vBGarage v3.1.1 (now with GD-Lib support!)

[aussiev8]

is there anyway to check to see if the user has a car in the garage? I want to write a series of hacks !

[cinq]

Do a check to see if there is an entry for that particular userid in vbgarage_users

[noppid]

Don't forget this after you upgrade to 3.0.4, the queries are the imoprtant part, the bitmasks should have been updated for previous upgrades of vB.

noppid, thanks for the info. Unfortunately, that's not working for me as it's telling me that "error desc: Table 'forum.settinggroup' doesn't exist", I can't even get past the first query, argh!

Also, my comments system has disappeared. Everything else is working but the admin controls and comments. Where do i go from here?

edit: It appears that the query tool is insisting that my tables start with forum_ instead of the prefix I've assigned. I altered those queries to work, but how do I fix it so I don't have to do that each time?

[javo]

Ok I hope someone can help me.. I installed vBGarage about 2 months ago and all has worked fine..
I upgraded to vb 3.0.4 this morning now I am the only person that can get in the garage..

Can someone point me in the right direction??

Thanks.

[javo]

I think I am getting closer..
I re-edited the usergroup.php and init.php files and I can at least go into the AdminCP and go into Usergroup Manager and give the groups the ability to use the garage but it's still giving my users the no permission error.
Also in the AdminCP, under vBulletin Options I dont have a vBGarage option in the dropdown?

Any ideas?

I believe that vB upgrades just completely re-create that table and that's why we lose our settings. That's a guess, but it's consistant that we lose those settings during upgrades. I'm aware of it and live with it. I have not looked into any fix for it.

[javo]

Thanks noppid the queries got me fixed..
Not sure how I missed that.. Thanks.

ive upgraded to 3.0.3 but the vbgarage isnt working for my members, i have edited the init.php to

'canvbgarage' => 16777216

also i have sent the 5 querys to the database and also turned on vbgarage in the usergroups but still not working, also the vbgarage option is missing from vboptions in admincp.

Sounds like you missed a file edit. Recheck your list of files to edit and the number of edits for each to be sure ya got um all.

[seraphex]

Has anyone experienced any trouble with the images not displaying in 'list' and 'view' actions on the vbgarage page?

I've looked through about 20 pages of this thread and havent had any luck.

I have GD Version bundled (2.0.28 compatible) installed and working, but only Red Xs where an image is supposed to appear. If i click on the Red X, the correct image oopens ina new window.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I had a similar imagecreatestring() error. If you right click on the broken images and copy the url listed into your browser you'll see the errors. I fixed mine by re-compiling PHP - with GD. I think an upgrade to php was made that wiped GD out in my case. Here's how to re-compile PHP - with GD if you have root and easyapache (WHM/CPanel): http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?p=762735#post762735 . If you don't have root you might have to contact your host.

if possible can you give me a full break down of what to do to make it work with 3.0.3

also how do i get the vbgarage option back in the admincp in the left panel

[noppid]

All the information you need to solve those isssues has been laid out in the past few replies. Make a list and check it twice.

[vwturbo]

I'm a bit confused here. I was running vB 3.0.3 with vbGarage and then upgraded to 3.0.4 which broke vbGarage. People can not see the garage but I can, I also lost the admincp for it like everyone else. Noppid what exactly do your queies do? Is this a fix for my problem? Or do I have to completely reinstall vbGarage?

[noppid]

Running the queries and re-doing the file edits after the vB upgrade are what keep it working for us.

I can't be certain what is your exact problem, but as you see, those steps seem to get everyone else going after a vB upgrade.

[ChrisBaktis]

Im obviously missing something. How does a member use this? How would I go about adding a car (or other item) to my vBgarage?

i must be doing something wrong,eres what i do

In ADMINCP/USERGROUP.PHP i add the following

then in INCLUDES/INIT.PHP i add the following

'canvbgarage' => 16777216

then run the 5 queries and after that it still doesnt work, i can see as im a admin but none of the members can asit says they dont have permission, but i have enabled permisssion for them in the usergroup settings. please help, what step shud bring back the vbgarage options in the left panel of admincp?

Assuming you had vBgarage working already before your vB3.0.4 upgrade, you need to do all the file edits listed in the original install files. Then you need to modify the 'canvbgarage' bitmask as you listed above and then run the 5 queries.

That's really all I got for ya. I'm trying man, but that's all I got.

As for a scratch install, I haven't done one since I can't remember. I'd assume you do a full install as per the original instructions, but during the file edits part you make sure you make the change to the 'canvbgarge' bitmask.

[bL@De]

I have just upgraded my board (>3.0.4 from 3.0.3) and executed the SQL queries (thanks noppid) and changed 'canvbgarage' => 16777216 but users who have not setup their garage previously can't create them as there is no link in their own UserCP on the otherside existing users aren't a problem.

Any ideas what may be causing this?

Cheers

Magnus should put links in the main thread to all the fixes for these bugs.

You need to read back the last 20 or so posts. There is a link to a post with queries you have to run to restore those options.

Sounds like you forgot to upload your old includes/config.php after the upgrade.

[JEdward]

I just installed vBulletin yesterday. Our site is a car club and I wanted to put vbGarage on before I opened the forums. The board was working fine until I ran the install progam and edited ADMINCP/USERGROUP.PHP & INCLUDES/INIT.PHP
I could not find USERCP_SHELL OR NAVBAR so I did a site search to find the code.

What do I need to do to fix this problem

[bL@De]

I just upgraded to 3.0.5 this morning, re-edited all the files and ran the SQL as stated previously and everything appears to be happy.

JEdward, USERCP_SHELL OR NAVBAR are templates, do a search for them in your AdminCP

Under 'Styles & Templates' hit 'Search in Templates', type in USERCP_SHELL and hit find, click edit and change the code as per the instructions. Repeat the same process with navbar.

Hopefully this helps.

[StuKeR]

hi,

If you want to put it on the lastest uploads at the CMPS home page???

sorry :(

[therczone]

Is there any word on the new version? And, will the images be in the form of vbgarage.php?do=getimage&id=47 or /images/mycar16.jpg ?

[aussiev8]

any idea when images are out of the database and when the security holes will be patched?

[noppid]

The mention of securtiy holes got my attention. I'm no expert, but I can follow the leader pretty well. Most/some of the security patches lately seem to dealing with cleaning user inputed text fields. So on that note I looked and saw the only thing this hack does is add slashes to inputed test. I added some agressive clean up of all the user text input fields on my copy of this hack. It would probably be a good idea if you do too.

If anyone else is aware of parts of this code that need strength, please make a suggestion so we can all benefit.

Thanks

[jdebler]

I could not make it work after the upgrade no matter what. The query's would just not run only got database errors. Our garage was pretty new and only had a few users so I used the "Action-N" uninstaller (link in "modifications/add-ons"), ran the uninstall and went right back and ran the install. The files edits and tables changes were left alone. It works perfect now but we lost all the data in the garage so we will have to start over. worked for us

I ran into those database errors too, I had to append the SQL queries with my database prefix to get it to work

I hade to make
INSERT INTO settinggroup (grouptitle, displayorder, volatile) VALUES ('vbgarage', '650', 1);

into
INSERT INTO [your db prefix]_settinggroup (grouptitle, displayorder, volatile) VALUES ('vbgarage', '650', 1);

Do that to each line of the query, and it will work fine.

Does the proper use of globalize clear the possible above mentioned security 'holes' ?

[noppid]

To me it appears that since the vars are being passed, in our case, to globalize without the type also being passed that nothing is being done to them.

[joeychgo]

I might also suggest - as much as I want an update - that you hold off for the major vB upgrade thats coming -

[noppid]

I might also suggest - as much as I want an update - that you hold off for the major vB upgrade thats coming -

I did my own branch of this code from the installer to the script. You may want to secure your's too.

I don't expect updates and the author does not respond to post suggested updates.

It seems it's everyman for himslef if you run this currently.

[zemic]

Hiya....

This is a great script. Good job doing it. One thing, would it be possible to use ImageMagik instead of GD ? Its a bit of a problem (as im finding) gettings hosts to update GD 1.6 to Gd 2.0. ImageMagik can be installed fairly easily on your virtual host via telnet and FTP if its not already on the server.

Sorry if this has come up before.... tried to read as many pages as possible! But there are 100+ now ! :)

Simple question regarding templates.

I've had this hack installed for awhile but just noticed something odd in User CP. Along the left-hand side, Edit MyGarage (my name for it) appears over Edit Options. However, when I click on Edit Options, both Edit MyGarage and Edit Options are highlighted. When I click on any other item on the left-hand side, such as Edit Profile, etc., only that one is highlighted.

How can I fix this?

You have almost certainly made a typo in your edit of this step...

The stock template mod does not have that anomoly.

[noppid]

With The consent of Magnus, here's an update for vBulletin 3.0.5

This update encompasses 3 things.


Install instructions: update of the /includes/init.php edit and a note about new update option in installer
The installer: New update option for fixing the ACP options after vB updates
Operating script: Agressive and redundant striping of HTML/PHP codes in text input fields
Unimplemented and not supported: GZ compression of images (installer and script)


The install instructions reflect a change we have found necessary in init.php since the original version was written. There is now an additional note on one new option to the installer that is for repairing vBgarage after vBulletin updates.

The operating script is updated. The mods attempt to stop injection attacks on the text input fields. Two methods thought to be useful in this attempt were used. One was from php.net and the other directly from vB code. They seem to do the job.

However, nothing is guaranteed! These updates are tested and in use on two boards though. Click either of the links in my signature to see a live demo.

If you attempt to use this code you should do a full backup of your database. Do not assume it will work perfectly, things can go wrong. Backup your database! Back it up twice. Download a copy.

Having said that, here's the files...

I have reverted that template to original, then redid the edit, and unfortunately am still encountering this problem.

[noppid]

Only thing I can think of is that the phrases may be missing? Did you do the step where you pick any phrase in the phrase manager to edit and then click save?

[drumsy]

Yes, I did, and I've done it again. It didn't work.

[noppid]

Yes, I did, and I've done it again. It didn't work.

If I register at your board will I be able to see the user CP page with the link or are you using a test board?

[noppid]

Well I did try your board. I can not duplicate Clicking on the vbGarage link and another link be highlighted at the same time.

I can however click on a link and while holding the link get it to stay highlighted when I move the mouse away from the area and let go of the click. Then while it's lit I can point at another link and light it.

I used both IE and FF.

I can do this on other vB installs as well, I don't see a problem to be honest.

[V8Owner]

this is a great hack, thanks.

Is there a way to constrain viewing such that only a certain usergroup can view the garage?

I dont want just anyone viewing the garage, only certain members.

Is that possible?

Yes, there is a "can view vBGarage" Yes/No option in Every Group.

[V8Owner]

Yes, there is a "can view vBGarage" Yes/No option in Every Group.

thanks, but isnt that "can use vBGarage"?

Say I have user groups A,B & C

I want user group C to be able to view and use vBGarage, but user groups A and B should not be able to use (create/edit etc) nor view anyone elses vBGarage. I hope this makes sense.

[noppid]

I see what ya want. Currently a group is either in or out and guests are supposed to be out, but they aint. I'm not really sure what's going on.

There is no granular groups by group way to display the garage currently that I can tell.

Anyone getting close to releasing an updated version with multiple cars for registered members? I'm willing to beta test one.

There is an update for 3.0.5 posted a few posts back that was released with Magnus' consent.

I don't know what you mean by users having multiple cars. You can adjust how many cars each member has currently in the ACP. We have ours set to 6 per user of up to 64K each.

[javageek]

Are you sure your not thinking of the "Images per Garage"? I don't see where you can edit the amount of cars.

That's exactly what I mean, images per garage.

Maybe I misunderstood the question?

What exactly do you want to limit?

[oly51]

That's exactly what I mean, images per garage.

Maybe I misunderstood the question?

What exactly do you want to limit?Many of the members in my classic car site own more than one car. Several have 4 or 5. What I am looking for is multiple garages for members where they can post a photo and description of each of their cars.

The next vBGarage update was supposed to include multiple cars. A couple of people have already hacked this feature into their vBGarage, but they have not released them.

In the ultimate hack for me, there would also be the capability for the garages to tie into a car "Registry" database where the members cars and text info from non-members cars would be sorted by the Vehicle ID Number. Non-members would be able to enter their VIN through a form. A text only "Registry" would show on a separate page. Anyone aware of a hack like this?

[noppid]

I myself like the simplicity of it as is. You do have some good ideas and maybe someone will share the multi-car hack one day. Maybe Magnus will even.

I'm no photo gallery expert, but I'd be curious how well this hack would perform on a high traffic site with a load of images. I'm curious if perhaps at that level a professional qualtiy gallery may be in order. I dunno, I'd need to research it and look for a test bed, not an easy task I'm sure. Maybe this can handel the job, is anyone using it for loads of images?.

[cinq]

On my boards, being stored in BLOBS in the db, with each entry having 4-5images (I got the multi-entry thing going), and about 110 entries in total so far, meaning close to 400-500 images, still goes fine I guess.
:)

I am trying to get them out of the db.

[noppid]

Thanks cing, that's encouraging to hear.

[cinq]

But backing up my DB takes really long due to the size those images add on.
I think saving in a file system would be much better.

Btw, it's cinq ( 5 in french ) ;)

My eyes aint what they used to be, sorry about that.

I'm running six photos per garage and a 64K byte limit in size. I'm also using gzcompression on the photos before storing them. It's woking but I have no benchmarks on performance and don't know if it benefits the DB size yet. Being on my own sever I have some flexibility, we'll see what happens.

I've looked at the code a time or two in regard to putting the images in the file system. In a folder above the web root would be nice I think. Don't know if I'll tackle it anytime soon though as I have an iron in the fire that I hope keeps me too busy to play.

Thanks cinq

[speedracer68]

I have uninstalled and re-installed vbgarage. It does work but if you had a car listed before I moved the server it won't let you add one now. It's like it thinks you have a car allready posted? For example, a guy who never posted a car before is able to create his own page but, I can not. I assume it's because I had one before and it still thinks I do?

Pleae help!

I have uninstalled this and even wiped the datbase out the best I can tell. Each time I install it I am unable to add my car or any car that was posted before I switched servers.

I'm stuck!

Any ideas? I'm new to this so I am lost and trying to learn.

Images in the File system

I worked on putting the images in the file system tonight. I got so far as to be able to store and retrive them. I have to work on the delete tomorrow. So far this does not add any data queries, just one call to mysql_insert_id(). However no queries have been eliminated.

I will do a convert DB images to the file system as well.

Cheers

[joeychgo]

thanks noppid

[noppid]

Images is the file system is ready. I have to do the refining of the code now.

I need to decide a few things.

The main script will run in DB mode or FileSystem mode. How we will choose which is the question. Right now I'm thinking an edit to the main script. A vbgconfig.php is an easy option too.

There will need to be a path to the files and a file prefix set. This is so each of us can have a unique path to our files and sorta hide um. I'm currrently storing the images in a folder set 777 above the web root folder. This too can be a hard edit of the main script or in a new vbgconfig.php file.

Do we want to gz compress the files? This could add over head. The files will need to be ungzcompressed on a retrive and then most likey just gz'd again if we have gz compression on for the site enabled which most of us do.

Moving existing files from the DB to the FS is no problem as far as I can tell, however if anyone has a comment on this it would be welcome.

Please give us feedback on this so we can have the best of the features we need.

[cinq]

Fantastic noppid ! :D

As for the choice, can it be made a vbulletin setting ? ( 'Store images in DB or in File System' for e.g )
But this would probably mean quite a bit of duplicated code in the script, one for DB, the other for file system ?

I am not too concerned about where the images are placed ( as in, if members are able to access them directly ), after all, it is to showcase their images.

I am not familiar with GZcompress, so I do not know what overheads may be present. But as long as it possibly speeds things up, I'm all for it :D

Keep up the good work mate ! :D

[drumsy]

If I register at your board will I be able to see the user CP page with the link or are you using a test board?

It's live. :)

[drumsy]

I am also curious as to when we might see some display adjustments. The current layout is very barebones.

I'm also hoping someone would release a "multiple car" option. Yes, there are some out there, but no code for public consumption.

###################### FOR GARAGE ICON #######################


SAVE AND UPLOAD THE FILE

In showthread.php in the root directory of your forums.
FIND:

$post['attachments'] = &$postattach["$post[postid]"];


ADD BELOW:

###################### FOR GARAGE ICON #######################
$post['garage'] = fetch_garageicon($post[userid]);
###################### FOR GARAGE ICON #######################


SAVE AND UPLOAD THE FILE


Now in your postbit template ( or postbit_legacy, whichever you are using )
Just add this whereever you want the icon image to show:

<if condition="$post[garage]">
<br><div><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/vbgarage.php?do=list&userid=$post[userid]" target="_blank">$post[garage]</a>
<br /></div></if>


Lastly, upload your image into your forum images directory, in the MISC folder.

NOT TESTED but it should work. Do feedback for any errors and I will amend the errors accordingly. Would be good if this post can be linked in the hack post under the modifications/addons bit.

Hope this helps :)

cinq,

what modifications can I make to your edits that would allow me to use text, rather than an image? Perhaps in the dropdown box when a username is clicked that will say "View User's Garage," but only if that user has a garage.

Thanks a lot for this Magnus. I made some changes, but works great! I hope my users will love it too.

Did you use the 3.0.5 update?

Noppid, I instaled vBGarage v3.1.1

[V8Owner]

I see what ya want. Currently a group is either in or out and guests are supposed to be out, but they aint. I'm not really sure what's going on.

There is no granular groups by group way to display the garage currently that I can tell.

could anyone suggest a way to set up security such that only nominated groups have access to view as well?

[noppid]

Noppid, I instaled vBGarage v3.1.1

Well the vBgarage update still says 3.1.1, however there is a link in the main post by magnus to the updates that were done as a result of vb3.0.5.

I have the whole thing re-written and relabeled as 3.1.2 so that confusion will go away. This includes images in the file system and a conversion tool to move images from the DB to the file system. The conversion is a two step process, you move the images to the FS and test, if things work well, you can then in step two remove the images from the DB.

The upgrade for users that want to stay with images in the DB will be very easy, just upload the new vbgarage.php and the new vbgconfig.php with the default settings and you're done.

New installs can choose which mode to operate the script in from the beginning, FS or DB mode.

The proposed 3.1.2 is running on my M/C site in filesystem mode (after a conversion from DB mode ) and my computer rigs site is in DB mode it you want a preview.

[Inzagi]

Hi, I installed noppid 3.05 version on my board.
But the thumbnails do not work at all (red crosses).
And what is even worse is that no matter wheater you click on a picture or a username on vbgarage.php page it alwayws redirects me to the index.php site without doing anythink else.

GD 2.0 is istalled on my server.

http://213.221.106.91/bond007/vbgarage.php?do=list

Does anybody has an idea what I can do to make it run properly ?

[noppid]

A quick look reveals this as the link produced...

I'm looking at it, but I'm not sure what's causing it ATM. The other forum links seem ok.

My first impresssion was to say it's the forums path in the ACP, but I'm not sure.

Those links are generated in the Templates by this variable, $vboptions[bburl], nothing in the update would have affected that as there were no template updates and the script does not modify that variable.

Hi noppid,
you were 100% , it was the forums path in the ACP, I added a index.php there which was not neccessary. I thought it was right because the whole forum worked with it perfectly.
Now that I removed the index.php in the forum path the hack works like it should.
Thanks for the quick help.

Gald to hear that worked out!

[MrNase]

Just a quick question: Does this use the WYSIWYG-Editor?

[noppid]

Just a quick question: Does this use the WYSIWYG-Editor?

No, just an input box.

And a note:
HTML is off by default and even if you do turn it on, the new update strips any HTML before submission from the text input fields.

[noppid]

I'd like to thank Inzagi for his help with the next upgrade. Upon testing the stock code we found his server going to it's knees displaying the top 5 latest uploads on forumhome.

After a day of editing code and pretty much changing the entire way images are handled with GD, we got the usage load to at least a 70% or more improvement. I know that sounds nuts, but I think he can attest to this since he brought it to my attention.

I'm running the code and he is too. Although I have permission from magnus to work on this, I will contact him before I release anything.

Thanks

[noppid]

Due to 3.0.6(7?) there will be no new release till we can review the new code in vB for conflicts. We've only patched our forums so far so we have not had a chance to check things.

[Inzagi]

I can already tell that the new version of vbGarage is a great derivative from the former version to the dramatic reduces server load and the possibilty of having a file system. Furthermore some small nice additions and bugixes are implemented, so @black04gt I would really wait until the new version will be released because this could already solve many issues.
The vb version doesn't seem to matter much though.

just want to make sure my thinking is correct, I am still running vB 3.0.3 (with security patches) , if I update as normal to 3.0.5/6 and then run vBulletin 3.0.5 Compatible Installer/Update by noppid it should bring everything up to date ?

That should be the case, yes. Then reset group permissions and the Vbgarage settings. (I have to find a way to improve that)

[noppid]

Big thanks to Magnus for providing a great hack!


The updated vBgarage is a pretty serious rewite of the php code. The only mod
to the templates was to change an occurance of width="175" to width="100".

Change List

added length limit to text fields
added striping of html and php code from user text input fields
(strip tags code from php.net and vBulletin)
file upload type, size, and validity checks by php
static thumbnail images as resized compressed jpegs (width=100 and height=proportionate)
Optional Images and thumbnails in filesystem or DB
images stored in encoded file names to prevent attemts to write illegal or special characters to FS
GD optimization
memory optimization
performance improvement displaying thumbnails
security additions
added vbgconfig file (set FS or DB mode and images path if using FS mode)
new ACP setting to stop full image display to guests
new phrases for new setting
installer includes all new additions to DB if starting from scratch
includes updater in installer script for after vB upgrades
(found the reason this has been necessary and corrected it in the installer and updater)
includes upgrade from older versions script
includes converter script to move images from DB to FS and remove images from DB after conversion to FS mode


Files Included

vbgarage.php
vbgconfig.php
install_vbgarage.php
convert_vbgarage.php
vbg_test.txt
vbgarage_upgrade.php
vbgarage_readme.txt


Two of us are using this version and have tried real hard to stomp any bugs. The installer update, upgrade, and convert utility scripts can be run safely multiple times. The Install option for a fresh install can only be run once.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

That's pretty much why the new version is not posted.

And link it back here just for references/credit.

Okay now.. someone tell me now what am I supposed to do..

the install seems to have gone fine, no errors,

options there in acp vb options -> vbgarage..

I can access it @ vbgarage.php

but where do I upload from..
I mean like, where does anyone upload from.. ? I'm not seeing any interfaces anywhere :S

[noppid]

User CP->Settings and Options->Edit vBGarage.

It's in the column on the left in the User CP.

[Deviant++]

Nope, its not..

and neither can I edit anything on my profile :|

Deviant, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

WTF...

[Deviant++]

wait, I just noticed something,

in init.php

it's

'canvbgarage' => 262144,
'canseehiddencustomfields' => 262145,

I made it

'canseehiddencustomfields' => 262144,

now I can edit my sig n stuff but that option is still not there..

[noppid]

I can't tell if it's an edit problem or how you set permissions. But I have to ask, did you install from the file in this post?

To fix that, you should check your edit of init.php against the edit in the 3.0.5 update linked in the post above.

should I just add the new ones in that file ?

Undo the edit you did and edit init.php per the new 3.0.5 update instructions.

That should get you going.

[Deviant++]

so do I need to rerun the install file ?

[noppid]

so do I need to rerun the install file ?

No, the installer is not re-runable.

The problem is in the init.php edit I'm almost certain. Start from scratch with a fresh copy of init.php and do the edit listed in the 3.0.5 update instructions file.

[noppid]

but do I still need to run your installer cause it says there's lots of fixes in it ?

The second part of the installer is for running after vB upgrades, there should be no need to run any part of the installer now. You should be able to upload and use the new vbgarage.php file in the 3.0.5 update package now though which has a few improvements in it.

A new version is ready for release as well. It should be posted in a few days or so. We'll see.

[Deviant++]

oh, I hope it'll be easy to upgrade...

[noppid]

oh, I hope it'll be easy to upgrade...

In fact it will be very very easy IMO.

Here's the upgrade instructions for existing garages....


[ INSTALL: UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS FOR UPGRADING AN EXISTING vBGarage INSTALLAION DB MODE] (Leave images in database)
(Backup your database and close your forums!)

1. UPLOAD the provided vbgconfig.php file to your forums ROOT folder
Set $vbg_use_fs = 0; to use the script in database mode
This is the default so there's nothing to do. :)

2. UPLOAD "upgrade_vbgarage.php" to your forums/admincp folder.

3. Execute (ex. http://www.yourforums.com/forums/admincp/upgrade_vbgarage.php)

4. Run the first option "vBGarage Upgrade - New Settings and Phrases"

5. Run the second option "vBGarage Utilities - Prepare DB for Thumbnails".

6. Run the third option "vBGarage Utilities - Create Thumbnails for DB".
(If you have alot of images in the DB this may be pretty intense on the server.)

6. Delete "upgrade_vbgarage.php".

7. UPLOAD "vbgarage.php" to your forum ROOT directory

Done!

[Deviant++]

hm, I hope we dont run into db probs, I hate those..

[noppid]

hm, I hope we dont run into db probs, I hate those..

Well the upgrade script has been tested on 3 sites and can run multiple times safely. You can run it for fun if you want, it knows what to do. ;)

There is never 100% certainty. That's why it says to backup your DB alot of times in the install instructions.

[RCSwap]

Magnus - I'm currently using this and I like it. I was wondering if its possible to make this same thing, but have it on its own, so you don't need vb to run it.

Magnus - I'm currently using this and I like it. I was wondering if its possible to make this same thing, but have it on its own, so you don't need vb to run it.

Magnus may not be posting. However I can tell you this uses the vB backend 100%.

It's programming, of course a stand alone could be made. In fact they exist and are called galleries. There are other hacks here that you can reference for stand alone galleries, stand alone galleries that can be intergrated to vB, and other Galleries made for vB.

[RCSwap]

Ok thanks.

[magnus]

I'm working on trying to obtain "Premium" status for this hack with Erwin. If approved, all fixes/releases/upgrades/etc.. will be contained in their own respective forums, and noppid and myself will be able to better manage/track any problems/questions that may arise. Plus, this will make it easier for you, the users, to find answers to already asked questions, fixes, etc..

[noppid]

That's great news. Gald ya stopped in. I just got proved wrong in my last post. :p

[noppid]

Well looks like the next version will be set at 4.0.0. There is no timetable for the release at this time though. I'm looking at adding multiple cars/garages before the release. Thanks to magnus for that!

In the mean time we have optional watermarking of full size images coming in 4.0.0.

Here's two attachments of how they will appear if enabled and configured correctly.

By configured correctly we mean, the watermark image is a valid .png and the watermark option is enabled in vbgconfig.php and the path to the file is set correctly in vbgconfig.php and nothing went wrong in the file system. If any of the above does occur, then the image will not be watermarked. Rather then throwing errors when something went wrong we thought it best to just skip the step if a sanity check failed.

The same logic was applied to all the File system access to images if you run 4.0.0 in file system mode. If anything goes wrong, the image is just skipped on the file system side and only database information stored or retrived. This results in no errors being thrown and the only negetive effect being images don't appear. If this occurs, users can report the problem, you can fix it, and they can delete blank images and upload new ones.

Have a look.

I am also curious as to when we might see some display adjustments. The current layout is very barebones.

I'm also hoping someone would release a "multiple car" option. Yes, there are some out there, but no code for public consumption.

You may get your wish in the near future. We are developing "multi car" now. You can see it at My Computer Rigs Forums (http://www.cpurigs.com/forums/vbgarage.php?do=list).

We have not made alot of changes, but we are open to suggestions.

One thing I'm planing is a randomly selected pic in each garage viewed full size to make that page more appealing.

Let us know what you think.

mysql error: Unknown column 'canvbgarage' in 'field list'
----------------
I can modify usergroups sucessfully but each time I get this. I don't believe it's the init.php file as I've checked it several times and with/out the trailing comma.

[noppid]

Look for the vbulletin 3.0.5 updates for the proper init.php edits. This is not supported anymore however, any problems you can't solve will most likely require you to upgrade to 4.0.4.

[danhaga]

Requires
GD 2.0+ Library
----------------------------

What is this? why does it need it and how can I get/install it?

Thanks

[Marco van Herwaarden]

You can check if GD is installed on your php, by looking at the PHP information in your AdminCP.

[Turbo_WRX]

question, is there a way to limit each usergroups amount of pictures they are allowed to upload?

[lionslair]

Great mod well done. Just what I needed.

[Hyrel]

I was getting an error when I first install everything from this file. Nothing would work. So I took the modification to it out and got everything else set up. Problem was I couldn't change the usergroup permissions to be able to use it. This seems to be the problem, just wanted to post incase any other newbs like me have the same thing.

The file says

3b. In INCLUDES/INIT.PHP:

Find:
#######################
'caneditownusernotes' => 131072
#######################

REPLACE with:
#######################
'caneditownusernotes' => 131072,
// START VBGARAGE HACK
'canvbgarage' => 262144
// END VBGARAGE HACK
#######################

to make it work you have to add the , after 262144
so like this

3b. In INCLUDES/INIT.PHP:

Find:
#######################
'caneditownusernotes' => 131072
#######################

REPLACE with:
#######################
'caneditownusernotes' => 131072,
// START VBGARAGE HACK
'canvbgarage' => 262144,
// END VBGARAGE HACK
#######################

Everything has be perfect since then.

Hey. I have a small issue. I beleive I accidently deleted the link in the USERCP to edit your garage. Where do I add the code back into and what's the code I'm missing?

[RGSMDNR]

is there a way to hot link a users garage under their name in a post? so i dont have to click at the top and scroll through all the users garages?

[Sia Bani]

So I updated VB, and only my admins can access vb garage. Reg users say does not have permission.

Oh, I get a database error when I try to reinstall again. I already have the database mods, so I don't know what to do from here. I've already edited the php files. Nothing more than that though.

HELP! Thanks in advance

[ryans]

I Cannot delete or edit users or post. I noticed in vbgarage.php on line 195

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'delgarage')
{
globalize($_REQUEST, array('id' => INT));

if (!$bbuserinfo['userid'] OR $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']!=6)

My admin number is not 6. should I change it to my admin group #?

[ryans]

Sure, edit your postbit template, OR postbit_legacy template depending on which version your using. (if you add it and it's not showing up try the other template)

Add this line anywhere you want it to show up.
<a href=vbgarage.php?do=view&amp;id=$post[userid]>View Garage</a>

Or, if you'd like to put it in the drop down menu when you click the username find this line:

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addlist&amp;userlist=buddy&amp;u=$post[userid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[add_x_to_buddy_list]</phrase></a></td></tr>

and add right under it:

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href=vbgarage.php?do=view&amp;id=$post[userid]>View $post[username]'s Garage</a></td></tr>

Any help would be great.. Thanks

I am having problems with the vbgarage permissions changing everytime I go into the permissions for registered users. Is anyone else having this problem? Its like the permissions keep changing themselves for vbgarage.

Thanks,

[Turbo_WRX]

Attention!!!! If someone has extensive knowledge using this garage feature and can code me a page...all i need is someone to add some text in a field for me and get it to show up for users and what not...I made a pic through photoshop of what i want it to be like...if you can code what i drew up..trust me i know someone can..i will PAY you for you time and troubles...please email me jdmartin010101@hotmail.com and have VBGARAGE in the title..I will pay when you're done...100%...I'm prefectly legit, check my ebay if you want, user icp_double_j...I just need some help and i know money talks...so yeah...

[kderentz]

I installed this and everything went fine, however when I go the control panel and try and upload an image to the garage its submits the form with no errors but the image dose not come up. I am running GD2+ so that shouldnt be an issue. Anyone have any ideas?

[lem]

This is my second post regarding this issue. Others have posted the same but nobody ever answers. Here is the problem:

I have installed this hack on about 7-8 forums now, and all have the same problem. Whenever I go into the usergroup settings to adjust a setting for a specific usergroup, it turns off the permissions for the vbgarage automatically.

I always have to go back in that usergroup's settings and turn on vbgarage again. It is very annoying. Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks,

Lem

[Action-N]

This is my second post regarding this issue. Others have posted the same but nobody ever answers.


Probably over half of the questions in this thread are about the same problem you are asking about, with its answer following most of them. Try doing a search in this thread for "permissions" or something.


Here I found one of my old posts that should explain what you need to edit. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=583426&postcount=1455

[lem]

Alrighty folks, found the problem for those of you running 3.0.7 or 3.0.8 like I am on a lot of my forums. I was having serious problems with my vbgarage permissions changing constantly for my various usergroups. Hope this helps...

The instructions tell you edit INIT.PHP like this:
#######################
'caneditownusernotes' => 131072,
// START VBGARAGE HACK
'canvbgarage' => 262144
// END VBGARAGE HACK
#######################

BUT They must have added the reputation system somewhere between 3.0.0 and 3.0.7 because 'canvbgarage' is not the last line before the );

So, what worked for me is this:

'canseehiddencustomfields' => 262144,
// Originally you had to place 'canvbgarage' before the above line.
//Drop down about 10 lines and add it to the end of the reputation lines like this.


// Reputation

'canseeownrep' => 256,
'canuserep' => 524288,
'canhiderep' => 1048576,
'cannegativerep' => 2097152,
'canseeothersrep' => 4194304,
'canhaverepleft' => 8388608,
// START VBGARAGE HACK
'canvbgarage' => 16777216
// END VBGARAGE HACK
);

Notice that the number is double the previous reputation number(I dont know what the purpose of this is, but thats the pattern)

Hope this helps. I looked forever in these threads and I could not find anything clear. Just little bits and pieces. I hope this is a little easier to understand.

Thanks for this great hack,

Lem

[mr. visual]

absolutely fantastic, installed.

Thanks!

[hotwheels]

i am not sure what i did wrong, but if you look at my vbgarage: http://www.insanemustangs.com/forums/vbgarage.php?do=list It show's that the garage is there, but you cannot do anything with it at all. I set everything up the way the instruction's stated, and every step was followed. Does anybody have any idea, why it can't be used? In my usergroup settings, they are all marked to yes.

[hotwheels]

never mind, i got it fixed.............my error

[csidlernet]

[BlueBulletRL]

I am having trouble trying to pull the car information to use in the postbits. I put the SQL query in just as you said and posted the if statement and even if the user has a vbgarage it doesn't pull the information. is there something I missed? Please HELP ME I NEED THIS FEATURE However I want it to display under the user name like this

Year:
Make:

Also the query you gave is that to be added or to replace the current query there? PLEASE HELP

[ryans]

As stated before, this is all being added. It's not that it's been "forgotten", it's just being slated for a later release. Expect it very soon.
1 year and 6 months later :). I don't see a delete image options. Is that something This doesn't have or did I install it wrong?

[black04gt]

I have had vbgarage installed on my forums for about 6 months now had voer 200 mustangs in the garage with info and pics and I woke up this morning andy they are gone???? wtf??? i check the database files in myadmin for php and the 3 database and the tables are empty??? anyone ever heard of this i back up my site about once a month is there a way i can exctract just those files from the back up??

thanks for any help in advance

Dave

[AndyA]

Is this safe to install on 3.0.8 then ? Does the installer take care of any database alterations ?

[brendonm]

hmmm... tempted but scared. Will keep watching to see what happened to all the Mustangs.

[dodgechargerfan]

I am getting a page not found error on "/forums/vbgarage.php" after clicking submit in the Edit vbGarage form in the User CP.
Yet, the file is there and everything else works so far.
(actually a few things don't but they should once my domain name gets redirected.)

I just checked: if I add a "?" to the url, it comes up.
Any way to fix that or even make the "?" come up automatically.

Forgive me if this is a noob question. I started working with stuff exactly 1 week ago - before then I knew nothing about SQL, phpbb (I migrated a board from it), php, vBulletin, etc...

[tdbk]

Great Hack!

Can someone help me? I'm trying to add the latest uploads to the forum home, but for the life of me, I can't find the stuff you need to modify in the index.php. Even a search in the text edit won't find it. :o

Specifically the // ### Welcome Message### portion.

Nevermind, I figured it out. :squareeyed:

http://www.fordgtforum.com
Should be about a dozen owners from the first month ready to upload some pics soon.

[tdbk]

p.s I've got another question, when you wrap IMG tags around an image address on my site, it only comes up as an URL. Yet, when I wrapped the same URL in IMG tags at another site I frequent, the pic was viewable.

Can someone help me with the setting I need to change? :nervous:

*edit* duh, I found it. Still, the images aren't showing :ermm:

Anyone got a suggestion? Thanks.

[tdbk]

Anyone? :nervous:

[arraxx]

thanks. It´s great hack

[DrewzR/T]

Awesome!!

[Club3G]

Love this mod - quick question. Is there a way to get it to store the pictures as file attachments, rather than in the Database itself? My DB is massive, and I've pulled regular attachments out into the filesystem to conserve space - would love to do it with this as well.

Thanks!

[PuntoPower]

does vbgarage work with vb3.5.0???

[Club3G]

Does anyone know of a way to prevent guests from accessing the page / viewing images? I have a conditional for the navbar link itself that doesn't show it to guests, but search engine spiders still manage to get there, and at any given time there's about a dozen roaming through there.

[noppid]

You guys need to upgrade from 3.11 to 4.0.4 and then 4.1.0 of vBGarage. These are for vB 3.0.x, not 3.5.

[Club3G]

I'm running 3.0.3 still - too many installed hacks and I fear the upgrade breakage. :(

I'm sure your motorcycle forum is nice and all, but downtime for debugging for me is just a little different than it is for you.

[Club3G]

Anyhow, I'd still like to see these attachments stored in the filesystem rather than in the database.

I just did a forum that gets 6.6 million hits a month and got not one complaint upgrading from vB3.0.6 to vB 3.5 and vBGarage 3.11 to vBPicGallery and 16 hacks had to be converted. Less then one hour downtime.

I guess ya have to know what you are doing to manage large forums. Good luck.

alright guys i am stuck

from what i know my server/host gave me instructions on how to enable gd2.0 (which is the reason i thought i was getting red X's for the thumbnails, maybe it still is) i did what they said. now i am stuck, cause i still have red X's and i read through like 50 some pages of this thread

my site is www.sanantonioracing.net

i only have the vbgarage set up on two skins (first person shooter and xtreem)

the first person shooter skin you have to be in a subforum to see vbgarage link in navbar

the site is a work in progress and would really like to get this feature working properly before i start anything else

someone please point me in right direction!

thanks in advanced!

[noppid]

Best advice I can give is to say if you use vB 3.0.x upgrade to vBGarage 4.1.0.

[BackSideSA]

upgrade install for db or fs?

[noppid]

upgrade install for db or fs?

Yes, you can use file system or DB and have multiple galleries for each user.

[BackSideSA]

alrigth, after i did the upgrade when my users try to "submit" there garage they get a blank screen

[noppid]

alrigth, after i did the upgrade when my users try to "submit" there garage they get a blank screen

Sounds like the templates are not in all styles or not installed at all. Check all your styles for vbgarage templates. If they aint there, copy them.

[BackSideSA]

it only happens when they try to upload an image, that is when it goes blank

the templates are there for all my skins

If you are running 3.0.x and want to run vbgarage and are starting from scratch, use vBGarage 4.1.0.

i am running vb 3.5.0 and never upgraded vbGarage to 4.1.0 before i made the switch, is my only option a fresh install now? if so do i have to unistall the old vbgarge or will a fresh install overwrite anything that it needs to? i have already purchased vbpicg, just need to know which way to go with it

The only thing I can think of is to make your tables look like vBG 4.1.0 tables by hand and then run the upgrader.

This is something we should discuss over at my place and not be breaking rules.

I've seen this VBgarage on a Greek Auto Club,

It's on 3.5.1 and it's working...
Which version is it and where can I download it?

[@ngel]

Anybody...???

[cbr929rrerion]

if you figure out how I wannna do it...

[dead7]

well, if you hack out the globalize function from a 3.0.7 functions.php and just paste it in the 3.5.* functions.php, you can then edit vbgarage.php and change $DB_site and replace that with $vbulletin->db->

lol, i hacked around and that will start displaying the garages anyway haha... useless i know but hey its something eh ;)

[erroneus]

count me in on a $donation too. Let's try to get them to port it over to 3.5!

The author should setup a paypal donation page and ask for whatever amount he wants. Then we could each pitch in til that amount is reached. Time is money and I'm sure it'll take a lot of his time, so I'm sure whatever amount he asks for will be reasonable. Just my thought on it..

[Freezerator]

good plan, count me in.

Hey guys,

So far, i'm liking the way vbgarage is working. However, I have a couple questions and suggestions for improvements.

1) Create a verification for deleting a garage!!! Logged in as an admin, and viewing a garage, there's the delete/edit links at the top. I accidentally clicked delete, and it was gone. There really needs to be an 'are you sure' step in there somewhere to prevent that.

2) The table for viewing needs to be set to the top of the cell. Right now they're set at middle, which places the text way down the middle of the page if there's a lot of pics in the garage. I'm sure that's just a simple mod in the template, so if anyone has done it, let me know how you did it.

Thanks for a great mod!

[klyde]
