[Done 1.5.1] Custom Templates 1.0.0

[Egg]

hey Jack-UK

when in the forum with the altered template, all the admin and user functions etc all use the altered template, to start with....except the calander

also, in the admin function, the first admin index is in the altered template, but clicking "edit boards" or any other feature reverts to default. is this correct??

do you want to check it out??

Yeah, it's a 'feature' in YaBB that I still haven't decided how (or if) to deal with.

The problem is letting the template handler what is going on. If you look in the Address bar when you are doing most stuff in YaBB, there is a board=xxx extry (in this case here it's board=158). That (unsuprisingly) is the  internal ID number for the current board - and it is what I use to decide on the template to use.
If there is no board argument (such as in the calendar and main page) them we default back to the primary template. For some reason, the 'admin' link keeps it' 'board' argument, which it doesn't seem to need.
The only place I've seen this look odd is in the admin pages & I figured the admins on my board could live with it

The fix is for me to either code an exception to check for the 'admin' action, or for me to finally get round to reporting the exraneous info in the admin link as a bug.

I don't like writing such exceptions, cos it means that you then have to keep track of a lot more stuff than is technically relevant.

If you want to do it yourself, just edit Subs.php and find the following lines in the template_header function :-

Code Select Expand

       global $currentboard;
and

Code Select Expand

  if ($currentboard) {
and replace them with :-

Code Select Expand

       global $currentboard, $action;
and

Code Select Expand

  if ($currentboard && ($action != 'admin')) {

Hehe .. I was waiting for the release of B44 for this..

We now have a 'Delete Template' button!!

Guess what that does

No upgrade package this time .. cos you'll all be upgrading to B44 anyway, won;t you?

There are no changes between B43 and B44 that affect this mod in any way that I can see - it's happy on both.

[jack-uk]

OK, I've fixed another bug.

Previously, it would just ignore any PHP code embedded in a template & pass it on straight through to the browser instead of executing it. (see 'Supermod' thread for more details).

Any further bugs are now officially figments of your deranged imagination

[Dude]

Do you have in this another format besides the package thing? I wrote this mod for several previous versions, just wondering how you did it. And I seem to remember someone did write an upgrade for 1.5 but I'm too lazy to look it up.

Installed with just one little error : it couldn't find the line in Admin.php, so I added it manually.

Now just thinking about what kind of different templates I can make........

There's a zipfile available with everything in at http://www.jack.org.uk/yabbse-stuff/PackageCustomTemplates098-151.zip

The actual .mod file uses Yabbpak's syntax, though - cos I've forgotten everything I knew about BoardMod's

[timo_copts]

i use YaBB SE 1.5.1 RC1
it will work with this ver??
and how i setup for this....sorry its first time to use mods

[jack-uk]

The current version is only tested by me on Build 44 of RC1. It may work with earlier or later builds but I'm not promising anything.

[jack-uk]

OK, bumped this up to version 1.0.0 and taken it out of beta cos no-one has mentioned finding any bugs in ages.

This works on YaBBSE 1.5.1 Final

Does this mod work with 1.5.2? Also, is there any BoardMod version available, for those of us stuck in safe-mode?

[Egg]

I had it insitalled ion 1.5.1 upgraded to 1.5.2 and all is working ok still

The 1.5.2 upgrade, frm what I can see should not affect the operation of this mod (I personally haven't tried it yet).

As Egg has said it works, I'm willing to believe him as he caused me loads of extra work found loads of bug earlier

I do not have a boardmod version, but it should not be hard for anyone who is familiar with boardmod syntax (which I'm not) to convert. Filaing that, this mod is part of Wiziwig's 'Supermod' which is boardmod (and includes *loads* more cool stuff)

[Daniel Hofverberg]

Okay, I'll have to try then. I'm not interested in Supermod, as this is pretty much the only mod I'm interested in...

Great Mod Had installed it once and did not work so I just uploaded a fresh copy of MangeBoards.php  

I went back and put everything in by hand and it works now!
