Another question - Instead of having images pop-up, could they appear on a seperate page?

Sure. Edit vbgarage_imagesbits and remove the references to the PopUp javascript). Just use regular <a href=> tags.

Well, I try to make the updates as easy/painless as possible.

no no, not complaining in the least..... youve been perfect, just complicated enough that I learn something while doing it without feeling overwhelmed or over my head --- absolutely perfect --- thanks

In vbgarage.php:

FIND:

PHP Code:

    $data['text'] = parse_bbcode2($data['text'],'0','0','1','1'); 


REPLACE with:

PHP Code:

    $data['text'] = parse_bbcode2($data['text'],'0','1','1','1'); 


As for Admin ability to edit, yes, that will included.

Your support for this hack is beyond compare. I think I will have to paypal another donation to the cause!
With that said... I sure do not mean to be a PITA, but.. Any ideas as to why the code that inserted into the POSTBIT_LEGACY and USERINFO templates that will create a link to the member's Photopost gallery will work fine in the postbit and user profile but nothing shows up or happens with the SHOWGARAGE when I insert the eaxct same code into that template?

This is how I am doing it in POSTBIT_LEGACY:
(my board url edited for example)

  <!-- added gallery code here --><div class="smallfont"><br><br><a href="http://www.yourwebsite.com/vbulletin/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=$userinfo[userid]&thumb=1"><smallfont>View my photo gallery</smallfont></a><br>
<!-- end gallery code-->

I would like it so that when a garage is viewed, there is a link generated to the user's photopost just like we have on the forums. Right now we are doing this manually.

Magnus:

Looking into the latest pictures on front end. I noticed it would be kind of nice to have the username and there "Vehical" underneath there name. Not just a picture

I see you have this in the latestbits

<td class="alt2" colspan="1" align="center"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/vbgarage.php?do=view&amp;id=$latest[userid]"><img src="$vboptions[bburl]/vbgarage.php?do=thumb&amp;width=100&amp;id=$latest[vbgarageid]" border=0 /></a></td>

However whever when I add

$user[username]'s $data[year] $data[make] $data[model]

it doesnt add the correct name.. plus doesnt input the year/make/model field.. just a username is under the picture.

Just was wondering if there was something simple.. if not dont worry about it.. had time to kill at work and just playing with template changes and stuff

[joeychgo]

maybe have it clickable, leading to that user's garage page?
