[vbhacker] Template Compare

I was using Beyond Compare to upgrade from 221 to 224 when I got this idea for upgrading my templates.

all this does is combines the edit template form with the view original template form. then you can see the original template in the above form with the form to edit your edited template below it. see what has changed, make the changes in your template and submit the update.

changes the "view original" link to a "compare to original" link

preview and copy buttons work for both original and modified template text areas.

this is my first time using vbhacker so I hope the file works for you guys. I've attached the vbhacker file below. if you don't have vbhacker, just get it. it's very nice.

FIREFLY: 2 things about vbhacker. how about a field to leave comments to the person installing the hack. and how about having vbhacker build the hack.php file instead of just sticking it into a textarea. that way you'd know that the hack.php file is set up right. very nice tool. thanks

Mutt - Any chance you can make this fully compatible with your Advanced Template Editor Hack ?

Thanks in advance.

if you are installing both hacks, there is some over lap. (code that both hacks used) you only want to add it once. I can't rmember what it was right now. (haven't looked at either in forever) but I thought it was rather obvious.

I guess I'll have to download them and look

Im going to have a go at getting both of them to work together tonight, but it would be great if you could come up with a simple way to get them both to play nice


Edit :
Ok I already had the advanced template editor installed.
So I generated the 2 install files to plain test through vbhacker and this is what the issue is after installing the relevant parts from template compare :
