Custom Template Groups

[evenmonkeys]

I ran a search and didn't find what I was looking for. Is there a way to put custom templates into a template group? I have a lot of templates that I've made and don't want them taking up the first 500 lines. Please help.

Hello,

Template Manager should work for you. Its a modification for 3.5.x on this site.

I've installed it but it does not have the ability to put custom templates into groups. =\

Templeat groups can be add by making a hook in location:template_groups
and the code this:

PHP Code:

$only['name']='name';

It's not working. O_O

This is what I use for my cmps templates

$only['adv_portal'] = 'vBadvanced CMPS';

as a plugin in template_groups

Make sure you put the one for each group of templates as a new plugin as it makes it easier to remove them later if you need to.

Also, make sure you set the plugin to active.

I lied... it's working.

Is it possible to make this work for Custom Templates? I have like 300 custom templates that I'd like to segregate.

[peterska2]

Yeah

say you have a bunch of templates that start with peterska2_

then you would use

$only['peterska2'] = 'peterska2 rules';

repeat as desired.

NOTE: It will only group the ones that start the same.

Well... maybe it doesn't work for Dream's custom page wrapper. The templates all say page_blah_whatever. I make the plugin for page_blah and it doesn't work. It's still in the Custom Templates list.

Try just making it for page instead
