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'd guess you could probably get them from phpinfo

In the place they are defined, eg. php.ini, httpd.conf, vHost configuration or .htaccess

Where they are defined exactly depends on yoru configuration, so you (so your hoster) is the only one who could tell where to look.

Loving this mod. I really really hope that this will still work with vB4, as this mod is a time-saver, and will be a major factor in succesfully migrating mods and styles to VB4.

Thanks Andreas

There you go - you most likely executed that function with either TMS or Plugin-System disabled => DB corrupted.

Best advice I could give is to reload your backup, sorry.

my backup its too old... 9 days ago... i will try 1st delete and reinstall all styles or upload only template table... and post results

Found a little problem with TMS and don't know how to fix it.

I've got the template "ad_footer_end" customized in my main style.

Now I want to make a little temporary adjustment to it, but now te problem occurs. I use TMS, select the "ad_foter_end" template and choose to "view content", but I only get an empty box. Is does not show the adjustments made.

Now I just put in the main box the text which is in the original ad_footer_end and in the replacement box the temporary replacement and this works on my forums. But when I use the "test template modifications" option the "Master" will display the "0 Edit" function, which means there is a problem.
Attachment 106178

But on the bottom of this test page, the "Checking Template-Modifications: vBulletin 3" (my main style) gives the OK sign.
Attachment 106179
I guess it hass something to do with the fact that the ad_footer_end templates is integrated in the footer template with the $ad_footer_end variable and I even changed that position in the original footer template. I put it a bit lower.

But seems to me this is not oke, the Master should give an "oke" just as the main style at the bottom does.
Furthermore the picture which I added on the left side of the banner in the footer, contains no border, but on the right side it does (as it should), see my forums at satellitefun.org to see what I mean.

Help?

[Andreas]

The ad_footer_end template in MASTER style is always empty ... so there is really nothing you could search and replace there?

[Black Tiger]

Standard it's empty indeed, but they are ment to put some ad in there, which I did.

And now the search and replace funktion of TMS is not working correctly, because I do a search of text, which TMS thinks is not present, and replace it with text which is present.

Which causes the template test to give a failure like in the screenshot.
If I leave the search window empty and only put the replace part in there, I get my banner numerous times.
So something is really wrong there. It should be possible to also use that template in TMS, shouldn't it?

I would like the border around that picture and I would like the error in the TMS test templates funktion to be gone.

Maybe I can solve it by doe a TMS search/replace on the footer template, which has the ad_footer_end template variable included and it will work, but still I find it strange then that the ad_footer_end template (and probably the others too) can't be used with TMS.

[TheSupportForum]

will this mod be introduced for vbulletin 4 ?
