ok i found fixed it i changed it to "alt2" as the class, and i removed your first <br> and last <br/> thanks for all the help!

[GoTTi]

3 questions i need answers on:

1. when a thumbnail is viewed in the popup, its showing the entire image...but if the image is bigger then the viewable screen, its not showing a scroll bar...that is a problem cuz on some high res images, im only getting 50% or w/e of the image...how can this be fixed?

2. how can i make the gallery load random images on load?

3. when a picture is deleted through the garage area, does it remove the image from the DB as well?

[Envy-UK]

Da GoTTi, once the image has loaded fully, the window usually expands to fit the size.

Magnus, how is the next release coming along?

Any ideas when you'll be releasing it to us?

Keep up the good work bro.

Known problem. Not too common, as most people don't allow incredibly large images.. anyway, I'll get around to tweaking it.

Wait for v3.2.0. This is implemented, see http://www.sffba.net/forum/vbgarage....=list&userid=1

magnus: I got the latest uploads on my main page, however, when someone is viewing forumhome, when you go to whos online, it makes it look like their viewing the photos. Is their a way to still make it look like its viewing muscle-mustangs.com forum index? Instead of viewing those pics?

Thanks,

Errr.. I'm not sure, really. Not that I know of, at least.. because once 'vbgarage.php' is called, that's what triggers the Who's Online Locator.

What I would like is a MENU ITEM at the top of the forum along with Member List, Calendar, New Posts, etc.. This new menu item would say DJ PROFILES. When somebody clicked on the menu item DJ PROFILES it would take them to a listing of everybody that checked the box in the garage that asked them if they were a DJ.

In terms of cars the menu item could say MUSTANGS and when someone clicked on the MUSTANGS menu item it would take them to a listing of everyone who has a mustang.

You need to explain a little better what you are trying to do. It would be possible to use a conditional statement so that "if" that checkbox="yes" than "this style is displayed". That would actually be rather easy. Example- in my performance stats hack, "if" the et field = "0.00" then the text "this member has not entered any et info..." displays. You can make that text into a hyperlink or even display an image or an entire different block of data. So, using your request, say you want to display a header on any "garage" (using garage as a reference, your idea may have nothing to do with cars) where the member has checked off "yes" to "DJ? YES/NO" then a hyperlink leading to to a separate page displays, or a graphic that pertains to the subject displays, etc.

You have given me an idea... I could alter my own code so that "if" et field="12." then display graphic "12secondclub.gif"

As far as being a PHP coder- that's a state of mind. Take some code and play with it to see what the effect of your changes has on the end result. That's how you can learn.

These guys like Magnus and Evil LS1 are TRUE coders, I'm the kind who knows a little about a lot and just enough to get myself in trouble. :nervous:

That's v3.2.0. It will be released when it's done. Hopefully very, very soon.

[joeychgo]

Cool. My guy was lookin

[magnus]

Hrm.. bad news. There may be a delay in getting the new version out this weekend. My PC has apparently decided to kick the bucket. It's not all that suprising, considering I've been running an XP2100+ @ 2.1GHz 24/7 for almost a year.. hehe. I'm over a friends' house, about to order an Athlon64 setup.. /sigh

I'll update as things develop..

[SVTOA]

No problem Magnus, good luck man!

[SVTOA]

I have been playing with one of my styles and have been able to make quite a presentation. When I'm ready to show it off, I will. It's almost like "cardomain.com" style.
