Well the vBgarage update still says 3.1.1, however there is a link in the main post by magnus to the updates that were done as a result of vb3.0.5.

I have the whole thing re-written and relabeled as 3.1.2 so that confusion will go away. This includes images in the file system and a conversion tool to move images from the DB to the file system. The conversion is a two step process, you move the images to the FS and test, if things work well, you can then in step two remove the images from the DB.

The upgrade for users that want to stay with images in the DB will be very easy, just upload the new vbgarage.php and the new vbgconfig.php with the default settings and you're done.

New installs can choose which mode to operate the script in from the beginning, FS or DB mode.

The proposed 3.1.2 is running on my M/C site in filesystem mode (after a conversion from DB mode ) and my computer rigs site is in DB mode it you want a preview.

Hi, I installed noppid 3.05 version on my board.
But the thumbnails do not work at all (red crosses).
And what is even worse is that no matter wheater you click on a picture or a username on vbgarage.php page it alwayws redirects me to the index.php site without doing anythink else.

GD 2.0 is istalled on my server.

Does anybody has an idea what I can do to make it run properly ?

[noppid]

A quick look reveals this as the link produced...

http://213.221.106.91/bond007/index.php?/vbgarage.php?do=view&id=1

I'm looking at it, but I'm not sure what's causing it ATM. The other forum links seem ok.

My first impresssion was to say it's the forums path in the ACP, but I'm not sure.

Those links are generated in the Templates by this variable, $vboptions[bburl], nothing in the update would have affected that as there were no template updates and the script does not modify that variable.

Hi noppid,
you were 100% , it was the forums path in the ACP, I added a index.php there which was not neccessary. I thought it was right because the whole forum worked with it perfectly.
Now that I removed the index.php in the forum path the hack works like it should.
Thanks for the quick help.

[noppid]

Gald to hear that worked out!

Just a quick question: Does this use the WYSIWYG-Editor?

No, just an input box.

And a note:
HTML is off by default and even if you do turn it on, the new update strips any HTML before submission from the text input fields.

I'd like to thank Inzagi for his help with the next upgrade. Upon testing the stock code we found his server going to it's knees displaying the top 5 latest uploads on forumhome.

After a day of editing code and pretty much changing the entire way images are handled with GD, we got the usage load to at least a 70% or more improvement. I know that sounds nuts, but I think he can attest to this since he brought it to my attention.

I'm running the code and he is too. Although I have permission from magnus to work on this, I will contact him before I release anything.

Thanks

Due to 3.0.6(7?) there will be no new release till we can review the new code in vB for conflicts. We've only patched our forums so far so we have not had a chance to check things.

hello,

i just went through each step one by one when installing the vbgarage and at the part where it says:

6. In the ADMINCP, under Usergroup -> Usergroup Manager, make sure to enable "Can use vBGarage?" for all usergroups which should have access!
By default, all usergroups are set to No.

i clicked on admins and then click on yes and this is the error that i get...????
