"copy templates" now is included in the latest CVS-Release...

So you don't have to install it manually if you install CVS-Version 1.2.6 -14.12.2005 and up...

----------------------------------------------------------

Hello phpwcms-friends!

Here is my little contribution to this great cms and forum:

With this enhancement it's possible to copy templates in the Backend in a very simple way.

To install this enhancement download

http://www.kmedv.at/phpwcms/admin.templates.tmpl.zip

unzip it and replace the original admin.templates.tmpl.php with the new one.
The admin.templates.tmpl.php is located in "include\inc_tmpl".

Only one thing to change left -> the language files:

Code: Select all

#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#

include\inc_lang\backend\en\lang.inc.php

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#

// admin.templates.tmpl.php
$BL['be_admin_tmpl_title']              = 'frontend setup: templates';
$BL['be_admin_tmpl_default']            = 'default';
$BL['be_admin_tmpl_add']                = 'add&nbsp;template';
$BL['be_admin_tmpl_edit']               = 'edit template';
$BL['be_admin_tmpl_new']                = 'create new';
$BL['be_admin_tmpl_css']                = 'css file';
$BL['be_admin_tmpl_head']               = 'html head';
$BL['be_admin_tmpl_js']                 = 'js onload';
$BL['be_admin_tmpl_error']              = 'error';
$BL['be_admin_tmpl_button']             = 'save template';
$BL['be_admin_tmpl_name']               = 'name';

#
#-----[ ADD ]------
#

$BL['be_admin_tmpl_copy']               = 'copy template';

Repeat the above steps for each preferred language.

Tested with version 1.2.1-DEV, should also work with the newer versions.

Thats all....

Hi Erich,

just tested it, very nice! Saves a lot of time (instead of copy paste the templates manually...). Works ok in 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 (tested both).
Only thing; when you copy and create the new template it seems you have to set the new template as default or it doesn't create it (but that is not really a "bug" because just by unclicking it after it's ok --> so still does the job)

Really nice little enhancement. Great hack!
Should warn brans to update list of MOD/hacks.
OG, this could be added to next dev version, don't you think?

Cheers

hi erich_k4 would you mind adding your hack to --...--/index.php/board,1.0.html ?

Please keep inline with the template that can be found under
--...--/index.php/topic,4.0.html

Hello board,
I tried the Hack as I was tired of manualy copying but when i try to validate the new template get the following error message
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: update_cache() in /home/ariockco/public_html/drakainasite/2006/include/inc_tmpl/admin.templates.tmpl.php on line 145"
as i am a beginner to php I have no clue what they mean by undefined fonction

now i cannot create anymore templates at all
Can anybody help me make this wonderfull CMs work again?
Thanks in advance

Hi, this feature is integrated in dev release 1.2.6

Hi Cyrano
thanks for the info : i am actually using version 1.1 -RC4 (this is the version offered to download by my webhost)
I guess I need to update version.. But does that mean I wll lose the website stucture I've created so far?

Hi Drakaina,

this enhancement is already included in the latest CVS-Release...

Hello Joachim and thanks for your help.
I am a little shy of updating a new version since last time I tried to update another database on with my host (integrahost) it messed up everything and they where unable to help me fix it..
What I need to know is (after downloading the new version to my hard drive and then uploading it with ftp) how do i update the database (all i have done to the website so far is site structure (page layout, templates..) which I do not want to lose when updating new version.. I am really having a hard time understanding how mysql base works therefor I am scared of losing everything when updating to new version

Or how do I install the lates CVS release ?
Thank you for your time
Drakaina

Hi

for Databes Upgrade use the upgrade.php Script in ../setup/ and do all the SQL-Upgrades Step-by-Step form the Version you had before. Also do the three Upgrades on Top of the Upgrade-Site ( Filestorage, Article-Content etc.)
Before uploading the new Version you should make a Backup of all Files and the Database.
