External VBTemplate
This module is targeting developers/web designers and it provides the feature to load vbulleitn templates directly from external files.
The main problem when you make changes into templates (if you dont work directly on browser window) is that you have to copy/paste always the code from the external web editor to vbulletin template editor. This module provides an easy way to change the template by loading an external file into the template. Developer can change directly the template from the external web editor and for example using ftp to save the file into the server. So there is no need to copy/paste the code. These templates works like vbulletin editor and the <vb:>, {vb:} tags can used. All the template code parsed as well as vbulletin does. The only feature that it's "missing", is that there no bad code checking. But developers with a lot of experience doesnt need that. You can add two type of tags, import and overwrite. With import tag you can partly import multiple external template files into specific places of an existing template. For example add this on template : HTML Code:
<div>Template Code </div> <vbimport>./localpath/import1.html</vbimport> <div>Template Code </div> <vbimport>www.example.com/path/import2.html</vbimport> <div>Template Code </div> For example add this on template : HTML Code:
<div>Template Code </div> <vboverwrite>./localpath/import1.html</vboverwrite> <div>Template Code </div>
Important Notice This module is only for developing proposes. At the end of developing, I suggest to copy the final code into the template system. Also I dont suggest to use this module on a live site, this may increase a little bit the server load, because it parses every time the external templates files. Download
