Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Template Modification System

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.

I uninstalled this mod on 4.2. Now admincp is blank. How do i make my admicp show as normal.
I have click on rebuild style but still getting black page please help.

[Naijasite]

when i uninstalled this product from 4.2 admincp Manage Products Plugin Manager is showing black page. Styles & Templates links is also showing blank page. please help me out.

[Alan_SP]

Try to install it again. What happens then?

[Naijasite]

i cant install it again because (Manage Products Plugin Manager Add New Plugin Download / Upload Plugins) (Style Manager Style Generator Search in Templates Replacement Variable Manager Download / Upload Styles Find Updated Templates)

are showing blank page after i unstalled TMS. At the moment there is no way i can install or uninstall new mod or plugin.

I have also reuploaded all my admincp file, it still did not solve the problem. Please how do i fix the error?

Try to make upgrade, upload all files and start upgrade script (not sure if it will be possible if you upgrade to same version).

And I know that it doesn't help now, but making backup from time to time is a good thing.
