Because I'm unable, at this time, to access the client area, I'm posting this here, and hopefully it will get moved into the client area when I do (eventually).

If you're like me, you've got better things to do with your time than deal with uploading themes one by one by one by one by one. Well, you get the idea.
Once you GET those themes uploaded, you then have to copy certain files to every directory once you put in a new mod, right? How ugly can you get.

I've put together a mod/addon that helps manage these two things better
#1: You can massively upload themes to your host in a temporary directory (I use /home/user/themes), run a php script that will automatically import these into the webautosoft database and allow users to use these starting on their signup (current users will still have to have them enabled, but that's easily done).

#2: You can set a default 'directory' which contains additions to be copied over to other directories (your themes)

In order to provide a bit better support, I'm only going to release this mod here, but you're more than welcome to join (it's so easy, you can use facebook to do it) and download the mod alone if you want. eventually, I'm going to have more releases there, and if you need support via forum, or want to chat with other MF owners (phpbb/mybb/smf), you can do so there as well.

Enjoy!

Note that such mod with many new themes addition is better to do before you have many existing client forums, as on big amount of client forums - theme insertion to database may take a lot of time and cpu resources, so it is better to do one by one and even single theme insertion may need to be split on few forums per each operation.

Oh absolutely. In fact, this mod won't even touch current forums (you'll have to do that manually), but it is so much easier than uploading 100s of themes one by one.
I think right now I've got around 450 active themes, and doing that 1 by 1 is just crazy!
