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.

@TaMpE - those templates listed are different from the default vBulletin templates, I would assume you have a non-default style installed. If you wish to use TMS to further modify them, you can do so in that section.

If you wish to use TMS modify a template which is default (and as such not listed under the styles tree), you do so under the MASTER style in TMS. Any such modification will then be inherited by custom styles.

When I installed TMS, I went through all my non default templates and created TMS rules to make the modifications for me, and then reverted all my templates. My entire sites style is the result of TMS rules only applied to the default style - no actual direct template edits.

Any idea how to correct this.
It appears when I am trying to import the xml of package.

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.2:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT templateid
FROM vbtemplate
WHERE
edited=1
AND title IN ('footer');

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'edited' in 'where clause'
Error Number : 1054
Request Date : Monday, April 20th 2009 @ 05:41:58 AM
Error Date : Monday, April 20th 2009 @ 05:41:59 AM
Script : ...plugin.php?do=productimport
Referrer : ...plugin.php?do=productadd
Classname : vB_Database_MySQLi
MySQL Version : 5.0.75-community-log

I just added "edited" field into template table of database as THINYINT with size 1 and default value 0. Then installation went correctly - but I don't more need this plug - so unintslling

Thank you so much for helping me out. It's going to be a really nice plugin if it allows us to edit all at once! lol

mod of the year...

[Mrdby]

I was trying to remove and got this.

* Removing old Template-Modifications ... Done!
* Removing all Template-Modifications from Templates ...
Warning: Unknown([path]/includes/adminfunctions_templateedits.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/admincp/plugin.php(1522) : eval()'d code on line 10
Fatal error: (null)(): Failed opening required '/hsphere/local/home/*****/*****.net/forum/includes/adminfunctions_templateedits.php' (include_path='.:/hsphere/shared/apache/libexec/php4ext/php/') in /hsphere/local/home/****/****.net/forum/admincp/plugin.php(1522) : eval()'d code on line 10

and the screen hasn't refreshed yet.

[ragtek]

it seems that you have deleted adminfunctions_templateedits.php and it's needed for the de installation

[fukdawrld]

Thanks for this great hack but it is causing an error on my board. When I try to edit a template or use the style manager my screen looks like this




When I disable the TMS it looks normal. I tried reinstalling and reupping the files but that didn't work. Thanks in advance for your help.

[Andreas]

It seems like you are using a strange/uncommon content compression configuration

Check php.ini/.htaccess settings
zlib.output_compression
zlib.output_handler
output_handler
output_buffering

Check settings for apache modules mod_deflate, mod_gzip

Check vBulletin GZip setting

GZip really should be turned on only once.

Hey, this mod has been amazing, life saver for me thus far. But now I have a problem, the navbar template is jsut gone from the mod. Anyone have any idea? It's just navbar under navigation/breadcrumbs, not navbar_link or anything

[dancue]

When using IE I noticed that the inactive edits are not crossed out. I just noticed.
