Compare default template against previous version default?

[jrx]

There were some template changes in 3.7.1, so I thought I'd be able to use the "View History" feature to see what exactly Jelsoft had tweaked between 3.7.0 and 3.7.1.

To my dismay, the only options were:

Current Default - Jelsoft - 3.7.1
Current Version - mine - 3.7.0

i.e., I could only compare my (heavily-customized) 3.7.0 template against the new default 3.7.1 template.

I had hoped that the previous default template would have been kept around:

Current Default - Jelsoft - 3.7.1
Previous Default - Jelsoft - 3.7.0 (or whatever the version field said before)
Current Version - mine - 3.7.0

so that I could've easily pinpointed the specific lines that changed in the default template between 3.7.0 and 3.7.1.

Did I miss something during the upgrade process? Is there any way of preserving the old default templates for History purposes?

Not at the moment, but it does make a good suggestion for next major release. You can how ever upload the file within folder install\vbulletin-style.xml, but you need to edit one line first.

# open vbulletin-style.xml file
# find this line.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<style name="[B]MASTER STYLE" vbversion="3.7.0" product="vbulletin" type="master">
<templategroup name="CSS Special Templates">


# change to

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<style name="Default Style-1" vbversion="3.7.0" product="vbulletin" type="custom">
<templategroup name="CSS Special Templates">


Then upload and you can view what has been change between the two.
