There is one bug that I know of that has been addressed and will be in the next release. It's a case of an & in a URL where it should be &. It only affects XHTML validation of the garage list page.

So does anyone else have a bug they know of in the beta we need to address?

So are we at release here or do you guys have a hidden list of bugs?

Does anyone have template change suggestions? Changes in general?

I'm showcasing it in production. No complaints yet.

If folks want multi garage and the wysiwyg editor, they'll find it.
No rush really.

I havn't seent this listed anywhere, and not sure if it has to do with my theme, but when i turn on the wysiswyg editor it goes way off to the right...

i don't have a screenshot at the moment, but i will post one as soon as i get a chance.

This is typical of the Enhanced editor and seems to be caused by the smilie box. I see this in other hacks as well. (If we are seeing the same thing.) We have our smilie box set to display only 1 column of one smile and if they need more they can popup the smiles box/page. A big custom added smile can do this too.

One solution may be to narrow the width of the input box in your style settings to be narrow enough that the page is not afftected by a wide smile box. That helped us a bit.

what if we add another template for a basic wysiwyg editor? I might be able to design and get it for you, let me know...

If you can get another editor to work that's great, however I don't plan to delvelop this any further. There will only be bug fixes.

Bug two that I can report is that when a user's garage is empty they want to add a new car they are told to enter new car data below when it should say above. This has been corrected and will be in the next posting of code.

Just out of curiosity, but why don't you want to develop this further?

It's a balance of my workload and what I wanted it to do for me. There will be additions and changes I'd guess, I just won't commit to anything at this time.

I'm actually happy with the multiple garages update :)

I've found a small issue. I haven't really looked into it much, but it's in regards to comments. Seems that some of them are stored differently than others and I haven't pinpointed why.

In the comments table, for some entries, the vbgarageid was the userid of the garage that was being commented on (and hence in not displayed). on others, it syncs up to the actual garage ID, and is displayed properly.

Like I mentioned, I haven't looked into this much, so I don't know why or how it's doing this. Also, having only 13 entires in the comments table doesn't help much..

Also, in regards to comments, it'd be nice to have the comment'ers userid stored instead of their username in text, since it's not uncommon for usernames to be changed from time to time on my board.

Other than that, it seems to be working pretty good for me :)

did you upgrade or do a fresh install? What revision did you install with?

It was an upgrade. I went from Magnus's 3.xxx (can't remember eactly it was a while back) to the 4.03 version, then immediately to 4.1.0

after doing some more digging, the comments in question seem to all have been added before I upgraded to 4.1.0.

I've looked at your Fix_comments.php (I found it after I posted this.... guess that's what I get for posting an issue before reading ALL the threads ;) ) and it seems to cover what's going on. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2005/03/1.gif

At least with only a few recods to change, it's not gonna be hard to manually do it.

But, I'd still like to switch the username text to a userid....

Cool, glad ya found that.

For your idea the comments display would need another query then and the table field modified to do that ya want. I think.

I think you're right about the extra query, but I think it'd be worth the minimal extra processing time to be able to maintain correct usernames (if/when they ever change) as well as being able to easily add links to their userprofiles as well...

Anyways, give it some thought. I'd sure like to see it, and would be willing to help out with the additional code if need be.

One query don't scare me, there are no excessive uses of queries really.

I do hate the way we do thumbs though. I want to take that out of the main script and not call global.php when running it. One problem though is hotlinking. But I wonder if anyone wants our 100x100 thumbs? Well maybe for avatars? But they can do that now. This is the biggest issue in my book.

some bugs i found on fresh install

Only styleid 1 gets templates added.
In edit garage mode, Description is spelled Decription
The links under the above text don't work. vboption[bburl] doesn't appear to be getting parsed.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll look into it. :)

Anyone have a tip on getting the templates in all styles at once? I really don't have time to research it. thanks

I think it's doable if you insert the template into styleset id -1.
This puts it into the master style set ( or something like that heh ) :D

As always, thanks a bunch.

The mispelling of Decription is fixed in the install. It is a phrase you can fix on your current install.

The thumbnails are off of the vb backend and no longer affect who's online with latest threads on forum home. The performance should be improved too.

The template issue can be addressed with a handy hack arounds here. I may still take a closer look at it, but I don't want to get carried away with a cool tool available and using -1 since after updates the templates have to be reloaded.

I found what i consider a "serious" bug.. or it may be a nice undocumented feature....

i was trying to figure out why only one style was being updated i went and ran the installer again..... just a FYI it wipes out the entire garage db and makes it fresh.. there should be either a warning, or not let you do it...

I'm not so sure that is supposed to happen, but I don't have the file open.

However, I will address that to work in a better way for multiple styles before the next release.
