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

Good thing you want it under the URL field, that's the only place until the next version that you can put a field without having to do template edits

You can add any type of a field that you want. I have a hack on my site that will add like 5 fields geared towards drag racing. You can do pretty much anything you want.

Let me know if the embed video field is ok and I'll make a plugin.

not really an embed area....just a place to put a link to a you tube vid....just like the url field....i want 2 url fields not 1...

gota link to your site?..


an embed would be ok too....what ever one is easyer for you

My site is www.vbprogarage.com
If you want any of the hacks I created just let me know. The ones created by the users you'll have to ask them if they'll release it for the public.

I tried it with the video embedded but it looked funky because there are fields underneath it. I'm working on the next version and it'll be easier to add a custom field anywhere you want. The version after that you'll be able to add custom fields through the ACP without having to add a new product.
Just import this xml and you'll have another url field called Video URL under the URL field.

The navigation link text is in the phrase garage_global_garage

I wouldn't suggest disabling the navigation tab since it drives the menu that has the links to control the garage

If you want to give me a temp admin account I'll check it out and see what's going on. I'll need permissions to access settings, language and plugins.

I was able to change it to House with no problem? I'll pm you instructions on what I did. Maybe you did it in a way that messed up the language.

You can edit the garage_vehicle_edit template and delete

PHP Code:

        <tr>
        <td><b>$vbphrase[garage_thead_mileage]</b>
        </td>
        <td>
<input type="text" id="mileage" name="mileage" maxlength="10" size="20" value="$my_vehicle_data[mileage]">
<select id="mile_type" name="mile_type">
$mile_type_option
</select>
        </td>
        </tr> 


and edit garage_vehicle_view template and delete

PHP Code:

        <tr>
        <td valign="top"><b>$vbphrase[garage_thead_mileage]</b>
        </td>
        <td>$veh_mileage
        </td>
        </tr> 


It's not a required field so just removing the field from the templates will be ok.
