I definately would like to work on it. Already had it modifed pretty good for my own. Just wanted to wait till I got ahold of the newer version before I modifed it an shared it. Unfortunately I dumped my website this weekend (accidently) so I'm rebuilding it now. So actually this would be a good time for me to modify that new version. Not sure if I can get something to show off, working on installing the Journal hack right now. Maybe someone remembers what I had done from earlier. Let me know if I can get a copy of that to customize it for car websites.

Edit: Looks like I had enough to bring it back, vB Garage

Colin, Could you give us a rough estimate or time table for the 3.2 release? I've been holding off installing this as I need the multiple car feature.

I am in the same boat...need the multiple car feature as well!

Hi again,

Honestly I have no clue. I actually installed 3.2 on my board this morning, and have been working at making the templates for it. The database and part of the phrase system is complete. I would like to add some timeslip functionality to it much like EvilLS1's hack, but doing it for my own board and releasing it on here are two different beasts as on here, there are "copyrights nazis" running around looking through my code like a hawk. I'll see what I can come up with.

I'm not giving any timeframe atm, however, I do welcome any help with the templates and phrase system as I'm swamped for the next few weeks with work/school/personal.

[dieselpowered]

I would be happy to help, however, I do not have the required skills to do any coding. Sorry.

Mike

Nex, Magnus has expressed to me that as long as he retains the original credit for this hack, he does not mind what we do with it I would be interested in you helping with the new templates and phrases as I'm completly swamped right now with work and school. I wish to retain control of this project, but I will certainly give you credit for helping with it. If you would like to, I can provide you with the new PHP file for 3.2, and you can start on it.

Would he be willing to release the current version that he is running on his board? Like others, the need for multi-car support is the only additional feature that I'm waiting for.

Here's a little addon that I made for my site.. Some of you might find it useful:

Add-on: Who viewed my garage?

This will add a "show last 50 viewers" link at the bottom of your garage page. When clicked a small window will popup listing the last 50 viewers (duh).

By default users can only see who viewed their own garage.. You could easily change it a bit so that the admin can see who viewed everyone's garage if thats what you want.

Viewing your own garage will not add your name to the "who viewed" list. It has to be someone other than yourself.

I won't be checking this huge thread so this add-on is released 'as is' with no support.

Well, if Colin is taking over for Magnus then dosen't sound like we'll ever get that release. So I waited long enough an decided to start working on my own port of this mod, renamed as v3 Garage. So once I have it finished I'll have to get permission from Magnus. I included 3 screens to show what I have after day 3.

I started with the latest released vesion an have built it to be completly universal. All fields are set with changing phrases, so it doesn't matter what type of garage you want. All phrases, templates are loaded and it's just a matter of designing the layout. Plus I wanted to setup images to be stored as file on server.

Hey EvilLS1, that's pretty cool. I have an idea on how to include field from the timeslips. Also want to work in something for Journals since I want the users to use it for writeing "updates" to thier car.

Oh, as for multiple garages, well I almost had it work. Decided since most people don't have more than one I didn't want to have a second list for everone to have to view. Maye I can set it to show the second list for members that do have more than one car. We'll see.

Ok later, just giving you guys hope.

YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!11

Do you have a schedule date for release and do you have this working live so we could view it and give you suggestions for the final product?? If you need another test baord, I'd be happy to give you a hand!

[Rick Sample]

Ok, I just saw your site, and it is better than the orriginal VBgarage. One suggestion though. Could you make it so a small screenshot of the users cars will show beside their number? That people can look at the ride before actually viewing it.

One last feature that I think would bennifit us all instead of having an description box, Have multiple boxes that say stuff like: Appearance Mods, Perfomance mods, Interior mods, etc Then have a box below for MISC!

Keep us updated, I would love to install this!!
