Add-On Releases - VB Pro Garage Timeslips

Description
VB Pro Garage Timeslips (formerly CND Garage/Timeslips) is a free vehicle and timeslips add on for vBulletin 4. This is a great way to allow members to show off their rides, whether they are cars, motorcycles, atv's, etc. Site administrators have dozens of options to tailor the way the garage is displayed and the number of vehicles, images and timeslips the user can enter. User vehicle creation is done through a simple screen with dropdowns and simple text fields. Users can enter either miles or km and system will automatically calculate differences for front page statistics.

** New Features **
* SEO Friendly URLs (htaccess only)
* Page Caching - physical html files which make a HUGE reduction in sql queries
* Front Categories - a category system as an alternate front page to the block layout. I believe it will increase the garage ranking in search engines greatly when used with SEO URL's and the included dynamic meta tags.
* Thread Creation - Automatically create new threads in the forum of your choosing with the text of your choosing when a new vehicle is created in the garage.

Main Features

* No vb template modification needed
* Ajax driven menu's to keep load time down if you have a very large lists of makes/models
* Usergroup level permissions to set the amount of vehicles, images, timeslips allowed
* 99.9% of the text is phrased so that it can be translated for multinational sites
* On the fly image/text watermarking ability to make sure images are tied to your site
* Lytebox image presentation

Installation
Instructions, tips and more are now in the included chm file. If you have problems with the chm I have the document published at:
http://www.vbprogarage.com/forums/docs/html_vb4_ts_300/

The quick and dirty install:
1) Upload all files in the upload folder
2) Import vb_pro_garage.xml into Product Manager
3) Import vb_pro_garage_language_english.xml into Languages & Phrases
4) If you want all makes and models I've collected, import vb_pro_garage_vehicles^^new_install_only.xml into Product Manager

Post Installation
So you don't have to find it in the instructions. After install, there is a button up top in the navbar. This button by default is admin only. This is so you can configure and test without having to close the garage. When you are ready to deploy to the community:
ACP->Settings->Options->Garage General Settings - Set Garage Menu Button to Enabled.

The garage is developed on vb 4.0.7 and tested back to 4.0.0. The garage will run on PHP 5.x+ compiled with GD/GD2 and MySQL 5.x+

Additional options for the garage like adding featured businesses that support your site, fuel tracking, dyno charts, modifications and lots more are included in the commercial version.

Many thanks to Coroner for his stylebridge which led me on a path that saved me hours and hours of template editing

Hi,

Someone take over this Garage mod and make it yours. Adopt it and fix it for everyone. Many, many, many forums out there are based on cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, quads, jet-skis, etc., etc. any kind of vehicle. And since there is no other supported garage mod out there available, anyone could just corner that market and monopolize it.

I'm surprised that someone hasn't already recognized this yet. Look at how long this thread is, everyone is screaming and begging for someone to help them with this mod, how many of those and others that we don't know about would drop this mod and go to a better working version of it?...the whole market.

This is proprietary code, it cannot be just taken over by another programmer.

I am nearly ready to release my 'garage' addon. I posted a prerelease version on the thread linked in my signature. If I can stop adding to it it would just need a few phrases worded an be done.

That is good news, but you really should not be posting about your modification in another authors thread.

TBH that is fine, he is just promoting the fact that he has his own version of the mod. It's not like he is saying bad stuff about this one, and asking you to buy his, he is just trying to keep this alive.

[Action-N]

I was merely responding Powerlynx post. I didn't name my mod or link to it but even if I had I don't feel it would be a problem at this point. An fyi this forum has a Similiar Mod thread box on the page that links to "other" peoples mods.

[tbworld]

No disrespect to any developers offering usable code here, that is what I promote. I would have said the same in @Action-N's thread. It was obvious to me there was no bad intention, I just did not want to see the thread derailed: which usually follows. No worries.

Hi, look really a wonderful mod.
But i think that if you make to personalize the texts of the description of the vehicle
like it shown in this page https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...9&d=1288225794

Will be really a useful mod for many others forum.

Year
Make
Model
Trim
etc.....

is it possible to personalize those descriptions???

Will be really great.
