Hey guys is there a way yet to convert vbulletin templates into files? I really just want to do this during template development.

Has anyone worked out a way to do this yet?

So, nobody on the whole wide internet can help.. I've built something in ruby that pulls templates out for a given style, and drops it to the filesystem.

I'm now writing another ruby script to convert the templates into an xml style which can be imported.

Bext step is to hook into vbulletin itself and make it grab the templates directly from the file system.

--------------- Added [DATE]1317468346[/DATE] at [TIME]1317468346[/TIME] ---------------

So I bailed on the xml style importer (I'll do that next).

But I now have vbulletin templates being read in via the file system, ignoring the database.
The plan is to update the database with the rendered and un rendered templates on page load, so i always have up to date versions in my database.

You are somewhat re-inventing the wheel

Take a look at includes/class_filesystemxml_template.php.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
