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.

Just to let you know, it's working for me with mySQL v4.0.26-standard.

The only thing is I keep getting this error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1984105 bytes) in [MyPath]/includes/adminfunctions_templateedits.php on line 970

I'll put up with having to come up with workarounds for this to keep this fantastic mod, however!

Andreas,

That error has nothing todo with tms that's caused by your PHP configuration increase your memory limit in php.ini (root access requirerd or you can't do this)

Ah grand so. I'll try that.

It just keeps coming up in relation to TMS, like when adding/editing modifications in certain templates:

Updating Template-Modifications for Stye 'MASTER' and its Child-Styles ...

    * MASTER ... (Templateedit-IDs)
      Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1984105 bytes) in [mypath]/includes/adminfunctions_templateedits.php on line 970

OMG if you were here i'd kiss you!
this is the perfect modification for my board...
if only i could nominate for mod of the month!

one question does this work on 3.6.X or only versions 3.6.7 and above?
cause i run a 3.6.2 3.6.4 3.6.5 and 3.6.8 board(3 of them being development boards)

[Andreas]

Any 3.6 is fine.

Hi again.
I'm getting some troubles, when i go to "Add Template Modification" or any of the drop down menu items, they dont go any where at all.. but the links on the bottom of the frame such as up/download a template modification works.

Perhaps i need to do something else?

p.s. i must say how super easy it is to install your mod

[BigDog56]

Works great now. This is a fantastic mod. Thank you very much!

I'm getting an odd error on the main page of the admincp.

!!! Out-of-date Template-Modifications found !!!

There are 1 Template-Modifications that were not desinged for the currently installed vBulletin version. To make sure that vBulletin and your installed Products are working correctly, you must check and maybe modify those Template-Modifications.

Test Template-Modifications
