Have you looked at the database tables for vb garage? Perhaps you can fix this by finding that user is still present in the table vbgarage_users

At the very least, now you know that if you decide to delete anymore users from your forum, you should delete their garage first.

I know this is one of those things you hate being asked but any idea on a release date? LOL

I think a LOT of us have been waiting on 3.2 for a while and are very anxious for it. I had actually stopped reading this thread for the longest, until i checked my email and noticed there were new updates to the thread in my weekly digest.

I'm glad you decided to take over the project and get us out of the one car garage into one we can actaully have room in!.. hahah

That did it, thank you very much!

[Club3G]

Also, can someone tell me how I would go about stripping the "year" field from it? I use it to gallery guitars on another site of mine, and the year field isn't needed, since people are posting up collections, not single items.

Thanks!

Well, no you don't. You edit the VB phrase "vbgarage" or hardcode the link in the navbar template. You don't edit the PHP file.

My way works too so neener neener. LOL

<a href="http://www.forum.juicyduff.com/vbgarage.php?do=list" target="_blank">http://www.forum.juicyduff.com/vbgarage.php?do=list</a> <--- I have tried everything stated in these threads, including changing permissions and the limit.. I am seeng exactly what you are seeing as guests - no upload box, just blank!

[Club3G]

Also, can someone tell me how to change 'vBGarage' in the screeny attached?

I searched on header, heading, title, and a handful of others but didn't find it. Tried a replacement variable but to no avail.

It's in vbgarage.php

or do it SVTOA's way.. but this this is quick and easy to understand.

Hello All, I'm going around doing some correspondence an it was time to give you guys some updates.

Finished features for 3.2: Multiple Cars per user, hit counter, garage ratings, 20 option fields. 10 separate text fields, 1 brief description field, an a title field. Working navbar "breadcrumbs", users garages shown in users profile, module for vBadvance CMPS, car picture in the listings.

About the issues concerning the garage permissions, there will be other hacks that get installed that may need to have those numbers. Just do some math, it seems the number is just double what was previous. So if you already have another code their with 262144 then double the number for vbgarage 'canvbgarage' => 524288,.

integra99, you mean race me in my car? Yeah right like an import has a chance. lol, yes all went well and the cars a real screamer now.

manguish, hmm sounds like it'd be simple to add mods to the edit permission. I'll see what I can do.

djnth , dude

GoldnGT, yeah well somebody has to keep asking right. Well I thought it would be done by now, but no deal. Still have some problems with the editing form part. Some things are about to get cut so I can just get done. Don't worry it's not the multi garage feature, that is build an seems to be working fine. I even made it so if someone only has one car it goes right to the garage an not a second list like originally done.

Zain Jaffer, Your best bet is to open up your "vbgarage_editgarage" template an at the bottom find: <if condition="$count <= $vboptions[vbgmaxupload]"> select it an move it down in front of the closing if statement. Yes this'll probably let them upload as many as they want, but at least it's something. Or maybe you can try opening up vbgarage.php an searching for "$count = 0;" an making the 0 a 1. I'll try this later since I had the same problem with version 3.2

Club3G, You brought up some good questions. About the user being deleted an it leaves their garage, well I may look into it, but don't think these guys want to wait for me to implement something for that. Maybe next project will be to give vbgarage a place in the admins control panel. Let you prune garages by themselves.

If you are going to want to get rid of the standard fields like year, make, model you'll be taking them out yourself. Even the next version will have these three standard fields. Open up your editgarage template and edit the form to not use this field. Then you might have to edit viewgarage also, I ant help you with where the field is used as I don't have that version running anymore. The next version will be universal, but not that universal.

This post earlier will help you find the text you seek to change the navbar text.

As for word on the next version being done, well after I figure out the editinf problems I'll have to build the install/ upgrade files. That is going to be the sucky part. Then it'll have to get passed out for beta testing being this is such a major upgrade.

If you need help testing things - let me know

[wynode]

I've noticed on my forums that the "Can use vBGarage?" option seems to be dropping off randomly for some usergroups.

Any reason why this might be?

I'm more than willing to beta test it. It will be a new install.

[djnth]

Exciting indeed!!

Well, logic would dictate that it would be somewhat easier to simply open your forums admin cpanel and edit the phrase in a few seconds, versus editing the php file, but whatever works....
