Add-On Releases - DTO Garage and Garage Plus vBadvanced Modules

Drive Thru Online ? Garage and Garage Plus vBadvanced Modules

Overview

If you are using DTO Garage or Garage Plus and also use vBadvanced for your site we've developed three modules to further integrate Garage functionality throughout your site. The modules are:

• Random Garages
  This modules allows you specify the number of garages to randomly display in either a horizontal or vertical layout. Additional display options are also provided.
  
• Featured Garages
  This module allows you to feature a garage for a day, week, or month. The selection of the garage is currently manual but an automated selection process is being considered for future releases of Garage and Garage Plus. As with the Random Garage module additional display options are provided.
  
• Garage Statistics
  This module provides a number of statistics including number of garages, number of members with at least one garage, models represented, and more.

As I mentioned in the other thread if you refer to our online help (found in your Garage menu or on our site under Support >> Documentation) and look under the Administrator >> vBadvanced CMPS Modules section it provides information on installation and configuration.

Thanks!

Can I set more than one as Featured Garage ID?

[mferguson]

No. It only supports one featured garage at a time. Also, in the 1.2.0 version of Garage Plus the system now auto-selects the garage of the day, week, month and, if you don't like the one it picks, there is an interface provided so you can select another.

Found some little validating issues in the dto_garage_featured template

[mferguson]

Garage Plus 1.2 already includes a new XHTML compliant template for the featured garage as well as automatic, system based means of selecting the featured garage to display using the template. In the next few weeks I'll release the free version of Garage which will be fully phrased and XHTML compliant.

Thanks!

Download doesn't work something wrong with the *.zip file.

[mferguson]

We've not had any other reports of problems downloading the file. If you want you can go to our site and download it there. To do so just go to www.drivethruonline.com and click on the pricing page. Scroll down to near the bottom of the page and you should see a download option for the vBa modules. If you are using this with the free version of Garage be sure to download that 1.0 version rather than the newer 1.2 version that works with our latest release of Garage Plus.

Thanks!

Table 'ahbdd_xxxxx.DTO_garage_vehicle' doesn't exist

[mferguson]

Did you install the DTO Garage product first?

If it is installed please let me know as we addressed table prefixing issues many releases ago.

Thanks!
