Hi

I'm writing a plugin for maps with links

On install, I copy three new templates in the default directory, the user has to modify his own templates to include them.

Is there a way to modify them on install ?

EXAMPLE : replace the tag <%include include_form.html%>


WITH

<%include include_form.html%>

<%-- Displays the map to add a link's localisation --%>
<%set U_action=add%>
<%include include_add_map_form.html%>

How about;

1) Grab the templates
2) Search through it with a =~ s/// regex, and replace the existing tag with your new one.
3) Write it back to the template folder...

Hope that helps :p

That's exactly what I try to do.

Would it be better to use the build instructions or the GT::SQL::File instructions?

I personally would just leave it up to the user to insert the tags at the place they want, because many people have completely changed the templates (including renaming include_form.html to something else). So you might create a mess in someboy's templates.

Also as a plugin user, I wouldn't want to install a plugin that changes my templates. I have nothing against the plugin adding templates, but changing is a different story.

Thanks Yogi,

That was one of my doubts.

Also, it's easier.
