Forum Importing styles overwrite the base templates
 

Hi,

I posted a problem here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...ultiple-styles

Upon closer investigation I found out that when you import styles, it is possible that templates from the import overwrites the base templates.

If you look at your template, you have styleids.

The default style's id is 1. Furthermore, the base templates have a style id of -1.

If you create a style which has no parent, its parent templates are in fact the templates from style id -1.

Suppose you importing into a new style with id 2. The problem is that the templates imported don't create new templates with styleid 2, but rather OVERWRITES the old templates with style -1.

This is evident because the username of templates with styleid -1 should be "Jelsoft", but instead will have the username of the person who made the new style.

Thus, if the base templates are affected, everytime you import a new style, if the new style does not have its own templates, it will use the base templates, which will have been overwritten. Your styles will be broken then.
