after playing with this a bit, i've noticed the following:

re: requiring at least 1 picture ->using the code provided here will prevent people from updating their vbgarage if they arent adding a picture.

re: uploading pictures -> people can only upload one picture and then they have to click submit and start again.

magus your code is legible and easy to read, makes it a lot more fun

In version 3.0.1 is there a way to delete a member's entry, if for example they spam it instead of using it to post their car?

If not, does one of the newer versions contain that feature?

[flstreetscene]

I've searched this thread but I can't seem to find the way to add additional fields for the car information?

Also, what do I edit to place a link to the users "edit garage" page perhaps opposite of the "Powered by: vBGarage by magnus" row.

I really can't imagine any other reason. If it is the correct version, I'll need access to troubleshoot this myself.

fixed, i was reading upgrade wrong i thought you had to replace

<input type="hidden" name="do" value="edit" />

but it said ADD below... so hard to misread when your so used to replacing these template edits lol

No, v3.0.1 has no edit/delete support. v3.1.0 was the first version with delete functions. However, v3.1.1 (latest) has delete AND edit functions. I highly suggest upgrading.

There is no "walkthrough" for this, as it requires a fair amount of hacking. This is why I simply had an "text" box. I few people have added what you're asking for, perhaps they'll share?

In vbgarage_viewgarage:

FIND:

<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="3" align="right"><span class="smallfont">$vbphrase[vbgarage_footer]</span></td>
</tr>

REPLACE with:

<tr>
<td class="tcat" width="50%" align="left"><span class="smallfont"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/vbgarage.php?do=editgarage">$vbphrase[vbgarage_edit]</a></td>
<td class="tcat" width="50%" align="right"><span class="smallfont">$vbphrase[vbgarage_footer]</span></td>
</tr>

That should do it.

I GOT VBGARAGE up and running!

However, I have one slight quesiton. You know where the VBgarage link is with all the other links like faq, member list and so on. Is their anyway to change the text VBgarage to Members Rides?

That way new members and guests will know what it is. New members may not of heard of VBgarage before.

thanks,

[Rick Sample]

Also, is their a way to change it to a different color like red? this way it will stand out from the other buttons up their.

thanks,

edit the phrase or hard code the text when editing the navbar template

[magnus]

Exactly. It''s all phrase driven.

Glad to hear you got it working!
