Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] mcw_templates: export/import pages, forms, css to files
@kemie: I’ll see if I can sneak that into the next release, which should be coming out in a week or so.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] mcw_templates: export/import pages, forms, css to files
This is a great plugin for managing multiple themes, thanks!
I stumbled on this while I was looking for a similar solution, unfortunately this isn’t quite it but it is close. I was looking for a way for my file-based “template” (pages and forms) to be truly linked to TXP—in other words, I could edit in skEdit or TextMate, save, and simply reload the browser to see my changes. That would be TXP gold.
I read somewhere from Dean the basic steps to get this done; it was a little over my head at the time but maybe I’ll try to cook something up.

I was just thinking… in Perfect Land you could:
- edit and develop in your favorite text editor;
- when finished, use this plugin to import the temporary files into the database for ultimate portability;
- export the files to either be transferred or backed up
That would be the bee’s knee’s…

no table corruption, was caused by some image handling plugin, just to confirm that it is clear,

This is genius and sure beats my copying and pasting into a text editor. I haven’t imported only because I don’t feel like fixing anything in the chance that things go wrong, but the export was great. Thanks for your time Mike.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] mcw_templates: export/import pages, forms, css to files
As the creator of the original import/export that this was based on, I want to say thank you fr doing what i could not. I am so glad to see thi sia a plugin now and it allows for multiple folders/themes. I knew i wanted to get around to this but lacked the time needed. can you tell i’m a teacher based on the fact that all my plugins/ported themes were created/updated during summer/christmas/easter breaks?
Anyway, thank youfor creating this excellent plugin. It will make themes so much easier to work on.

This is quite possibly the best plugin I’ve run into in a long time. Fantastic work, absolutely fantastic.

Absolutely brilliant. Works flawlessly.
Feature requests- plugins
- import/export to .zip/.tgz
There’s some work being done w/ importing & exporting plugins via .zip/.tgz, perhaps code could be shared.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] mcw_templates: export/import pages, forms, css to files
This plugin has become the first thing I install after Textpattern.
I would suggest adding an .htaccess to the _templates directory:
<code>
<Limit GET POST PUT>
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Limit>
</code>
Maybe a small blurb in the help file?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] mcw_templates: export/import pages, forms, css to files
This is great, should really be core functionality within TXP. Essential plugin, thanks.
To make it perfect:
1. Add plugins to scope
2. Have an interface such as ‘rss_admin_db_manager’ (zips up and lists backups).

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] mcw_templates: export/import pages, forms, css to files
I just started using this plugin for backup purposes. As Ross mentioned, it’d be killer if the plugin could zip them up for download. Still, it’s very handy as it is – I’d been using a Firefox plugin to do this same thing, and while that saves you some time too, it’s still time-consuming.
Thanks.
