serve template from filesystem instead of DB

[fxdigi-cash]

Hi,

I'm trying to serve the template from filesystem instead of DB so I followed this short tut here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum...to-file-system

there is another tut has been around for a while, but it doesn't work anymore since vb has made a lot of updates and changes: http://www.go4expert.com/articles/ex...-files-t25345/

what I did is the following:

1- created a folder in the root named template_dump with CHmod 0777
2- turned on your debug mode $config['Misc']['debug'] = true;
3- created the files visiting this url on my forum: http://FORUM_NAME.com/admincp/template.php?do=createfiles&dostyleid=your_active_ style

4- moved the folder template_dump to under includes ( includes/vb_templates )
5- in includes/class_core.php --> replaced protected static function fetch_template($template_name) with can protected static function file_get_contents (DIR. '/includes/vb_templates/'.$template_name.'htm')

after all that my forum doesn't work... sounds like there is something wrong...

any idea what's going on?

Thanks

Update: I made a mistake posting in vb3 section where this actually supposed to be on vb4
