Sure... keep in mind it won't work on all servers though, which is why I didn't put it in in the first place.

Might leave it then - save on the confusion :)

Original (I forgot it, after +30 hacks... :) ) admin/index.php file.
Lines 330...334 .... ;)
What's it ?

Thanks a lot and many compliments for your hard and complete work...
(p.s.: on a linux server, it doesn't manage to create the template directory... :eek: )

This is a must for the next vB edition. Thanks, Chen!

Awesome Chen, thanks for this! :)

This hack is just AMAZING O_O

Thank you so much, Chen!!

My Linux server prevents the export function from working. I also don't own the server. So I made modifications to email the templates. I won't post my entire modification since it is so system specific. Once the zip file is created on a particular system, this code will ship it out.

PHP Code:


		
			
// Prepare email

echo "Preparing email and attaching file $zipfile...";



$mail_boundary = "----=" . md5(uniqid(time()));

$mail_headers = "";

$subject = "vBulletin templates file for $bbtitle";

$mail_headers .= "From: \"vBulletin Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>\r\n";

$mail_headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";

$mail_headers .= "Content-type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$mail_boundary\"\r\n\r\n";

$mail_headers .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\r\n\r\n";

$fp = fopen("$tmppath/$zipfile", "r");

$file = fread($fp, filesize("$tmppath/$zipfile"));

$file = chunk_split(base64_encode($file));

$mail_body = "--$mail_boundary\r\n";



$mail_body .= "Content-type:text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n\r\n";

$mail_body .= "The attached file '$zipfile' contains the vBulletin templates\r\n";

$mail_body .= "from the '$setinfo[title]' set of $bbtitle.\r\n\r\n";

$mail_body .= "--$mail_boundary\r\n";



$mail_body .= "Content-type:unknown/unknown; name=$zipfile\r\n";

$mail_body .= "Content-transfer-encoding: base64\r\n\r\n";

$mail_body .= $file . "\r\n\r\n";

$mail_body .= "--$mail_boundary--";



mail("$email",$subject,$mail_body,$mail_headers);

Why you ask? This could help a lot when upgrading to a new version of vBulletin. Just like you can compare files using programs such as Araxis Merge or Beyone Compare, you can now also compare templates, and easily keep track of changes that were done between versions.
After you save all changes to the template files, you use this script again only this time in the opposite directions - restoring the templates back into the system.
[...]

Sure.

Add a new Template Set, that will use the default templates from vBulletin. Call it Before Upgrade.
Complete the upgrade (this includes the step where you install all the new templates - don't worry, your customized templates will not be damaged!).
Add a new Template Set, that will use the default templates from vBulletin. Call it After Upgrade.
Use this hack to import both template sets (Before and After) to different folders.
Use a comparing program (such as Araxis Merge) to compare the two folders, and then commit every change you find to your live template set (the one you are really using).

That should be it I think, don't forget to backup everything before you do this. :)

Thank you very much...
Sorry, but didn't understand.
Now I have only the 'default' template set: how could I assign all the templates simply adding a new set 'before upgrade' ?

Much probably I lack some basic information about templates and sets (and styles ... see here), but where could I read some FAQ or introduction about the VB concept of this matter ?
