Can a user have more than one garage?
If so, how do I set it up?

Also, I want to change the breadcrumb so it reads something other than "VBGarage" WHere do I do that?

Thanks.

vectra-a-x.de, they are stored in the mySQL database under table vbgarage_images, not in a folder on the server.

It's not an image...
It's the actual text. See my attachment.

Am i missing something in your previous post? I want to change the text "VBGarage" in the breadcrumb to something else...

[Action-N]

I think so...In the next version the "breadcrumb" navbar will be more like the rest of the forum an show the user where they actually are. That is what I showed in the screenshot, I uploaded another one this time with a big fat circle around the breadcrumb in question. Below is the code that would show while viewing the users garage.

OPEN up vbgarage.php an find (line 259).

$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'vBGarage'));

AND replace with.

// developing the navbar
	$navbits["$vboptions[bburl]/vbgarage.php?$session[sessionurl]do=list"] = $vbphrase['vbgarage'];
	$navbits[''] = "$data[username]'s $data[year] $data[make] $data[model]";
	$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);

Of course if you just wanted to change the vBGarage text to another that is just simply changing it without extra code.

wow!! this hack will be perfect for my site!!! Us Jeep owners spend lots of time in the garage!!! hahaha

[Rick Sample]

Is there a way to let each person have their own garage thats tied into their CP, or make it so the garage they make shows up in their CP??


Finally the width of the "add a comment" box. If you look here: http://www.rcswap.com/forums/vbgarage.php?do=view&id=1 You can see it extends over the edge.

Thanks in advance,
Ian

From the vBulletin Admin panel edut the template: USERCP_SHELL under User COntrol Panel Templates - Just add this in the "usercp nav" table

<if condition="$permissions['genericpermissions'] & CANVBGARAGE">
	<tr>
		<td class="$navclass[options]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="vbgarage.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editgarage">$vbphrase[vbgarage_edit]</a></td>
	</tr>
	</if>

You can change the width of the text entry box by editing the corresponding vBGarage template, in this case "vbgarage_viewgarage"
