If you're not seeing anything, and you've done step 5, then you haven't inserted all the phrases. Make sure you've run all of these:

[SQL]
INSERT INTO phrase (languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES (0, 'vbgarage', 'vBGarage', 1);
INSERT INTO phrase (languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES (0, 'vbgarage_allowed_total', 'You are allowed a preset number of images. Once that limit is reached, you will no longer be able to upload. Delete existing pictures to regain upload ability.', 1);
INSERT INTO phrase (languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES (0, 'vbgarage_file', 'File', 1);
INSERT INTO phrase (languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES(0, 'vbgarage_footer', 'Powered by: <b>vBGarage</b> by magnus', 1)
INSERT INTO phrase (languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES(0, 'vbgarage_year', 'Year', 1);
INSERT INTO phrase (languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES(0, 'vbgarage_make', 'Make', 1);
INSERT INTO phrase (languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES(0, 'vbgarage_model', 'Model', 1);
INSERT INTO phrase (languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES(0, 'vbgarage_text', 'Text', 1);
INSERT INTO phrase (languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES(0, 'vbgarage_text_desc', '<a href=\"$vboptions[bburl]/misc.php?do=bbcode\">vB code</a> is <b>On</b><br /> <a href=\"$vboptions[bburl]/misc.php?do=showsmilies\">Smilies</a> are <b>On</b><br /> <a href=\"$vboptions[bburl]/misc.php?do=bbcode#imgcode\">[IMG]</a> code is <b>Off</b><br /> HTML code is <b>Off</b><br />', 1);
INSERT INTO phrase (languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES (0, 'vbgarage_uploaded_images', 'Uploaded Image(s)', 1);
INSERT INTO phrase (languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES(0, 'vbgarage_car', 'Car', 1);
INSERT INTO phrase (languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES(0, 'vbgarage_listtitle', 'Member vBGarage(s)', 1);
INSERT INTO phrase (languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES(0, 'vbgarage_edit', 'Edit vBGarage', 1);
INSERT INTO phrase (languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES (0, 'can_vbgarage', 'Can use vBGarage?', 3);

Sorry. I guess it wasn't really a request; just wondering if anyone had given it any thought as a possible "a 3rd Party Add-On"

Great job on this, BTW. It's definately on my list after I upgrade to vb3.

I will prolly tackle it when I get my vb3 going. waiting for vbportal to be ready. :ermm:

Also, is this all searchable from members search? Like, say I want to find someone with a kaminari body kit, i can search for kaminari?

I may, however, do a Coppermine add-on. If I do, I'm sure it could be easily modified to accomodate PhotoPost.

At the moment? No. I'll look into search capabilities.

hey magnus,

Just curious why you didn't go the route of using the profile options and just displaying them on a new page? This way they can be made searchable, they can have any type of form element, make them required or not etc.
Just curious.

Because, then I'm limited by those same options. This way, I'm free to do just about anything with no limitations.

I had the same SQL errors on install.

What I had to do was open the install file and insert the SQL commands for creating the tables manually WITHOUT the . TABLE PREFIX . part....Thats whats screwing it up.

If you want, you could probably delete the table prefix stuff (assuming that your vb install does not require prefixes) and resave the file, then run it again.....Should work fine then.....

Hope it helps........It's a cool board add on, can't wait for further updates....

Magnus I think you did a great job with this, take a bow! I am making some customizations to my copy, I have photopost like another member mentioned in this thread, I have a code for the postbit template that generates a link to the indivudual member's gallery, I think I can import that into the "view_vbgarage" template. I also think it should be pretty easy to make this support multiple vehciles. I already have mine so I can list two.

Nice work man!

I'm liking this hack more and more, make sure you claim the money I sent you.
