Great hack, thanks:)

Dont wish to be rude or anything but this is a highly useless hack :P

Yeah if your using child skins, but im not and i don't want to, so this helps me out a s**t load (since currently i have 8 skins) so yeah, its useless but usefull too

Yes, you should ALWAYS have a Parrent child setup

Master
-SkinA
--SkinA Child
-SkinB
-SkinC
-SkinD
--SkinD Child
---Child of Skin D Child

Now adding a template to the master (defautl vB templates) makes things simple, and i dont mean the vB's Master either


Besides if i understand how your doing it now, what happens when you upgrade vBulletin to 3.0.0RC5 or 3.0.1
and the master style gets rewritten?

Agreed 100%.

it would be nice to be able to edit templates and it will alter all the styles if the template is present in it.

You can already do this, its part of vBulletin 3's default features, its called Parrent and Child inheirtence.

Make a at the top most level, and all templates under the top most level will be changed, UNLESS a child already has this template changed.

where is the automatic template add option in admincp??

When you go to add template, theres a drop down menu to add to all templates, but it seems this hack is pointless if you have a prent skin, if not then i suppose it is of some use

I've installed it, I've been wanted to add other skins but couldn't be bothered redoing the hacks, this has saved loads of time :)
