb 4.1.5?

[Hornstar]

I'll give this a go in a bit. Trying to update a couple old vb3 mods to vb4. Hopefully this will take care of the templates. Now I just need one for the php files.
