Most likely you have a broken template conditional and thus the template fails to compile, cannot be saved.

Try to open the template in style manager and save it again - do you get an error?

Installed!

I have uninstalled this mod and would like to know how to remove the branding from my site. Why does it remain after uninstallation?

Hmm ... it should not, but that might be a bug - will check that out.

To get rid of it:
- If your footer template is customized - open it and save it again
- If your footer template is inherited from MASTER style, import MASTER style again.

Can this be used on 3.7.x

I don't answer questions from users who don't even care to completey read the first post.

good to go 3.7.2?

Mrdby, yes, seems it's working...;)

thanks!!!!

when trying to edit and clicking on GO. it does not open my styles. Please advise!

Wow,

Can't believe I haven't come across this before. This could have saved me hours of work :P

Thanks a lot!

Thank you. I don't think I fully understand what I have with this mod. But if it helps me with vb upgrades, and reverts. Then its found gold. Thanks

This is anyway an answer LoL.

Anyway at first post he says: Yes it works on vB 3.7.

But isn't the same if you ask for 3.7.3 I think...anyboy tried on that version?

Yeah! Works fine for me :)

Works fine.

can we get an update?

What else would you like it to do?

What should I do if I have template edits already and want to install this mod? Do I have to uninstall revert the templates and start from scratch to make this mod beneficial?

Yes, and you'll thank yourself when you're done. Trust me. Makes upgrades soooooo easy.

Crap. I was affaid someone was going to say that. :(

Can someone post some easy to follow steps for using this mod with template edits in place?

You can just use it for all new template edits if you want. But dude, this thing is awesome for updates. Its really worth it...

I would love to use this, but there isn't any good documentation on what to do or how it's used once installed.

I take it that version 1.1.2 is compatible with 3.7.3 PL1? or no?

Yes it does.

Will this come out for 3.7?

Seems reading is difficult for some people.:)

What documentation do you need? If there are template edits, it always have this kind of documentation in the mod you download: "get this template, find this line, below it add that line" or "find such and replace with this".

Now take your TMS, just do exactly the same as you would with a normal template edit.
In the first box you place the text you have to find in the template.
Then, on the left side you have a selection box to choose from "place above, replace with and place below".
And last on the second box, you place the text which should come above, below or instead off. That's all!

Believe flypaper and believe me. First you do a couple, then you get use to it, and after that (especially when upgrading) you ask yourself why this is not a standard option in vBulletin.
It saves you HOURS of work when you have a lot of mods.

Then why ask the question? He is right you know. Just try with a couple of mods.
The nice thing is that you can do them one by one. A few today, another few tomorrow. You don't need to convert them all at once. So you can do it in your own time.
And if you're done, the first forum upgrade you will perform, you will indeed thank yourself.

hmmm...

After upgrading, I'm no longer seeing all my templates with TMS enabled. I had this issue before, but am unable to find what I had to change last time. Cant find it in this thread, nor in PMs. Andreas?

Ah-ha! This was it. I originally changed it to 8k, which worked at the time. I tried doubling it again to 16k, but that didn't work (neither did setting it back to 4k). Any suggestions?

The whole page needs to be in the buffer, so I'd say you need at least 50K.

Instead of setting a hard limit, I just set it to 'On' and I also tried 128k. When I did that, I got even weirder results: A white page with text, but no templates at all. Since I can't get it working with this latest update, and I can't live without TMS, I have disabled output buffering. If you have any other suggestions, I'd love to hear em. Thanks!

Recently installed TMS but after playing around and reading a good bit I still can't figure out how to use it.
For example... the FAQ here says only customized templates can be modified using TMS... but isn't customizing a template the same thing as modifying it? Isn't customizing it what TMS is for? Clearly, I'm not clear on the concept. Can someone enlighten me?

All I really want to do is add code to templates (maybe sometimes change or remove code) to get the right look for the website... and have some easier way to keep it all intact when doing all those vB upgrades. From those who recommended TMS to me I got the impression that was what TMS is for.

Did you install it? Did you click on the Template-Modifications Manager? It's pretty straightforward and will do exactly what you want.

Yes that's a bit a strange explanation in the faq. It means that you can only change templates with TMS which are made with TMS as far as I understood it.
So yes, TMS is for customizing. You leave the original templates intact and with TMS you make the changes, which are in fact virtual changes because nothings really get's edited in the original templates.
That's what's making upgrading so easy afterwards.:)

You just have to open the Styles and templates section, choose Template Modification Manager and then on the right side select "add template modification".

If you wish to use TMS to modify templates in a specific style, only customised templates can be changed with TMS. Most custom/additional styles will have customised templates which differ from the default MASTER style.

Otherwise use TMS to modify the MASTER style to make changes to default temapltes across all styles that use them.

I think I get it now, but just to confirm: what you have to do is make new templates using TMS and then, therafter, you can edit/modify the new ones you made? ... but I could use it to modify Master style templates if for some reason wanted to do that?
But making new ones works for me. Will have to give it go later today or tomorrow and see if I really know how to do that.

Thanks for the help.

I'm also not clear on some of parameters, vars and such, but I think if I RTF(abulous)M some more the vars concept will click.

No, you use it to modify the DEFAULT vB templates. ALL of my TMS edits are done to the Master style.

OK, I went into the Template Modifications Manager.
Selected Add Template Modifation from the Default Style dropdown and clicked Go.
On that form, the Product is set to vBulletin by default. Left it as it was.
The template I want to modify is navbarheader, so I selected that from the Template dropdown.
Gave it a title and a varname.

Now I don't really know what search and replace is for. Just want to paste some stuff in the template.
Didn't know what else to do at that point, so clicked Save.
Error appears: Please select the processing mode. No idea what is. I don't see anything on the form that says "Processing mode" and wouldn't know what to select if it did.

So what am I doing wrong? ... and tell me again how straightforward this is? :D
I'm convinced this is worth figuring out but it's apparently gonna take some figuring.

Have you ever done a template edit for a hack? Find this, replace with that? Find this, enter this below it? etc?
