Template Modification System Description
This modification allows easy management of template modifications.
Hack authors can define the necessary template modifications for their products.
When exporting a product, all template modifications assigned to this product
in MASTER style will be embedded into the product XML and imported on the
end-user vBulletin installation automatically if TMS is available.
Alternatively, it is also possible to create separate XML files for template modifications.
This way, 3rd parties can provide Template-Modification XML files for existing hacks.
Hack authors can also export standard template modification instructions as
textfiles to package them with their hacks, which allows users that do not
have TMS to also install them
In case the author defined modifications do not work (eg. the user uses a custom style),
the users can easily customize the modifications for their style(s).
TMS modified templates transparently, e.g. all Templates can still be modified
manually in style manager - they will appear unchanged there.

Tried to create an accoutn there but do not have access to D/L
Waiting paitiently for its release here...
Previous use of TMS under 3.x proved invaluable
Bug Report/Code Typo

Hook: admin_complete
call to function cad_administer('canadminstyles') - should be can_administer('canadminstyles')
PHP Code:
global $deletetemplates;
if ($_POST['do'] == 'dorevertall' AND !empty($deletetemplates) AND $vbulletin->adminloggedin AND cad_administer('canadminstyles'))
{
$vbulletin->db->query_write("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "templateedit WHERE styleid = " . $vbulletin->GPC['styleid']);
require_once(DIR . '/includes/adminfunctions_templateedits.php');
rebuild_template_edits($vbulletin->GPC['dostyleid'], array_keys($deletetemplates));

You have to add vbulletin-germany.org to your list of approved support locations in your member options of vbulletin.com. Then those sites can validate your license, and you'll be able to download the code. Here's a link to the place where you can activate those sites (you must be logged into vbulletin.com: http://members.vbulletin.com/membersupport_priority.php
Added later:
I sure hope Andreas uploads an English version soon. I'm not certain, but it looks like the 1.2.0 Beta 2 version still has issues. Has anyone tried it yet? My German is pretty rusty, but I get nervous when I see several database errors.
Yeah I worked out the approval thingy, had to go to my members vb account page an tick it to the list. An yeah got it. Haven't tested it though. Am pondering just waiting for the English build.
can any one explain how is this add-on any different from the default TMS which vb has by default ?
This plugin allows for much more control over how the templates are edited and which ones. For example what type of edit it's performing like a before, after, or a replacement the searched code within a specified template not the whole style. I had hoped when I got the upgraded version of vBulletin that this would be the case, but as you can see the vB team didn't quite get it right since all it does is a simple replace in the entire style.

thanks for the clarification, so I am adding this up
until vb4 reaches some where close to my liking, I am not gonna upgrade my forums to 4 series, hopefully by then a 4.x version is released for this add-on
