Well, here's a screenshot of the multiple cars progress. I've basicially been rewriting from the ground up, optimizing here and there, adding more security precautions, etc..

Unfortunately, so far it's looking like either you're going to need to do some manual editing to each user's garage, as well as each image, in the MySQL Database, or you're going to need to re-install. Quite a few things have had to be modified/added for this upgrade.

I'll know more for sure soon, though.

Yea, I've already added that.

As stated before, no. It would require almost a complete re-write of the script.

The pics are basically attachments, right? I believe attachments are stored in the database.

Although, while you are rewriting everything, the option to store the mages in a file may make gallery (PhotoPost) integration easier. Just an idea.


I have to say what a great job you have done on this. It has turned out to be more than anything I had imagined, and just keeps getting better. :up:

[joeychgo]

I think there is one addition that hasnt been requested magnus...

Maybe there could be a button where when the user clicks it, a little man with a camera runs out or the back of the CPU, runs outside, takes ad quality pics of the user's car, then runs back to the computer and uploads them automatically.

Shouldnt be harder then making a littleman.php file and a few queries right?

-----------------------------------------

Your doing great work on this one man.

If It Was Like This Or Similar For The Users Edit Garages Page It Would Be Awsome

[joeychgo]

OH I LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only thing I would add to that is an intergration with the timeslips info....... combining the 2 hacks into one, and giving a more complete place for all the info of a member's car(s)......

Well, since this is all template driven, you could make it look however you like.

Magnus,

I noticed this comment on another hack:
"PS: I would be interested in working with others on additional hacks specifically for Coppermine and vBulletin. if you are interested, PM me..."

Posted in this thread by the author of the hack.

Didn't know if this might interest you or not.
Personally, I'm a photopost user, but heck, I love the way this community is supposed to pull together....and your whole attitude, progress and hack has given me some notion of what vB.org can be.
