So Magnus, do you have the version where I would be able to edit member's garages for them?? Release it!

[spence2]

When you say that access can be limited to usergroups do you mean that:

usergroups can be permitted/denied to view
usergroups can be permitted/denied to post
usergroups can be permitted/denied to comment

could commenter's name be a link to their profile?

is the database table used to hold model year able to accomodate alpha characters as well?

are you close to implimenting a WYSIWYG submission form?

have we told you lately that we love you?

[alkatraz]

wow!! thanks for the hack

can't wait to try it out when I upgrade. Hopefully integration with photopost will be availible then.

At the moment, usergroups can only be permitted/denied to access vBGarage.

I am, however, planning to make it more selective in the future.

Sure.

In vbgarage.php:

FIND:

PHP Code:

while ($comment = $DB_site->fetch_Array($result_comment))
{ 


Add BELOW:

PHP Code:

    $user = fetch_userinfo($comment['username']); 


In vbgarage_commentbits:

FIND:

$comment[username]

REPLACE with:

<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?u=$user[userid]">$comment[username]</a>

The table you mean? Yes.

No, not yet. That'll be next, after the multiple garage feature.

Hello Magnus,

I've just completed my donation as promised.

Your hack & support are of the highest quality. I installed your hack in the early hours of Sunday, running into much the same problems as dede1 in the first few pages. I believe my host's mysql database is rather ancient but is offered free due to the common interest in French cars.

It's taken me 3 days of interupted sittings to get through the 24 pages this thread has turned into.

I also bookmarked significant updates along this thread:

Post 82 gave new files & instructions on upgrading from v3.0 -> v3.0.1
Post 188 gave new files & instructions on upgrading from v3.0.1 -> v3.1.0
Post 232 Adds "Who's Online" Locations

I'm going to upgrade now

Morning.. just wanted to give you a quick update.. Got 3 pages of user entries now.. people love it.. works very well. I will have to take a bite into the posting template again.. people want to just fill in fields instead of having to type code

Sorry bro.. ran out of time last night and ended up playing with the kid for a while..

But anyways it looks like you guys found it

I didnt reinstall. I just took out the template code out of the install script and added it in. Thats how I got it to work again
