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.

It would really nice if someone could tell me where and how to change the RAND() value because my host is killing off the process half the time I refresh my forum index because it is using too much CPU time to process the queries to get random pictures out of 138 garages. Nobody has an idea? I like the mod, but I can't keep it on my site with this happen so frequently. I'm sure it's just a simple modification of the RAND() code to fix it. This value is not found in any of the vbgarage templates or my vbgarage.php file. Is there a way to go into phpmyadmin and correct this where it doesn't call for random pictures? Or run Execute an SQL Query in AdminCP to correct this issue? The ORDER BY RAND() is causing me a lot of problems. I need it to be changed to use less processing time. It takes 5 - 6 second to run this query and half the time my host is killing off the process.

User Control Panel > Edit vBGarage

And make sure it's enabled under vBulletin Options.

[SpeedJunkyz]

[SpeedJunkyz]
