PEAK XOOPS - tplsadmin module 1.01

- Templates Admin Module -

NOTE) Developping this module has ended. Try altsys instead.


SUMMARY:

A module should be replaced "template manager" in system module.

I've made this module for recovering the features should be gifted in original DB template system.

I recommend tplsadmin module to all xoopsers with confidence.



DESCRIPTION:

- No hacks needed
- Easy to see differences of templates wholely
- Show "diff" from default or file
- Easy to copy&delete from any DB-set/file to any DB-set
- Easy to find the name of the target template (HTML comment or div border)
- Easy to edit the template just click links named the template in front side
- Generate specifications for template's variables dynamically as Dreamweaver Extension
- You can preview the site just by edit the template files (mainfile patch needed)
