Re: Theme mechanism for TxP 4.0.X
zero, I kept the Pages, Forms and Styles names close to the defaults to ease understanding of the mechanism. But anybody can use what they desire, as long as you have a unique prefix denoting your design.
mrdale, good to hear CrystalX is working. Yes, the setting of defaults in the sections needs improving, I’m looking into this.

Re: Theme mechanism for TxP 4.0.X
Bert, I finally got round to trying this out and it’s great! It will save everyone a lot of time in the template competition if everyone uses it. You’re da man!
Is there a way for me to export an existing template and add a prefix to every file, so it imports in the same way as Mistylook? I know I will have to then manually add the prefix here and there to the contents of forms, pages and styles to make it work, but if I could add the prefix on export, it would help me a lot cos I have a lot of forms and pages and styles.
Alternatively, is there some utility that I could do this with the exported files?

OK, I found something called Bulk Rename Utility that does the job perfectly :-)
( for those who want to use it just add the prefix to Add 7 )

I use XnView for my file renaming needs, even though it’s an image viewer it has a very capable file renaming utility.
Glad you like the templating mechanism, hope to add more designs as time permits.

Re: Theme mechanism for TxP 4.0.X
I found that the _templates directory crerated by the hcg_templates plugin can’t be deleted by the admin of the server: the files and directories it writes are owned by the webserver (Apache in my case).
Any solution to this?

Re: Theme mechanism for TxP 4.0.X
I was getting the following warning when trying to create a ‘_templates folder’ within my root directory;
Warning: opendir(/home2/andymitc/public_html/templates) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /home2/andymitc/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(574) : eval()'d code on line 306Warning: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in /home2/andymitc/public_html/textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(574) : eval()'d code on line 310But then I tried creating “templates” (without the underscore) and voila, it worked.
What’s up with that?

"base_dir" => "_templates",
Strange, mine says version 0.3 and doesn’t say it’s been modified but has it as _templates
