You should never ever modify templates in MASTER style (unless they are templates of a product you are deveoping).

Voila' ... the modifications were done on all templates. I was impressed!


I thought that was the point: Modify only the MASTER template manually, and all your other style templates are automatically modified along with that template ... and revertable back with a single button click? At least it would make sense to me that that is the way it would or should work.

You can't 'uninstall' templates vir product manager, only producst?

Yes, I know you can't uninstall templates via the product manager but what I said is that I went to uninstall a "product" (also called "add-ons") that required manual template edits. Those required manual template edits for that product were done on the MASTER template using the TMS system and when I hit the Revert button, they didn't revert, as the button seems to indicate, ... it's very misleading.


Quote:
If you manually modified a template in MASTER style, TMS won't ever revert those changed - as it has nothing to do with the modifications anyway.
What do you MEAN "it has nothing to do with the modifications anyway"? I modified only the MASTER template! .. and TMS then modified all my other templates the way I modified the MASTER template.... so it has EVERYTHING to do with the modifications, "anyway". Then I don't understand the purpose of this product. Please explain again what it does?

Quote:
It is clearly stated in the readme.txt that TMS puts a branding in the footer.
Oops! You're right. It didn't say however that the branding would be in German and also doesn't say this on this Modifications Forum in this thread. Please add it to the sticky description at the top of each page here so people won't miss it.

Quote:
There is no reason for such action; TMS runs fine on dozens of production sites.
Please then also publish a manual for TMS that shows in detail how to use it. I'm very confused about what this product really does (except for making it super easy to ruin all your templates in seconds at the single click of a button and wind up with German footers at the bottom of EVERY PAGE you didn't think you had to read about in the readme.txt file because such things are important enough that you'd expect them to have to be in a LARGE BOLD PRINT "NOTE:" right on the description page).

All I can say is, this product wasted about 8 hours of my time today because I had to restore a whole database from a couple of days ago because of using this product. Good thing I had backups. CAUTION: IF YOU USE TMS, KEEP BACKUPS OF YOUR SITE... AND WAIT UNTIL FULL DISCLOSURE IS MADE ON THIS PRODUCT ON THE DESCRIPTION PAGE and a MANUAL IS PUBLISHED first on how to use it properly or I still recommend it be retired immediately to the Product Graveyard.

Thanks for the fast response. I hope you fix this soon, if it does what I tried to make it do, I would like to use it!
