Drive Thru Online ? Garage

Overview

DTO Garage is a free product allowing all members of a site to show off their car, truck, motorcycle or other powersports toy. Site owners can easily adapt the section and subsection titles to suit the attributes to the site's focus. Images are stored locally preventing broken links and over limit displays common with images linked offsite. Drive Thru Online has made upgrading to the paid version of DTO Garage Plus easy, all user data stored in DTO Garage is retained for a seamless transition.

For users, management of their vBulletin garage is conveniently handled through their user control panel. The intuitive user interface encourages even the most challenged to create a compelling Garage. Images are added via a wizard from either the users own computer or a specified URL. Thumbnails are dynamically created with high-resolution images displayed in a navigable Lytebox. Users can designate whether a garage is visible to the rest of the site members or hidden until they have time to polish the information and give it the debut it deserves. Other users can view garages using interactive pop-up menus embedded in each post or through the Garage owner's profile.

Language Translation
As of version 1.1.3 DTO Garage has not been fully phrased and only supports English. With a future release it is our intent to offer a fully phrased version to support language translation of the product. When the fully phrased version is available we will provide documentation and tools to speed translations of the product for use on your site. We will also encourage those who have performed a translation to contribute it for distribution to other members. Any contributed languages will be included with this thread and credit given to the author. Site owners are free to translate the product either in its current state or future releases as they see fit given that the note found in the following Upgrade section is followed when upgrading. While Drive Thru Online will provide information to translators regarding the context of wording we can not provide support to facilitate the actual translation itself.

It was written for vB 3.6 but may still work and provides bbCode support for Photobucket video :up:

Mark

Yes i tried that, but it doesn't seem to work at all, not sure what the problem is. Im thinking it has to do with the file type.
in their example they have a .SWF file, but my videos from photobucket are .PBW

Getting this error when uploading pics: [path]/includes/functions_dto.php on line 49

Any ideas?

mferguson · #**294** 09-15-2009, 06:23 PM

Can you PM me with information on the image that is trying to be uploaded? Ideally if you can provide me a URL to the image or email it to me I can test it here.

Thanks!

Mark

If think there is a little bug in the navbar.

The first thing is that the dropdown menu is not below the garage link and second the class of the links seems not to be right.

This typically happens if you have a custom style that has the pop-up menu html contained in the template named "navbar" To fix this I usually have to open the DTO Garage navbar template and cut out some code and paste that code into the vBulletin navbar template for that style. Below is an example of what that might look like:

Original DTO Garage Navbar template

PHP Code:


			
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a id="navbar_garage" href="dto_garage_help.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">Garage</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_garage"); </script>

            

            

    <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="navbar_garage_menu" style="display:none">

        <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">

        <tr>

            <td class="thead" align="left">Garage</td>

        </tr>

                <tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="left"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/dto_garage.php$session[sessionurl_q]?do=index">Garages</a></td></tr>

$dto_garage_plus_search

                <tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="left"><a target="_help" href="$vboptions[bburl]/dto_garage_help.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Help</a></td></tr>

        </table>

    </div>

    

</td>

New DTO Garage Navbar template

PHP Code:


			
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a id="navbar_garage" href="dto_garage_help.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">Garage</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_garage"); </script>

</td>

New addition to vBulletin Navbar template

PHP Code:


			
<if condition="$show['popups']">

    <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="navbar_garage_menu" style="display:none">

        <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">

        <tr>

            <td class="thead" align="left">Garage</td>

        </tr>

                <tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="left"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/dto_garage.php$session[sessionurl_q]?do=index">Garages</a></td></tr>

$dto_garage_plus_search

                <tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="left"><a target="_help" href="$vboptions[bburl]/dto_garage_help.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Help</a></td></tr>

        </table>

    </div>

.

.

.

Again your mileage may vary as all skins are done a little differently. For example in one site we integrated Garage Plus into we had to change the DTO Garage Navbar template from being enclosed in <td> tags to <li> tags while also moving the pop-up menu code to the vBulletin navbar.

Hope this helps!

Found another uncached template:
Uncached templates: dto_garage_postbit_userinfo (1)
/private.php?do=showpm&pmid=XXX

Is this right?

Code:

    else if(THIS_SCRIPT == 'usercp' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'dto_garage' OR 
THIS_SCRIPT == 'private')
    {
        $globaltemplates = array_merge($globaltemplates, array(
            'dto_garage_usercp',
            'dto_garage_postbit_userinfo',
        ));

        ));

If the uncached template was being found when in private messaging then yes this is the correct place to add it.

Thanks!
