VB Pro Garage Timeslips
 

Description
VB Pro Garage Timeslips (formerly CND Garage/Timeslips) is a free vehicle and timeslips add on for vBulletin 4. This is a great way to allow members to show off their rides, whether they are cars, motorcycles, atv's, etc. Site administrators have dozens of options to tailor the way the garage is displayed and the number of vehicles, images and timeslips the user can enter. User vehicle creation is done through a simple screen with dropdowns and simple text fields. Users can enter either miles or km and system will automatically calculate differences for front page statistics.

** New Features **
* SEO Friendly URLs (htaccess only)
* Page Caching - physical html files which make a HUGE reduction in sql queries
* Front Categories - a category system as an alternate front page to the block layout. I believe it will increase the garage ranking in search engines greatly when used with SEO URL's and the included dynamic meta tags.
* Thread Creation - Automatically create new threads in the forum of your choosing with the text of your choosing when a new vehicle is created in the garage.

Main Features

* No vb template modification needed
* Ajax driven menu's to keep load time down if you have a very large lists of makes/models
* Usergroup level permissions to set the amount of vehicles, images, timeslips allowed
* 99.9% of the text is phrased so that it can be translated for multinational sites
* On the fly image/text watermarking ability to make sure images are tied to your site
* Lytebox image presentation

Installation
Instructions, tips and more are now in the included chm file. If you have problems with the chm I have the document published at:
http://www.vbprogarage.com/forums/docs/html_vb4_ts_300/

The quick and dirty install:
1) Upload all files in the upload folder
2) Import vb_pro_garage.xml into Product Manager
3) Import vb_pro_garage_language_english.xml into Languages & Phrases
4) If you want all makes and models I've collected, import vb_pro_garage_vehicles^^new_install_only.xml into Product Manager

Post Installation
So you don't have to find it in the instructions. After install, there is a button up top in the navbar. This button by default is admin only. This is so you can configure and test without having to close the garage. When you are ready to deploy to the community:
ACP->Settings->Options->Garage General Settings - Set Garage Menu Button to Enabled.

The garage is developed on vb 4.0.7 and tested back to 4.0.0. The garage will run on PHP 5.x+ compiled with GD/GD2 and MySQL 5.x+

Additional options for the garage like adding featured businesses that support your site, fuel tracking, dyno charts, modifications and lots more are included in the commercial version.

Many thanks to Coroner for his stylebridge which led me on a path that saved me hours and hours of template editing :)

You need to import the vb_pro_garage.xml file first. That one will create the tables. The one you tried to run will add new vehicles make/model/trim options to the exisiting tables.

Hi

then i get this error

i have no idea, sorry

What vb version are you on?
I'll install it and try the import, so much changed between 4.0.0 and 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 it could just be the version you're on.

i have vb 4.0.2

Hmm, ok that's not it because that's the version I dev on.

If you want to try
Uninstall the garage
Open up vb_pro_garage.xml in a text editor and delete line 291, it's not needed for new installs.
Line 291 is

Then try and import the edited xml file, see if you get that same error.

nup,
by the install this error

I just went through and installed on a test 4.0.2 server and got the same errors. It worked fine for me when I first installed on 4.0.0

I almost have the product xml fixed. I'll post a new package when it's done.

Thought I'd toss my errors up too.

I just uploaded a new package. Try uninstalling the garage and install from the new xml files. None of the php files have changed so you don't have to reupload any of them.

tried and got this:

man, I wonder if it's because I tested on windows and you're installing on linux. It might not like the \ instead of a /, I'll have to work that out for future upgrades.

If you can edit vb_pro_garage.xml and delete line 291 which is

Uninstall and reinstall, see if that works.

the same error, i cant install

ok, now i can install,
but the tab is clera and when i klick i get this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function most_modified_block() in /www/htdocs/w00b7234/das-grosse-tierforum/html/garage.php on line 575

Not sure how you would get the error if the line is removed that's causing the error?
Is it still giving you the error that the file can't be found? It shouldn't be calling the file anymore.

Perfect timing ;)

Just bought the commercial version, thank you so much and I look forward to customizing it!

ok, I'll fix that in the package. For you though, can you run

ACP->Maintenance->Execute SQL Query

Uninstalled the old version (didn't work, lots of database errors, it seems to have not installed all the tables in the database for some reason).

Reinstalling the new version makes all the tables in my database, but hangs at the import screen. Deleted the tables and tried two more times... no dice.

Did you delete line 291 in the product xml? Seems that it's not liking an included php.



Sorry about all these install problems guys.

Ah, I saw that suggestion above just didn't know it would apply to everyone. Removing that line allowed me to install, and I haven't seen an error yet going through the settings and AdminCP menus.

Only problem is that loading the garage.php page shows nothing... blank page. No errors, just blank.



And no problem, VB4 is a challenge for all. I'm just glad this is finally becoming available! :D

Can you see if the templates were created?

ACP->Styles & Templates -> Template Manager
Select Edit Templates on the dropdown and see if there are VB Pro Garage Templates
There should be about 58 templates under that heading.

Yes, I see lots of templates under that heading, didn't count but it seems like 50+


On an unrelated note, when I try to add permissions for another usergroup, I get this:
And I notice when editing any of the permissions, the text for the option below the "Can Submit new Trims" is missing.


Also, when I try "restructure sort tables" under management I get this:
Looking in my database this table is indeed missing.

okay, I need to fix those two things.

The main page not showing isn't related to that though, must be some kind of template issue. If I try to look at other pages I can see them.

http://www.nwamotorsports.net/garage.php?do=browse

It's just the main page.

If I had to guess, which I do lol, I'd say it's a missing template that's used only on the front page. Can you send me a screenshot of your templates?

I do this and now i can see, but i dont know is it right

http://www.das-grosse-tierforum.de/garage.php

and look the admincp right?

i install this addon my first time, and i dont found the settings

delete

How does this differ from the pay version? How much is that one and is it working as is?

please tell me where can i change the word vehicle?

Deleting a {1} in the Garage

I'll wait till some of the kinks are worked out of this one. I tried to install and got an error.

I'll keep an eye for an update though.

hi,

how i can change this things:

i need by the trim only a text fild, how i get this?

how i can delete mileage, i dont need it?

and the last thing

how i get by the year [REQUIRED] - a calendar?

thanks for your help

If you want to try
Uninstall the garage
Open up vb_pro_garage.xml in a text editor and delete line 291, it's not needed for new installs.
Line 291 is

require_once(DIR . '/admincp/garage_update_2.0.0.php');
Then try and import the edited xml file, see if you get that same error.

Pay one has a lot more on it. Dyno runs, modifications, events, clubs, fuel tracking. You can check it out at my site.

There are a few people running it on production with no problems, we got most of the style and templating kinks worked out.

www.vbprogarage.com

You can't make the trim a text field, I would need to redo the code for that.

If you want to remove mileage you can remove it from the garage_vehicle_view and garage_vehicle_edit templates. It's not required so you wouldn't need to change any code.

You can add the text to the garage_vehicle_edit template if you want the required text there but you would have to change the code to actually make the script check it. Wouldn't be too hard though, I can give you instructions on what to modify if you want. Let me know.
