Garage Feature!

Post by Vanny » 21 Jun 2007

You asked for;

A place to display your car pictures, with the facility to self manage

We provided;

The Garage!
Through the garage you can add your own cars (currently upto a total of 5) write a few details about the car and upload pictures all by your self. This is a simple PHPBB Forum plugin which can be added to any phpbb website and easily tailored to provide an easy to use members gallery for your site!

Enjoy (and respond with questions/demands here!)

Couple of things, how do you edit your listing once it's posted?

How come you cant go back in year fursther than 1980?

The image resolution required is low. How the hell do I reduce the resolution to make my pictures fit???

1) i'm not sure but it is possible
2) 1980 is the default, tell mw how far back you want it, though it wont have the make model so you will have to submit these for scritineering
3) there is no image RESOLUTION restriction, only dimensions (1024x768) and maximum file size (2000 kbytes)

OK, so I am be dense.
Cant work out how to use the plug in to re-size my piccies, I think it's the doftware rather than something I'm doing wrong....:roll:

Would it be possible to up the image dimension to something like 1300x1000??
