I have a error, and I think it's with my template, not sure thou because I either am over looking something, or just friggin blind.. here is the error I am getting..

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '[', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/aayfcusa/public_html/forums/vbgarage.php(315) : eval()'d code on line 4

I can view the gallery without issues, it's just that I have that annoying message on top of the forums. Maybe it's lack of sleep.........

[Silverstangs]

Ah never mind I saw what I did, I added a extra bracket in the vbgallery_listbits in the templates..

I'm sure your motorcycle forum is nice and all, but downtime for debugging for me is just a little different than it is for you.

I just did a forum that gets 6.6 million hits a month and got not one complaint upgrading from vB3.0.6 to vB 3.5 and vBGarage 3.11 to vBPicGallery and 16 hacks had to be converted. Less then one hour downtime.

I guess ya have to know what you are doing to manage large forums. Good luck.

Please update to 3.5.1

alright guys i am stuck

from what i know my server/host gave me instructions on how to enable gd2.0 (which is the reason i thought i was getting red X's for the thumbnails, maybe it still is) i did what they said. now i am stuck, cause i still have red X's and i read through like 50 some pages of this thread

my site is www.sanantonioracing.net

i only have the vbgarage set up on two skins (first person shooter and xtreem)

the first person shooter skin you have to be in a subforum to see vbgarage link in navbar

the site is a work in progress and would really like to get this feature working properly before i start anything else

someone please point me in right direction!

thanks in advanced!

Best advice I can give is to say if you use vB 3.0.x upgrade to vBGarage 4.1.0.

Yes, you can use file system or DB and have multiple galleries for each user.

Sounds like the templates are not in all styles or not installed at all. Check all your styles for vbgarage templates. If they aint there, copy them.

[BackSideSA]

it only happens when they try to upload an image, that is when it goes blank

the templates are there for all my skins

You're not looking close enough.


If you are running 3.0.x and want to run vbgarage and are starting from scratch, use vBGarage 4.1.0.

i am running vb 3.5.0 and never upgraded vbGarage to 4.1.0 before i made the switch, is my only option a fresh install now? if so do i have to unistall the old vbgarge or will a fresh install overwrite anything that it needs to? i have already purchased vbpicg, just need to know which way to go with it

The only thing I can think of is to make your tables look like vBG 4.1.0 tables by hand and then run the upgrader.

This is something we should discuss over at my place and not be breaking rules.
