[RELEASE vB2.0RC1] Copy Templateset

[Hotte]

When using other Templates than the default (ie german templates) than it is usefull to copy this set to a new one before altering them.

File to edit: ./admin/template.php

Around line 235 add the following Code before

// ###################### Start Modify #######################
if ($action=="modify") {

// ###################### Start copyset #######################
if ($action=="copyset") {
	$oldset=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT * from templateset where templatesetid=$templateset");
	$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO templateset (templatesetid,title) VALUES (NULL,'Copy of ".$oldset[title]."')");
	$newset=$DB_site->insert_id();
	$sets=$DB_site->query("SELECT * from template where templatesetid=$templateset and title != 'options'");
	while($set=$DB_site->fetch_array($sets)){
		$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO template (templateid,templatesetid,title,template) VALUES (NULL,$newset,'".addslashes($set[title])."','".addslashes($set[template])."')");
	}
	
	echo "<p>copied!</p>";
	
	$action="modify";
}

In action modify around line 357 add

makelinkcode("copy","template.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=copyset&templateset=$templateset[templatesetid]").

between

makelinkcode("collapse groups","template.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=modify&expandset=$templateset[templatesetid]").
"<ul>\n";

Nice one! Was planning on making this one myself, but won't bother anymore

Another extra cp-feature I had in mind was 'add template to all template sets' which will add your new template to all sets in one click

And I'm working on a template compare utitility which will check two the same template of two different template sets against eachother and lists the differences of the $var variables.

But first I've to release the vbextern hack

Thanks man that's a great hack, would this work for RC2?

Don´t know
But the chance, that it does, looks great. Don´t think, this part of the skript has changed.

[SteveK]

Yes, this works in RC2. It will also work if you have Kier's alternate template admin hack installed. For this, simply add the code in step 2 of this mod to the ktemplate.php file instead - around line 140 in between:

    makelinkcode("add new template","template.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=add&templatesetid=$templateset[templatesetid]"). 

and

"<ul>\n"; 

[Remi]

That is not working in RC3

Any help SteveK

Thanks

[SteveK]

I'll test once I update to RC3 and let you know what I find out.

[SteveK]

I didn't have any problem. You didn't, by chance, change:

if ($action=="copyset") { 

to:

if ($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']=="copyset") { 

did you? If so, try changing it back.

[Remi]

Thanks SteveK

It is working now

Hotte or whom ever likes a challenge...

This is a very useful hack for me, love it... Now would you be so kind as to create another. Enabling one to make a copy of individual templates. Like a drop down box that would list the template set's then a copy to button or what ever it takes. Sort of like the drop down that move's the template to another set.

[JoshFink]

WaJones, just saw this good idea.. Any takers

Thanks,

Josh
