Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Advanced Template Manager

This lets you

- Export / Import custom and vBulletin edited templates
- Copy multiple templates to multiple styles
- Delete multiple templates from multiple styles
- Save multiple templates in template history

Installation

- Upload custom_template_manager.php to your admincp folder
- Upload cpnav_ctm.xml to your includes/xml folder
- Reload your Admin Control Panel, its above "Styles & Templates"

Tip: Deleting a template is the same as reverting it. So if you delete your footer template is the same as reverting the footer template.

Thanks Stoebi for updating this to 3.6

REGARDS!

You could use this mod to copy all your modified templates to the new style.

THOUGH, I would recommend you to use the modified style as a parent style for sub styles that would use the same modifications. It's a lot easier to maintain.

You create a style and modify it's templates, then you create a CHILD style that will inherit any modification you have on the PARENT's templates, and you can modify it further from there (colors on the CSS, etc).

Thanks guys for your support, I'm glad this mod is useful to some

Don't forget to thank Stoebi, he was the one that ported this hack over to 3.6.x.

I had that problem too so what I did is click on overwrite and it worked.

Guys you don't import a product with this mod, read the install instructions again.

I think it might be more clear if you included the directory names in the zip file under /upload/.

You just need to copy the two files in their appropriate locations

cpnav_ctm.xml >> includes/xml/
custom_template_manager.php >> admincp/

I'm aware of that. I was suggesting that the author follow convention and pack the files in the appropriate folders under an upload folder. That way there would be no confusion about importing the XML file (see posts a few above this one).

All i can say is X-C-LENT

THANK YOU!!!!!

I really didn't want to have to recode templates for each and every style I uploaded... a great timesaver!!!!

I also agree to make the instructions simpler. I saw the XML file and immediately thought it was a product to import and did try to import it. Got error. Checked install directions again. And followed exactly.
