vBGarage Latest Uploads on FORUMHOME 3.5 · **Released**: 05-27-2006

vBGarage In FORUMHOME template -AND- vBAdvanced CMPS Homepage

Full Working Demo at my Honda Prelude Forums

Summary
Simply put this addon to the popular vBgarage gallery for 3.5 will take the the latest uploads (or a random set) in vbGarage and display them on your forum homepage.

About this hack
Finally!! I waited a month, searching every week for it and just said the heck with it and did it myself. I personally like to display RANDOM images instead of the latest because right now my gallery isn't busy enough so the images get old lol

Requirements
Obviously you MUST already have vBGarage for 3.5.x installed on your board for this to work as it uses a template from that hack. This is an Addon hack. All credit for the original vbGarage code goes to magnus and of course credit to Trigunflame who ported it to vbulletin 3.5

Installation
Simple...
1) Install the plugin
2) Do 1 simple template edit.

NOTE: Please download the type of display you want. I have a separate file for both LATEST uploads and RANDOM images.

Template Edit

In the FORUMHOME template

FIND:

Quote:

<body>
$header
$navbar

Under that ADD:

Quote:

<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" class="tborder" width="$stylevar[tablewidth]" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="5"><b>Latest Member Galleries</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
$latestbits
</tr>
</table>

That's it!!

Now in your AdminCP just go to Plugin System > Manage Plugins > Add/Import Product and upload the vbulletin-plugins.xml file.

Please Click Install

NOTE: I just added a text file showing how to add this to your vBadvanced Homepage. Just download that text file and follow the instructions. 1 tempalte edit and one vbadvanced file edit.

Sorry, I used the code from the other referenced thread. The instructions here worked great, thanks!

The lightbox is cool. However, consider this... If you have 1000 photos, you just lost 1000 content pages indexed in the SERPS.

Code:

<center><b>Latest Member Galleries</b></center>

For Firefox users, at least with a MAC, you'll want to wrap the center tags around that line of the code.

Really?

I may have to reconsider the lightbox thing then.

Installed! Works great with vBGarage with Lightbox. Check it out in action here: CaliberSRT4.net Forums

Is there a way to fix this?

To get it to cach, in other words.

This worked great on forum home but on vbadvanced I took your advice and used the welcome block and um it wiped out my entire left center right structure. Anyway to make it um not so wide? maybe just 2 photos? Also latest and random are exactly the same code in the read mes. i tried to do random in cms and latest on forum home.

this is awesome. i can't believe i just found this!

anyone know how to make it show the cars in a vertical row instead of horizontal?? i'm trying to fit them into a column on the side of my forumhome.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
