This must be the worst and stupidest way I've ever seen this implemented into a game, you have pretty much just posted the image into a forum topic and just link to the topic id.

Why don't you just add a column to the cars table like CA_image and fetch it along with all the other data in garage, so simple to do. you could add a new method if you wanted a car info page but if not you could just put the images on the default garage view.

yes but the other way is even more simple it takes 1 column and an img tag on your garage page. Posting each one of them topics up takes alot longer doing it the real way would take around 5 mins and would look a lot more appealing.

 

ALTER TABLE `cars` ADD `CA_pic` VARCHAR(200) NOT NULL AFTER `CA_name`;

in garage.tpl.php find on line 15

<th>name</th>

add before

<th>Image</th>

then find on line 34

<td>{name}</td>

add before

<td><img src="{image}" alt="{name}" width="75" height="75"/></td>

in garage.inc.php find on line 27

"name" => $car->CA_name, 

add before 

"image" => $car->CA_pic, 

after update your images of your cars

just a basic way of doing it. would still be more advanced ways but this just shows what can be done in short time.

 

This is what the result would be.

Quick and simple @urbanmafia for beginner. I like it.

You could just forgo the need to add another entry into the DB table and just store your images in a folder e.g: cars/ with unique names that correlate to something already in the DB e.g CA_id ( presuming here ) then link the image as cars/{ID}.jpg

yes this also works if you don't want to use another entry

The easiest way is to do something like 

<img src=“modules/installed/theft/images/{id}.png” />

Ahh just saw djkanna’s post 😛

Great attempt and interesting approach to things.

However, I strongly recommend that you use the framework readily available to make any additions like this; not only is it "the proper way" (debate in a different topic if you wish), but it usually eases future maintenance

Both directly to @m1ll1k3n and in general to anyone using a framework - it it's there and it's supposed to be; use it!
