Any help would be great.. Thanks

I am having problems with the vbgarage permissions changing everytime I go into the permissions for registered users. Is anyone else having this problem? Its like the permissions keep changing themselves for vbgarage.

Thanks,

I installed this and everything went fine, however when I go the control panel and try and upload an image to the garage its submits the form with no errors but the image dose not come up. I am running GD2+ so that shouldnt be an issue. Anyone have any ideas?

This is my second post regarding this issue. Others have posted the same but nobody ever answers. Here is the problem:

I have installed this hack on about 7-8 forums now, and all have the same problem. Whenever I go into the usergroup settings to adjust a setting for a specific usergroup, it turns off the permissions for the vbgarage automatically.

I always have to go back in that usergroup's settings and turn on vbgarage again. It is very annoying. Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks,

Lem

Probably over half of the questions in this thread are about the same problem you are asking about, with its answer following most of them. Try doing a search in this thread for "permissions" or something.


Here I found one of my old posts that should explain what you need to edit. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=1455

Alrighty folks, found the problem for those of you running 3.0.7 or 3.0.8 like I am on a lot of my forums. I was having serious problems with my vbgarage permissions changing constantly for my various usergroups. Hope this helps...

The instructions tell you edit INIT.PHP like this:

PHP Code:

    #######################
        'caneditownusernotes'      => 131072,
    // START VBGARAGE HACK
        'canvbgarage'              => 262144
    // END VBGARAGE HACK
    ####################### 


BUT They must have added the reputation system somewhere between 3.0.0 and 3.0.7 because 'canvbgarage' is not the last line before the );

So, what worked for me is this:

PHP Code:

    'canseehiddencustomfields' => 262144,  
//  Originally you had to place 'canvbgarage' before the above line.
//Drop down about 10 lines and add it to the end of the reputation lines like this.


    // Reputation

    'canseeownrep'             => 256,
    'canuserep'                => 524288,
    'canhiderep'               => 1048576,
    'cannegativerep'           => 2097152,
    'canseeothersrep'          => 4194304,
    'canhaverepleft'           => 8388608,
    // START VBGARAGE HACK
    'canvbgarage'              => 16777216
    // END VBGARAGE HACK
); 


Notice that the number is double the previous reputation number(I dont know what the purpose of this is, but thats the pattern)

Hope this helps. I looked forever in these threads and I could not find anything clear. Just little bits and pieces. I hope this is a little easier to understand.

Thanks for this great hack,

Lem
