This hack will allow you to view your template before you put it up on the web page. It is partial because it does not include any of the global settings like border colors, etc.

So here it is:

In admin/template.php

Look for:

####### Start modify ########

echo "<li>$template[title] <a href=\"template.php?action=edit&templateid=$templa te[templateid]\">[edit]</a> <a href=\"template.php?action=remove&templateid=$temp late[templateid]\">[delete]</a></li>\n";

and replace it with:

echo "<li>$template[title] <a href=\"template.php?action=edit&templateid=$templa te[templateid]\">[edit]</a> <a href=\"template.php?action=remove&templateid=$temp late[templateid]\">[delete]</a> <a href=\"/yourforum/template.php?action=view&templateid=$template[templateid]\">[view]</a></li>\n";

Change the yourforum to your main forum directory.

Then create a file will the following:

<?php

require("global.php");

// ####################### View ########################

if ($action=="view") {

$templates=$DB_site->query("SELECT templateid,title,template FROM template WHERE templateid=$templateid");
$template=$DB_site->fetch_array($templates);
echo "<html><body>";
echo "<center>Template File Name: $template[title]";
echo "<p><hr><p>";
echo "<table border=0><td>";
echo "$template[template]";
echo "</td></table></center>";
echo "</body></html>";

}

?>

</body>
</html>

and name it template.php and put it in your main forum directory.

Like I said this will give you the basic layout but without all the colors you have set up, etc..

If anyone knows how to grab the rest of the settings like your firstaltcolor, secondaltcolor, to include here so the page will look pretty much like it will on the web would be great.

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