change all templates at once

[sk187]

I have somthing like 14 sytles/themes on my board.

When i go to install a hack that involves a template change i have to edit each styles templates individualy. Is there any way to create a hack that can change every styles templates at once?

For example say forumhome needs to be edited the exact same way on every styles templates. To do this i would have to go into every template individualy. I want somthing in the edit template menu to have a option for "all" so i dont have to do them one by one.

Thanks so much

I'm also interested in this, having 25+ different template sets :o

does anyone know if this is possiable?

I am sure it is possible. :) I've already got an idea on how to do it as well, but since I'm pretty new to PHP I can't promise you anything. :)

Here a little screenshot of how it looks so far. :)
Now I'll start with the actual edit code. :)

Update: Guess what, it already works with one templateset, so it should be done very soon. :D Thanks for this great idea guys. :)

thanks for working on it Konqueror it looks real good so far.

another idea would be to have a option that says "all templates" in the template set drop down menu. That way if you edited one template like forum_XXX you cold select "all templates" and it would edit forum_XXX in all the templates and styles at once. Instead of just searching and replacing one string in all the templates.

I dont know if that will make any sense but that is what ive been working on creating but im not having much success.

Well, it's in beta now :)

Telling it to search & replace a string in the complete template database wouldn't be much of a problem I think, but I've had enough coding for a day. ;)
