[pLog-general] Changing Templates Names.

[Oscar Renalias]

Sorry I have been the whole weekend away but yes, what you did is one  
possible way.

One better way to handle the plog_config table would have been via  
the Config object, since it would have handled all serialization and  
unserialization for you:

$config =& Config::getConfig();
$templates = $config->getValue( "templates" );
foreach( $templates as $template ) {
   // ... do whatever ...
}
$config->setValue( "templates", $templates );

Maybe next time :)
