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.

Is there a way to store multiple cars?

The link only works when I'm in the forums and not on my main vbadvanced page. How can I fix this?

Just wondering if you have actually talked to noppid about this, because he has a similar hack out now that he is selling. Not sure if he'll give you permission to include his upgrades.

I hope he does though, the later version of vBGarage was much cooler.

Either way, thanks for your work to bring this out!

ACP ->Languages & Phrases-> Phrase Manager -> "Search in Phrases" for "vbgarage". edit the translation to Garage.

Also, when a user uploads a picture, where does the picture upload to? i hope it isn't stored in my database..or is that possible? i'm a bit of a noob.

search in phrases for "You are allowed a preset number of images" you can edit it there to say whatever you want.

i asked the question about where the pics go and i was told they are uploaded to the database

[Deska]

I hope in next release, all user uploads will go to filesystem, not database
Any chance to do it Trigunflame ?

[Derekclarke]

I apreciate this is not your code, but you have modified it.

I have a Feature Request.

Can this be Permission based, so we can only allow certain user groups to use the feature, or certain groups to view but not post etc.

Thanks
Derek

You have settings in the configuration panel for a reason, use it

Once I integrate it with the vb3 4.0 version by noppid it will among other things.

The original code by magnus which was modified by noppid and release later on vborg as 4.0.0 code is still under magnuses original GNU license.

I dont care what noppid has done with other stuff, im still going to merge it with this.
