Running the queries and re-doing the file edits after the vB upgrade are what keep it working for us.

I can't be certain what is your exact problem, but as you see, those steps seem to get everyone else going after a vB upgrade.

Im obviously missing something. How does a member use this? How would I go about adding a car (or other item) to my vBgarage?

Assuming you had vBgarage working already before your vB3.0.4 upgrade, you need to do all the file edits listed in the original install files. Then you need to modify the 'canvbgarage' bitmask as you listed above and then run the 5 queries.

That's really all I got for ya. I'm trying man, but that's all I got.

As for a scratch install, I haven't done one since I can't remember. I'd assume you do a full install as per the original instructions, but during the file edits part you make sure you make the change to the 'canvbgarge' bitmask.

[bL@De]

I have just upgraded my board (>3.0.4 from 3.0.3) and executed the SQL queries (thanks noppid) and changed

'canvbgarage'              => 16777216

but users who have not setup their garage previously can't create them as there is no link in their own UserCP on the otherside existing users aren't a problem.

Any ideas what may be causing this?

Cheers
Darren

Like I mentioned before. Send me a Private Message with what you want added/removed/changed from the main thread, and I'll be more than happy to do it.

Try this. ACP->vBulletin options->vBgarage options->Save

That should light it back up for ya.

Good luck

Glad it worked out.

My problem is that i dont have the vBGarage in the ACP->Options anymore. I did all the file changes, except killing the database entries as I want to keep the existing garage entries.

You need to read back the last 20 or so posts. There is a link to a post with queries you have to run to restore those options.

Sounds like you forgot to upload your old includes/config.php after the upgrade.
