## đź“– Overview
AIXF ExtraLess Paster is a XenForo admin utility that turns your messy extra.less file into a clean, modular, and documented system.

It automatically extracts all <xf:css src="..."> includes and raw LESS code into structured database entries and templates — giving administrators full control over organization, visibility, and styling safety across multiple styles.

---

## 🚀 Features

### đź”§ Automated Template Import
  • Parses extra.less for all <xf:css src="..."> includes (supports comma-separated lists).
  • Creates missing template files automatically.
  • Extracts raw LESS content into a reusable “bundle” template.
  • Skips duplicates safely (checks existing entries and templates).

---

### 🧙‍♂️ Interactive Import Wizard
  • Guided UI inside the ACP.
  • Lists all discovered templates and raw code blocks.
  • Lets admins add titles, descriptions, and edit code before saving.
  • Imports multiple entries at once with one click.

---

### đź§© Entry Management System
Each imported block becomes an Entry in the database, containing:
  • Title, description, and slug.
  • Template name reference.
  • Inline LESS (optional).
  • Display order & enable/disable toggle.

  • Clean Extra.less removes obsolete AIXF include lines and old manifest blocks.
  • Restores your template to a clean baseline without touching custom code.
  • Mass Enable / Disable all entries with one click.
  • Rebuild Loader and Rebuild Manifest instantly.
  • Open Template and Open extra.less shortcuts.
  • All actions logged in the XenForo server log.
  • Fully XenForo 2.3+ entity-driven architecture.
  • Uses Repository/Service separation for imports and rebuilds.
  • Auto slug generation for entries.
  • Supports multiple styles via style_id.
