There is nothing wrong with having the folder in the Admin. Then when you try to backup be sure not to put /admin/templates for the path. Try just /templates. See if that works.

I have 2 backup folders in my admin and it works flawlessly.

Well I still can not get this going.

I have a folder in forums called templates.
I also have a folder in forums/admin called templates.

I had the server change to 777 on nt.

I am running 2.2.1

I am lost as to why it will not write to one of those folders.
I have it setup to go to templates in admincp.

Any more ideas as to how to correct the problem I am having?

Okay,

I got it.

It was the server at fault as the permissions had to be changed.

Great Hack Firefly old buddy old pal!

You're welcome lucky. Glad it's working for you.

Oh my god!

This is fantastic!

Can it be hacked to create a new dir with 777 permissions in a templates folder?

So then we can just specify
templates/newfoldername
and if it doesn't exist and 'templates' is 777, it will create it

Failing that, how about being able to prefix the export like
07012001_filename.html

Nice tho :)

BTW this is not tested, which is why I attached it to the last post.
Let me know if it works, will ya? Thanks. :)

Excuse for a silly question but how to use this hack? Admit I has made upgrade vB. How to me to compare former and present templates? Or I have not understood something?

Am I understanding this correctly? Would this hack let me export templates to individual files, download the files for editing, upload the edited templates to an import directory, and then import the edited templates without having to go through the dreaded copy-paste routine?

If so, I may shoot myself.
