XOOPS 2.0 uses Smarty template system like this:

theme - file template
templates of each modules - DB template
templates of each blocks - DB template


Do you think it is easy to customize such DB templates?
At least, I don't.

Although, DB template is designed for conveniences for site's admis...


These are the problems of the XOOPS template admin.

1) default templates can't be edited
2) you can copy/clone templates only in each "template set"
3) you can remove custom templates only in a template.
4) you can't see which template was customized nor how the template was modified.


I've just released tplsadmin module. And this resolves such problems like this.

1) you can edit templates in default template set.
2) you can copy/clone templates in each modules/templates also.
3) you can remove custom templates by checking boxes.
4) you can see which template was customized in list view, and you can see how the template was modified by displayed 'diff'.


tplsadmin module looks like blocksadmin module.
All you have to do is install the module!

If you are a module developper, you can include this feature into your module only by copying some files and editing menu.php like myblocksadmin.

I'll include mytplsadmin into my modules one by one.
