On that note, I've been brainstorming alot in these past days w/o a PC.. I've got alot of notes, so once I get my PC back up and running, you all should be pleasantly suprised.

good point about the attachments, i hadnt thought of it like that.

although i read through 746 posts and didnt see any problems.

Just a thought, from the AdminCP, you could try switching to the option of storing your attacments into the file system rather than the DB. I am doing that on my testing forum and is working well so far however, I have not installed this add-on yet. But when I did it, it reduced over 50% of my DB size.

(I only really stumbled into this hack today so if thats the way it already stores them, forgive me, as I have not yet worked my way through the complete install directions or thread)

How is 3.2 coming along, will it still be released?

chrisvonc · #**757** 05-08-2004, 03:46 PM

Whew... 51 pages was a lot of reading.

Ok, I came up with some questions during reading, some got answered some didnt or I may have missed...

- Will the future release be searchable by the vB search?
- Would it be possible for admins to create new garages for site users who dont have an account? I ask because I am bringing in all my sites current owners galleries into the vB DB but as of now am doing it with a modified style and making the section so that only I can create these gallerys. Could the same be applied to this?

edit: Sorry one more thing, you mentioned a few pages ago that the next version will use the vb attachment system. Do you forsee any issues with those of use who currently use the option to store attachments in the file system rather in the DB?

I installed this current version on my test forum and with one or 2 tweaks I found in the thread, like it very much and will install this on another, much smaller forum I own. I look forward to the upcoming release!

Thank you very much Magnus!

Its lookin good, like how every members page has a random picture!

Does anyone know if he's still putting the search feature in? Where it will let you brows cars by like V6, V8, year, heavily modified, lightly modified, and so on? I think that should still be incorporated in their. Because when a garage gets thousands of cars, the cars in the middle aren't going to get viewed and stuff. lookin good so far, Is it still going to have the rating system you were talking about?

keep up the work!

2 steps required:

1. Edit your vbgarage.php file

Find:

Code:

$data['text'] = parse_bbcode2($data['text'],'0','0','1','1');

Replace with:

Code:

$data['text'] = parse_bbcode2($data['text'],'0','1','1','1');

That will enable the IMG tag.

Step 2:
You need to edit the vb phrase
"vbgarage_text_desc" to say "IMG code is ON"

That should be all you need to do.
