Organize your templates!

If you're like me, you like to try to keep your board as organized as possible. Which, is why the following little tip comes in handy for hacks that add a dozen or so custom templates. (ie. vBindex, v3arcade, etc..)

In includes/adminfunctions_template.php:

Find:

PHP Code:

    'subscription' => $vbphrase['group_paid_subscriptions'], 


Add BELOW:

PHP Code:

    'XXprefixXX' => 'XXtitleXX', 


Change "XXprefixXX" to whatever the template prefixes are, for example, the Arcade templates all begin with "arcade", so, you would put "arcade" as the prefix.

Change "XXtitleXX" to what you want the category to be called, don't add "Templates" to the name, because vB will do that for you. For example, if you put "arcade" as the title, it will read "Arcade Templates" in the Edit Templates section.

Get it? Good.

That's a great tip. I have definately found it useful and think this step should be added to any hack with multiple new templates.
