this is what it would look like if I were to edit per instructions;

Code:

	'canpostownusernotes'      => 32768,
	'canpostothersusernotes'   => 65536,
	'caneditownusernotes'      => 131072,
	// START VBGARAGE HACK
		'canvbgarage'              => 262144
	// END VBGARAGE HACK,
	'canseehiddencustomfields' => 262144,

Silverstangs · #**1323** 11-25-2004, 08:25 PM

My members are running into a issue. They can see the garage, but for some reason, they can not edit the fields in the usercp. it's not there. All the admins can thou. I go to the usergroup and set the permissions to use it but, it defaults to off. Is there a way I can make it permintaly enabled?

Silverstangs · #**1324** 11-25-2004, 10:15 PM

Update, I decided to move the vbgarage up on the list, and now it shows up...

PHP Code:


			
    'canviewmembers'           => 1,

    'canmodifyprofile'         => 2,

    'canvbgarage'              => 4,   <<<<<<<inserted it here

    'canviewothersusernotes'   => 8,

    'canmanageownusernotes'    => 16,

    'canseehidden'             => 32,

    'canbeusernoted'           => 64,

    'canprofilepic'            => 128,

    'canuseavatar'             => 512,

    'canusesignature'          => 1024,

    'canusecustomtitle'        => 2048,

    'canseeprofilepic'         => 4096,

    'canviewownusernotes'       => 8192,

    'canmanageothersusernotes' => 16384,

    'canpostownusernotes'      => 32768,

    'canpostothersusernotes'   => 65536,

    'caneditownusernotes'      => 131072,

    'canseehiddencustomfields' => 262144,

    'caninvisible'             => 524288,<<<<<<<swapped with this!

I just swapped caninvisible with it, since I don't allow anyone to be invisible. It's a bandaid fix. Is there a limitation to the array?

flstreetscene · #**1325** 11-26-2004, 01:31 AM

Ok this is strange...

I used the uninstaller and reinstalled. I used Silverstangs above posted [code] for init.php did everything as per instruction says and voila I got the the garage working. However, in the usergroup manager there is no option to enable "Can use vBGarage?" for any usergroups but yet they can all view it...?

So basically everything works except for that minor detail...

Silverstangs · #**1326** 11-26-2004, 12:44 PM

Hey Magnus & Action-N
For the Add-on Add "latest Uploads" to FORUMHOME by magnus..

When I use the following in your instructions for Vb 3.0.1 it works fine but......
it does not work when I use those for vb 3.0.3. on my test machine or main forum.

************************************* CHANGES I HAD TO DO***************
For vb 3.0.3. I had to use the following changes to your instructions in
order to get the Add-on Add "latest Uploads" to FORUMHOME by magnus..
for vbgarage to work. I tried it on 4 different test machines, two running 3.0.1
and two running 3.0.3. Freash installs for all 4 attempts, with the timeslips
hack and vbadvanced installed. I seem to run into two issues. The first issue
is with index.php. I get the error that I posted earlier

Quote:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT vbgarage_images.*
FROM vb3vbgarage_images
ORDER BY vbgarage_images.vbgarageid DESC
LIMIT 5

mysql error: Unknown table 'vbgarage_images'

mysql error number: 1051

Referer: http://www.stangcountry.com/forums/...dex.php?do=head
Username: Silverstangs
IP Address: 69.xxx.xxx.xxx

The second is with init.php. I'm not sure exactly what the issue is
but I have noticed that I can not use any number higher than 262144.
When I attempt to use the number 524288 it seems to have the option
Can use vBGarage? in the Usergroup Manager under
General Permissions to always be set to No for all the
users except for the admins. I attempt to switch it on, with several different
computers, and it won't stick. I get the same results with the test machines.
I don't know if you can confirm the issue I have found, but hopefully this can
help you all or someone else.

I've been watching this hack for a few months now, and think that this is an awesome idea... but as I don't run a vehicle-based site, I was wondering how difficult would it be to convert the phrasing towards Computer Modifications? Not to mention would such a change be approved? I'd like to have a way for my members to post pics of their computers, their specs, overclocking info and all that, and this hack would be the most efficient way.

It's not that hard to do, more of changeing a few words... I am doing that for another type of forum.

I guess what I need to know besides wanting permission is this: What exactly would I have to do? Go through all install files and weed out the words I want to replace? Obviously I would leave the credit to Magnus available, I didn't think that it would be that easy :\

joeychgo · #**1331** 11-26-2004, 11:29 PM

Slightly off topic -- I am interested in swapping links with VBGarage users - and want to do so on the VB Garage Footer. Anyone interested? Feel free to email me at joeychgo@lincolnvscadillac.com

BamaStangGuy · #**1332** 11-27-2004, 04:09 AM

Just thought I would show you guys what me and my other admin have done so far with this and let you know what we plan to do!

http://mustangevolution.com/forum/vbgarage.php?

This is what we have up as of now:
- All image attachments are stored in the filesystem. Much less stress on the database.
- Thumbnail previews to the rleft on the list page
-Different layout for the garages
- Added total images that a person is using to list page
- Added column for the rating the user has for their garage (soon to be finished and available)
- All images have .jpg extension for better linking on other type of forums

What you cant see but we have still testing is:

- Search feature, search by username, car year, car color, transmission type, car model etc
- Sorting on the list page by Username, car, rating, and last activity.
- Rating system
- Better managed user comment area, pm is sent to garage owner with every new comment, the ability to report a comment to a admin, reply to a comment directly underneath the other user comment instead of creating a whole new line for theirs.
- Image upload amounts for the garage area will be set up by usergroups seperate from vbulletins attachment limits.
- We will be doing away with the current way that the images are shown within the garage. We will have three different categories set up in the area where the pictures currently shown. They will be set in a fieldset like vbulletin does and will include a category for images at the top, directly underneath that video clips, and undernath that audio clips, set up in each of their own fieldset. The images will show thumbnails in their fieldset and the audio and video links will show links as of now.
- User commenting on the images and video/audio files uploaded will be improved

Thats all that I can remember right now. A few cosmetic changes within the garages themselves and I think we can call it finished

Silverstangs · #**1333** 11-27-2004, 04:24 AM

Well BrentWilson, sounds like you have the capability to just develope a whole complete different version. It will be interesting to see your version when it's complete.

It basically will be our own garage. I cant wait till its done and will talk to my other admin who wrote it if he cares if I share it with you guys.

SVTOA · #**1335** 11-27-2004, 12:55 PM

Brent I checked yours out, it looks ok. Couple observations though..
You might want to increase the resolution on the thumbnails, as they look pretty grainy. You may also wish to create a "no picture uploaded" type image (perhaps a running horse logo or something) that displays when a member has not added a picture, as the listing you have looks kinda out of sync where there is no thumbnail in front of the users who have no pix.
You might also want to use conditional statements so you don't have to have "N/A" stats showing up where members have not provided things like 1/8 mile stats or RWHP. As for the video clips, etc, all that's easily doable via the hack that I wrote for the original version that is included in the instructions. On our version, we simply added a profile field for a remotely hosted picture (such as those in a member's photopost gallery) that automatically parses the image URL and places the picture in the user's garage. We have timeslip, dyno sheet, video, etc all part of it. What's nice is, if a member does not fill out a field such a RWHP, then nothing displays in the stats table, only the fields they choose to fill out return a line of text and info. We also integrated the garage profile fields into the "Edit Vehicle Profile" function of EvilLS1's timeslip database hack. It all fits togther very well and looks a little "cleaner" that what your example shows. We have integrated Photopost into our Garage hack and the result is pretty nice, or so I am told by the members.

Nice work and all but if you have some question as to your associate "sharing" the work with this community, why post it here unless that is the intent to begin with?
It appears you guys are taking another coder's work and making it "yours" and then you don't even know if you plan to share it with the rest of the community? That's not cool dude...

SVTOA · #**1336** 11-27-2004, 03:17 PM

I have made a modification to my VbGarage 1/4 Mile Stats Hack that will create a very cool effect for members who have a video clip of their best 1/4 mile pass. What this will do is embed a media player in their Vb Garage that is loaded and ready to play the video, right there in the member's Garage.

The statement is conditional, so the way it works is, if the member has not placed a URL to a video clip in the profile field that asks for it, then nothing will display in the stats hack.

The way I will present this is to edit the instructions for my 1/4 mile stats hack. You can feel free to change the place in your vbgarage_viewgarage template to place this wherever you wish to. Media files must be compatible with WMP.

Code:

ADD A CUSTOM BLOCK TO YOUR VB GARAGE TO DISPLAY MEMBER 1/4 MILE TIMES AND MEDIA PLAYER FOR BEST ET VIDEO.
MAY BE CUSTOMIZED ANY WAY YOU WISH TO USE IT.
This minor template modification to the VB GARAGE by MAGNUS will create a custom block in the text area of the member's 
garage that displays 1/4 mile stats and RWHP if the member has filled in these custom fields. It also embeds a media player in the member's VB Garage that will play a video of the member's best 1/4 mile pass!
If the member has not filled them in, rather than display empty data the box displays an alternate message that you 
Can also customize.


############################################################################################

###################
Installation is quite easy.

Step 1:

Create 5 custom user profile fields:
"1/4 Mile ET"
"BEST MPH"
"BEST 60 FOOT TIME"
"RWHP"
*"Best ET Video"
* for this field you may wish to provide instructions to the member to place the complete url of their video clip in this field, and that it must be compatible with WMP to work properly.

Step 2:
Note the field ID numbers of the fields you created in step one, and edit the code below with your field #'s in order for this mod to work on your forum. The field ID #'s in the code below are examples from my forum. If you do not match the proper field id's from your forum then the info dispayed in the user's VB Garage will not be correct!

Step three:  Open template "vbgarage_viewgarage" and find:
