Full Version: Backing up templates?

I just realized I forgot to setup my MT to use SQL, so I went to activate the SQL feature but it reverted everything back to the default templates. Oops. Luckily I was able to revert it back to the way it was without losing anything.

Anyhow, I was wondering, where are all the MT templates stored on my server? I just want to be able to download them all to my pc, activate the SQL features and then reupload them.

If anyone could tell me I'd appreciate it.

you can use the 'Link this template to a file' input in your template screen to keep a copy of you template in a folder on you server for download.

"Activate the SQL features"? Are you using Berkeley and want to convert to MySQL? If so, there's a conversion script to do that for you, and you won't lose your templates.

It's in the upgrade distribution: mt-db2sql.cgi

Instructions are in the Upgrade manual.
