I'm having a little glitch I can't figure out? Some members have no "upload button" anymore, since the last upgrade. If I use the original vbgarage.php for testing, then the browse button comes back. If I use the upgraded version, the upload pix function goes away again, but for me as an admin, it always works?
Any ideas??
Does just the button dissapear? Or does the entire field dissapear? The field will dissapear once the user reaches the preset number of images. The default is 6. Make sure you've set/saved the settings in the AdminCP.
I'm looking forward to the next upgrade, can you reveal what you have in line for us next upgrade?
Well, I've got Admin garage editing finished. Do you guys want me to release that now, or wait until there's more things added? There are no new templates and no new queries. Just a new vbgarage.php and a couple minor template edits.
I was going to hold off until I finished the multiple garage function. Let me know what you would prefer.
One thing i've noticed however. The "add comments" TEXT BOX, doesn't stretch. I think it's at a fixed width? Do you know where I would make that change?
You will now have a "vBGarage Templates" Category, which can be expanded and contracted, in your Template Editor. This is a nice little tweak which will clean up your template editor, Lord knows it's probably a mess.

Ok, what happens with even a "fresh" garage is that the browse box is not there, and this is even with members who have never uploaded even one pix?
I checked in the admin cpanel, even upped the minimum images to 8, still no joy. As I said, if I revert to the 3.01 version of the vbgarage.php file, the upload ability returns.
I'm thinking something is not right with the 3.1.0 version of the file?

I would like to try it just to see if I can clear up this upload glitch I am seeing on mine...
