[vbhacker] Advanced Template Editor

[Mutt]

I love that VB uses templates and I'm always looking for ways to make it easier

Template Editor by Mutt
adds HTML and replacement var instant code buttons to the template editor.

UPDATED 4/23/2002
added basic table and vbtable makers.

whats a vbtable? a vbtable would be something like this

<table cellpadding='{tableouterborderwidth}' cellspacing='0' border='0' bgcolor='{tablebordercolor}' {tableouterextra} width='{contenttablewidth}' align='center'><tr><td>
<table cellpadding='4' cellspacing='{tableinnerborderwidth}' border='0' {tableinnerextra} width='100%'>
<tr><td bgcolor='{tableheadbgcolor}' colspan='3'><smallfont color='{tableheadtextcolor}'><b>Header Text</b></smallfont></td></tr>
<tr bgcolor='{firstaltcolor}'><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr>
<tr bgcolor='{secondaltcolor}'><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr>
<tr bgcolor='{firstaltcolor}'><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr>
</table></td></tr></table>




this uses parts of the improved vbcode.js hack by s.molinari with my bug fixes
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24033&highlight=vbcode.js

Simply upload the 3 files to your admin dir.
run install using vbHacker.

(I modified this hack and used it to return to the add template page as well)

I was going to make 1 vbhacker file with all of these but didn't know if that would work for everyone.

[dxb]

Another great one Mutt well done :)

[Admin]

Great job. :) Won't use it but a great hack nonetheless.

[Mutt]

I made a basic table maker and a vbTable maker. Will be updating the zip soon. Anything else that should be added before I do?

[Mutt]

if you already installed and want to update just upload the 2 new js files then open template.php and replace the dotemplatejavascript function with the new one I attached to this post

[Mutt]

here's a screen shot with the calculator window and the table maker window open

i have a problem

when i get here

vbHacker: Step 4 - Manual changes

i says

In the admin/template.php file, replace this code:

maketextareacode("Template<br><br><font size='1'>".iif(isset($title),makelinkcode("view default template","template.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=view&title=$title",1)."</font>",""),"template",$template,25,80);

With this code:

But the template is empty

and the same with the other one to edit

[Mutt]

thats correct, you are deleting those lines.

[Jawelin]

Very nice hack. Thanks.

I would use both yours Template Compare and Adv.Editor... but the java_script code at the top of template.php seems conflicting... I can't manage to merge the two versions, even by hand (not using vbhacker...)

Do you have an already merged version of that part ?

Thank you very much.
Bye

[Jawelin]

*BUMP*
Thanks, Mutt...

Simply, I'm trying to use two of your hacks, together...

[wolfe]

well i have done what you said Mutt

but not the template has disserpierd

heres a screen

[CeleronXL]

Uh... I need to uninstall it because of the freaking slashes ( \'s ) it keeps adding to all my templates (ok well, not all, but all of the original ones). I don't know how to though since you delete those lines and I don't know where to put them back in.... A few other people have the slash problem too and need to uninstall... Could someone make a vbhacker uninstall for this?

For me, it treats the templates, which are HTML, as PHP scripts. It inserts slashes after stuff like

align=/'center/'

And stuff like that, thus canceling out whatever code was there.

Installed and works like a charm. Thanks!

[Kinox]

here is MUTTs hack...

its a vbhacker 1.0.2 hack vb2.2.6

+ with few addons...

return, returns you to the template you are tying to edit

One problem i found if you hadnt already hacked the template and went to go to change original it would bring up a blank template which in my minds is ether a useless feature which is annoying or a bug.

I just wanted to edit a template i had enver edited before.

But everything else seems correct just only on temps already edited

Maybe someone knows a fix
