vBulletin Mods

I've been informed of the current situation. I apologize. Let me see what I can do.

In the meantime, if anyone has the latest vBGarage (4.1.1?) archive, please e-mail it to [email protected].

Thanks.

~ magnus

Thanks magnus :)

Do you still need this?

Yes, please.

So where is the latest multi-car version of vbGarage? I would very much like to install it on my forum!

Noppid got pissed off and took it with him.

sent, sorry it took so long i've been super busy :(

He seems to have reappeared on vbulletin.com... with an attitude.

magnus i know nopid made a new unreleased version as i have got it :D

email nopid and ask him for it :)

any word on someone having the latest. I think my board is running 4.04

no problem really, but I wouldn't mind the lastest

This is a real shame, I was wroking on the update for my forums and I'd bookmarked the 4.0.4 release but not DL'd it until I was ready to install.. I go to install and it's gone. :disappointed:

I hope we can work something out, because this is a premium modification to me and I'm sure many many others.

Magnus, I really hope you pick this up again. It's a great addition to my site.

Thanks!

I emailed Magnus the new files, and asked if he wanted help developing it. But I havn't heard back, so there's really nothing more I can do.

Put a package together and put them up online so everyone can have them. I believe there were bugs nut it's probably stuff we can work out. I'd really appreciate if you could send the files to me as well, I can see what I can do.

I can't, it's not my release, if magnus says it's ok, then i will....

Well I'm not talking about magnus's release I'm talking about Noppid's. I mean it was online and available so why can't it be again. Why can't we just throw it up, this is the single modification holding me back from bringing my re-designed/updated local mustang forum live. :disappointed:

What new mustang forum do you own, is it the one in your sig or?

I'll drop you a PM.

I'm keen to have multiple garages for our forum.
Very slow progression with this hack!
Great to see magnus back amoungst us.

All vBGarage Code I have released is available at the computer help forum. Magnus and Action-N are still credited for their contributions and the fact magnus got this started.

However, this is no longer even close to the code magnus released as 3.11, it has evolved way beyond that. The primary reason I am now managing this code is that during the 3.11 period magnus was not available and the garage was under attack from kiddie scripters. I fixed mine myself. After weeks of seeing the probelm I stepped up and offered my patch at the time. Things went form there.

So the vBGarage code is available for 4.0.4 if requested and 4.1.0 beta is posted.

vGarage is also ported to a vBulletin 3.5 plugin and working well. There are many new additions and enhancements too.

No one was abondoned. Like many other premium coders, we think it's best if we post and manage our code when and where we choose.

Please remember, vBGarage 4.0.x, 4.1.x and 4.3.5 are copyrighted material.

Thanks

Did magnus ever handed over the copyrights to vBGarage to you? If not i think we could have a problem here.

Based on that, vBGarage is now a private hack. I don't have time for this. Now the copyright concern is dead.

Regards

Sorry seems like i don't understand you. Could you please explain what a "private hack" is and what it means if "the copyright concern is dead"?

This is between me and magnus, thanks for your concern. He knows how to contact me.

Regards.

for the record...

initial permission granted
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showp...postcount=1549

second version released with permission noted.
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt...light=vbgarage

A Premium hack forum requested and created with me originally as a moderator and the only poster and coder. The community wanted the code and an admin here asked me to bring it back to availability. This sudden questioning of the perrmission has undertones I resent!

I think that's enough permission. But it's of no consequence. I'll have it recoded and rebranded overnight.

Yes you are 100% right if you say it is between you and Magnus. I am sorry if i gave the impression that i was trying to interphere in that.

I just didn't understand the meaning of your reply and i was hoping that you could word it different so i could understand. You must forgive me, but sometimes it is hard, not being a native English speaker.

On the other hand if you are using our forums to promote private distribution of materials for which the copyright is held by someone else, then it is not only a question between you and Magnus anymore. But this is not up to us to decide (in my opinion this still is up to magnus, personal opinion). But since this forum is already being used to promote your site, it is reasonable i think that i am trying to understand what you are posting here.

I am a license holder and I expect to be able to promote my forums here just as anyone else does. You seem to be saying alot but trying to come off as being concerned. I don't believe it and I resent it.

I thought we were done and beyond the anomosity, apparently not.

I will leave and go away. It's obvious that the employees of Jelsoft have no intention of ever treating me fairly again.

Regards

noppid, as far as I am aware, your continuation of the vBgarage project was only allowed to you as long as you kept the code and the hack here for vBulletin.org and no where else.

And it seems like you have broken that agreement.

You have no clue what me and magnus discussed. So therefore, you too need to mind your business.

Thanks

I might add, you are heading into territory where by if Magnus claims copyrigth to vbgarage 3.11 that that would invalidate the code I wrote and everyone, not just me, would have to give up the code. This is of no benefit to the community.

Let me know if we are going to continue a good hack or have a fight about where it lives.

I have the DCMA forms ready to file. This will be done right if that's how you want to do things and it will not benefit the community.

Does your boss want to do that work? Are you speaking for Jelsoft when you question my copyright? Are you an attorney? Are you an attorney for magnus? Do you have a copy of the copyright agreement you say you are aware of and that you cite?

Did magnus file a copyright petition with the proper authorities? I'm certainly not aware of one.

Let's get this de-escalted now, because I'm really fed up.

The bigest reason to drop this is...
http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.html#cr

There is no enforceable action that can be taken here. I'm certainly not looking for one in any case. If that's where you are going, I think it's just going to cause decent amoung those that will lose out.

Just to make one thing clear, no vB.org staff except for those who are also vB.com staff are Jelsoft employees. :) We are merely volunteers, just like you and other members of vB.org

This is just to clarify that one point for other members who may read this. That's all.

We always encourage hacks to be released on official Jelsoft sites to prevent piracy but obviously every hacker has a right to do what he wishes with his hack. :) We all respect this.

Thanks for the reply. I appeciate the clarification. Rather then deal with ownership, I have coded a totally new photo gallery as a vBulletin 3.5 plugin. It is vBulletin 3.5 code which makes it 100% unique. vBGarage is incomaptable with vBulletin 3.5. There are at least 29 points of difference between this and vBGarage. There will be no copyright issues.

To avoid future concerns over the vBGarage copyright it's probably best if it is left alone. Magnus has the base code in 3.11 to continue the job if he desires. The 4.x.x code is withdrawn to protect his interests.

If he wants to continue, he can contact me for permission to use the 4.x code in the future. That makes the copyright respect go both ways which is only fair if in fact this is stated to have been a partnership and not that I took over.

Regards.

Hello, please can you help me I really need this code, could someone mail me the 4.0.4 release? or at the very least the readme file?




take out the PLEASEREMOVETHIS to mail me

thankyou very much, I need to move my site to 3.0.7 and can't currently as i have over 400 people who depend on vbgarage

You could PM one of the authors asking for this. Unfotunatly it is not allowed for another member to send you this hack if it is not released atm on the authors wish.

you can find noppid at vBulletin Webmaster - PM him there.

He's working on a whole new photo gallery that goes far beyond what VB Garage can do. Its really very cool.

I guess I am dumb but I can't find the 3.5 plug in download.

Sweet I am glad to hear all of the info!!!!

Because there's no :(

I already contacted the author but I don't think he will reply :(

I hope everyone sorts things out in the end, because this is a good hack that i would love to see continued.

yeh im also looking forward to this plugin wud help greatley on my site thank u.

I hope its worth the wait :)

Replying here for the lack of desire to register and post elsewhere. Noppid, I respect your decision and will be more than happy to purchase your product when it becomes available. :)

Dollars in hand, Just PM me when its good 2 GO

any word on the new release?

Couldn't stand the wait so i paid a very talented coder, and I am super impressed with the results and so are the members!

To answer a few questions:

My official development of vBGarage has ceased. All releases containing any portion of my code and/or the name "vBGarage" are protected under GNU licensing and are free to be distributed by whatever means you desire -- regardless of what anyone else may think. I've heard noppid is developing a gallery of his own under a different guise, and for all questions relating to that you will need to speak to him.

If anyone wishes to continue vBGarage development, be my guest. Again, it is GNU licensed for all to enjoy.

The success of vBGarage has gone far beyond what I could have ever dreamed -- a simple search on Google for "vBGarage" will show you what I mean. However, I handed the project off eons ago because I couldn't keep up with it, and that author seems to have gone on to bigger and better things. So, for the time being.. C'est La Vie.

You can contact Noppid HERE

I wish we just had a FINISHED version for 3.0.X :ermm:

You do. 4.1.0 is just fine and is running on one of the biggest car forums I know of with no issues what so ever. I just never moved it from the beta forum.

ah hello, well then it should be moved.. back when I got a release of 4.1.0 It had to come from a member here because it wasn't available online.. My main issue is that I'd like support for it. I like what you've done but there is a lot I'd like to change and it's beyond me to do so by myself. Maybe we could talk about some enhancements and you could use them on your newer releases but help me make these features work on 4.1.0 and even release them to the public as well..? They're not BIG changes but mostly things I need to know where to go to change them.

If your requsets are within reason and I usnderstand them, I will help. However, with vB 3.5 out, there will be no further development of vBGarage. I'll check the threads for support and squash bugs if those things are needed only.

Noppid, do you know where I can get the database to filesystem converter at for 4.1? I misplaced the one I had when I downloaded it when you first released it.

Thanks!

The files are posted. Is that one missing? I'll post it if it is.

EDIT: It was missing, it's posted.

Is there a plan for VGarage for 3.5 / 3.5.1 ?

I was just wondering about this, did read through the thread but didnt notice anywhere whether it was ongoing or halted?

EDIT: - Just noticed Noppids post a few up...Doh, damn shame you're not continuing with it :(

i am running the new vbgarage 4.1 now for over a week and it is working perfectly........ http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt...0&page=2&pp=15 if you want to see a couple pictures of it.

Great to hear. Thanks

On 3.5.X? If so, I'm DEFINATELY d/l'ing it

no sorry, i am on 3.0.10 but the program works perfectly..........i just wanted to update everyone, since some of the drama that took place earlier.......I think i read somewhere that this program won't be converted over to 3.5.......but for those that are having problem's with the install on to a 3.0.*, this file does work......

I have a few personal thing's i would like to see added and changed a bit on the 4.1, but i don't seem to get much feedback on the addition's to the program......I am not very good with php file's, so for now i am just using the file that is available to the public.........4.1 really does rock though, some pretty kewl feature's.

What's the secret to upgrading from vbgarage 3.1.1 to 4.1.0?!? After making all the listed changes, all I get is blank pages on vbgarage.php.

So, is it safe to give up all hope on having this working on 3.5.x at this point?

Ok, so after spending some time reading a lot of post, I understand that on 3.5vb version, if we need at least the 4.0 version of vbgarage we need to buy vbpicgallery at this adress http://www.cpurigs.com/forums/showth...light=vbgarage

So no (multi car) vbgarage version on 3.5 right?

You need vBGarage 4.1.0 on vB 3.0.x to use vBPicGallery for vB 3.5.x.

I added Lightbox 2.0 to vBGarage

click here to check it out

http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/vb...ber-42479.html

sorry to be a pain but any updates for vb360?

thx!

Can someone post a link to a purchase page or somthing?

what is the latest version and where is the link to it? I do believe I have 3.1.1 That is the only link I find for it.

please where I can obtain vbgarage 4.0.4 or 4.1.0?

ditto this

I too am wondering where to get this for 3.6.


-Skippy

I bought VB just for the fact that I loved this mod on other sites.
If I knew there was no 3.62 support as of yet, I would have waited to buy it!

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=118146

That's the one i'm still using with the lightbox hack. I have not had any troubles with version 3.6

Yeah but I have problems with this!

any news yet, im getting very antsy

WHERE IS A RELEASE FOR 3.6 and VBGarage?

last post here was before halloween, and now its past valentines day, still nothing available??

COME ON FOLKS. Someone show us some love!

yeah need update mines not working with 3.6.4

How about an update for Version 3.6.5

Seems this has died?

No update for 3.6.x?

Its been dead for over a year :|

Pity, as it was a brilliant mod.

Come on guys...Someone help us...
Or give us a link where vbGarage with lightbox is installed...

So this mod does not work with the latest version of vBulletin?

it works just fine for me on the latest release

can someone share a download link please.

If these mods are dead then how come there still allowed to be in the premium mods section, same gos for the plaza, perhaps its still to have a shake up?

Come On Folks!

VBPicGallery can be converted to a VBGarage style addon

if im not mistaken the author of VBPicGallery is either one of the authors of VBGarage or somthing like that

im atchually working on the conversion on my site so you cant tell its athually VBPicGallery

www.forumwrx.com

Or right to my almost Garage

http://www.forumwrx.com/Forum/vbpicg...hp?do=view&g=3

I figured that doing it this way i will have support for all the new versions of VBulliten that come in the future as VBPicGallery is still fully supported.

Edit**

I checked the site and its Noppid himself releasing VBPicGallery

yeah but he's charging $25.00 per script. Dang it, I need a free version, lol. Plus he hasn't answered my replies.

someone fix it :/

I'm using this:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=118146

on vB 3.6.5

No issues known, works just fine.

See it at www.skodaforum.nl

i'm afraid this belongs in the modification graveyard...

im in the process of redoing vbgarage with more features (more like the phpbb version) so be patient guys, its gonna be a couple more days before its near a beta release.. but it already has multicar, better intergration with the user cp. i cannot honestly see how anyone would use vbgarage in its current form.. i mean its so basic its not even funny.

awesome i miss the phpbb garage :)

as far as the frontend (user stuff) multi car is done, modifications are pretty much done, just have comments, image support (linked and db stored), timeslips, dyno pulls and garage listing to finish, as well as vBify the templates (they're just basic html right now)
the backend (admin stuff) still has to be done, for garage options and modification categories.

but it looks stellar right now :D

I really want to get vBGarage working on my forum again.

It hasn't worked since I upgraded the forum from 3.0.8 to 3.5.2. I tried the 3.5.x upgrade found here but when I delete the vbg tables from my database it kill my forum and I have to load a backup.

oh, thats quite good news i'm reading here :)

curious what you will come up with!

Any more news?

been busy with some other stuff, but i havent stopped working on it, dont worry its coming =p also being my first vb product/mod theres alot im having to learn and find out about.. vb's official documention lacks A LOT..

User CP pages:
my garage (shows your vehicles in the garage)
add vehicle (add a vehicle if so allowed (admin settings allows you to set a limit of vehicles per user))
edit vehicle (edit vehicle)
modifications (shows modifications for the selected vehicle)
add modification (add modification to the selected vehicle)
edit modification (edit modification)

are all now fully phrased (en-US) and templates vBified.
the user cp navigation breadcrumb also is used to the fullest so you know where you are and what vehicle your editting.

starting on timeslips and dyno results now, then the main garage views,vehicle view are next on the list, then implementing images and then finally the admin cp side of things.

and for those that think im just making stuff up, heres some teasers of the user cp portion
