From what I've seen, it seems to work fine on v3.0.3. It would be rare for vBGarage to cease to function on future upgrades, as it's mostly it's own independant .php file. There would have to be semi-serious structure changes in vBulletin for that to happen.

I do, however, wish to touch on something I've noticed. While I'm flattered vBGarage has taken off as well as it has, please make note that the licensing is still in effect. By installing vBGarage, you are agreeing to leave the "Powered by" footer intact (unless previously agreed upon). Which, I've noticed, may sites are not (a simple Google search reveals dozens).

I take it this isn't compatible with 3.0.3 as yet?

I had it 3.0.3 and it has problems. You can't hide private fields from users who can view the vBGarage. and the usergroup settings don't stay.

An uninstall would be nice too. LOL

Anyknow where the 'vBGarage' text is sent from in this pic? I do not have them uploading cars and watch the text to read different. Thanks!

I guess you can't be expected to read through 84 pages of threads so here is the link from when I answered your question earlier.

To joey an others, I build the uninstaller an installer for 3.2 an after I installed it fresh on my board I soon found that I still had a few bugs to work out. So I almost made it, b ut now I need to rethink how certain features are handled. Biggest one right now is when I combined the query for the images to show on the list to save a query for each user. Now if they have no image uploaded the script breaks. So I must decide if I should force users to include an image, establish a defualt avatar, or seperating the quieries. I'm putting alot of time into this script and I promise I will finish it.

Also I am building 3.2 on a 3.0.0 board.

thank you action -- anything I can do to help just ask. I havent upgraded my VB to 3.03 because I dont want to have problems with the garage -

I'd say go with a default "No image" image.

BTW, I'm running 3.0.3 and will be doing a new install.

Your first post an that's your question. Yes just upload the pictures of both cars and desribe each one.

I noticed you renamed your garage. Well that's all fine an dandy unless you donated to magnus an got permission to remove/edit the footer in needs to be kept intact. Alot of work went into building this script, so the least we can do is show a little credit. The next version will allow more than one entry per user so just hang tight. It'll will also have a more defined layout so users aren't all doing thier own thing.

I had some one install that for me and they renamed who made it....sorry for that. I am not really good with installing these vb hacks but I am very intersted in the new update. When will that be ready??

Well you didn't have to read through the whole thread, just up two posts when I answered that question. Also on everypage now it show the hack info at the top of the thread. Reading the "future features" you will notice multi cars per user is listed there.

Your other question, it is possible but would require you to rename everything in the script to allow both.

Getting closer to release, Action-N?
Only asking 'cuz I'm on vacation next week and will have time to play with a new install....

[Number9]

GD Lib is now installed on the server. Thumbnails are enabled and the GD version was selected in the server options.

What else can I do to get the thumbnails to show? :tired:
