Will there be a modx file with the installation for those of us that want to do the existing file changes to the likes of common.php etc and the style edits manually.

But of course

Excellent

I'll wait for the Beta to end before I impliment.

I'm upgrading the BB from 2 -> 3 this weekend
I'm sure they can live without the garage for a few weeks.

Thanks bud

My people can't live without it, that's why I haven't migrated to phpbb3 yet...
After garage completion I will be 90% ready to migrate...

I didn't have it on my phpBB2 forums and upgraded to phpBB3 at the release of RC1 so I don't have to worry about converting. What I would like to know though is what happens once it is installed and phpBB3 comes out with an update? Will reinstall of the garage work to get everything setup again without messing with the existing data? I assume that once phpBB3 is updated some (If not all) of the files that are required by garage will be over written so this could be a real problem. I'd sure hate to have to manually edit all of the files after that.

The garage integrates in a pretty seemless way, I would not expect any updates to phpBB3.0 to require any work to keep the Garage working. If a version does require changes then I will support it ASAP and a new version will be produced. However you would not need to reinstall just make whatever changes are needed to keep it working.

Remeber all the data sits in its own tables and 99% of files are 100% garage related. So only places we integrate are profile, topics & header, and even there the integration is neatly done.

The beta should have been ready today

but when the converter ran on my live site it went nuts so working to fix that ASAP.

will it possible to manually upgrade from beta 2 to this new beta?

No, you will need to delete all tables and files and start from scratch. Plus some new permissions and stuff are added so you will need to remove all traces of what was added with B2.

Ah you're such a tease with this release

Trust me I am gutted that when converting my site I had an issue. I was ready to release it until that happened. I am working on figuring out the cause.

OK, my baord is now converted

http://forums.phpbbgarage.com/garage.php

However I have a tiny bit of work now to do, seems my development environment was not showing me E_NOTICE errors which is very important so I just need a check check with that setting turned back on before I dump the beta on you guys. So plan is Wednesday and beta will include the converter now

Yeees

Been waiting for a long time now, never tried this out before so converter isn't nessesary for me

There is one think i have been thinking of though, my server is maximum 1GB, and is it possible to set a max imagesize? And a max images per user too? Or can i even upload the pictures on another server?

I'm working on a new style for my forum, will it be possible to use phpBB Garage with it, after some modifications?
Keep up the good work

In Version 1.0.5 (latest stable for phpbb2) you could define maximum image size in KB/pixels plus how many images a user can upload, also use remote images...
Here is a screenshot:

So you should guess that Garage 2.0 will also have this features, and even more...
