VbGarage 3.5

VbGarage 3.5
Let Your Members Show Off Their Rides !!!

Summary:

This is a semi-direct port of the hack located at:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=63681

The author has given me permission to re-release this hack under his 3.1.1 codebase, and as such I have converted it Vbulletin 3.5 support which involved a good many changes.

Also I changed a couple templates, and some html fixes so it will look a little better than it used to, feel free to suggest any other bugs that need to be fixed.

One last thing, although I will "Try" to get around to fixing any bugs that come in, this is NOT my hack, and therefore I will not associate myself with supporting this hack; I merely have done a service for the people that requested the port.

Credit goes to the original authors: magnus, noppid, action-n

Again: THIS IS NOT MY CODE. AND IT IS NOT SUPPORTED.


Information:

1. Make sure you have a writable tmp directory.
2. This script only supports jpg, png, gif files.
3. I dont plan on re-writing this entire script to make it bug free, so please dont ask me to do so.

Upgrade From Vbulletin 3.x.x :

1. There is no upgrader; you just need 2 do a couple things.
2. More than likely you can leave your old vbg tables (havnt tested).
3. You _Do_ need to delete any previous settings/phrases/templates though.
4. Use phpmyadmin or w/e you use, and search your database for vbg with a wildcard it should locate anything that has that name in it; and delete them. Then follow the INSTALL.txt

Installation:

1. Download Zip File
2. Read INSTALL.txt
3. Click install if you like


Changes:

3/10/2006 8:43am - Fixed Comments; they now post to correct Garage.
3/9/2006 10:37pm - Image Types are determined manually.
1. Did some actiontemplate optimizations, so only the necessary templates are loaded on the pages needed.
2. Removed the text field limit for describing your ride.
3/9/2006 10:37pm - Image Types are determined manually.
3/9/2006 12:54pm - A change to image output.
3/9/2006 12:06pm - Attempt to fix image corruption.


To Upgrade:

Simply overwrite the vbgarage.php file.

This is based on like two year old code that was basically retired and rewritten. It is what it is and works for that purpose from what I hear, but it is old.

I just installed this and ran into a problem. After I upload a picture, (GIF or JPG) its the dreaded red X.

It shows up this way in the Edit Garage page, in the actual php page, and also when you click on it to enlarge it.

I started reading this thread to see if I could find the answer and got to page 10 and gave up. Any help would be appreciated before I uninstall this.

Link us to see some source code for a clue.

And I upgraded forum to 3.6.4, and lost all vbgarage cars and comments? any idea how to get back all those cars? pls help

[jangus74]

Hey there. I was just considering an upgrade to the new vb version but dont want to lose my vbgarage either. (like happened to you) I might could help you fix it.

Then I will know how to fix it on my site as well and could post instructions here on how to keep it running with new version of VB.

Are you getting an error message or is i just completely gone? Where is your site?

Deal .You have private message.

Excellent, been wanting this on a vBulletin forum for ages.

Got it installed without a hitch on a 3.6.4 forum, and have now done some basic mods to it to provide some basic sorting of the cars listed, by username, year, make and last modified.

Really surprised no one else has done that before!

Now to find out how to store the images in the filesystem, rather than the database! May have to hunt through the Attachment code for that little gem!
