How can i change "Make:" into "Color:" ?

Edit the phrases. This is all template/phrase driven.

$vbphrase[vbgarage_year] = "Year"
$vbphrase[vbgarage_make] = "Make"
$vbphrase[vbgarage_model] = "Model"

etc ..

Just go into Phrase Manager, it's all there.

Have at it, that would be great.

I have just had a look at the code, and I'm not sure how to do it after all - I thought you were using the vbulletin attachments system! doh

sorry

No problem. I've got my little GD howto guide, and once I figure it out completely, I'll be implementing it.

When a user uses the WYSIWYG editor, do you still get the standard editor with no toolbar?
If so, will it be included in future versions?

[Floris]

Will a future version also include an option for users to add comments to that page (maybe show the last x comments with a link to 'all comments'. (kind of like usernotes used for that page). would be cool.

Y'know, I never thought about that.. I like that idea. So, yes, that will be included in the next release.

Yes, this is already in the works. In fact, I'm almost finished with it.

A little tweak I did for my forums, which some of you may find nifty was instead of having text input fields, I made it all drop down. See screenshot:

Sure, here's the (basic) code -- you'll need to modify it, of course, to suit your needs. Here is the code for the Year dropdown:

In VBGARAGE_EDITGARAGE:

Find:

<input type="text" class="bginput" name="year" size="4" maxlength="4" value="$data[year]" />

REPLACE with:

		<select name="year">
			<option <if condition="$data[year]==2002"> selected</if>>2002</option>
			<option <if condition="$data[year]==2001"> selected</if>>2001</option>
			<option <if condition="$data[year]==2000"> selected</if>>2000</option>

			etc ..

		</select>

You can obviously use this for the other fields as well, just be sure the <select name="foo"> variable matches the <input name="foo"> variable you're replacing.

I'm really looking forward to future versions of this! It looks like its going to be good

Thumbnails would really stand out, I'll keep looking for a way to get them working
