CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello,

How can I save template to a file?

My module loads a template from /templates/ folder and displays in Admin's TextArea with in order to edit the template.

But how can I save template back to the same file after changes are Submited, besides writing my own function?

I found only SetTemplate() method, which updates only template inside database.

Thanks.

AFAIK, CMSMS only READS templates from files (such as the default menu templates), it doesn't write them to files, it stores edited ones in the database...

i don't use it but 'template externalizer' writes existing templates to files for editing via ftp.. maybe there's something in it you can use. http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/externalizer

He's trying to make a module with an editable template like news does...

augustas,

Maybe you have some help on the manual part that I wrote about this topic. See:

Well, I need to save edited template into a file, not database.

Seems CMSMS does not have anything built in, so I simply wrote a function SaveTemplateToFile($name, $content)
with few lines of opening a file and placing a content
