XML Importing [templates & phrases]

[Johannes de Le?n]

Could anyone tell me if this is the correct syntax while coding VB3 XML files, please?

Phrases:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<language name="shouldgetreplaced" vbversion="version here" type="phrases">
<phrasetype name="Group1">
<phrase name="variable1"><![CDATA[Phrase to be added1]]></phrase>
<phrase name="variable2"><![CDATA[Phrase to be added2]]></phrase>
</phrasetype>

<phrasetype name="Group2">
<phrase name="variable1"><![CDATA[Phrase to be added1]]></phrase>
<phrase name="variable2"><![CDATA[Phrase to be added2]]></phrase>
</phrasetype>

</language>

Can someone explain me the language name variable, and which other options are available?

Templates:

<style name="Custom" vbversion="version here" type="custom">

<templategroup name="templatetitle1">
<template name="templatetitle1" templatetype="template" date="date here" username="author" version="version here"><![CDATA[ALL TEMPLATE CODE HERE]]></template>
</templategroup>
</style>

And please do explain me where the templategroup name and the template name differ, and where are they used.

One last question, how do I upload them without erasing the current styles, but just adding the information to them?

Thanks in advance.

any reason you are custom codeing the xml files?

I mean whats the point? You can manage and add vB templates and phrases though the admincp fairly simplier

probably a hack installer.

I mean whats the point? You can manage and add vB templates and phrases though the admincp fairly simplier I know. But my pc is not something I would brag much about. And for instance when you have to add like, let's say 25 phrases and 10 templates, it is much easier to do it with a XML file rather than one by one, since my pc works well with "text" files.

Since you didn't comment the code, I suppose it is correct, right?

No Idea if it is correct or not, I've never even used raw xml's to import single templates (as they are designed to import styles so other data might be needed fyi)
