Add-On Releases - CND Garage - Timeslips

Description
CND Garage Timeslips is a garage/timeslip add on for vbulletin. Although it looks like phpbbgarage this is NOT a port, it is 100% my own code. I just modeled the layout to look like it.
Users can add as many vehicles, timeslips and images that the admin allows. The admin can define the amounts per site or per usergroup. Images are stored in the filesystem and thumbnails are automatically created as the image is uploaded.

Main Features

• No vb template modification needed (except to add link to navigation/community)
• Ajax driven menu's to keep load time down for very large lists of makes/models
• Button images are attached to style so that each style can have their own images
• 99.9% of the text is phrased so that it can be translated for multinational sites
• User's vehicles shown in their profile (vb 3.7+)
• vboption used for type of garage, to help aid in change it from a car to a motorcycle, atv, etc garage system
• Easily import data from vbgarage

NEW FEATURES IN 2.0!!!!

• New navbar menu, dropdown vehicle options and dropdown administrator options to clean up the layout
• On the fly watermarking, text and image
• Run garage outside of the forum directory
• Image resizing, 3 sizes of images, link on lytebox to open large image
• Trim field, vehicle class and purchase date added to the vehicle data
• Vehicle of the day automatic cron added
• Vehicle of the month setting with customizable image

Installation
Instructions, tips and more are now in the online documentation as well as an included chm file.
Both are linked in the read me file.

The garage is developed on vb 3.8.3 and tested back to 3.7.0. The garage will run on PHP 4.4.7+ compiled with GD/GD2 and MySQL 4.1.x+

I am currently working on an importer for the old timeslips database.

Additional options for the garage like dyno charts, modifications and lots more are included in the commercial version at CND Systems

Added
The vba_vehicle_display.xml is a vbadvanced module to add a verticle column with vehicles, can be either latest vehicles, random vehicles or the featured vehicle. Once imported you can modify the module to change the number of vehicles displayed. This only works with the 2.x series.
The forum_home_2_0_2.xml file is a vb product which will display garage images on your forum home page. It has options for the location and number of images which is set through the ACP vboptions section. This only works with the 2.x series.
The postbit_user_garage-1_4_1.xml is a vb product which will add a link to the user garage in the postbit. Configure this on the Garage General Settings vboptions tab.

Ok, don't ask me what it was, I just set up another testbed with 3.8.4, just as virginal as the other, now at least I see a navbar. Don't know what the installation hickup was...
Next issue now: When trying to add a vehicle, after choosing the make the model dropdown does not get populated. So I can't ad a vehicle

Did everything get moved into the clientscripts folder? I use ajax for the dropdowns and that's where the ajax files are. That's the only time I've seen it not work is if the files aren't there.

It's all there, I'm afraid...

I did it this way so I could get rid of all the vb templates/phrases/plugins/etc while retaining the data.

Thanks that fixed it,
I just Got a PM from a User that he can't edit his Garage...

I some how lost the ability to edit my garage or post a time slip. What did I screw up?

The button that says 2006 Mustang had an arrow with editing choices last night. I deleted my first vehicle then re-entered again. Now the little triangle is gone and when I click on 2006 mustang it brings me back to the forum.

Any Ideas.

Is there anyway to get a the garage pictures to show on the Forum Homepage?

Also, when I go to upload a image I get this:

error, image could not be moved.

I know it's possible, one of my users created a hack to show the images on the front page. I can't redistribute it though since it's not my work.

Can you send me a link to the garage location? I signed up on your forums but it's not in the normal place. The images should upload ok. It sounds like a permissions problem but that shouldn't be a problem anymore with the script, I put in code to change the permissions on the folder if needed.

Any possible way to contact his user, it would make this mod complete for me.

I'll PM you the location as this is on a dev site.

How can a Owner of the Garage Car edit his own timeslip?
is this an Admin only function

Also when I have 9 images and I want to add the tenth one (10 Max) I get this message
