VbGarage 3.5

VbGarage 3.5
Let Your Members Show Off Their Rides !!!

Summary:

This is a semi-direct port of the hack located at:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=63681

The author has given me permission to re-release this hack under his 3.1.1 codebase, and as such I have converted it Vbulletin 3.5 support which involved a good many changes.

Also I changed a couple templates, and some html fixes so it will look a little better than it used to, feel free to suggest any other bugs that need to be fixed.

One last thing, although I will "Try" to get around to fixing any bugs that come in, this is NOT my hack, and therefore I will not associate myself with supporting this hack; I merely have done a service for the people that requested the port.

Credit goes to the original authors: magnus, noppid, action-n

Again: THIS IS NOT MY CODE. AND IT IS NOT SUPPORTED.


Information:

1. Make sure you have a writable tmp directory.
2. This script only supports jpg, png, gif files.
3. I dont plan on re-writing this entire script to make it bug free, so please dont ask me to do so.

Upgrade From Vbulletin 3.x.x :

1. There is no upgrader; you just need 2 do a couple things.
2. More than likely you can leave your old vbg tables (havnt tested).
3. You _Do_ need to delete any previous settings/phrases/templates though.
4. Use phpmyadmin or w/e you use, and search your database for vbg with a wildcard it should locate anything that has that name in it; and delete them. Then follow the INSTALL.txt

Installation:

1. Download Zip File
2. Read INSTALL.txt
3. Click install if you like


Changes:

3/10/2006 8:43am - Fixed Comments; they now post to correct Garage.
3/9/2006 10:37pm - Image Types are determined manually.
1. Did some actiontemplate optimizations, so only the necessary templates are loaded on the pages needed.
2. Removed the text field limit for describing your ride.
3/9/2006 10:37pm - Image Types are determined manually.
3/9/2006 12:54pm - A change to image output.
3/9/2006 12:06pm - Attempt to fix image corruption.


To Upgrade:

Simply overwrite the vbgarage.php file.

I installed and set it up I even uploaded pics of my car. Everything works great except when I try to click on one of my pictures to make it larger, it takes me to a screen thats says this:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /forums/vbgarage.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request

Why is this coming up?

[Martyn1983]

Mustang...I had that problem too, but it seemed to solve itself.

I made no changes to files after upload, the only thing I could think was that it was a permissions error on the server or an issue with hosts/bandwidth limits?

Well I fixed the problem. I had a live chat with my host and they fixed the issue. They said it was an XSS problem so its working! How can we control the size of the inage on vBgarage? I noticed that we can't set the pictures on how big we want them.

Question.... is there a way to show 4 or 5 random thumbs from the Garage on the forum index page?

Maybe I'm missing a setting somewhere...?

Anyone know how to do this?

Hey there people.

Some of you remember me from a few pages back. regarding the modifications I made to vBGarage on http://forums.GenerationDub.com.

I don't exactly know if this is the right place to post this... but since there were over 100 requests for my modifications.... I have been developing a new plugin to "take over" where vbGarage left off. I call it "vHoist" or Virtual Hoist.

Basically the plugin fully integrates into your forum software providing seamless integration without the limits of other plugins with similar features.

We are currently looking for select Vbulletin sites to finish off our final testing before releasing it to the public on vBulletin.org. Obviously it is going to be a free plugin.

We are currently looking for candidates that have a current, active, vBulletin forum that is looking for a "Garage" type plugin but does not currently have one installed. If this is you, or you are willing to drop your current vBGarage or equivilant plugin for vHoist, then you are a perfect candidate.

If however, you wish to import your current vBGarage, then we can also accomodate you. We are currently working on an Import feature which will be availble shortly after our inital release of this plugin

Please visit http://forums.generationdub.com/ for a demo of what vHoist can provide your site, and if you are interested in either of the above options contact me here or via email, admin@vHoist.com.

A FAQ Has been provided at http://www.vhoist.com.

vHoist Has:
- Multiple Garages for each user
- No added SQL Query's
- Users Cars listed under their post info (if wanted)
- Full integration into your forum
- Users can share their garages over multiple websites without the need to modify their profiles for each site.
- Anyone that "parks" their car on your website, will provide a backlink to your site for every other site they are on.

The list goes on, but I don't want to "jack" this thread since I will be making my own soon.

I figured this would be ok since vBGarage is no longer supported anyway.

Thanks for your time!

Just so everyone knows, I upgraded to vB 3.8.0 RC1 over the weekend and re-installed vBgarage 3.5 successfully in less than 5 minutes without any problems. Even though it is unsupported it still works fine, check it out on my website:
