Add-On Releases - CND Garage - Timeslips

Description
CND Garage Timeslips is a garage/timeslip add on for vbulletin. Although it looks like phpbbgarage this is NOT a port, it is 100% my own code. I just modeled the layout to look like it.
Users can add as many vehicles, timeslips and images that the admin allows. The admin can define the amounts per site or per usergroup. Images are stored in the filesystem and thumbnails are automatically created as the image is uploaded.

Main Features

• No vb template modification needed (except to add link to navigation/community)
• Ajax driven menu's to keep load time down for very large lists of makes/models
• Button images are attached to style so that each style can have their own images
• 99.9% of the text is phrased so that it can be translated for multinational sites
• User's vehicles shown in their profile (vb 3.7+)
• vboption used for type of garage, to help aid in change it from a car to a motorcycle, atv, etc garage system
• Easily import data from vbgarage

NEW FEATURES IN 2.0!!!!

• New navbar menu, dropdown vehicle options and dropdown administrator options to clean up the layout
• On the fly watermarking, text and image
• Run garage outside of the forum directory
• Image resizing, 3 sizes of images, link on lytebox to open large image
• Trim field, vehicle class and purchase date added to the vehicle data
• Vehicle of the day automatic cron added
• Vehicle of the month setting with customizable image

Installation
Instructions, tips and more are now in the online documentation as well as an included chm file.
Both are linked in the read me file.

The garage is developed on vb 3.8.3 and tested back to 3.7.0. The garage will run on PHP 4.4.7+ compiled with GD/GD2 and MySQL 4.1.x+

I am currently working on an importer for the old timeslips database.

Additional options for the garage like dyno charts, modifications and lots more are included in the commercial version at CND Systems

Added
The vba_vehicle_display.xml is a vbadvanced module to add a verticle column with vehicles, can be either latest vehicles, random vehicles or the featured vehicle. Once imported you can modify the module to change the number of vehicles displayed. This only works with the 2.x series.
The forum_home_2_0_2.xml file is a vb product which will display garage images on your forum home page. It has options for the location and number of images which is set through the ACP vboptions section. This only works with the 2.x series.
The postbit_user_garage-1_4_1.xml is a vb product which will add a link to the user garage in the postbit. Configure this on the Garage General Settings vboptions tab.

If my forum URL is www.randomname.com, and I have no redirects, then I should upload the install files into www.randomname.com/forums

Which version are you using? You're posting on both the vB3 and vB4 threads, confusing

The files should go in whatever directory the forum files are in. If your forum files are in the root then all the garage files go in the root. If they're in /forum/ then all the files go in /forum/

Is there or will there be an importing option from 'DTO Garage'?

I have a tester that I worked on. If you want, pm me your email address and I'll send you a copy to try. It's extremely beta though

On the TS, I thought they went out 3 places. Rounding it to 2 was a mistake for when the data is displayed, it does store the data as 3 places out. I'll make it go to 4 and upload the new files.

Using VB version 3.8.7 with the latest zip files, my timeslips are still rounding to .00 instead of .0000 <-ten thousandths

What file needs to be edited?

This is only happening on the front page of the garage. When you go to the actual timeslip it shows ten thousandths. Only on the front page, the "block," is rounded up.

I use CND Garage Forum Home addon on my forum. It works perfectly but i need a modification. Because of my forum is all about only one brand (Bmw), its not good to see other car brand's pictures on forum home. Because some of our members have more than one car and these cars re different brands and models. so how may i change this option that i could only see Bmw garage photos on forum home. If someone help me with this i really appreciate it.

Thanks for your suggestion but i don't want to remove other models either. I only need for a modification for Forum Home Garage Album plugin. If i can move other models except BMWs for not showing on forum home template then my problem will be solved.

I think there might be some changes necessary for the gfm_picture template. But i am not a coder so i don't know how to change it for the specifications that i need.

I like the slideshow at the garage main Page.
Is it possible to set the slide show also to the Forumhome ?
Thanks for hints
