Everyone seems to like the setup on my site.

Are there any know issues upgrading to the commercial version?

Glad they like it :)

No issues that I can think of. The vehicle and timeslip tables, phrases and plugins are the exact same as the commercial. I just need to finish the upgrade script and test it out. If you are thinking about doing it let me know and I'll put more effort into the script. Right now all my free time is going into enhancements since no one has asked about upgrading :)

No rush. I want to see how things progress with my members.

Here is a suggestion

1. Have a way to force all model types to disapproved with one click. I found all the data to be too much. I manually had to deselect all the makes and models that do not apply to my site.

If basic is selected do I need to set anything in the usergroup permissions? I was just curious what basic defaults to?

Cheers fella,

Updated the file. Just wondering - the 1/8 mile setting, it's not something we really need to list - can that be removed easily? Ironically, theres options to remove 1/4 mile but not 1/8.

Since your site just deals with mustangs I would of just created the one make of ford and the models under it instead of importing the whole vehicle list. Bit of an after thought, but if you ever need to rebuild it's something to think about :)

If you are just using the basic permissions then you can leave the advanced groups alone. It will skip those settings when it's figuring out who has permissions to do what.

There were some sites that run only 1/8 tracks so they asked me to give them the option to get rid of the 1/4 mile stuff. You sure you don't keep track of the 1/8 time? Most timeslips have that time and if you run a 1/8 mile track you won't have a 1/4 mile time to enter.

It can be removed with some file edits. If you want to do it let me know and I'll figure out what needs to be modified.

I think its just been a standard thing, though you may be right. If thats the case then the 1/8 listing on the listings page maybe isnt an issue, I just wonder if the front page blocks could have just 1/4 times on them? Certainly where I am we refer to 1/4 mile times!

What does the basic mode default to?

The basic mode uses the settings on the vboptions Garage General Settings tab. From
Write access usergroups down. If you use Advanced then it's the same thing, but more narrowly defined.

Cheers fella,

I'll have a proper shot at the changes tomorrow - just tried just now, and possibly due to the way I've arranged the layout of the garage main page all the info was a bit out of sorts. That or I put the info in incorrectly (which I can't rule out!)

I'll try again tomorrow with a fresh brain. Cheers for the help, much appreciated :up:

I am getting a red x with IE8 on cars with no images? see attached

Also when some members create a vehicle they are not assigned to an owner.

Sorry about that, thought I had it fixed.
On garage.php at Line 436 you'll see

After that add

I'm not sure about the no owner thing. I'll check and see if I can recreate it.

Tried the mod as above, and its still doing what it was last night. (See attached)

Would this be due to the way I've ordered the main garage layout?

Try using this file. Let me know if it still doesn't work.

That's spot on mate! :up:

Thanks a million for all the help! Am I right in thinking the full release does mods etc? Generally, our site doesnt generate enough income to justify spending on additional software. But that said, the garage programme is perfect for us and something I might look into in due course :) Especially with the level of support given so far!

Thanks again!

Yes it does mods, dyno runs and a lot more :)
You can check it out if you want from the link in the mod.

The biggest request I am getting is the ability of the script to auto downsize images that are larger than the set limits. Is that possible?

I've been working on it. The problem is that gd is a big fat hog heh. It's ok for making small thumbnails, but you want to make a 800x600 image and a thumbnail and it will grind the server to a halt. I'm looking into work around for it and also implementing imagemagick support, which processes images a hell of a lot better.

I run imagemagick on my server. I would galdy test that out when you get it running.

I'll let you know when I've got it coded and send you a precopy :)

Awsome garage. downloaded and upgraded to paid version
Been waiting a long time for a good garage setup

Sweet!!!!:D

Nominated for MOTM

Ok I attached an image of an error. A user was uploading his vehicle info and when he clicked to submit it he was directed back to the login page. Maybe due to a timeout because he took so long to add the info. The vehicle showed up as having no owner.

Ah thanks, that makes sense now. I didn't understand how the no owner vehicles were being created. I was just checking to make sure they had permissions and an id when they go to add the vehicle, but not after submit. Since their session timed out, they were submitted at userid 0.
I'll fix that right now and post it up :)

Cool. Thanks

It's up there now. The upgrade from 1.0.2 to 1.0.3 is a small file swap

The garage.php file in 1.0.3 is the old one that cause red x's in the images.

No, since you are at 1.0.2 then you just need to upload 2 files to your server.
garage_func_var.php
garage_vehicle.php

Thats weird, I thought I had the right file in there. I just uploaded a new one with the right garage.php file in it.

This is a great mod and glad to see it. But, I'm having a few problems installing it on 3.8.1 When I upload all the files and go to Plugins/Products, manage product > add/import product and I choose the garage xml file all seems to go well with no errors. After the install I now have *[garage_settings]* on my lefthand admin cp and inside it, there's *[garage_make]*, etc. When I click on garage_manage, I only have 2 OK buttons. Any help is greatly appreciated!

OK after I realized I didn't install the language file, all text is showing up now. Refreshed and the admincp is fixed also. :) Thanks for the great mod!

Glad you got it worked out :)
Let me know if you have any other problems.

Have anyone a German Language paket for me?

Big THX

Any progress on the auto image resize feature?

Fantastic Mod - Thankyou!

If it all runs nicely I'll be upgrading to Pro shortly.

Edit : Is it possible to restrict viewing by Usergroup?

I'm working on it as well as a bunch of other features requested. It will probably be a few weeks before the next release.

With next release it will be possible. Right now the only way to do it is manually modify code. If you feel comfortable with doing that then I have the changes needed posted on my forum. I can pull it out into a text file and send it to you. Let me know.

Thanks Dylan! A link to your forum will be fine if that's easier?

Cheers,
Dave

We are using 1.0.0 and want to upgrade, which according to instructions have to do basically a full install. My concern is, we removed all makes and models except for our specific theme, and was wondering if this upgrade will add all those makes and models back to the database?
We only left the Mustang makes and models.
Thanks

Don't run the xml that says new install only. That is the one that puts all the makes and models in there. If you dont run that then it will leave your current makes/models :)
