I just installed vBulletin yesterday. Our site is a car club and I wanted to put vbGarage on before I opened the forums. The board was working fine until I ran the install progam and edited

ADMINCP/USERGROUP.PHP

&

INCLUDES/INIT.PHP

I could not find

USERCP_SHELL OR NAVBAR

so I did a site search to find the code.

What do I need to do to fix this problem

[bL@De]

I just upgraded to 3.0.5 this morning, re-edited all the files and ran the SQL as stated previously and everything appears to be happy.

JEdward, USERCP_SHELL OR NAVBAR are templates, do a search for them in your AdminCP

Under 'Styles & Templates' hit 'Search in Templates', type in USERCP_SHELL and hit find, click edit and change the code as per the instructions. Repeat the same process with navbar.

Hopefully this helps.

The original instructions may not be updated. An important edit/change in init.php needs to be done. Look in this post for instructions. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=998

hi,

If you want to put it on the lastest uploads at the CMPS home page???

sorry

[therczone]

Is there any word on the new version? And, will the images be in the form of vbgarage.php?do=getimage&id=47 or /images/mycar16.jpg ?

[aussiev8]

any idea when images are out of the database and when the security holes will be patched?

[noppid]

The mention of securtiy holes got my attention. I'm no expert, but I can follow the leader pretty well. Most/some of the security patches lately seem to dealing with cleaning user inputed text fields. So on that note I looked and saw the only thing this hack does is add slashes to inputed test. I added some agressive clean up of all the user text input fields on my copy of this hack. It would probably be a good idea if you do too.

If anyone else is aware of parts of this code that need strength, please make a suggestion so we can all benefit.

Thanks

I could not make it work after the upgrade no matter what. The query's would just not run only got database errors. Our garage was pretty new and only had a few users so I used the "Action-N" uninstaller (link in "modifications/add-ons"), ran the uninstall and went right back and ran the install. The files edits and tables changes were left alone. It works perfect now but we lost all the data in the garage so we will have to start over. worked for us

noppid can u post the code in here? just for all the newbies who can't code, since the authors haven't done anything about this, and they've known about it for about 2-3weeks...

I ran into those database errors too, I had to append the SQL queries with my database prefix to get it to work

I hade to make

INSERT INTO settinggroup (grouptitle, displayorder, volatile) VALUES ('vbgarage', '650', 1);

into

INSERT INTO [your db prefix]_settinggroup (grouptitle, displayorder, volatile) VALUES ('vbgarage', '650', 1);

Do that to each line of the query, and it will work fine.
