Car-Gallery
 

Hi there,

I am Hacking a car Gallery for our Site www.calibra.de where you can build your car with many details and pictures.

In a few days I will start the Gallery official at our site.
If someone is interested in an english Version (some Guys on vb-germany.com are interested too, so i will release it) I try to translate the Hack into english. (The Admin-CP is in English).

Maybe some User have a vBulletin for Boards with Car-Discussion and may find ist useful.

It is completely Template-Driven and I inserted many settings into the Admin-CP.
A few features:

• Data like Model, Engine, Color, etc.
• Tunings at different Parts
• Picture Upload on your Webspace with Thumbnailing.
• a Public Gallery
• Complet Administration in Admin-CP

Planned features:

• Comments to the cars
• Picture Categoryes for your car like: Accident or something else
• vBPortal-Box with random Pic

Maybe it can be used fpr Motorbikes or boates.

Comments Welcome.

You should not post up a hack in the database unless you have actually released it.

However this does sound quite impressive. Translation into english sounds good :)!

Uhm.

BETA HACKS
If you haven't finished a hack, but want someone to test it for you, post it here!

Hope that makes sense :)

I'd be interested in using it for VB 2.3.0 on a drummer's message board!

He hasn't even released it Sebastien. For now it should be in Genearl Hacking Discussion

Sorry...
I will release it soon as a beta Hack. I promise...
Next time I choose the right forum.

Please do Im excited

Please release this soon.

I run several Car websites, I specialize in creating websites for Car Clubs, and this is something I have been looking for.

My websites would benfit from this and I know my users would love it. Looks awesome!

Keep us updated!

There is already a hack, called vGallery that pretty much does the same thing already.

Get it here on vbulletin.org

If you want to see a fully customized version in action (on a car site), check out http://www.speedstreet.org/gallery

I Just took a look at that site, but my Gallery does much more like the vGallery.
You can Specify in several fields the details of your car. Like Engine, HP and many more. All is Editable in the Admin-CP.
I wanted to give the Users the possibility to present their car as detailed as they want. And all that in a good optical way. Even more than pictures.

Take a first look here. Its our German Site.
The Thumbnails in the Preview are choosen randomly.

Hoffi, I'll say it again, I like what you are doing.

I have wanted to have a spot were members could upload a picture of their rides, and give info on make and model and engine.

I know my members have been bugging me for awhile. But finding someone to intergrate with vbulletin is to much hassle for me.

Looks good from what I see so far.

If you need a beta tester let me know, althought I failed German twice just to warn ya.

So my only question is, users can upload their own ride to this index then rigth ?

Yes, but the difference between vGallery and yours is that vGallery has actually been released :)

I use PhotoPost - it works great!

Is there a way to install a gallery without Image Magic?
I never had any luck with that. I use GD with mod_php4.
The server is FreeBSD 4.7 UNIX and Apache 1.3.27 mod_ssl
and MySQl 3.25.52.

Thanks in advance.

I'll move this to General Hacking Discussion first... feel free to post in Beta Hacks when the hack is released. :)

@Erwin: OK, sorry.

@ajk: My Gallery works with GDLib Version 1 or 2. Even if the GIF-Support is not installed i have found a solution. (A dummy Thumb ;) )

If I am not mistaken, futureal posted in the Beta Hacks forum before he released vbProArcade. As long as it will be released in a matter of days, it shouldn't matter that much.

Yeah, I don't want to have to use imagemajik or whatever, that involves getting it and convincing my hosts to install it, which won't happen any time soon.

Please Release an English Version!!!!
Please Release an English Version!!!!
Please Release an English Version!!!!
Please Release an English Version!!!!

You are my savior!

This would be a neat addition to my forums :)

i love that idea, this is what ive done to sort of organize my member profiles.

http://65.18.154.146/corollatuner/fo....php?forumid=3

Any updates?

sweet idea i have a car forum and this wood b the best ! nice one

Call me a pessimist, but I have a feeling this is one of those posts where someone wants us all to see how cool their project is....and for us to all grovel over it....and never release it :)

SpeedStreet: OK, wait and wonder.
I am just writing the Installation-Script, but nevertheless i can't work 8 hours a day at this.
On our Site you can see it in German.

Very nice and very intrested.
Is a user gallery also linked to his profile?

Keep me informed :)

I too am very interested in seeing an English version!

n e news on this wonderfull hakk so far mate ! id be glad to beta test 4 u

OK, the Install is ready. Give me a few days to build Standard Templates. In the moment the templates are not useful on a standard Forum.

Did anyone can help me with a translation from German?

I could help if you need it. I think...

Sure. My English is not the best, and some of the special words for all the tunings etc. are missing. ;)
Should i send you some templates to translate?

I CAN HELP TRANSLATE MATE i got an A in gernman GCSE LOL

I failed german, ich bin haben forgotten :(

lol ich bin sehr laut lol und langweilch ermmm i can remember more stuff but not now lol !! back to the car gallery ! it will definatly be my fav hack ! and im sure it will b a great intergration for all car forums ! nice one HOFFI !

@corsacrazy: OK, so should I send you the templates? Then PM me your eMail.

pm sent im glad 2 help

Any word on this yet? ;)

I am just working on Templates that fit into every Site, and then I can release the German Version. corsacrazy will translate it into English, then I can release it in English.

It is be a Beta-Hack because all Admin-Functionality is not imcluded. But the important ones are. ;)

The faster you can release it, the faster I can decide whether or not I will choose to work on this hack.

I've been using Bergman's Car-Gallery hack, but it's level of integration within vBulletin has alot to be desired. I've already written about 15 hacks for it, and I was planning on releasing those to the public. However, once I get a chance to look at your hack, I'll be able to decide if this one is more worthwhile.

If you need help in the translation department, I can use babelfish as well as the next guy :)

hi Hoffi :)

ich warte schon viel zu lange :lick: :D ;)

wie w?rs eigentlich mit ner Bewertungsfunktion, und dazu ne Top Ten Statistik ?!:smoke:

war nur mal so ein Einfall, aber egal, jetzt warten wir lieber (leider) auf deine Auto Gallerie :cool:

Gruss
Alex
