vBGarage Latest Uploads on FORUMHOME 3.5
 

Full Working Demo at my Honda Prelude Forums

Summary
Simply put this addon to the popular vBgarage gallery for 3.5 will take the the latest uploads (or a random set) in vbGarage and display them on your forum homepage.

About this hack
Finally!! I waited a month, searching every week for it and just said the heck with it and did it myself. I personally like to display RANDOM images instead of the latest because right now my gallery isn't busy enough so the images get old lol :)

Requirements
Obviously you MUST already have vBGarage for 3.5.x installed on your board for this to work as it uses a template from that hack. This is an Addon hack. All credit for the original vbGarage code goes to magnus and of course credit to Trigunflame who ported it to vbulletin 3.5

Installation
Simple...
1) Install the plugin
2) Do 1 simple template edit.

NOTE: Please download the type of display you want. I have a separate file for both LATEST uploads and RANDOM images.

Template Edit

In the FORUMHOME template

FIND:
Under that ADD:
That's it!!

Now in your AdminCP just go to Plugin System > Manage Plugins > Add/Import Product and upload the vbulletin-plugins.xml file.

Please Click Install

NOTE: I just added a text file showing how to add this to your vBadvanced Homepage. Just download that text file and follow the instructions. 1 tempalte edit and one vbadvanced file edit.

Screenshot Attached.

Please Click install as I plan to add enhancements like limit the number of photos AND switch from random to latest via the AdminCP. :bunny:

Cool I see you have it working in your forumhome :)

You should remove it from your CMS homepage as it won't work there currently. I'll release a patch for that in a day or 2.

Great plugin/mod for VBGarage! Installed! If you want to see it in action you can see it here: www.gadsm.org

How can I get this on my cmps home page? It works great on the forum home page.

Use the code/query info in this mod. Copy and paste it into this vBPicGallery on CMPS mod where necessary and you should/could get the desired result.

That gets me the heading on the cmps page, but no pics?

IIRC, yes. All these gallery pics on forumhome hacks for galleries are basically the same piece of code. The one I linked to should help you do thumbs on CMPS for this gallery with a little editing. Feel free to reuse the code and post it as a hack for this gallery to display on CMPS if the code helps you.

EDIT: ya know, I think I misunderstood your post to be honest.

All i'm getting is the header and no thumbnails.
Any suggestions???
