how to group templates ?

[deathemperor]

I'm sorry if this has been asked but how do we group template with the same prefix in vbulletin 3.5 ?

I just don't want to edit adminfuctions_template.php anymore.

thanks in advance

template_groups

$only['prefix'] = 'Prefix';

What does that mean actually ? I have heard about grouping before but still have no clue what it means .. Does it mean you have one big table rather than 20 or something ?

this does nothing with the database, it only group templates with the same prefix to one group when editing templates

This means, you have to use the plugin system.
Click on "Add new plugin", choose "template_groups" as hook location and enter

$only['xxxxx_'] = 'YYY';

as Plugin code.

This will collect all templates which titles start with "xxxxx_" in one group called "YYY" in the template manager.


Important: I typed small x's, because you MUST use small letters, AFAIR, even if the prefix contains capital letters!

I'm following the instructions but my templates aren't being grouped under a collapsable group. Any suggestions?
