How to add your own template group
 

If you would like to keep your AdminCp Area nice and clean like i do and are looking for a way to group all those custom templates that say arcade_XXXX all over the place, well lets put them in its own group.

Open includes/adminfunctions_template.php

Scroll ALL the way to the bottom and you will see the following:

Above the 'aaa' => 'AAA Old Backup' You can place your groups name.

For instance if you installed the arcade hack all there templates say:

arcade_blah
arcade_blah
arcade_blah
arcade_blah

Then you would add the following above 'aaa' => 'AAA Old Backup':

Then you would add a new phrase call arcade_hack_templates with the text Arcade Hack Templates.

Now the 'arcade => part means which templates are we going to put in this group. And only the templates that start with arcade. and the $vbphrase['arcade_hack_templates'] part is the name of the catogory/group your templates will be under.

So now you should be able to make your own. Hope this is usefull for new hackers! :)

Thanks for posting this up Ken - hopefully it'll help a few people :)

Thanks everyone, got a few more usefull ones i'll be posting.

Syntax Error Heaven ;)


Plus, vBulletin automatically suffixes the phrases (be they vb'ed or not) with "Templates", so yours would read "Arcade Hack Templates Templates", if you included "Templates" in the vbphrase you add
:)

ahh small typo with the ' opps. fixed.

i cant get this to work for me. For some reason.
