I think i already know what the answer to my question will be about the photopost link- there will be an edit to vbgarage.php with a

$data parse of vbcode

string I need to ad, and I should be able to figure this out myself.
but an answer from Magnus would be fine too!

Hey guys- if you haven't done so, send Magnus a little donation via paypal, he has gone WAY beyond the call of duty with the support for this hack.

And what about putting the image on a page with the vbgarage surroundings?

Well, I just feel that's the way I'd like to take my version. I've never been a fan of pop-ups.

From there, you could add further options, perhaps it could also display the vB code for the image, etc.

With that said... I sure do not mean to be a PITA, but.. Any ideas as to why the code that inserted into the POSTBIT_LEGACY and USERINFO templates that will create a link to the member's Photopost gallery will work fine in the postbit and user profile but nothing shows up or happens with the SHOWGARAGE when I insert the eaxct same code into that template?

This is how I am doing it in POSTBIT_LEGACY:
(my board url edited for example)

  <!-- added gallery code here --><div class="smallfont"><br><br><a href="http://www.yourwebsite.com/vbulletin/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=$userinfo[userid]&thumb=1"><smallfont>View my photo gallery</smallfont></a><br>
<!-- end gallery code-->

I would like it so that when a garage is viewed, there is a link generated to the user's photopost just like we have on the forums. Right now we are doing this manually.

Use this instead:

<!-- added gallery code here --><div class="smallfont"><br><br><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=$data[userid]&thumb=1"><smallfont>View my photo gallery</smallfont></a><br>
<!-- end gallery code-->

Welp just got done sending Magnus a little something for all his help and work. I must say he has taken the time to support this hack. I think he is a little suprised how many people wanted something like this I think this will be a very big turn out.

Thanks again Magnus.. I appreciate it

I see you have this in the latestbits



However whever when I add


it doesnt add the correct name.. plus doesnt input the year/make/model field.. just a username is under the picture.

Just was wondering if there was something simple.. if not dont worry about it.. had time to kill at work and just playing with template changes and stuff

Use this instead:

$user[username]'s $list[year] $list[make] $list[model]

Let me know if that works.

In vbgarage.php:

FIND:

PHP Code:

    $data['text'] = parse_bbcode2($data['text'],'0','0','1','1'); 


REPLACE with:

PHP Code:

    $data['text'] = parse_bbcode2($data['text'],'0','1','1','1'); 


As for Admin ability to edit, yes, that will included.

This worked perfectly, only thing to add is that the phrase

vbgarage_text_desc has to be edited so "IMG code is ON" will display in the edit or creation panel.

I am sending another payment for your time Magnus. Please go claim it!

I'm just really glad everyone likes the hack. I guess that's a hack authors biggest concern.. "will people like it?"

I appreciate all the support I've recieved from you guys, it really makes it all worthwhile.

As long as people keep using the hack, I'll keep working/adding/toiling over it.

Yup. The vbgarage_text_desc will be updated automatically once I incorporate those toggles into the AdminCP.

Thanks for your donation!

No, THANK YOU!!! Some people release hacks and then you are sort of left to your own defenses!!
