One more thing,  the URL for the thumbnails has a a double "/" 

http://www.bmw2002faq.com/uploads/garage_images//image_url-47701-1458359284_thumb.jpg

Is there a way to make it a single "/"?  It is not normally a problem, but when moving to Amazon S3, you get access denied as the images are stored as 

/garage_images/image_url-47701-1458359284_thumb.jpg

I see this also on the IPBs Nexus/Commerce app, i will be contacting them for this also.

IPB Support fixed this

The previous version of Garage used to list users vehicles in their profile box on the forum.  Is it possible to bring that back?

Thanks,

Steve K.

Can you let me know what was the problem so can see if I need to fix anything on my end?

A profile tab? Was recently added in the latest Collections version I believe.

Yep confirmed already and will be added in the next version. The next Collections update is being worked on now.

I've just updated the Collections app with a few more critical fixes and re-introduction of the topic view hook in each members post row.

Hi Mike - is the option to only return items with a photos uploaded available in the widget for collections?

I would like to enable the option for random items, but only where imaged are uploaded.

 

Thanks.

I do remember the request but it must of got lost somewhere. I can put together some edits now so you don't have to wait until the next version?

Sorry I should of asked if this was for the items widget or images widget? The later is possible now, the former will probably require a new version as it's a bit more complicated to include.

Latest Vehicles - so probably the latest items.

I'm sorry but I'd need a more time to put together a change for that particular widget in the next version. The latest images widget is still an edit I can put together.

Hi Mike,

Yes that's absolutely fine I don't use the latest images as Like the ability for users to click the vehicle to enter the respective garage

I'll prioritize this bug so it's definitely included next version.

Great. Cheers Mike. 

Can anything be done regarding the quality of the images on that widget?

The quality of the images on an iPhone look very poor v's the quality of when you click the full size image.

What do you currently have set for your "Standard thumbnail dimensions" Collections setting? It looks like it might be a bit too low and reducing the image quality for the thumbnail quite a bit.

Standard = 180 x 120

Large = 240 x 160

What dimensions would you recommend?

This one controls the thumbnail size, Try doubling it and then uploading the images again.

[VR6Pete]

upload again?

172
Total Vehicles

141
Submitters

386
Total Images

Not really going to be able to do that to be honest

Try with 1 image to confirm is working, worse case I can rebuild the rest.

[VR6Pete]

I have doubled the thumbnail size vales. But image quality still visually looks poor.

Comparing the above to my original image - the image size just appears bigger but the quality seems poor.

What am I am after is a good quality thumbnail of the original of the original.

If you compare that to the thumbnails up. Gallery generates:

The quality is far superior - but looking at the HTML it looks like it has "trimmed / resized" the image on the fly to create a thumbnail, and not a separate image.

The image source of the above screenshot is actually:

Would I be able to get admin cp login details? It might be easier just to modify the code a bit to display the original image if your really after quality.
