Template Modification System (TMS) 1.3.1

[polle]

This add-on will do what you want.

But my instructions were geared specifically around people wanting to release the modifications they've made as add-ons to other people.

Ok, its a simple navigation for my site that for sure nobody needs.

Yes you could put the original code in the search and whatever you want to replace it with in the replace field.

You don't always have to put all of the original code in the search field. It's always best to pick out the little parts that have changed and replace them that way. But I'm sure you will find a way that works best for you.

I created the template and it says "No differences found."

The search has 4 lines and the replace 45 lines.

How is there no difference there ?

 

[polle]

Its working now.

I really appreciate your help

 

[Chris D]

Great! Glad it all worked out

Thanks guiltar

I'd love to learn more how that works... Is there any guides specific to the TMS?

It hasn't any guide yet. The best guide for it is regular expression documentation

I unable to disable this addon if I have over two skins installed on my site. I have 93 addons. I had way more styles and addons but I uninstalled them in order to be able to turn this addon off when I needed to during troubleshooting. What gives?

Try to disable the option of instant compilation. But you will need to rebuild templates to apply changes

What is the best way to set up the styles and why? I'm curious to those who are using TMS.

1) Parent Style (all TMS edits inside it)
2) Parent Style (No edits) + Child Style (all TMS edits)
3) Parents Style (TMS edits) + Child Styles ( TMS edits for colour variations, minor differences)
4) Other - please explain!

Thanks

Here's another addon that requires the TMS that you can add to your list:

I will add more of my old template modifications as TMS modification addons eventually.

The problem is that some of my Template modifications require the addition of custom userfields.

I don't know how to add custom user fields inside an addon and there's no instructions for that with the TMS.

I have a question. I have made a few template changes in the past without TMS. I can export those template changes in an XML file. Is it possible to export those template changes in a TMS XML file, revert all template changes and then install the exported TMS XML file?

Sorry as far as I know there is no option for such an import you mentioned. I had the same problem on my site and had to apply all change manually again - for the last time I hope

But in my case it was easy, be cause I had all my changes documented so all I did was:

Reverted all templates and copy and posted my documentation to TMS

Hello guiltar,

I just want to report that there is a slight bug (or whatever those things are called) with the diff overlay in the ACP being cropped at the bottom.

The bottom is always cropped, you can't scroll any further to the bottom.

Edit: In the features list you can read:

• Advanced options for performance.

Where can I find those options?

This will be fixed in the next release. Advanced options are here.

I just installed TMS and made changes to node_list.css.
I clicked on the "X" to revert the customizations to this template modification.
I also did "Rebuild Templates". My issue is that the css didn't revert, it actually kept the changes I made in the css.
Is anyone else having this issue?

I get the same error but it only shows in Internet Explorer for some reason.

CSS files are heavily cached by the browser.

Clear your browser caches and try again.

Ctrl + F5 is also worth a try to do a hard refresh of the page. Also, in Internet Explorer there is an option to check for newer versions of stored pages whenever the page is visited:

@8thos and Yorick

Thank you, I will try that!

Just want to note that this bug is still not fixed in v1.2

Me too. Original Template is empty...

EDIT: Solved. I reload the browser ignoring the cache, and now works.
