COOL! Could you see if he'll make a search feature for it to list them by make, model, last update, etc? Also, what about individual boxes? I think it would be cool of instead of having 1 huge text box, to have smallers ones with titltes like: Name, year, Performance mods, appearance mods, interior mods, etc...

Hope to see the new version soon!

Cool, so do you think you'll be able to incorporate those 2 requests?

Also, magnus said this can be done very easy, so I hope you would know the answer , too.

When I go to sites I don't really like clicking on each link to view the members rides. I'm more of an appearance guy, is their anyway to make another category in the first column to post 1 snapshot of the users rides? That way members can view what cars they like the best before actually clicking on their link.

Thanks for your help

Yeah, I have this on my forums. I put it above my forums though www.muscle-mustangs.com/forums

Anywase, all you have do is find a spot where you want it, I chose FORUM HOME. If you want it their, go to your admin cp, styles and templates, Edit Template, forum home templates, then Forum Home. I put my right under navbar.

This is the code you must put in, you can pretty much put it in anywhere on forum home that you wish it to show:

PHP Code:


<!-- START VBGARAGE HACK -->
<table cellpadding="$stylevar[outerborderwidth]" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder" width="$stylevar[tablewidth]" align="center"><tr><td>
<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
    <td class="tcat" colspan="5"><b>$vbphrase[vbgarage_latest_uploads]</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
$latestbits
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
<!-- END VBGARAGE HACK -->

So is there just going to be an update to this to a new version or will there be a patch to have it working properly with VB3.0.3 ?

</tr>

</tr>

Thanks, Magnus!
And thank you, Colin ... much needed and appreciated.

Any ETA on an updated version that works with 3.03?

[DJ RRebel]

I run a DJ / Club Music site ... was wondering what the posibilities of running multiple versions of this ... let's say for example I want to set up the following.

- One for DJ's home set-ups.
- One for Club reviews with pics from that club.
- One for members vacation pics.

While also allowing each member to have more than one of each. But have each of the above catagories seperate with different data fields?
