Description:

The MyShowcase System allows an Admin to create one or more showcases, typically known as a 'garage' when talking about vehicles. However, this system is so advanced this single plugin and ACP module can handle unlimited showcases of varying content and design. Create showcases for your users to display vehicles, homes, computers, artwork, pets, software, and nearly anything else you can think of.

This is a great plugin! Thanks Paveman!

Now, just waiting for the approval so I can try out the upgrade!

[Bit 'n Bang]

Looks nice. I might use it for my new site, but I don't like how it looks. Not very pleasing to the eye.

Its fully template driven, so make it look how you want

Sorry folks, I had to update the package on the mods site again. RocketFoot keeps doing things I had not thought of. He's not doing anything wrong, I just had not considered the things he thought of.

Thanks to RocketFoot for breaking it and letting me debug on his site!

Version 2.0.4 is awaiting activation. Please keep checking the link in the first post for when its available!

If it is template driven then this will save me loads of time creating custom template pages for my designs. I'll rework the display and move the images around. This is exactly what I need. Thanks so much. Rep+

It's nice to see such a neat system being released.

Yup, it creates a new set of templates"MyShowcase Templates" in the ACP as a default set, so they are available for all template sets. There are also two new templates in the Portal group

Just edit them to suit your needs and the default will stay which will allow you to revert and use diff, etc.

I think almost the entire content is template or language file driven

It's nice to see such a neat system being released.

Thanks, I think I've worked out 99.9% of the issues after working with RocketFoot. Its got a lot of potential for tons of different uses. My current one is for trucks (4x4's) but I am going to be building one for watercraft, one for ATVs, and likely one more, probably RV/trailers/etc

awesome work bro. keep it up 1000+ rep.

Thanks

and please do not mind the "Garage" word in the images. These are from before I converted from Garage System to MyShowcase System
