Amazing hack.....I am planning on using your new version to build an Airsoft Armory so that my users will be able to show off their guns as well as the upgrades and mods they have done to them. This hack has serious potential to expand beyond just vehicles.

That's the point. I'm actually thinking of turning this into vBGallery. We'll have to see.

Magnus,

One of the great things about this hack is its versatility. Presently, I am thinking of using this as a hack where photos may be secondary to the actual entry. Some users may have them, some not...like icing on the cake if they do.

So, if you develop a vb...garage...gallery would you consider making that a hack of its own? To preserve the versatility of this hack as it now stands? Or am I misunderstanding your notion entirely?

Sorry to bother you so guys so much about this hack, but its a cool hack, so I gotta have it perfect on my site:

Anywase I have the following ?'s

1. I'm still having trouble changing VBgarage text into Members Rides. Everytime I edit something in navbar, it gives me an error message, so I'm not sure if i'm editing the right thing or not!

2. like on top of the garage page or bottom is their a way to add a link so members can edit their garage, many don't know you do it though User control panel. If they see an "edit your car" button, their more likely to add their car!

3. what is last activity? is it just when they last updated or the last time they were online? mine keeps saying last activity was yesterday, and I've been online all day. just wondering

Thanks for your help guys,

Thanks for your help guys,

1. You have to edit the PHRASE for the navbar. Search in PHRASES for "vbgarage" and edit the translation to say "Members Rides"

2.Look in the template "USERCP_SHELL" for this:

<if condition="$permissions['genericpermissions'] & CANVBGARAGE">
	<tr>
		<td class="$navclass[options]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="vbgarage.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editgarage">$vbphrase[vbgarage_edit]</a></td>
	</tr>
	</if>

Edit as needed and insert into SHOWGARGE template where you want it to display.


3. Last activity refers to the last edit made to that Garage.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I got everything, but how do I find the showgarage template? I searched the templates and phrases for showgarage, and came up empty. any suggestions?

Sorry, that should be "vbgarage_viewgarage" not "showgarage"

I had this fine on my board for a couple days

then today i updated to the newest version of vb

installed the link hack and just changed a few other things

the actual vb garage is fine

but admin vb garage is missing from the admin cp.

its a problem because I need to change user permissions so that everyone can look at the vb garage.
its currently set for admin only.

someone help me out

I even donated 10 bux to the writer cause this is a cool hack

www.honda-central.com

edit:
i think a few things got reset.
i added vb garage to the user group php file

but i get a sql error;
mysql error: Unknown column 'canvbgarage' in 'field list'

mysql error number: 1054

should i have a fresh re-install done tomorrow?

I'm trying to add a PM this Member link below the Photo in Vbgarage_viewgarage..I've taken this code from MEMINFO but it doesn't seem to work..

PHP Code:

<if condition="$userinfo['pm']"> 
                <tr> 
                    <td> 
                        $vbphrase[private_message]:<br /> 
                        <a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;u=$userinfo[userid]"><phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[send_private_message_to_x]</phrase></a> 
                    </td> 
                </tr> 
                </if> 


Any ideas???
