above and beyond. the ultimate garage hack.

[thejdm]

i used to run phpbb before i made the switch over to vB. ill admit its a HUGE improvement i love vB.

i run a car based website for japanese/import cars. when i was running phpbb there was a garage hack that was UNBELIEVEABLE it had everything from top car to what insurance company you used here is the link http://forums.phpbbgarage.com/garage.php

it also had a 1/4 mile table that would sort in order of fastest and you were able to post pics of your actual timeslip. if someone was very bored and wanted to create the 'ultimate garage hack' this would be the one. if anyone feels up to it i would LOVE to see this hack done. and i know with it being on vB it would run faster and perform better.

thanks in advance.

i talked to the creator of this hack and he said its coded in gpl. if anyone is interested into switching it over to vB he has no problem. i could get the needed files if anyone wants to take a stab at it.

[thejdm]

he has an update to the new hack it can be found here. he is willing to give up the phpbb code to someone who is willing to convert it to vB. if i had any idea i would do it.

im guessing there is no takers on this?

[dragonsrest]

Give it time, someone with the skills and desire may well do it.

[thejdm]

ttt i guess this didnt get alot of hits. if i could code i would do this. anyone?

[thejdm]

any word on this?

theres one in the works as we speak, forum rules prevent me from making a thread related to the mod until its in a releasable state. but a mod that is very similar if not better than the phpbb garage mod is coming soon.

[tipoboy]

waiting with baited breath!!

I know of a few people subscribed to that thread waiting for its completion and willing to support it. We recently switched from IPB to vB and our community really wants a garage again but I don't like what is available - waiting for this, but hoping it is sooner rather than later (not pressuring, I know the deal).

I remember couple months ago, i was looking through the 3.6 mods and I saw someone create a mod for something we are looking for. Anyone knows what I am talking about and that can direct everyone to what's it called. Thanks!

[AWJunkies]

I need this mod too! WOOT!

I created my own garage system on phpbb which ultimately got stolen by these phpbbgarage guys without giving me or the original coders credit.

I will code something very soon off my phpbb garage system for the vb system because I need it. Will keep you guys posted. Will start working on it in next few weeks.

[Blackheart_72]

Any news guys, would love something like the phpbb garage for my forum.:)

[ArchangelX]

There's a garage hack already available...do a search for vbGarage. ;)

[Snkypete]

vBGarage is not what anyone is looking for. It's just a glorified vBPicGallery....

There are a lot of us anxiously awaiting this update which will actually be useful.

[ArchangelX]

Hoooo crap. I had no idea that I responded to a 4 page thread! I found this through searching...and just replied without checking to see how many pages. I must have come off like an azz. Sorry about that. LOL. :D

After reading the thread, I see it's merits...lol...what a day.

[Snkypete]

I'm anything but a php guy - I actually came over from IPB. phpbbgarage is probably the only thing 'superior' that phpbb has going for it, it is very well done.

But in your defense, there are a lot of people who ask for a garage without doing a search first :)

[ArchangelX]

LOL. I changed my snarky comments...my apologies for being an azz! :D

[DustyJoe]

I am interested in this as well...

I run www.minitrucker.org and need a member ride mod, I am thinking of using vb garage, but the only thing I do not like is not being able to have multiple rides.

[wottech]

phpgarage is actually just a port of the Fusion Scripts Garage module (http://www.fusionscripts.com/products/ports/). Do a search for Fusion Scripts on here, and you will find that I mentioned this quite awhile ago. I had actually talked to one of the vB programmers (can't remember his name off the bat, but he is the one who does all the vBGallery mods), and he was looking into porting it for vB. He actually had even been in contact with the Fusion Script developers and got their permission to port it over. This was probably a year or so ago, so I'm not sure if he ever made any progress.

On a side note, and I know I've mentioned this before... the mod is already out there, but the sites that have it don't seem to want to share.

http://www.fordforums.com/garage/
http://www.dodgetalk.com/forums/garage.php

[dietcokebf2]

If someone PM's me with the phpBB files, I will give porting it a shot :)

[wottech]

You should just be able to DL the package from the phpbbgarage website (www.phpbbgarage.com). The original module by Fusion Scripts was done for Invision Power Board (IPB), so not sure which would be the easier one to port.

[RobFerrari]

I'm interested in this as well.

As I stated above, it is a vB port of the Fusion Scripts garage module, just as the phpbbgarage is. The problem is, is that the admins of dodgetalk and fordforums are not willing to share the code with others (as I have emailed both and not recieved replies).

Do you think they would be willing to do the port for a fee?

Our site has been without a garage for too long and it's becoming very frustrating not having it.

[uReside.com]

I need this too... i dont mind paying.

[DieselTruck]

This would be nice!

[Peejay]

I would like this as well, we used to use it on clubaristo.net before we moved the forum from phpBB to vBulletin. Was a very popular feature. Would be nice to get this ported to vBulletin and import the data over from my phpBB database.

[stwilson]

Add me to the list too. I could use this for my site and would not mind buying a copy of the MOD.

[DJFriar]

I also need this hack, badly! :)

[ASCONAN]

Count me in! I'm also interested in it for opel-club.gr, BIGTIME!!!

[dieselpowered]

We use the Fusion Registry on our ATV site, however, it is for IPB...I would LOVE to have something for our vBulletin site!!

[Duramax 6.6L]

I would also be interested in this

[the_raverX]

we're in the process of considering porting to vBulletin from phpBB and one of the most popular features of our forum was the phpGarage.

Is there any documentation on what might be required to port phpGarage to vBulletin?

[RWerksman]

Wow! I'm extremely interested in get this ported from phpbb over and would be quite willing to throw up some cash to get it done.

[Snkypete]

With all of this interest it is beyond me why someone will not do it - I've even attempted to hire several individuals to take on the project. Even if the cost is $10-15/site I think the investment would be recovered very easily. vB is the largest used forum based software and it is a shame we do not have a garage feature.

[RWerksman]

I'd be willing to pony up for this as well - I'd even be willing to coordinate things if needed.

What can I do to make this happen?


There seems to be sooo much interest in having this done, but no one wants to take it on. :(

[wottech]

Maybe this thread needs to be moved (or a new thread started) into a paid modifications area, since there are plenty of people willing to chip in. If I had the time, I'd try messing with it (started on it a couple years ago, but didn't get too far), but I'm having a hard time trying to find the time to update the content on my site as is, let alone taking on a coding project.

[apex944]

Count me in as a paying customer ... Git 'er done! :)

[Snkypete]

I've essentially given up on this mod unfortunately - it is the most requested update to our forum.

[Andy Dean]

Count me in too! Several users have asked for this and I'd love this mod on my site.

[Blackheart_72]

Same here, would be willing to cough up some dough if released.

[wottech]

I would still mention that the product is basically out there already (Fusion Scripts mod) and Zacariah (sp?) has permission from them to port it over to vBulletin. As was done with the phpBB version, it can then be modified from there. I could be wrong, but I would think it would be easier to start off with a base setup and convert it to function with vB than to start from scratch. But I am all for it and am willing to help out wherever I can.

[bobster1982]

very interested for our site as well..

That is exactly what should be done, but no one wants to do it. I cannot even get people to return PMs or emails - quite sad actually.

[wottech]

Yeah, the sad part is people are still trying to get the timeslip database up and running. They have even gotten someone to "upgrade" it to vB3.7 for like $200 or something. Pretty sad, actually, as the timeslip database is so basic compared to the garage module. Maybe one of these years, I'll get a chance to start working on my port of it....

[bobster1982]

our site is currently having the phpbbgarage mod ported by a member on here for a paid sum. When the mod is complete and provided the member porting the software has no problems with making it available to you guys then I have no problems making this software available to others as well.

[robhole]

I'm so down for this as well... had phpBBGarage on my site and members loved it until the site was hacked and I had to go to a later version of phpBB which could not support garage. (from phpbb2 to 3.)... *** Removed, if you want to pay to have a modification developed, please post in Requests For Paid Services (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=30) ***

That would be amazing - I know myself and am sure others on here would be happy to assist with the fee if need be. I know there is a request for a paid job going unanswered for this as well so hopefully your request is completed! Thank you for your willingness to share!

The timeslip db should actually be incorporated into whatever garage is made, it shouldn't be that difficult to add another section to someone who is skilled.

[wottech]

If the Fusion Scripts module is ported over to vB, then it already has a timeslip database built into it.

[bobster1982]

just like to add to my previous post.. it is looking like we have been taken for a ride :( the rest of my clubs admin are trying to resolve it as we speak

[timallen82]

Oh boy! I have subscribed to this thread!

I am in the process of converting my car-related website over to vBulletin from phpBB, but I am doing some research first so that I have a lot of the same features for my members.

The most favorite mod I have is phpBB Garage.

I am waiting with baited breath to see what develops here.

Although the guy at dodgetalk have not responded to one of the members in this thread, I am going to give it a shot. I will let you know what I find out.

There are about a dozen of us who have the garage functioning and installed on our servers - here is my site :

http://www.lmmc-ct.com/forums/garage.php

So far support has been great from the developer!

[robhole]

My site:

http://www.g5club.net/forum/garage.php

Operational and working great. The support from the developer is great too. There has been a few bugs, I mention it to the developer and he has it fixed within a couple hours/posted for everyone to download a new version. Every version I download, comes with a few extra features too. Members love it and within a day, already had 20 vehicles created by Premium Members (paid group access only), I didn't even need to say anything about it either! I'll say great work!!! Now I have an announcement on the home page. Members love it since we had it with phpBB but lost it after going to vBulletin. Love vBulletin but it was lacking that garage feature which we now have and love!!! :)

Great modification!!! HIGHLY recommended for ANYONE who has any type of automotive/vehicle type forums/site.

[the_raverX]

yes we've got it going at www.qldsupraclub.com/forum/garage.php as well (must be a member to use) and it's coming along nicely

it's still early days for the product (as the developer admits) but his enthusiasm and keenness to fix problems and investigate the options that people want is excellent..

it's not a 1:1 copy of phpGarage/Fusion Scripts, but it's a damn good product .. well worth checking out..

[directprint]

This is one great product, I am using it for bikes and could not have asked for a better product to make some slight changes to names of off you go, this product would adapt to any type of garage you wanted, drag cars, racing cars, racing bikes etc...

As this product is in it's infant stages, you will find the gargage doesn't appear that way, and the support that is offered by the coder is 110%.

Take a look for yourself, http://www.bikesandscooters.com.au/forum/garage.php , I will be making some dark button soon, but layout etc is very good.

[xXLeighXx2008]

Installed onto my new forum as I used phpGarage a lot in the past. Dare I ask: has anyone looked into creating a portal module for random vehicles? Would be handy as again was a setup I had with phpBB.
