Add-On Releases - CND Garage - Timeslips

Description
CND Garage Timeslips is a garage/timeslip add on for vbulletin. Although it looks like phpbbgarage this is NOT a port, it is 100% my own code. I just modeled the layout to look like it.
Users can add as many vehicles, timeslips and images that the admin allows. The admin can define the amounts per site or per usergroup. Images are stored in the filesystem and thumbnails are automatically created as the image is uploaded.

Main Features

• No vb template modification needed (except to add link to navigation/community)
• Ajax driven menu's to keep load time down for very large lists of makes/models
• Button images are attached to style so that each style can have their own images
• 99.9% of the text is phrased so that it can be translated for multinational sites
• User's vehicles shown in their profile (vb 3.7+)
• vboption used for type of garage, to help aid in change it from a car to a motorcycle, atv, etc garage system
• Easily import data from vbgarage

NEW FEATURES IN 2.0!!!!

• New navbar menu, dropdown vehicle options and dropdown administrator options to clean up the layout
• On the fly watermarking, text and image
• Run garage outside of the forum directory
• Image resizing, 3 sizes of images, link on lytebox to open large image
• Trim field, vehicle class and purchase date added to the vehicle data
• Vehicle of the day automatic cron added
• Vehicle of the month setting with customizable image

Installation
Instructions, tips and more are now in the online documentation as well as an included chm file.
Both are linked in the read me file.

The garage is developed on vb 3.8.3 and tested back to 3.7.0. The garage will run on PHP 4.4.7+ compiled with GD/GD2 and MySQL 4.1.x+

I am currently working on an importer for the old timeslips database.

Additional options for the garage like dyno charts, modifications and lots more are included in the commercial version at CND Systems

Added
The vba_vehicle_display.xml is a vbadvanced module to add a verticle column with vehicles, can be either latest vehicles, random vehicles or the featured vehicle. Once imported you can modify the module to change the number of vehicles displayed. This only works with the 2.x series.
The forum_home_2_0_2.xml file is a vb product which will display garage images on your forum home page. It has options for the location and number of images which is set through the ACP vboptions section. This only works with the 2.x series.
The postbit_user_garage-1_4_1.xml is a vb product which will add a link to the user garage in the postbit. Configure this on the Garage General Settings vboptions tab.

Cheers fella,

I'll have a proper shot at the changes tomorrow - just tried just now, and possibly due to the way I've arranged the layout of the garage main page all the info was a bit out of sorts. That or I put the info in incorrectly (which I can't rule out!)

I'll try again tomorrow with a fresh brain. Cheers for the help, much appreciated :up:

I am getting a red x with IE8 on cars with no images? see attached

Also when some members create a vehicle they are not assigned to an owner.

Sorry about that, thought I had it fixed.
On garage.php at Line 436 you'll see

unset($image_id);
unset($vehicle_img_data);

After that add

unset($row_img_exists);

I'm not sure about the no owner thing. I'll check and see if I can recreate it.

Tried the mod as above, and its still doing what it was last night. (See attached)

Would this be due to the way I've ordered the main garage layout?

Try using this file. Let me know if it still doesn't work.

That's spot on mate! :up:

Thanks a million for all the help! Am I right in thinking the full release does mods etc? Generally, our site doesnt generate enough income to justify spending on additional software. But that said, the garage programme is perfect for us and something I might look into in due course Especially with the level of support given so far!

Thanks again!

Yes it does mods, dyno runs and a lot more
You can check it out if you want from the link in the mod.

The biggest request I am getting is the ability of the script to auto downsize images that are larger than the set limits. Is that possible?

[Dylanblitz]

I've been working on it. The problem is that gd is a big fat hog heh. It's ok for making small thumbnails, but you want to make a 800x600 image and a thumbnail and it will grind the server to a halt. I'm looking into work around for it and also implementing imagemagick support, which processes images a hell of a lot better.

[burntire]

I run imagemagick on my server. I would galdy test that out when you get it running.
