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

hmm, that should of done it. Are you running the query through the ACP sql query or phpmyadmin?
If you are doing it through phpmyadmin can you run this and see what you get back?

SELECT * FROM phrasetype WHERE fieldname = 'garage';

If you get no rows back then I'll have to figure out where else it's still calling the garage phrases. If you get something back then the delete didn't *take*
btw, are you trying to uninstall the garage for good or was it just a server move? I'd think reinstalling the garage would fix the problem.

Dont want to uninstall it for good. I am using phpmyadmin.

This was the return result from running the phrase above -

MySQL returned an empty result set (i.e. zero rows). (Query took 0.0281 sec)

I don't know if this has been asked before, but everytime I access the garage from the navbar, my entire forum switches from the default center orientation to left orientation.

Another thing, everytime I upload a pic for a vehicle, as soon as the uploading is complete I get the following error: Error: Image could not be moved.

I'd appreciate any sort of help I could get, apart from that, this thing is awesome

Did you reinstall the language file? I thought you were removing it. That's usually when you get that error, if you uninstall and there is some error that leaves a bit of it there still heh.

Try reinstalling the product and language file. It should readd the phrase group, but all your settings and customized templates should stay the same.

The image can't be moved error is usually permissions. Change the permissions to 777 on the images/garage/attach folder and any subfolders.

The left orientation happens with some styles. You can fix it by editing the garage_css template
ACP->Styles & Templates->Style Manager
Edit the templates on the style you use and find the VB Pro Garage->garage_css template

Find

body,div,dl,dt,dd,ul,ol,li,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,pre,code,blockquote{margin:0;padding:0;}
li{list-style:none;}

Replace with

body,div,dl,dt,dd,ul,ol,li,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,pre,code,blockquote{margin:50;padding:0;}
li{list-style:none;}

Find

body {
	width:{vb:stylevar doc_width};
	min-width:{vb:stylevar doc_minWidth};
	max-width:{vb:stylevar doc_maxWidth};
	margin: {vb:stylevar doc_margin};
	font-size:{vb:stylevar font.fontSize}px;
	color:{vb:stylevar body_color};
	line-height:{vb:stylevar line_height};
}

Replace with

body {
	width:{vb:stylevar doc_width};
	min-width:{vb:stylevar doc_minWidth};
	max-width:{vb:stylevar doc_maxWidth};
	font-size:{vb:stylevar font.fontSize}px;
	color:{vb:stylevar body_color};
	line-height:{vb:stylevar line_height};
}

I did that using an FTP Client, I already have a car added, but still can't add any pix to it, still get the same error, what do you think is the problem?

Thank you very much, it is now centered just the way I like it

Are you sure all the sub directories were changed as well? This is how I'd set mine if I had the problem



I don't mean to harp on it, but that's always ended up being the problem when someone would get that error. You have to make sure all sub directories are set to 777.

[G37Sam]

Yup I set it exactly that way, guess I"m going to have to live with no pix in the garage lol

Installed on 4.0.6. Installation went perfect and it works awesome. Probably my favorite mod at this point.
