Description
This hack will allow your users to create a virtual garage where they can store photos, details, etc.. about their vehicle (this can be modified to suit forums of other interests).
Latest Uploads will be displayed on Garage List.
Forum users can now leave comments in member garages.
Admin functions are available in the AdminCP.
This version contains the ability to limit access by usergroup(s). All templates are 100% XHTML Verified!

Ok.. got stuck on step 6 and 7. Dont see the CAN USE VBGARAGE in my Usergroup Manager. HELP...
In Forum Viewing Permissions: there is a field containing answer "Yes or No" but no question. Anyone know where is my mistake is? I think its in the Template and Navbar setting, but double check everything.
Add the recommended commands in step 4a above the profile.php and added the recommended commands below the calendar.php. I am stuck.
This hack is installed and working great except for one small bug. When a member enters a description of their vehicle, it saves, but does not display in the description box for some reason. For example, this member has a ton of information listed, but none displays: http://forums.livingwithstyle.com/vb...do=view&id=504
Does anyone know how to make the description field accept BB Code? Since it doesn't have photopost integration just yet, I'd like to be able to link to images in my Photopost galleries.
So there is no known fix for the broken thumnail images issue?
My Garage was working great for weeks then I updated Apache and ever since then the thumbnails show RedX. They still link to the full image, but the thumbnail itself does not show.
All the attachments in the board are working fine.
Anyone have any ideas?
I figured out what was wrong. I thought GD was working because the thumbnails in my main board still appeared. But vB creates a thumbnail and stores it unlike vBGarage which creates them on the fly.
So my GD library was not installed when Apache was updated.
Simply reinstall and everything works fine.
If you downgrade a user from usergroup 'A' to usergroup 'B' - and B doesnt have permission to use the garage - if the garage is already there it remains.
