Introduction:
-------------
Do you have 7 styles and the instructions to a hack you are installing only allow you to do one at a time?
Tired of having to keep track of changes over your 7 styles, and wish that you only had to edit one of the custom templates you added?
---OR EVEN---
Do you want a backup that you can just run by itself without requiring you to manually run a dozen programs, and follow vague instructions?
Are you a hack writer and give up on writing installers for your templates, because the vbulletin template system is so messy?
Well, now with the PLS Hard Install Template Wizard, you can manage all of these things quickly and easily.
The Press function allows you to make any custom template/edited template one of the templates in the master set, cleaning up your template system, and quickly passing on changes to your templates to all of your styles at once, and they become more permanant, allowing you to revert back to the state you Press it to, even if you do more edits.
The Lift function will take the templates that you select and render a new php file, which you can run by itself to install those templates to the master set for backup. If you write hacks, you can create your templates live and then this wizard will automatically create template installers from them, you can just toss the file it creates in with the rest of the installation files for your hack, and the templates will be installed to the master set, which is far more convenient for your clients.
Installation is quick, just place this one file into your admincp folder, and edit the index if you want a link to it.
If you do use the Stick files in your hack installer, just don't edit out the credit line to me.
If you use this hack, do click install so you will be alerted to updates should you need anything.
As with all of my hacks, I am willing to help with any problem you might encounter, and entertain any suggestion, since I usually take awhile to believe I'm done with a hack myself!
