Add-On Releases - CND Garage - Timeslips

Description
CND Garage Timeslips is a garage/timeslip add on for vbulletin. Although it looks like phpbbgarage this is NOT a port, it is 100% my own code. I just modeled the layout to look like it.
Users can add as many vehicles, timeslips and images that the admin allows. The admin can define the amounts per site or per usergroup. Images are stored in the filesystem and thumbnails are automatically created as the image is uploaded.

Main Features

• No vb template modification needed (except to add link to navigation/community)
• Ajax driven menu's to keep load time down for very large lists of makes/models
• Button images are attached to style so that each style can have their own images
• 99.9% of the text is phrased so that it can be translated for multinational sites
• User's vehicles shown in their profile (vb 3.7+)
• vboption used for type of garage, to help aid in change it from a car to a motorcycle, atv, etc garage system
• Easily import data from vbgarage

NEW FEATURES IN 2.0!!!!

• New navbar menu, dropdown vehicle options and dropdown administrator options to clean up the layout
• On the fly watermarking, text and image
• Run garage outside of the forum directory
• Image resizing, 3 sizes of images, link on lytebox to open large image
• Trim field, vehicle class and purchase date added to the vehicle data
• Vehicle of the day automatic cron added
• Vehicle of the month setting with customizable image

Installation
Instructions, tips and more are now in the online documentation as well as an included chm file.
Both are linked in the read me file.

The garage is developed on vb 3.8.3 and tested back to 3.7.0. The garage will run on PHP 4.4.7+ compiled with GD/GD2 and MySQL 4.1.x+

I am currently working on an importer for the old timeslips database.

Additional options for the garage like dyno charts, modifications and lots more are included in the commercial version at CND Systems

Added
The vba_vehicle_display.xml is a vbadvanced module to add a verticle column with vehicles, can be either latest vehicles, random vehicles or the featured vehicle. Once imported you can modify the module to change the number of vehicles displayed. This only works with the 2.x series.
The forum_home_2_0_2.xml file is a vb product which will display garage images on your forum home page. It has options for the location and number of images which is set through the ACP vboptions section. This only works with the 2.x series.
The postbit_user_garage-1_4_1.xml is a vb product which will add a link to the user garage in the postbit. Configure this on the Garage General Settings vboptions tab.

I am having access issue ..

I can't seem to add anything to the garage, I get this ERROR

Admin, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

and I am Admin with access setup for everyone all groups .. and everyone still gets the same error .. when press on "Add Vehicle" ..

what gives .. I am running 3.8.5

It's probably something to do with the permissions. Are you using the basic permissions or the advanced permissions? Make sure you have the right selection on the Garage General Settings tab. If you want to pm me temp admin access I can check it out for you.

Thanks again for your great work!! we'll be going to vB 4.x soon .. will there be much issues when upgrading to 4.x with this version of garage install ?

Thanks again you rock!!

[Dylanblitz]

I don't think there are any issues with upgrading from the 3.8.x version to the 4.0.x version. There will be some configuration changes to make because there are new enhancements in the 4.0.x version that I'm not doing in the 3.8.x one.

Hi,

I just downloaded and installed version 2.0.6

Everything seems to be working great.... with the exception of one thing.

I don't have the "Categories" menu in my Admin Control Panel.

Am I missing something?

I run a car website with highly modified vehicles so this feature would be awesome.

I am also running VBulletin 3.8.5 if that makes any difference.

I bought vb4.0 but won't be installing that for quite some time as my PHP and SQL versions are a little outdated and my hosting company hasn't upgraded those yet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

D.

Sent you a pm, you should have a new garage menu on the left pane of your ACP that has the Categories. Let me know if you have any problems with it.

I just installed this on my forums, and so far I'm impressed. I had the old Timeslips Database hack installed from vB 3.5 which still (partially) works, but I've been looking for a replacement for that. It seems this hack fits the bill, but I have one question...

Can the timeslip information be placed in the postbit template? I had that working with the old hack and my members liked that functionality. Thanks!

I just added the file postbit_user_garage-1_4_1.xml which is a postbit link to the users vehicle.

That's an excellent compromise. Thanks!

One more thing... I'm noticing some strange inconsistencies with the timeslips... On my timeslip creation & edit pages, it lists 1/8 and 1/4 mile speeds as 'KPH'. Viewing the timeslip itself, it's listed as MPH. However on the 'Top Timeslips', it also lists speed as KPH. As far as I can tell the speed should only be listed in MPH.

Thanks again!

PS As a side note, the proper abbreviation for Kilometers per Hour is KM/H.
