I couldn't begin to tell you when.. I have alot of work on my plate right now (I do have a job), so most of my vBGarage time is on weekends. I don't anticipate it to take too long, but I won't make promises..

Any chance you can add Imagemagick support for this hack magnus, not very complicated actually since its a command line driven program that is quite popular on many hosts. It also does GIF which of course later GD versions dont.

i asked for IM support about 20 pages ago.. i think he said he'd look into it..
lets hope so.. i think getting GD2.0 to work on windows 2003 server is a problem.

As I stated before here, if I get time, I may entertain the idea of toying with Imagemagick. However, at the moment, I'm more focused on getting what I currently have finished.

Anyone else is more than welcome to incorporate Imagemagick support, and I would be glad to include it with future releases.

if someone has devised a way to add more sections than just the one text area, that would be great.

even tho i know its not technically the 'right' way to design a DB, id rather concat them all together and post it into the DB than add a new column for each one in the db. the reason, is so that i wouldnt have to alter the table to add more sections at a later point.

ie: rather than adding to vbgarage_users (userid, year, make, model, performance, appearance, etc, lastactivity)
just leave it as vbgarage_users(userid, year, make, model, text), concat everything into one text and add it.

then again, its not like it would be hard to add columns for these things.

not sure which direction to go...comments?

magnus awesome hack.

I'm sorry if this has already been answered, I searched and couldnt find anything, probably because its such an easy question and any moron should already know but since im apparently stupider than the average moron I guess I'm going to ask:

Where do I need to go/need to do to enable HTML just for the vbGarage area?

Thanks in advance!

[M@rkus]

So.. last question.. how can i deny the use of my [BIMG]-code?

No, this isn't a stupid question. This ability will be automated in the next release, as it will have a toggle in the AdminCP. However, for the time being:

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'],'1','0','1','1');

M@rkus, in order to disabled [BIMG], you would need to disable BBCode altogether. There's no way to specify individual codes to allow/disallow. In order to disable BBCode, do the following.

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','0','1','0');
