Add-On Releases - CND Garage - Timeslips

Description
CND Garage Timeslips is a garage/timeslip add on for vbulletin. Although it looks like phpbbgarage this is NOT a port, it is 100% my own code. I just modeled the layout to look like it.
Users can add as many vehicles, timeslips and images that the admin allows. The admin can define the amounts per site or per usergroup. Images are stored in the filesystem and thumbnails are automatically created as the image is uploaded.

Main Features

• No vb template modification needed (except to add link to navigation/community)
• Ajax driven menu's to keep load time down for very large lists of makes/models
• Button images are attached to style so that each style can have their own images
• 99.9% of the text is phrased so that it can be translated for multinational sites
• User's vehicles shown in their profile (vb 3.7+)
• vboption used for type of garage, to help aid in change it from a car to a motorcycle, atv, etc garage system
• Easily import data from vbgarage

NEW FEATURES IN 2.0!!!!

• New navbar menu, dropdown vehicle options and dropdown administrator options to clean up the layout
• On the fly watermarking, text and image
• Run garage outside of the forum directory
• Image resizing, 3 sizes of images, link on lytebox to open large image
• Trim field, vehicle class and purchase date added to the vehicle data
• Vehicle of the day automatic cron added
• Vehicle of the month setting with customizable image

Installation
Instructions, tips and more are now in the online documentation as well as an included chm file.
Both are linked in the read me file.

The garage is developed on vb 3.8.3 and tested back to 3.7.0. The garage will run on PHP 4.4.7+ compiled with GD/GD2 and MySQL 4.1.x+

I am currently working on an importer for the old timeslips database.

Additional options for the garage like dyno charts, modifications and lots more are included in the commercial version at CND Systems

Added
The vba_vehicle_display.xml is a vbadvanced module to add a verticle column with vehicles, can be either latest vehicles, random vehicles or the featured vehicle. Once imported you can modify the module to change the number of vehicles displayed. This only works with the 2.x series.
The forum_home_2_0_2.xml file is a vb product which will display garage images on your forum home page. It has options for the location and number of images which is set through the ACP vboptions section. This only works with the 2.x series.
The postbit_user_garage-1_4_1.xml is a vb product which will add a link to the user garage in the postbit. Configure this on the Garage General Settings vboptions tab.

One more thing... I'm noticing some strange inconsistencies with the timeslips... On my timeslip creation & edit pages, it lists 1/8 and 1/4 mile speeds as 'KPH'. Viewing the timeslip itself, it's listed as MPH. However on the 'Top Timeslips', it also lists speed as KPH. As far as I can tell the speed should only be listed in MPH.

Thanks again!

PS As a side note, the proper abbreviation for Kilometers per Hour is KM/H.

I'll take a look. I'm not doing any more dev on the 3.8.x version but I'm sure I can find the fix for it.
You can change the KPH to KM/H in the phrases. Thanks for letting me know though.

Open garage.php

On line 1296
Replace

	if ($vbulletin->options['default_mileage'] == "0")

With

	if ($vehicle_data['mileage_unit'] == "1")

That will fix the timeslip page.

Glad you like it, let me know if you run into any problems. I'm not developing the free 3.8.x version anymore, just the 4.x one, but I'm always happy to fix errors.

When adding a timeslip on 3.7.0 I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function checkifnumber() in /home3/smartbox/public_html/louisvillemustangscom/includes/garage_func_var.php on line 149

Sorry, found the solution here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=119

Dylan,

What's the difference between this and the paid version?

and How can I add the VOTM or Featured Vehicle into the right side of the welcome box like you did on your site?

I didn't add the featured or VOTM parts until the vB4 version for the free script. I'm not developing the free vB3 one anymore as it's too much work to maintain 4 versions.

The paid version has vehicle modifications that tie to a business directory inside the script, dyno runs, clubs, events, fuel tracking and laptimes that can be tied to tracks.

Dylan- Does the paid VB3 version offer anything more than I have currently? I'd love to have dyno runs and several other items you mention, but am not going to vb4 anytime soon.
