tenaki Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 An excellent idea, although I do use cars within garage I use it for other things as well that are related. I could certainly use a more universal system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketFoot Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) Michael, any chance of getting the Garage listed in the View New Content screen in IPB 3.2? Right now, you can select new content to be shown from the forums, members, blog, gallery and even tutorials...but not garage.

Saved your suggestion, I may not be able to get it in the next bug fixing updated however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceOfAbyss Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 For the next release, I'd wish it could integrate better with the rest of the forum. There are little areas that need re-work I think. One easy example I can give you is comments; there is no need for a separate Vehicle comment page. An editor just below the already made comments would be sufficient (like the quick post in forum). Also (harder to implement I guess) within your vehicle(s), the links Main, Images, Modifications could become ajax-ed tabs like in Profile.

Management Michael Posted April 26, 2012 Management Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 I'm working on the next release now, will see what I can include. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceOfAbyss Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I was doing some tidy in the uploads folder... Inevitably, soon it was the turn of garage_images folder... :P First of all, I opened the appropriate table and there were 1316 records of images (vehicle and modification ones). So, if everything had been OK, there should have been 1316 * 2 + 1 (index.html) files in the folder... Unfortunately, there were 3000+ :P I didn't have a way to check which of the image files were actually stored in the DB, and which were left overs from deleted vehicles/members. 1. So at first, I deleted ALL thumbnails. 2. Then, in ACP I rebuilt all thumbnails to see how many thumbnails were created (there were created 1314). 3. After the rebuild, I manually deleted through FTP all files which didn't have a thumbnail (that weren't a pair: image + thumb). 4. So, indeed I was left with 1314 * 2 + 1 files in the FTP. 5. Next, I had to discover which 2 (1316 records - 1314 files) of the records in the table were orphaned. 6. In MS Excel, I pasted all image_url fields of those records. 7. Then, I completed in Excel the rest of the image paths (adding <img src="http://www.mydomain.tld/forum/uploads/garage_images/[image_url]" alt="alt" /> 8. I pasted in an html file the 1316 img tags. 9. I uploaded the tmp html file and opened it in a browser. 10. The browser crashed after opening about 400+ images. 11. I split the img tags in 4 tmp html files each having about 300+ image tags. 12. I opened all html files one by one, waiting for them to load, to discover which 2 images were displayed as their alt. 13. I found them and erased those records from the table. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, add a task to delete orphaned records from the table, and also delete orphaned files from the garage_images folder. What I described above took me 2.5 hours to implement...

Management Michael Posted June 22, 2012 Management Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, add a task to delete orphaned records from the table, and also delete orphaned files from the garage_images folder. What I described above took me 2.5 hours to implement... Having done my fair share of tedious work, I definitely know how you feel. Although it may not be a task, I have saved the idea for a cleanup tool to be added to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceOfAbyss Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 By task, I actually didn't mean something that will necessarily execute automatically. Just a process in Tools section of Garage would be fine! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
