Multiple Cars/Garages for vBGarage

I wrote some code today. I'm using some code snippets and the basic logic that magnus sent me. I believe the author was Action-N and magnus. Thanks again to both of them for sharing. We needed some logic, code, and templates to do this addition and again they cheerfully provided them.

vBGarage public release will be an adaptation using the above logic, some edited code, and some edited templates. If you have seen those branchs of the code, you may see some similarities and some differences in the adaptation.

You can see what I have so far at my Computer Rigs Forum. I have two garages set up to view. I really need a few testers to register and login to test using the garage to provide feedback on addition work.

There are database changes, template changes, template additions, and an updated vbgarage.php so far. URL's are also affected by including/passing addition variables.

Comments are needed in this thread, please give us your two sense and we'll see where the chips fall.

Here's the list of changes so far...

Joeychgo and I worked on that till 4:30am. The idea of the title and headers was his and is for SEO optimization.

We also nixed the DHTML popup as it is inconsistant in drawing itself and while it looks cool, without a full frame, it just didn't look right to us.

Joe gave me a long list of to do's that I'm going to address to enhance things before we even consider a release. That time is not going to be too soon.

But let me remind you, the next version will require 4.0.0 to be installed to upgrade to multi garage.

The list of changes has been updated. The first post in this thread is basically what will need to be done to upgrade to multi garage/car mode.

Take a look at that we have so far... http://www.cpurigs.com/forums/vbgarage.php

We need more feedback please.

feedbacks.. we NEED this, how can we feedback something we can't play with ?!

release that multi-garage hack, we will evaluate and help on coding extensions if needed... ;0)

Easier said then done. You see how this is going, 30 installs and only an upgrader and converter revision? That's how the next release is supposed to be too. I don't want to be a slave to code that folks need fixed on live sites cause we missed a bug that is hard to work out.

It would be appreciated if folks would go to the computer site in my signature and register and test the new version. We can have problems there and not really effect anyone.

I'm not hawking for membership, I never expect to see you guys again after it works, we need testers.

Thanks

i never knew you needed us to register to test... btw, i never test on others boards, i take the codes and test it on my own server, because i'm "so intense" ..

i'll wait for the release of the files to test it, so if you want me to test on my side, just shoot me the files...

Well, if no one tests it, it won't be debugged. If no one registers, no one can debug the add and edit and wysiwyg.

I would say with the help I have now, it will be another month.

Ok, done.

Problem #1

How do you edit/remove a photo from your garage once uploaded? I uploaded the wrong pic but cant get it to remove.

Problem #2

Large images break the page. Is there a way to make a certain max width?

Problem #3

How do we completely remove a garage?

Looks good so far!!

1) You need to click edit/add your computer on forumhome or from the menu in your user control panel. Then on the right of the list you will see buttons for delete and edit.

You also found a bug, when you view your garage you should see an edit and delete link, that is fixed.

2) That's gonna take some JAVA I believe. Someone said they could help with Java on popups, maybe we can set some help here too.

Or

We could add resizing of pics on upload. Only larger to Smaller by width is what I'm thinking.

3) See number one.

Thanks for your help, it is appreciated.

4) I don't like what quote and code tags do either.

Ok, just noticed something else. The comments are displaying backwards, ie. most recent first. Any way to reverse that?

Also, it works perfectly for large JPG uploads:

But gifs are a problem:

http://www.cpurigs.com/forums/vbgara...=241&garage=47

Is there a way to allow more than one image in the garage when you create it? Right now you have to go back and edit, add a pic, edit again, add another pic etc etc
