Advanced Template Manager
 

This lets you

- Export / Import custom and vBulletin edited templates
- Copy multiple templates to multiple styles
- Delete multiple templates from multiple styles
- Save multiple templates in template history

Installation

- Upload custom_template_manager.php to your admincp folder
- Upload cpnav_ctm.xml to your includes/xml folder
- Reload your Admin Control Panel, its above "Styles & Templates"

Tip: Deleting a template is the same as reverting it. So if you delete your footer template is the same as reverting the footer template.

Thanks Stoebi for updating this to 3.6

Mee too reserved

Thank You Dream I Waited This Product

Looks great!

thanks, great release

I have the old version installed, Should i upgrade to this version, if so what is the procedure?

No need bashy, just update custom_template_manager.php if you want.

Nice idea :)

Ok m8 cheers :)

thanks this alway been a useful hack..:)..glad you updated...:up:

I think I might use this, comes in handy, thanks

Although the last version worked just fine I upgraded to this one and I like this a bit more the layout seems different?

This will be VERY useful!

thanks so much!

Looks nice, will check it out.
This looks like it may make it easier when upgrading.
I use BeyondCompare to update all the templates and it is always a pain creating the compare files with copy/paste.

This is just a repost of Stoebi's version, he may have changed something in the layout.

thanks a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot ... ...

This is similiar to a 3.0.x release which i requested so many times to be ported to 3.5.x and now it is finally here for 3.6.x thanks heaps, ive been waiting for a while lol. thanks.

Superb!This hack is so useful and i'm sure alot of us will have use for it.Thanks!Good job!

questions.....

i have only one skin inm y forum which is fullyd modded and plugged and modified..
so if i add another skin can i have all the modifications working in this new one?
or should i make all the templates edition again in all new skins? IF YES then what is this template manger about?

REGARDS!

On test server. :cool:

You could use this mod to copy all your modified templates to the new style.

THOUGH, I would recommend you to use the modified style as a parent style for sub styles that would use the same modifications. It's a lot easier to maintain.

You create a style and modify it's templates, then you create a CHILD style that will inherit any modification you have on the PARENT's templates, and you can modify it further from there (colors on the CSS, etc).

Thanks guys for your support, I'm glad this mod is useful to some :)

Don't forget to thank Stoebi, he was the one that ported this hack over to 3.6.x.

Something wrong with xml product file.

Importing dosn't success and gives.

I had that problem too so what I did is click on overwrite and it worked.

Guys you don't import a product with this mod, read the install instructions again.

I think it might be more clear if you included the directory names in the zip file under /upload/.

Thanks a lot for this great add-on to admincp

You just need to copy the two files in their appropriate locations

cpnav_ctm.xml >> includes/xml/
custom_template_manager.php >> admincp/

I'm aware of that. I was suggesting that the author follow convention and pack the files in the appropriate folders under an upload folder. That way there would be no confusion about importing the XML file (see posts a few above this one).

All i can say is X-C-LENT

THANK YOU!!!!!

I really didn't want to have to recode templates for each and every style I uploaded... a great timesaver!!!!

I also agree to make the instructions simpler. I saw the XML file and immediately thought it was a product to import and did try to import it. Got error. Checked install directions again. And followed exactly.

What is the difference(s) between your hack and this one, if any? And can you use both add-ons without a conflict?

No answer? :(

Not sure sorry, I don't use that hack.

im late with the accolade..., but this is a great hack... im surprised this isnt more popular...

I was wondering the same thing, not many installs. Maybe because it's not supported, I know myself try to steer clear of un supported mods. Soon as you get use to them vB gets updated and then the mod never gets updated.. What's really the point of even making a mod if your not going to support it? I have never really understood the concept behind that one.:confused:

Dream chooses to not "officially" support the mods, but if you read each of the mod release threads you will see that Dream provides excellent support. I just think that Dream does not want to feel obligated to do so, but provides support whenever possible - just no obligation to do so.

I agree. If anyone is going to make a mod, they should support it. But, like yoyoyoyo said, Dream does provide support sometimes, but I am talking about other authors who do not provide support at all. To me that is a waste of bandwidth. :confused:

I guest it works the same like TMS right ?

A mod being supported doesn't mean it'll be updated when a new version of vb comes along.

I choose to not support my modifications because I already offer them for free, support should be done by members who have interest in them to give something back to the community. That hardly happens though. Still I always respond to reasonable messages on my free time.

Giving support is time consuming and frustrating. Don't take my word for it, create a popular mod and give support for it and let's see how much fun you have while doing it.

I don't think so, but I don't use TMS to be sure.
