Additional templates use the Default as the base

I've always been annoyed that when I create a new template set, all my changes from the default template set aren't included. So, I went and made this TINY hack

In admin/functions.php:

Find:

                            AND (templatesetid=-1 OR templatesetid='$templatesetid'))

and change the -1 to a 1.

Then find:

PHP Code:

    $vars=$DB_site->query("SELECT findword,replaceword FROM replacement WHERE replacementsetid IN(-1,'$replacementsetid') ORDER BY replacementsetid DESC,replacementid DESC"); 


Change to:

PHP Code:

    $vars=$DB_site->query("SELECT findword,replaceword FROM replacement WHERE replacementsetid IN(-1,1,'$replacementsetid') ORDER BY replacementsetid DESC,replacementid DESC"); 


Find:

PHP Code:

    $gettemp=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT template FROM template WHERE title='".addslashes($templatename)."' AND (templatesetid=-1 OR templatesetid='$templatesetid') ORDER BY templatesetid DESC LIMIT 1"); 


Change to:

PHP Code:

    $gettemp=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT template FROM template WHERE title='".addslashes($templatename)."' AND (templatesetid=-1 OR templatesetid=1 OR templatesetid='$templatesetid') ORDER BY templatesetid DESC LIMIT 1"); 


1 is the id of the default templateset/replacement set, and you can change it to whatever you want.

I always used to just download and upload the default template set as a new set to accomplish this.

However this makes it easier. I like it. Good job!

Oh man..I did something even worse...depending on how you look at it. I edited the standard template set(id = -1) to match the default one...hm..problems arise, of course

Thanks

This is great, I'm gonna try it out. I always have to do like VirtueTech has said, download and upload template again, of course doing this I have to change the color of table and such.

Thanks,

I got this error when I changed what you said.

[QUOTE]Parse error: parse error in /home/thechar/public_html/admin/functions.php on line 802

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: vbsetcookie() in /home/thechar/public_html/admin/sessions.php on line 282

Are you sure you did exactly what the instructions say?

Could you paste line 802 of functions.php and line 282 of session.php please?

[TELEK]

where you say 1 is the id of the default template set, does that mean to change it you just have to change 1 to the other number in the first line, or all of the 1's.

AND (templatesetid=-1 OR templatesetid='$templatesetid'))

would become

AND (templatesetid=1 OR templatesetid='$templatesetid'))

DarkReaper, I think it's a bigger problem. Any time I edit the admin/funtions.php file I get an error similar to that, just different line #s. Any ideas?

I think it would be better if you could copy any templates. Such as.. A 'Copy" link next to 'Edit' and 'Remove'. Then you could name the new template, and it would be a duplicate of the template that you copied.

Make sense?
