Hello,

The title says it all, I see that we can export the templates but is there a way to batch import them to another site through the cp? I am copying them one by one but there must be a better way… 😊

PS: I actually don’t understand what the system/template directory is for (mine is empty) and the themes directory is about except it is used for the cp, forum and wiki..

fccinter, there is no good method for doing this in 1.6.8. http://expressionengine.com/docs/templates/template_library.html gives you more information on what the Template Library is all about.

I use the /themes/site_themes folder to create a different look and feel for each site. The install creates a folder called default. Look through it using your ftp program to get a look and feel for it.

I then make for example, the folder name of blue (the site has lots of blue in it.

Inside my folder, I put in an images folder, and store images for the design there.

If I’m doing an html based design, I copy over the design elements there so I can view what the original templates had in them.

Once I finish the conversion of the html to EE code, I then delete the .html files, but leave the .css and .js files there.

Does that help?

Thanks for your quick reply!

No worries, that’s what we’re here for. Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
