With a real garage the images are just one little piece, the one I built has area's to add modification data, dyno run data, track lap times, 1/4 mile times, etc.

A real garage also has selction boxes for adding modifications. There is a category type (ie, suspension, engine, protection, etc.) then manufacturers under that, and then another selection menu to choose a specific item. Once the item is chosen, you can enter purchase price, installation price, product rating, etc.

So, more simply put, your looking for a dynamic gallery? Because that sounds like it could have multiple uses beyond just a garage. I'll have to look into that more, because it sounds like what your looking for is something I'm looking for as well. Something with extremely manageable dynamic content.

Go here and look at the smfgarage to get an idea. That link shows you the home page of that quad. You can then click the modifications tab for a break down of the mods done to it. This is the home page for the garage.

That should give you a better understanding.

If you are talking to me then i never stated in my post that it was a garage module, i simply said that i use it for my garages.

Read it properly please before jumping the gun next time.

I didn't jump any gun - [quote Veccy 150]We are using vbpicgallery as a garages system at the moment and it does the job fine until something more suited comes out. [/quote]

That is your OPINION - which is as useless as any one else's opinion including mine.

vpicgallery is NOT a garage. It is a picture gallery. If it works great for you - woo f'n hoo. It does not work great for many of us. This thread (and countless others) are for people who want a REAL garage. Thankfully one is just about done.

Comprehend please before jumping the gun next time. Unbelievable.

OK, back on track here guys. Pete, I agree vbpicgallery isn't a garage. I think Veccy was just offering me a suggestion that may or not be suitable for my application in the interim of someone producing one which will work for us. For the idea, I appreciate his effort and I'm sure once he saw the link I posted to the forum above with a garage, he saw the differences in what he has and what I need.

As for "Thankfully one is just about done", do we have confirmation of that from a certain source that one is REALLY almost done that will be made available to the public. I assume you're talking about the one for e1320.com. However, that thread looks to have gone stail with no updates from him since the end of July.

I would post a request for an update but since this is the determing factor of our purchase, I haven't a license and hence, can't post in the real meat of the forum to inquire. I would happily watch closely if someone was to post in that thread (that I linked in my first post of this thread) asking for an update on teh status and if he was still going to make it available for free.

Thanks!

Yes I have been doing beta testing for someone. It was completed the other day. They did a very good job, took a lot of suggestions from 'a car guy's perspective' instead of a coders.

No, it is not e1320's.

It does not use a central repository.

Unfortunately my programmer left for vacation this morning so it will be a week before we have it installed on a second system.

I don't think they can announce it on here because they will be looking for donations. I don't know how all of that works admittedly so that is the reason for me being vague. I don't want to get them (or myself) in any trouble.

[vile2006]

Well that makes sense and I wouldn't want you getting in trouble on here. If you want to email me more details, you can do so to my user name @ gmail.

I am certainly glad ot get a confirmation that something is underway and nearing completion.

Thanks Pete!

It seems like a simple garage could be made by modifying a few phrases and adding more input boxes for speed, torque, etc.
