This is how it should look:

<td class="alt2" valign="bottom"><img src="$vboptions[bburl]/vbgarage.php?do=getimage&amp;id=$image[vbgarageid]" width="100" alt="$image[name]" /><br />
<center><input type="checkbox" name="delete$image[vbgarageid]">$vbphrase[delete]</center>
</td> 

Sweet. I got the thumbnails working. However, they are not working in the "Latest Uploads" table. Did I miss a part?

does my imagebits look correct to you?

<a style="cursorointer; cursor-hand" href="vbgarage.php?do=popup&amp;image=$vboptions[bburl]/vbgarage.php?do=getimage&amp;id=$image[vbgarageid]" onclick="PopupPic(this.href); return false;" target="_blank"><img src="$vboptions[bburl]/vbgarage.php?do=getimage&amp;id=$image[vbgarageid]" width="100" alt="$image[name]" /></a>

Yeah i am going to dip into the code as soon as Magnus is done with all the additions.. but at this rate I love watching his updates and changes.. becuase I never know if its already going to cover what I am looking for.. hahaha

Excellent work Magnus

I do have a few ideas which I think might be good coded in!

• WYSIWYG Editor - Should make posting MUCH easier for n00bs!
• A small message posted after clicking "submit" to update details, informing that the page has actually been uploaded. A few of my users got confused and thought the script didn't work.
• More than one vBGarage per person, which has been a frequent request from my users.

This is such a good hack you have created here! Let me know if I can help with any parts in anyway!

I am going to take a look at how GD2 works, as I use it for a gallery somewhere and the thumbs look a little different.

Yea, I'm looking into that. I believe filburt mentioned it earlier. I'm not sure I can use the vB WYSIWYG Editor, since I'm not using the vB posting system. But, we'll see.

Do you have vB redirects disabled? I'm pretty sure I put a redirect message in there.

Yup. Already working on it. It's pretty much done, just working out the kinks.

By all means.. if you stumble upon anything, let me know.

Ian, the "more than one garage" is easy- you can do that now with no modifications other than to perhaps change the text of the first three input fields-

You can "cheat" so to speak by simply manipulating what text you enter in those boxes- I have two cars, so what I did:

field "year" entry: "2003"
field "make" entry: "Azure Blue Mach1 and"
field "model" entry: "1994 Rio Red Cobra"


Result is my Garage title appears as so:
"2003 Mach's 2003 Azure Blue Mach1 and 1994 Rio Red Cobra"

Then I just listed the Mach1 first and uploaded the pix for it first, then listed the Cobra second and uploaded the pix second, result is a garage with two cars in it.

Make the same changes in your vbgarage_latestbits template. Replace [high]do=thumb&amp;width=100[/high] with [high]do=getimage[/high] and add width=100 in the <IMG> tag.

[SVTOA]

Magnus: Please see #248?

Can we:
Enable or disable the IMG tag in the cpanel for the Garage?
As admins have the option to EDIT a member's garage for them?

Thanks!

I think he was referring to two separate garages. Although, your idea works fine for the meantime. I will be allowing multiple garages (which is definable in AdminCP) in a future release.
