I'm also devising a variable template engine, which will sort of allow you to design HOW you want the users detail input to be displayed. The template will be populated by the users input, rather than having the user design the "template" themselves, as they do now.

I'm also considering making some of the variables more 'global', so you can call them rather easily from other portions of the site. For instance, if you wanted to call the "Latest Uploads" from FORUMHOME, etc. Though, this is secondary, at the moment.

Oh, and there is definately going to be a need for database restructuring in v3.2.0. I'm hoping I can devise a "migration"-type script. Otherwise, there's going to be a little (read: repititious/tedious) work involved for the admin (read: YOU!).

If anyone here is a SQL genius, and would like to help with this migration-script, shoot me a PM. I'm decent with SQL, but by no means do I know it inside and out (yet).

Well I am glad I dropped by to see how this is coming along.. Good work my friend. I for one am still running my customized Sportbike version with no problems at all.

I just had a thought.. if your going to have it so people can design how it looks for people.. maybe a search engine in this would be nice.. so there location being in IL can be found or FL or so on.. Just a idea.. dont know how hard it would be to add in. This way there can be a "Owners Registry" intergrated with it.

Keep up the good work my friend.. top notch

when viewing the garage, instead of clicking on a thumbnail and it going to the users garage, can this link be made to popup the image?

also, this is a big step to a photo gallery for vb. anyway to make this a official gallery, instead of a car garage...with maybe editing the informtion that is inputed on images, changing the upload area through the user cpanel.

also, can multiple images be uploaded @ once instead of 1 @ a time.

also, doing "vbgarage.php?do=view&id=1" or any users garage, the pictures are aligned right, is there a way to just make them center when not having text in the "Text"field.

The ideas/throughts i got here are to make this more of a gallery for users...

The answer to everything you asked is, yes. As I've stated before, over and over ad nauseum, this is completely template and phrase based. You can make it look and act almost however you feel like. It's just a simple matter of designing the templates differently.

Any plans to have the images use GD 1.6 to display?

Is there a way around using GD 2.0 (other than simply using a scaled down version of the image)?

My host are taking their time to upgrade.

In vbgarage.php, replace all instances of [high]CreateImageTrueColor[/high] with [high]CreateImage[/high].

2 things:

1. i would like to just have it where users can upload image, removing the required fields in the "vbgarage.php?do=editgarage", how can i do this?

2. when viewing "vbgarage.php?do=list", be better if the thumbnails on here would be made to do the popup to the image instead of going to the uploaders gallery. how can this be done.

Here's a way to do the thumbnails using vB's function for creating the thumbnails in threads... You have to write a temp file for the image function to work from, not a big deal... I used all the vB variables for the temp directory and such.

		if (!empty($_FILES['src']['tmp_name'])) {
			require_once('./includes/functions_image.php');

			$name = $_FILES['src']['name'];
			$data = addslashes(fread(fopen($_FILES['src']['tmp_name'], "r"), filesize($_FILES['src']['tmp_name'])));
			$type = $_FILES['src']['type'];

			$filename = tempnam(ini_get('upload_tmp_dir'), 'tmpimg');
			$fp = @fopen($filename, 'wb');
			@fwrite($fp, stripslashes($data));
			@fclose($fp);

			$attachment[tmp_name] = $filename;
			$attachment[name] = $name;
			$thumb = addslashes(fetch_thumbnail_from_image($attachment,$imageerror));
			@unlink($filename);
// insert into DB table here...
		}

A little more guidance with this would be great.
