Yes, any updates on this will be nice! i may use it also for my next car forum soon.

I looked into fixing up this add-on an the code seems to to old to clean up, then how to release an update for someone else's stuff. I made a decent attempt an starting something new then burnt out struggling with css styling. One of the other things I struggled with was not having a default template for creating an add-on to know how to set one up. Would be nice to just start editing a blank mod than reinventing the wheel. Anyway I'll take some screenshots to share where I was headed with my design.

Link to my view garage design concept. Where I struggled to build the css to look like this. Didn't want to give in the HTML tables cause I hardly see that in anything new. I had to link the image it was to big for an attachment.

What you had looked pretty good.

I would just love to get an more updated garage system for VB, I'm surprised there hasn't been more attempts toward it.

What I would love it to allow users to do more than just upload pictures. I think it would be cool to almost allow them to start a history of the car, and add entries as they accomplish more things with their car, accompanied with images/text/date.

Hey cdoyle, yeah I know, I hope there is enough demand for it still. I'm sure many people gave up, but between the two garage systems an those using photopost hope to finally give them what they want.

I started with christeris classified script rebuilding it, he already had plenty of features that work for a garage. Just some concerned now as he give his mods to another developer how that'll work out when I ask to introduce my product off his code.

That is my plan to support photos, video, audio files. As for history I'm gonna link to a blog category for "Build Progress" an use that for history/updates. Also gonna put in a maintenance log for work done.

Probably gonna post a thread for development to take this discussion out of this mods thread. Gonna want feedback and ideas on what it should have.

FYI made major progress since last post, had the weekend an now two day vacation to work on it.

Wow that sounds great.
If you start another thread, please post a link here. I would like to follow it and contribute in any way I can.

I also want to know where this is going , very soon within 1-2 weeks i will need to have one of this on my forum,and wanted to know where @Action-N , in what stage is it and when will be ready.

Thanks.

heh guys

anyone know how to remove the total vehicle count from the main top block and replace it with an image in between the slideshow and random vehicle images

Hey Mark, I'm sure mine is been modified so I can only give you what to try. First the template comments turned on view your page source via the web browser an search for (total vehicle) text. Look to see what template it is in between the nearest BEGIN END template comment tags. Most likely it is "garage_welcomebox". See if that has anything in there like total count, an that is where to remove that text. Leave "raw welcomemsg" at least. Then go to vb options look for "Garage General Settings" then near the top you'll see garage welcome message field. According to version 3.0.2 he added bbcode support "Added bbcode capabilities to welcome box on garage front page" so just post your center image like it was a forum post an it should work.

On another topic, notice your a porsche only website so you probably don't need a top category of porsche. Might help that front page look fuller if it started with the model categories.

Thanks for the advice and info Action-N sounds a bit beyond my skill level but I will tread carefully and check it out, appreciate the advice
