vBTemplates - Custom templates anywhere
Mod Version: 1.00, by davidw

I was playing around a couple days ago trying to add a custom template and wondering why it wouldn't work. I did a little searching and found that in order to make a template and then call it elsewhere there were a few steps you had to go through. No big deal.

But then I thought... for a lot of people who are in need of a quick custom template and don't have that much time - such as for testing purposes - or if you are new to vbulletin and are unsure how to do much of anything, this would be a lifesaver for a few out there. This takes the guesswork on what to do and where to go.

It was a really easy hack (took me very little time to write it) - and very easy to install.

Step 1: Install the product.

Admincp => Plugins & Products => Manage Products => Add/Import Product [ product-davidw_vbtemplates.xml ]

Step 2: Add your custom template

Admincp => Styles & Templates => Style Manager => Edit Templates => Open up vbtpldw Templates => Open up whichever template you want to use => Put in your template code

Step 3: Find wherever you want to place your new custom template (header, navbar, footer) and place $vbtpldw_## with the ## being the number of the template you just saved. You might have to add the template name to vbadvanced per vbadvanced's global options.

That's it!

I've provided up to 10 custom templates. Need more? Let me know.
