My soul motivation for installing this mod was the fact I converted from InvisionBoard and Copland007 had a Garage Mod that kicked royal ass. I thought that this mod would take shape into a mod that is comparable to that and my members would be happy with.

So far, the creator is missing since May - My personal emails to him don't get returned. I even offered to purchase the code to his update at whatever cost, no reply. Unfortunately, if you bring out something like a hack / mod - You should stick around to help / support it. If you don't plan on that, don't release the mod - Seems silly to me. Has anyone thought about picking up where this left off and building something on it? Or is there another different "Garage" in the works? This type of mod has a big impact on my site, and right now the current offering is still teething and leaves alot to be desired (which if development kept up I'm sure wouldn't be an issue).

Don't mis-understand what I'm trying to say, I'm not ungrateful that he released this mod. I'm not unhappy with it's performance, what I'm unhappy is that it seems this will never mature into anything else than the 3.1.1 version it is now. But if this is the status of mods for a "supported" BB, the free "BB" mods are much better indeed and sometimes make me wish I hadn't converted in the first place.

I currently have this installed and have been going over the code. I am new to php so its taking me along time to do this and try to understand how he has it set up. I have alot of features I want to see in it and I just dont have the knowledge right now to make them happen. If you would like to get a team going to get this thing started again I can provide ideas I just need someone to help with the coding.

I would like that, however I'm still coming from modifying IPB vs VB3... So the learning curve has been pretty steep. However, I would throw my hat in the ring as well. However, this would all be great if we could only get Magnus to sign off on it. I won't copy or modify anyone's work without their express consent.

I would like to uninstall this as well as I wish to rewrite the way it works eventually. Plus I dont want people continuing to use it

[nickels376]

I feel the same about removing it till I can get a grip on what I can do. Un-installing it is pretty simple, just re-write the files you modified with the original VB3 files, then delete the MySQL entries and that's it.

BTW - The garage can't break an upgrade, the upgrade breaks the garage...lol

to uninstall just work backwards from the installation instructions...

(where it says Add, remove instead)

you shouldn't need to worry about the extra phrases, they won't harm your board.

Also, in the vbgarage home, you know how it has the username, type of mustang, etc... On the far left, is their anyway to list 1 members photo so the users won't have to click through each one. They will be able to see each car and click on the ones they find appealing, thanks,

Nice hack.

I found an install bug though. Looking through the install script I see nowhere that it modifies the prefix_usergroup table to insert the canvbgarage field so I had to do it manually. Might want to check into that .

Multiple garages needs to be done. One forum seems to have it.

Any idea on the coding?

That would be the author of this hacks webpage, I'm assuming a version to be released maybe?
