DTO Garage - free garage features for all your members (vB 3.8.X)

[MikesSite]

If you edit the "dto_garage_popup_menu" template look for the following:

<if condition="$use_username_in_link">
<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[xs_garage] </phrase>
<else />
Garage
</if>
</a>and change to

<if condition="$use_username_in_link">
<phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[xs_garage] </phrase>
<else />
<!-- Garage -->
<img src="$vboptions[bburl]/images/your-icon-name.gif">
</if>
</a>That should present the icon where the Garage link would normally appear in the postbit.

mferguson,

The random garages feature is breaking my fixed style layout at ~980 pixels width. Would it be possible to add a configuration option to set the number of columns? In my case 3 not 5 is enough...

Thanks!

Hugh,
I'll add this as something to consider for the next release. In the meantime you can manually edit the code to make the needed change. Open dto_garage.php and look for the following:


$width = 5;
$maxResults = 25;


and change it to


$width = 3;
$maxResults = 25;


Thanks!

Mark

[hugh_]

Never mind, I found my answer: $width in dto_garage.php. Still might be nice to include this as an option...

[hugh_]

Missed your reply... Thanks for being so prompt!

[mferguson]

Glad to help and I've already added your suggestion to our tracking system so we can consider getting this into the next release.

Thanks!

One question...
I have the 1.1.1 for 3.8...

Is possible to view ALL GARAGE in a LIST???
For example...thi is a plugin for view ALL ALBUMS...
http://www.clubnuovafiat500.it/forum/all_albums.php

Exist in dto garage???

[mferguson]

With version 1.1.2 of Garage we provide a index page that shows a single page of random garage selections. In the Plus version there are browse functions included that allow you to view by username, recently added, recently modified, and using advanced search. The results from each of these is paged so that you can effectively view all garages.

Depending on the number of garages configured by users they may not be a way to get them all on the screen at one depending though we do provide options for the product that allows you to configure how many are displayed on a given page.

Let me know if you have any other questions as I'm glad to assist.

Thanks!

Mark

You are looking at the plugin code rather than the dto_garage_popup_menu" template. The change you need to make is in the template :up:

Let us know if you need any additional assistance.

LOVE this mod, but it screwed up the nav on all of my custom skins. It only worked on the default skin/style.

You can see in the attached images..

1. worked fine except it is constantly acting as the hover version.

2. took away all of my nav buttons & turned them into links, & moved them.

3. placed the Garage link under the nav area.?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Suggestion..
To be able to add a video or two into the garage. :)
Maybe above the History area.

YouTube, Photobucket, etc.

[mferguson]

If you have BBCode to support YouTube, etc. and you have it enabled for use outside of posts you can use them in the text areas of a Garage now. AME is not currently supported in text areas though since it uses something other than BBCode to render media inline.

If you view our help there should be some information on using BBCode in text areas.

Hope this helps!

I found a little issue. The template: memberinfo_block_dto_garage is uncached.

Please add following plugin:
104195

[mferguson]

Rather than creating another plugin which will force cache this template even when not needed you can just edit the DTO Garage Cache Templates plugin and replace its contents with the following:


$globaltemplates = array_merge($globaltemplates, array(
'dto_garage_navbar',
));

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread' OR
THIS_SCRIPT == 'showpost')
{
$globaltemplates = array_merge($globaltemplates, array(
// garage popup menu
'dto_garage_popup_menu',
'dto_garage_popup_menubit',
'dto_garage_postbit_userinfo',
));
}
else if(THIS_SCRIPT == 'member')
{
$globaltemplates = array_merge($globaltemplates, array(
'dto_garage_profile',
'dto_garage_profile_bit',
'memberinfo_block_dto_garage',
));
}
else if(THIS_SCRIPT == 'usercp' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'dto_garage' OR
THIS_SCRIPT == 'private')
{
$globaltemplates = array_merge($globaltemplates, array(
'dto_garage_usercp',
));
}


As you see above the memberinfo_block_dto_garage is only cached if being called by member.php.

I'll make sure that this update makes it into our code base so it makes it into future releases.

Thanks!

That did it for my issue - all users can now access The Garage.

From the looks of things, it was an issue with a vBadvanced configuration with the Greeting Module in CMPS. A Recent Thread block started showing up, too, and a fix was applied.

Thanks, Mark, for hanging in there.

If think there is a little bug in the navbar.

The first thing is that the dropdown menu is not below the garage link and second the class of the links seems not to be right.

104522
104523

[mferguson]

This typically happens if you have a custom style that has the pop-up menu html contained in the template named "navbar" To fix this I usually have to open the DTO Garage navbar template and cut out some code and paste that code into the vBulletin navbar template for that style. Below is an example of what that might look like:

Original DTO Garage Navbar template

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a id="navbar_garage" href="dto_garage_help.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">Garage</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_garage"); </script>


<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="navbar_garage_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="thead" align="left">Garage</td>
</tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="left"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/dto_garage.php$session[sessionurl_q]?do=index">Garages</a></td></tr>
$dto_garage_plus_search
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="left"><a target="_help" href="$vboptions[bburl]/dto_garage_help.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Help</a></td></tr>
</table>
</div>

</td>


New DTO Garage Navbar template
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a id="navbar_garage" href="dto_garage_help.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">Garage</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_garage"); </script>
</td>

New addition to vBulletin Navbar template



<if condition="$show['popups']">
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="navbar_garage_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="thead" align="left">Garage</td>
</tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="left"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/dto_garage.php$session[sessionurl_q]?do=index">Garages</a></td></tr>
$dto_garage_plus_search
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="left"><a target="_help" href="$vboptions[bburl]/dto_garage_help.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Help</a></td></tr>
</table>
</div>
.
.
.


Again your mileage may vary as all skins are done a little differently. For example in one site we integrated Garage Plus into we had to change the DTO Garage Navbar template from being enclosed in <td> tags to <li> tags while also moving the pop-up menu code to the vBulletin navbar.

Hope this helps!

I looked at our code and the only time that this might occur is if , somehow, the userid for the garage owner is lost. I'm not sure if this would be lost in the database record for the garage or something else. I tried to visit the URL of the garage referenced in the error but receive a "The service is unavailable." message. If you would like to contact me via PM with information on how to access the garage I can try to reproduce the problem.

Thanks!

Mark

[Hostboard]

The server is up and domain is working. I only get "The Service is Unavailable" message when visiting that specific URL.

Here is a link to my personal garage:
http://www.monstermayhem.org/forums/dto_garage.php?&do=viewvehicle&vehicle_id=1000

[mferguson]

I just noticed that the URL provided was bad. I changed this to:

http://www.monstermayhem.org/forums/dto_garage.php?do=viewvehicle&vehicle_id=1000

and was able to view the garage with no issue.

With the above in mind where did you copy the original URL from? Perhaps the issue with the original error was because of a bad URL format emitted by our code.

Thanks!

Mark

[Hostboard]

The text was copied and pasted directly from the email I got when the erorr was generated.

[mferguson]

Very strange. Have you seen any other errors similar to this before? It looks like you have a good number of garages already in place.

At the minimum there doesn't appear to be any data integrity issues with the garage itself. For some reason a query was executed trying to determine what to put in the header relative to the garage owner's avatar and it couldn't retrieve that information for some reason.

If you are open to the idea of monitoring to see if this happens again perhaps we can find the pattern and identify what may be causing the retrieval of the avatar to fail. Hopefully we'll see a similar error occur but on a different garage.

Best regards,

Mark

[Hostboard]

The site was recently moved and we lost avatars somewhere along with some other minor annoyances so members have been re-uploading sporadically. I am wondering now that you said that if that could have casued the issue?

If it happens again I wil be happy to let you know.

[mferguson]

The issues could be related. Keep me informed and feel free to PM me directly if you see other issues. Thanks!

Mark

[tidefans]

We chose to not develop commenting and reviews since we wanted to gather site owner requirements for these features. As you can imagine these features could easily be abused by members/visitors by way of artificially driving up/down a garage rating, inappropriate comments relative to your site guidelines, etc. Given this I wanted to gather input on how owners would like to see these features managed and calculated (ratings) so that they minimize admin monitoring and provide something useful to the members.

As for the SQL error are you still receiving these? It looks like the above might have been displayed in rendering a Garage pop-up menu.

Thanks!

Mark


I would LOVE to see both commenting and ratings available. Obviously, these could be option-enabled in the admincp for sites like mine where comments on the cars would most likely be positive and appreciated.

thanks for a great product. My members love it!

[mferguson]

Thanks for the feedback. This is something that we're looking at including in a future release of Garage Plus. I'm not sure it will make it into our October release but we'll see what's required and will try to get it in it if we can. Thanks!

Hey Mark. We just completed the conversion process from our old photo gallery to your new software plugin. We now have 3600+ entries. Unfortunately, not all have photos, but about 1/2 do at this time. If anyone wants to check it out, here's a link to a random page in the garage listings:

If I'm not mistaken these are the same templates you reported a couple of weeks ago correct? If so, the change to the global_start plugin you mentioned will resolve this or, alternatively, you can edit our cache_templates plugin. To do this:

Look for

else if(THIS_SCRIPT == 'usercp' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'dto_garage' OR
THIS_SCRIPT == 'private')
{
$globaltemplates = array_merge($globaltemplates, array(
'dto_garage_usercp',

));
}

Mark

[mferguson]

Does this also have a display on the FORUMHOME of the members galleries?

Currently we have published a set of vBadvanced modules, one of which provides a random garage display on any page you wish. If you are using vBadvanced this could easily be included in the FORUMHOME display. If you don't use vBadvanced the FORUMHOME template could be modified to include a template hook that would, with a corresponding plugin, support garages being displayed in this view. Unfortunately in looking through the standard template there are only template hooks after the display of forums and around the What's Going On area.

Feel free to contact me via PM and let me know what kind of display you are looking for and perhaps I can assist.

Thanks

This is due to your custom style not liking the garage navbar pop-up menu being defined inline. Take a look at

this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1887008&postcount=295)

as it addresses how to split the dto_garage_navbar template so that it works well with custom styles. Additionally you will need to change the <td> classes in the dto_garage_navbar to match the way your style using <td class="thead">.

If you still have trouble please mark this mod as installed and I can help you further.

Thanks!

For the free version of Garage there are no usergroup-related permissions. All users get one garage each in the free version. With the paid version usergroup permissions (if and how many garages each usergroup has) and other features such as browse, search, vBSEO suport, etc. are included.

Okay thank you!

The last message was to fast written.

Will the new edition fully phrased?

[gnatster]

Not Yet... this is an interim release. We are working on the fully phased version of Garage and all of our products. Look for these releases later in the month please.

[kjsmith84]

ok maybe i missed it some where but is there a way to moderate the garage in case some clown post a pic that is not allowed or writes something they are not suppost to??

[mferguson]

We are planning to include the ability to edit/delete garages if you have administrative rights for Garage in the 1.2.0 release of Garage Plus. For the current version of Garage we have been recommending the use of the Cyb Login to User Account (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201286) add-on as it will allow you to act as the user and therefore you can edit the user's garage however you require.

Thanks!

I get this error when i installed this mod.. actually upgraded

Fatal error: Call to undefined function generate_garage_user_profile() in /home2/makingf1/public_html/ladiesletsride/forum/member.php(463) : eval()'d code on line 165

Can you verify that you have the file FORUMROOT/includes/functions_dto_garage_common.php installed?

To make that you have all the current files be sure to copy all the contents on the upload directory (found in the product .zip) into your FORUMROOT directory.

Thanks!

Mark

[Blacura]

ok i checked that file and its in the right directory but i noticed its at 0 bytes

[gnatster]

ok i checked that file and its in the right directory but i noticed its at 0 bytes

Please verify that the file in the unzipped package does contain data. The file size is 12KB. If so please upload the file overwriting the current one.

If not please download the package again. I have verified the download does contain the proper file with the proper data.

[Blacura]

I checked and it is unzipped and it's 12kb and i don't understand. when i upload it its not overwriting the other file its just going in at 0 bytes

what can i do?

[gnatster]

Delete the file on your server.

Verify it is deleted and then upload again please.

[mferguson]

Not being able to overwrite the file might indicate some type of strange permissions on the file. As Nathan (gnatster) mentions if you delete the version on your server completely and then reupload it should go in with the complete file size.

Let us know what you find. Thanks!

Mark

[Blacura]

ok i got it to work so now the mod works.. only thing that is not working now is the garage of the week on the vbadvanced page.. any info on that? and by the way thanks

[mferguson]

The current version of the Garage of the Week (day or month) requires that you manually enter the id of a garage in the configuration options of that module. In our Garage help (either in the product or in the Support >> Documentation (http://www.drivethruonline.com/help/) area of our site) you will find everything you need regarding the vBa modules under the Administrator >> vBadvanced CMPS Modules section.

Thanks!

Mark

[Kolbi]

Thank you for the update.

But there are stil these templates not valid: dto_garage_popup_menubit, dto_garage_vehicle_view_imagebits

[gnatster]

Thank you for the update.

But there are stil these templates not valid: dto_garage_popup_menubit, dto_garage_vehicle_view_imagebits

Are you sure the templates have been replaced with the latest versions?

Checking again in both our test and beta environments neither of these templates are reported when in debug mode.

If you are referring to XHTML validation this will be addressed with the phrasing in 1.2

[Kolbi]

Okay, I actually was talking about XHTML validation.
Then let?s see what 1.2 will bring us :)

[XtremeOffroad]

This looks interesting.
I have searched a few pages and disnt find an answer, Are the text fields editable?
I have started a forum for Snowmobilers and would like to use this for members to add info about their Sleds.
Thanks

Edit: From the screenshot it looks like they are.
I need to look more closely next time.
Gonna install this for sure.
Thanks I was needing something like this.

[mferguson]

Ray - when you install Garage there are product options that allow you to do a level of customization on the labels of the sections and subsections. For the end-user, when they are enter their garage data they can enter whatever text and pictures they wish. In fact, if you have bbCode enabled for areas outside of forums you can also use bbCode to embed additional pictures, style text, embed videos (if you have bbCode to support this), etc. in the text areas.

Also - thanks for your email on Drive Thru Online.com. I'll follow up to your questions there in the next couple of minutes.

At http://www.2-wheel-planet.de/profile.php?do=editoptions there is another little issue :)
Uncached templates: dto_garage_usercp (1)

:)

[mferguson]

I've verified this and will add this to our next release fixes.

In regard to the UserCP interface for Garage I would like some feedback. With the addition of My Garage in the navbar link we are considering removing the UserCP method of accessing and managing garages. We are considering this because of a number of factors. The first is that this, in comparison to the navbar option, is quite hidden the user has to be educated where it is located. The second is that in order to deliver this functionality we require the site owner to modify the USERCP_SHELL template since there is not a template hook present. This will present a problem if/when vB delivers an update version of this template.

The question is would site owners and members find removing the manage garage functionality from UserCP a problem?

Thanks for the feedback!

Mark

[Kolbi]

I would say, that this modification should/can be optionally.
People who use TMS doesn?t matter about vb updates.
I would prefer if the USERCP_SHELL modification wouldn?t be removed in further versions.

That?s my opinion :)

[Miss Chatterbox]

Oh dear I really am having one of "those" days! Sometimes I think technology hates me!

Right well I've tried installing this and when I clicked on garages in the navbar I got an error message saying "could not find dto_garage.php" on the server.

Any ideas why this has happened? I've uploaded the "upload" folder to my forum's root directory and chmod the images folder to 0777 so I don't know what I've missed. :(

Maybe I should just go to bed and then hopefully everthing will be fixed when I wake up! lol!

Also, just to confirm did you copy everything from the upload directory in the package to your forum root directory? You should see dto_garage.php in your forum root if everything got copied up correctly.

Hello Mark,
at first -> thanks for this great mod, i was searching for something like that for a long time ;)

But:
I've got some questions and some "things to do".

question 1:
Is it possible, to allow more than 3 pictures per categorie? I'd like to allow something about 4 or 5 picture in every categorie like "under the hood" and "interior".
Is there a way, to have there an option at the acp to set a number of allowed pictures? (May be in a future version???)
If not, is there a easy way to set a higher number of allowed pictures per plug-in or php-code changes?


question 2:
Can you do an option in the ACP to turn the "automatic appearing links" (postbit, navbar, memberinfo, ...) ON or OFF?
This would be nice ;)


question 3:
I don't use SEO.
In your GOLD-version SEO is listet. Can this version be used WITHOUT having SEO installed?


question 4:
What currency do have?
The GOLD-version is about 95.- xx?


Some found "bugs":
vBulletin is full xhtml-valid.
Your add-on even not! :(
But i think, an xhtml-valide code can easy be done.
For example, you should

replace <br> by <br />
close every img-tag by using " />" at the end of every img-code, like: [....]/1/1000t.jpg" />
sometimes you have double specifications like : <td align="left" class="alt1" align="center">
in the tag >fieldset> the attribute "width" can't be used
some "tr-tags" are missed between "table" and "td"
insted of "<hr>" u shuold use "<hr />" (if the tag isn't closed by an "/hr"-Tag)
hardcoded "phrases" -> fully phrased out is better for translations (i know, you will do this in future version)
...


I think, i will use your add-on in my board. To use the free or the gold-version depends on what feauture can be made real, and using xhtml.

[mferguson]

Chris,
Thanks for your post. I've addressed your questions below. Let me know what additional questions you may have. Thanks!

Mark

There are currently no plans to support more images per section since our ShowCase product is really to be more flexible in this respect as well as providing the ability to customize all of the information you share in a garage or whatever other interest your site focuses on.



If this was done there would be no easy way to navigate back to the garage index page or jump to the member's other garages. Currently these are displayed more for navigation purposes and to provide consistency with the rest of vBulletin user interfaces so that it integrates more tightly into the rest of a vBulletin community. To date this is the first time a ACP option to turn on/off this information has been requested.

[QUOTE=Za4a Tune]
question 3:
I don't use SEO.

Yes. The Garage Plus product can be used with or without vBSEO. Here (http://www.drivethruonline.com/images/vbulletin-garage-versus-garageplus.gif) is a list of the differences between Garage and Garage Plus.


question 4:
What currency do have?
The GOLD-version is about 95.- xx?


The currency is in US Dollars. We accept payment via Paypal.


Some found "bugs":
vBulletin is full xhtml-valid.

hardcoded "phrases" -> fully phrased out is better for translations (i know, you will do this in future version)
...



Since we have been quite surprised by the amount of interest in our products outside of the US our next version of Garage Plus will be fully phrased and we will also address XHTML compliance. That said most browsers will render our products well now without XHTML compliance if the DOCTYPE in vBulletin is not set to a strict XHTML DTD. Regardless its something that we'll be addressing in a release sometime in the future.



I think, i will use your add-on in my board. To use the free or the gold-version depends on what feauture can be made real, and using xhtml.

Call me blind, but I am not seeing how I can add more than one vehicle per garage. Any way to extend this?

Sorry if I missed it, I tried searching, but you know how that goes.

[mferguson]

Michael,

The free version of DTO Garage only supports one garage per user. Garage Plus (http://www.drivethruonline.com/products/dto_garageplus.php), our paid version, allows you to set up any number of garages on a usergroup-by-usergroup permission basis. Garage Plus also includes a number of other features such as CRRs, sitemap add-ons, and search/browse features. For a complete list of the differences click here (http://www.drivethruonline.com/images/vbulletin-garage-versus-garageplus.gif).

Thanks!

Hello,

I am having some issues with this mod. The installation was easy enough and I believe I have all the settings and permissions correctly.

However, when I try and upload an image, it does not create the image itself. It creates the folder in /user/1/ folder, but it does not upload the image and it leaves a broken link.

http://www.toyochat.com/forums/ <-- please note that this forum is not open yet to the public until I get the kinks taken out.

Thanks!

[mferguson]

Can you verify that you have the directory {FORUMROOT}/images/dto_garage/users in place and that the directory has full read/write permissions (777)?

If I try to go to http://www.toyochat.com/forums/images/dto_garage/ or http://www.toyochat.com/forums/images/dto_garage/usersI get a forbidden message so I suspect that the directory doesn't exist or isn't readable/writable by all.

If you would like me to log in and look more closely just PM me and we can work out the details.

Thanks!

Mark

[Wsh]

Hey Mark,

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes the directories are there, directory browsing is not allowed on the site so that's why you may be getting the denial errors.

You have a PM with info.

Thanks for all your help!

[kjsmith84]

is there a way to see ALL of the garages and not just the random # garages

[gnatster]

The ability to view all of the Garages is one of the differences between the "lite" version we offer for free and the paid version.

[thesupermario69]

Hi,

Im having a problem when a member first creates their garage. The image folder that is automatically created for their user login, eg "forum/images/dto_garage/users/32" does not get the 0777 permissions that the rest of the folders have. Instead I am having to go in and manually change the permissions to 0777 each time a new user folder is created

The folder "forum/images/dto_garages/users" has been given 0777 permissions and told to give all sub-folders the same permissions

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance :D

Thanks in advance :D

What type of hosting do you have? Is it a shared server, VPS or dedicated?

In theory when the /images/dto_garage/users has the 0777 level of permissions this should ripple to all sub dirs on creation. You may want to contact your host to see if they have something in place to prevent this action.

[mferguson]

We had another customer with this same type of issue. In his case it was because his host was running PHP in safe mode. Often there is an option in your control panel to change this behavior or, at worst, you have to create a custom php.ini for your installation. Regardless its something that your host should be able to set up for you.

Thanks!

Mark

Has this been resolved?

[thesupermario69]

The ISP were being typically useless so I came up with a small work around

The site only has 60 odd members at the moment so I created folders from 1 up to 100 in the /images/dto_garage/users directory and set all of the correct permissions and everything has stuck

So I think I will continue to do that and just keep an eye on it

[gnatster]

Interesting workaround.

Sorry to hear the ISP is being a bear to work with.

We have been speaking with customers of our paid versions regarding their plans to migrate to vB4. Currently, because of the number of plugins that they would need to have migrated and may or may not be currently supported, they are delaying their migrations to see how vB4 matures and 3rd party support has a chance to catch up. With this in mind it may be several months until we fully support vB4 for our products. That said I have done some preliminary work and have some portions of our products working with vB4.

So there is only room for one vehicle in the free version?

That is correct. With the paid version you can set any number of garages on a usergroup-by-usergroup basis. For a full list of differences between the versions click here (http://www.drivethruonline.com/images/vbulletin-garage-versus-garageplus.gif).

Please keep in mind that there are a couple of features noted in the free version (ie - edit/delete member garages as an admin) that have not yet been updated in the version on vb.org. I expect that to be released in the next few weeks.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Best regards,

Mark

[zeus_r6]

It's a cool mod, but $95?

Finding it very hard to justify that amount for a hack

[mferguson]

No problem. We offer very prompt support, documentation, and actively develop our products. To offer a product with these services it costs a bit more. If those aren't critical to your site then I completely understand and we probably aren't the best solution for you. If, however, you do I think you find that we're a great group of people to work with.

Regardless try out the free version and let me know if there are any additional questions I can address for you.

Best regards,

Mark

[audis3]

Is there a chance for a better price?

Because i'm interested too, but 95$ i think it's a little bit expensive.

If you make a discount due to Christmas days...

[mferguson]

We actually have a 15% off sale running on all our products now through the end of the December 2009. On January 1, 2010 our prices will be back to normal and no discounting will be available unless multiple copies are purchased. If this interests you just order through our site using Paypal. Once the purchase is complete I'll review the order and issue you a 15% refund via Paypal off your total purchase.

Customer Testimonials

"Just wanted to let everyone know that we just purchased Garage Plus and had it installed in under 15 minutes."

"The documentation was great and the product worked exactly as advertised. We did not run into a single issue during installation and the product is now on a live site and working flawlessly."

"Kudos to the DTO team for making a turn-key product that feels really polished."*

"Wow! I'm totally impressed with your company. I have people ask me all the time to recommend software and hosts for forums. I'll make sure to put DTO at the top of my list to recommend from now on. I'll also be adding your software to some of my other forums very soon."

"I would heavily recommend software from Drive Thru online not solely based*on their products although they are obviously extremely good, it's the*fanatical support you receive when you need urgent help or just need to ask*what I deemed to be urgent questions. Every time I have dealt with these*guys they have been professional and respectful to my demands. The guys will*have me coming back for software time and time again."

"95 bucks is worth the service you get. I wish other coders had the support DTO has."

Steven,
My apologies for not being able to reach you directly. Since there is no way to determine who has been using our free products via vb.org I had attempted to reach you after finding your site via Google. I obviously did not find the correct admin to message and for that I offer my sincere apologies. If you no longer wish to upgrade because of this I completely understand and I will continue to support you with the free version the best that I can.

Again, my apologies.

Actually I tried to use your Contact Us link since I knew I could reach you that way. Unfortunately when I went to your home page and clicked on Contact Us link in the "If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact contact us." section (when you aren't logged in) I received a "404 - Not found error". I just checked and am still seeing the same thing.

Regardless, my apologies for not identifying the best person to contact directly and creating an issue with your users.

I love the garage plugin and it has become one of those mods my users love.
Right now I'm just using the free version which gets me by fine. The one major thing keeping me from the plus version is the pricing

I have a couple questions
1. I noticed branding free option listed, is that an additional cost for plus, or just included as part of the cost?

2. I am moving to vb4 very soon. will the free and/or plus be available for 4.0

Branding free is an additional one time fee on top of the regular license.

Its our plan to support both free and Plus on vB4. While I don't have a time line I can share right now I fully expect versions to be available in the 1st quarter of 2010.

Whats about translations? Especially a german translation ..

THX

German:
Also ich habe die DTO Garage Version selber ?bersetzt. Dieses kostenlose Version ist halt leider auch hardgecodet, d.h. Templates m?ssen auch ?bersetzt werden und nicht nur Phrasen.

Bei der DTO Garage Plus Version sind nun nur (fast nur) Phrasen vorhanden und man kann diese "ganz easy" (wenn man Englisch kann) selber ?bersetzen. Du kannst ja mal auf meiner Seite: www.2-wheel-planet.de dir meine Garage anschauen.

English:
To have a German Garage version you have to translate it for your own.
Actually DTO Garage is not fully phrased so you have to translate templates, too.
Currently DTO Garage Plus is fully phrased and easilier to translate. But Mark told us that the free version will be fully phrased soon.

[mferguson]

Kolbi - Thanks for the follow up while I was away from my computer over the holidays.

Yes. Since German is not a native language for us and I only know a few words we only provide the means to perform the translation yourself. Currently Garage Plus is fully phrased and I hope to be able to offer a new version of the free version sometime soon that will be fully phrased, contain several new features, etc.

Thanks!

Mark

[sydude]

This looks like a very good mod that I would be interested in using, but for me $95 is way too much for what you're getting. No try for me.

[mferguson]

No problem. For many it is too expensive and we understand. That said our goal has always been to provide outstanding support, actual product documentation on all aspects of product use (admin and end user), and active product development. With this in mind we don't feel that we can offer a product at a lower price and still provide these things. Regardless feel free to make use of the free version and, if at some point you see the value in upgrading, we'll be happy to support you.

Best regards,

Mark

[SonicGT]

I've upgraded my site to 4.x and just disabled garage, I'm hoping that once you guys release a compatible version I can just re-enable it and all the data doesn't get lost for my users. Also if I were to upgrade to pro I'm assuming it all just ports over and no data loss as well

That's correct. I've been working on a vB4 version of Garage Plus and hope to have it available some time in late February. As for upgrading from the free version to Plus you are correct. The data is brought forward.

Thanks

[Glynn58]

Had to uninstall as i can see no way to moderate the members garages except through ftp, this would be a diaster if spammers or a disgruntled member uploaded unsuitable images.

Looked to be a excellent mod otherwise.

[mferguson]

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by moderating through ftp but the Garage Plus version provides, as an administrator, the ability to edit and delete user garages. Additionally with usergroup-based permissions you can control which users have access to their own garages.

If you need any additional information about the differences in the free versus paid versions feel free to PM me and we can speak offline.

Best regards,

Mark

[Glynn58]

By ftp i meant going to the users directory and manualy deleting the images.

I would love the plus version but $95 is way beyond me sorry.

[mferguson]

No problem. I understand. Thanks for your interest anyway.

Mark

[lorenii]

Any word on the vB4.0 version?

[mferguson]

I just got our ShowCase product into test after added support for vB4. Our Vendor Tools product is next, and then Garage Plus and Clubs. After Clubs is released I'll release the free version of Garage. ShowCase was our most complex to migrate so I expect that the other products will go much more quickly. Thanks!

Mark

[lorenii]

Awesome Mark! Looking forward to the garage plus!

[SVT242]

Any updates for a 4.0 compatible release?

[mferguson]

We just released our vB4 compatible version of our ShowCase product (paid). This is our most complex product and required a lot of changes to work with vB4. That said many of the user interfaces will transfer over to Garage.

Our product release schedule will be Vendor Tools, Garage Plus, Clubs, then Garage (free) but I expect that to take some time to work through.

hi mferguson

thanks for the great garage plugin
I am in the process of testing out the features before deciding on the plus version.
at the moment, the DTO Garage is probably the easiest to setup and comprehensive but not annoying.

Anyway,
I have One problem.
I can't seem to upload images by url

it returns me with an error that says:

The URL entered could not be opened.

Click here if your browser does not automatically redirect you.

I have check the folder permissions.
Could this be a vbulletin issue? if yes, what could it be may i ask?

Please visit our site and open a support ticket (upper right corner Customer Sign In link). I'll be happy to take a look at what the issue may be.

Tom,
Its likely you php.ini does not have allow_url_fopen to be set to true. This isn't a setting that many hosts like to implement as it could be a potential security issue. That said, in our latest release of Garage Plus, we no longer depend on this setting and use other vBulletin functionality to do the same thing.

Thanks!

Mark

[6piston]

hi gnatster, thanks!

mferguson
thanks for the reply
in that case, i will take some time to think about purchasing the plus version

According to the website, Garage Plus is now ava. for 4.0!!!

Yes. Garage Plus 2.0.0 (for vB4) was released last Friday. If anyone needs a demo of the product or additional information please contact us via our site and we'll be glad to assist.

Hi mferguson,

I installed your hack and everything seems to work fine except for uploading an image into my garage from another server.

Error message:

Warnung: fopen() [function.fopen]: Filename cannot be empty in [path]/dto_garage.php (Zeile 977)

Warnung: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in [path]/dto_garage.php (Zeile 978)

Warnung: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in [path]/dto_garage.php (Zeile 979)

Warnung: getimagesize() [function.getimagesize]: Filename cannot be empty in [path]/dto_garage.php (Zeile 982)

Do you know what the problem could be?

[powerwheelie]

oh, just read the post above. any workaround tips?

[mferguson]

In this version of Garage you must enable allow_url_fopen via your php.ini. In later versions of Garage Plus we removed this dependency and utilize one of the interfaces provided in vBulletin.

Thanks!

Mark

[powerwheelie]

Mark, my users complained about not being able to put more than 1 bike in their garage. I see that the upgrade for more vehicles is available with DTO Garage Plus. But I don´t see the reason behind paying roughly 100 bucks for just this upgrade. Are there plans to make a plus light version of the DTOG?

Or maybe to buy that multiple vehicle add on upgrade seperately...?

[mferguson]

There are no current plans to provide enhanced functionality in our base Garage product. That said the Plus version is more actively developed and there are a number of features beyond just more vehicles in a garage that are included in the product such as better browse and search functions, usergroup-based permissions for garages (ie - for different groups allow different numbers of garages), vBSEO Sitemap and vBSEO rewrite rules, vb4 support, etc.

If you would like a more extensive demo of what's in our current versions of Garage Plus just contact us (http://www.drivethruonline.com/contact.php) through our web site and we'll arrange a demo with you.

Thanks

Mark

I installed everything seemed ok, but after reading the continuing steps I found no dto_garage/users directory I created one and set permissions. Furthermore while the mod is enabled my forum acts up such that if i click on a thread I get;

The website cannot display the page
HTTP 500
Most likely causes:
The website is under maintenance.
The website has a programming error.

What you can try:
Refresh the page.

Go back to the previous page.

DTO Garage does only allow for one Garage per user. DTO Garage Plus allows for as many Garages as desired by usergroup.

DTO Garage Plus is available for purchase on our web site.

Per their license:
The Software source code may be altered and/or modified by You, but DTO will not provide support for alterations/modifications to the Software. Altered/modified Software is subject to this Agreement and may not be redistributed.

It's only two lines of code in the dto_garage.php file.

Great hack, but the copyright on every page...stinks.

Agreed. What other mod includes and REQUIRES their copyright on every page? I'm most likely going to end up uninstalling it for that sole reason. Quite irritating for a mod to try to advertise on every page. Bottom of garage pages, sure. That's quite normal.

Ah, my bad. :( works fine now. Thak you on fast reply.

One more thing, if I may ask. I use User CP Icons. How can I setup my own icons for garage?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/12/64.jpg

To add images to the options you would need to edit the "dto_garage_usercp" template and insert the icons you want immediately before each option.

Thanks!

any1 a GERMAN TRANSLATION for this mod?

I think the Mod is exactly was i want, i need in GERMAN fpr me and the members.

can any1 help me?

Please! ;)

[mferguson]

There isn't a german version of DTO Garage. That said our Garage Plus (http://www.drivethruonline.com) product is fully phrased and we include documentation on the phrasing so you can do the translation yourself if you need a languag other than English supported.

Thanks!

Thx 4 answer,

sorry the + is to high (price) for my small forum.

I have only one more issue. I simply cant edit link color in links inside navbar popup.

They remain white as on this screenshot:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/01/39.jpg

They should be red like the rest of links. I did not change any of classes. They are all default.

This is what should look like:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/01/40.jpg

[mferguson]

Given the style you have on your site I would recommend that you look at how the drop down list of something like community or search is styled. Typically there is a class defined on each of the drop down items so you just need alter our navbar template to use these same classes.

Thanks

Mark

[kNeeLy]

is there anyway to make like a display of pictures on the forum home page? Like, maybe of newest installed car, or random car pics? Kinda like vHoist has? I have un-installed vhoist and installed DTO, and am loving it.

I have the VBA module installed, but I would really love to show 4-5 pictures in a row on the main page....

[mferguson]

In our Garage Plus product you have a lot more control over how the block is installed and displayed. For Garage you can modify the vBadvanced code found in the modules directory to suit your needs more closely.

Thanks!

Hi! I just did, and classess in dto_garage_navbar are the same as the original style navbar and drop down menus, but the link in dto garage are remains same as in the screenshot above.

Edited dto_garage_navbar

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a id="navbar_garage" href="$vboptions[bburl]/dto_garage_help.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">Gara?a</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_garage"); </script>

<if condition="$useMyGarage">
<tr>
<td style="cursor: default;" class="vbmenu_option vbmenu_option_alink"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/dto_garage.php$session[sessionurl_q]?do=editgarage">My garage</a></td>

So, where from is he pulling styles?

Could this be the problem?

<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_garage"); </script>

Please, help.

[mferguson]

Its really difficult to diagnose this types of issues without seeing the site and code. If you would be willing to come to our site (http://www.drivethruonline.com/) you can register and then open a ticket. Once we have that information I can log in and figure out what's going on. I've done enough of these types of adjustments that it should be pretty quick to resolve.

You can also PM me directly if you would be more comfortable.

Thanks

Can someone please help me, I have past members who have gone adn would like to delete their garage but cant find anything anywhere on where to do it.

Its a fantastic product btw.

[mferguson]

There isn't direct support for this in the free version. That said if you use Cyb's Login to User Account plugin (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=177947) you can find the garage of the person you want to delete, click on the user's name to go to their profile, and then login as that user. Once logged in just click on UserCP and go to Manage Garage and delete the garage.

Hope this helps!

Hey is there a fix for this clashing with YAAS? (Yet another awards system)? I can't go to my www. ur/ forum / awards.php page with DTO installed. It's listed in the award system thread.

I've never done any work with YAAS and haven't looked at the code. Was there a recent release of the product?

I noticed that your site has taken down the "available soon" for 4.0 on the garage version.

The admincp panel of the award system works fine. You can hand out awards, no problem, but, if you got to your main award page, which would be like www . yoururl . com /forum / awards.php it brings up that error. I disabled DTO and it takes away the problem.

I really like DTO, as I was using vhoist, and would like to keep it that way, but I'm gonna have to do something, as my members can't get to the main award page to request awards ect.

I guess, from what the poster above a few says, that it's something in adminfunction.php. But I looked in there and I can't tell what he quote"commented out" to make it work. That's why I figured you guys, that actually know what the hell your doing, could prolly solve this with ease.

If you need an example go to mine, www.tunemytoyota.com/forum/awards.php. It will show you the same error as listed above.

Once I disable DTO, the page appears fine.

Hope this helps.

[mferguson]

Sorry for the delay in responding.

There are two things to check. The first is refer to our documentation regarding permissions of the images/dto_garage/users directory. Make sure that you have 777 access set for that directory and all files under it. The way to apply this is using "chmod -R 777 users" to make it recurse through the directories.

If the problem still exists after the above it will indicate that the database thinks the file is in the file system but it really isn't. If you click on the image and choose to delete it you should delete the entry from the database and throw the unlink warning as above. After that though you should no longer have any issues.

The permissions setting is key to resolving these cases so be sure to refer to our docs at http:/www.drivethruonline.com/help for Garage specific help on this.

Thanks!

Is there a way to force users to upload main picture if they want to create garage?

[mferguson]

Not in the free version of Garage. In our Garage Plus we offer a setting that the admin can set determining if a main image is required or not. If the image is required the user can create his/her garage but until they upload a main image the garage is not visible to other users.

Thanks!

No. The only thing similar would be DTO_vehicle_images. That table must be from some other plugin.

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './includes/functions_dto_garage_common.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/supercar/public_html/dto_garage.php on line 80

Anyone know what i need to do?

I've replied to the support ticket you opened on our site. It appears that the directory structure included in our package was not honored when uploaded to your site. This resulted in files being misplaced and the error you mentioned. If the directory structure is preserved and uploaded into your forums home directory the error should resolve.

Thanks

I have a question for mferguson or any other coders...

DTO Garage results page (which is the actual completed garage view) is VIEWABLE to all, logged in or not....

I have a closed forum, simply put, You need to be a member, but everyone's Garage is visible without logging in to anyone outside the site that has a garage link...

DTO's responce is that they created it to be viewable by all... logged in or not.

There has to be a simple code or a couple template steps I can make that will make this only visible to 'logged in members only'.

Can anyone lend a hand or suggest a few codes I could try to make this so??

I really think someone's Garage, with personal pics and all, should be PRIVATE and I don't want any of my forum members to feel uncomfortable.

[mferguson]

Given that I'm in the mountain time zone I didn't have a chance to respond on our company forum before you posted to vb.org so I'm replying both locations.

To answer your question there is some code to do this. You just need to edit the dto_garage.php and look for the last use of require_once near the top of the file. Immediately after that paste in the following:


if(!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
print_no_permission();


save the file. Now if anyone that isn't logged in tries to access any of the functions supported in this file you will get a message and login prompt.

In our Garage Plus product we offer the option for the site member to determine if each of his garages is private (meaning no one can view it), public (everyone including visitors), or just friends in his buddy list can view his garage. Based on the setting it will determine whether or not its displayed in the index of garages, garage drop downs displayed in posts, etc.

[Frosti]

Once again, thnx ... love the product and as I said over on your forums I will upgrading if the users take to the garages well...

Others might wanna take note about this also... :D

Somewhere in here or maybe at the DTO site it talks about that... I forgot where but you are not the first.

Hi!

I noticed something today after six months of using this great mod.

Thing is when I delete a photo from profile, photo is not visible but it still remains on server. Why?

Also, how to detect all previously 'deleted' photos that are still on server?

UPDATE 30/8/11: It was a error with server cache. Solved.

Hi Mark,

Wonderful mod. :)

Is there a "nice" way to move the link/popup to another portion of the post bit? I'm having an issue moving it to the area below the postinfo field, where the online status and infraction icons are. Or if I could put the link/popup before the YahooIM, Facebook, etc links that would be fantastic. I can't figure out the "Gotcha!" to this one...

Thanks!

[mferguson]

The only way is to move the template hook where the link gets inserted. This will be in your postbit or postbit legacy template. Keep in mind though that if you have any other mods that also utilize this templat hook location that those will move location as well.

Thanks

Mark

[Feign]

Thanks for the reply Mark.

Hope that I don't misunderstand what you said; I would have to move the entire "$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_left]" ?

I've been trying to integrate it into the $post[postid] popup menu. I've gotten as far as inserting text into that field (Username's Garage) but, it will not link to the user's garage. This is all that I am after. So, I'd like to do away with the entire notion of a popup including the standard "Garage" link and popup. Is it not possible?

[mferguson]

In the postbit template there are the following template_hook locations:

postbit_start
postbit_userinfo_left
postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts
postbit_userinfo_right
postbit_messagearea_start
postbit_signature_start
postbit_signature_end
postbit_controls
postbit_end
postbit_user_popup

in our DTO Garage Postbit Pop-up Menu plugin we use the postbit_userinfo_right template hook.

If you are trying to change the popup menu that we provide to something that only shows the a link to that user's garage you would need to rewrite what the above mentioned plugin is doing. Effectively you would need to query the database to find the id of the user's garage entry and then, if a id was retrieved, return a link that would look something like the following:

www.yoursitehere.com/forums/dto_garage.php?do=viewvehicle&vehicle_id=1028

where the vehicle_id value is whatever you retrieved from your database query.

In our paid product the popup menu shows all the garages that a person may have so this was the reason we didn't do this in the free version.

Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks

Mark

Understood. It does help a lot Mark. I appreciate the reply back. I may hit you up again. :)

Hi there!

Could you tell me please what table and value do I need to alter using phpMyAdmin if I want to reassign Garage profile from one mebmer to another?

[gnatster]

The table is `DTO_garage_vehicle`

Value would be 'userid' as it corresponds to the users numerical id

[Jimmy_z]

.zip wouldn't open on my machine (mac) said I have the wrong permissions. But DID open when downloaded from developers site.

Not sure what was going on there :)

[karabaja3]

Hi there!

Is it possible to run SQL query to set all garages from 'hidden' to 'public'?

[gnatster]

Hi there!

Is it possible to run SQL query to set all garages from 'hidden' to 'public'?

Yes, you will want to change the entry in the field "display" in the table "DTO_garage_vehicle" from "0" to "1"

[karabaja3]

Yes, you will want to change the entry in the field "display" in the table "DTO_garage_vehicle" from "0" to "1"

Would this be the correct SQL query syntax for that?

UPDATE DTO_garage_vehicle SET display = "1" WHERE display = "0"

[karabaja3]

What do I need to change in order to disable the creation of a new garage without the main photo?

[gnatster]

What do I need to change in order to disable the creation of a new garage without the main photo?

That is a feature of the paid product.

[karabaja3]

That is a feature of the paid product.
Paid product is too expensive, and offers a really little compared to the free version. Especially for such a trifle as the condition for adding main photo. :(

[DaSpyda]

I was wondering if there is a feature to have a link to a Member's Garage in the Profile box like under their avatar or location?

Thank you!
