Code modified. See the original post. Or, just change vbgarage_images.imageid to vbgarage_images.vbgarageid.

Und ich wei? nicht wo ich suchen soll

Dann kann es an ja nur an der neuen vB Version liegen
Oder hast du eventuell ne Datei ?berschrieben?!

dede1 has some problems. He can't access the vbgarage but his usergroup setting is set to 'can enter vbgarage'. Everything worked fine for him but than he updated from vB 3.0.0 to vB 3.0.1 and now it's not working anymore.
Can you look into this please?

1 last suggestion for the new VBgarage your developing magnus.

I'm more of a show kind of guy than a performance kind of guy. I imagine their are many others, too. Anywase, lets say if our site has been up for years with vbgarage and we have like over 2000 members cars. I'm sure not a single person is going to click each and every car. Most, they want to see a nice exterior, no matter what the engine size is. Is their anyway, in the new version, to like put 1 thumbnail view of the users most current upload right beside their username or something? This will enable people to look for the best rides without having to click each and every one


let us know man!

Should the user decide which image is displayed as thumbnail? Otherwise there would be the problem which picture to take.

I was thinking about this feature too

Well, technically, that can be done already with a couple edits. However, I'll consider making it configurable in 3.2.0.

vB3.0.1 has obviously removed/modified some settings. He may need to manually run the vBGarage 'settings' SQL queries.

Hi
to edit this to suit my forum can i edit the installer file so it installs the new phrases?

$DB_site->query("
		INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "phrase (languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES(0, 'vbgarage_text', 'Text', 1)
	");

can i change the above sql insert from vbgarage_text to member_info etc to customize it or will this mess with the installer?

thanks again.

I'm still waiting to find out how I can use the vB function to provide me with thumbnails, I'm guessing my requests have been lost in the vast amount of questions.

No, you cannot change the "vbgarage_text" unless you edit the script/templates as well to reflect the change. However, you can edit the "Text", to have that phrase return whatever you like. Do that through the Phrase Manager in the AdminCP. There's really no need to change the variable names, since the users never see them. It's just called by [high]$vbphrase[vbgarage_text][/high]. It will return whatever you define it to.
