VB mod_template - how VB template management *should* work
Developer Last Online: Oct 2015
Ok, this may be better off in the beta forum, but as far as i'm concerned, unless there's major bugs, this is the final release.
Don't let the last line fool you into thinking this is low quality code, it's primo. But I wrote this code to fit my needs for a project, and decided to share it with the world. Since it already fits my needs to the max, the world's needs take a very low precedence. I am checking the "Will you provide support" box because I will honestly try to provide support, but putting food in my mouth is more important than providing free support for free software. I will TRY to help if i have time. My email is robjohnson@blackhole.com - put 'mod_template' in the subject if you email me. I hope someone finds this hack as crucial as i do. Anyone who has to deal with VB templates knows what a +++++ they are. Now, I'll simply paste the readme file and wander off. Cheers. ---------- <code> VB Mod_Template -------------------------------------- This hack provides a logical management system for VBulletin templates and sets. I developed this hack for myself because trying to work with VB templates just plain sucks. I've decided to share my work with the world. I havn't used this extensively yet, in fact i just finished a few minutes ago, but i did give it a pretty good run-through. Even so there are bound to be bugs. If you encounter strange behaviour let me know with as much detail as you can. Features: - Doesn't break existing VB template management system - Create and manage your own template groups - Manage the scope of templates, global template modifications can be shared across all templatesets - Synchronize templates across multiple templatesets - Browse multiple templatesets at once -------------------------------------- - These scripts and mods are provided AS IS free of charge under no particular license. Use, modify, distribute or maim them to you liking. The only think i require is that you do not modify or remove my credits in the source, or at the bottom of the mod_template pages. That is in fact the sole condition of the copyright, please respect it. Also visit http://www.asylumnation.com . - I guarantee NOTHING and promise NO SUPPORT. If you encounter problems I will do everything I can to help you, and I will do everything I can to patch bugs, but I am very busy and again I PROMISE NOTHING. - The above does not mean I don't want you to report problems, bugs, or feedback - it just means I can't guarantee I'll be able to provide free support. - This hack was developed and tested on a clean install of VBulletin version 2.2.9 . Please let me know if it works, or doesn't work on other VB versions. - Even if you don't have complaints, feed my ego and let me know if you like it. Direct any comments, suggestions, criticisms, etc to robjohnson@black-hole.com . -------------------------------------- --- RELEASE 0.1 --- This is the first release, 0.1, of VB mod_template. It was developed and tested on VBulletin version 2.2.9 . It has been substantially confirmed that this hack works on the following VB distributions: - VBulletin 2.2.9 Please let me know if you get it working on any other VB versions, along with additional steps (if any) you took to get it running. -------------------------------------- --- DETAILS --- -Templategroups: Template Groups are a logical means to organize your templates. Think of a template group as a folder. A folder can contain templates and other folders. Template Groups are always global. Global means that changing one templategroup will affect ALL templatesets. For instance if you change a group named 'My Group' to 'My Test group', the change will affect every templateset. Templategroups are not specific to any one templateset. - Templates There are 3 types of templates. Local templates, global templates, and global synced templates. A local template only exists once, and has a specific identity. For instance, if you create a local template named 'tmpl' in templateset A, it only exists in templateset A. You could create another template with the same name in templateset B, but it would exist as a seperate temlate. - Global Templates exist acrost all templatesets. You can't remove a global template from one templateset, only all templatesets. All global template details (minus template content) are synchronized acrost all templatesets, however the actual template content is retained specific to the templateset the template resides in. For instance, a global template named 'tmpl' will exist in every templateset. Modifying the name or group of the template will affect every templateset, however, modifying the content of the template will only affect the specific templateset that the modified template resides in. - Global Synced Templates take Global Templates a step further, and sync not only the name and group, but the content. This is very helpful in managing and modifying common templates. Modifying a global synced template in any templateset will change that template in every templateset. - That's it, it should be all pretty self explanatory how to use the mod. Let me know if you have any probs. -------------------------------------- --- INSTALLATION --- See install.txt </code> Show Your Support

I don't really understand what this does. I mean, it is easy enough to turn debug on for just you... Does this do anything more than just allowing you to edit global templates?
