How to add your own template group

[zetetic]

Regarding it not working with the adv_portal templates, Brian at vBadvanced said in this post that because of the way vBulletin handles things, new templates won't be grouped with the others. Maybe they'll have this fixed in 3.5...

Heh, it's version 3.8 and almost 4 years passed without any changes. This is a big issue for boards like mine with alot of modifications and templates that start with adv_portal.

I'd guess you could do this with the hook that now exists (untested):

if (class_exists('vBulletinHook'))
{
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('template_groups')) ? eval($hook) : false;
}

Just make a plugin that appends a line to the end of the afforementioned array?

Yup, you can. Make a plugin for the "template_group" hook as follows:

PHP Code:

$only['your_prefix'] = 'Template Description'; 


Just did this, and it works.
