Yeah I've been putting it off for a while but I just can't stand not having the latest greatest thing. :)

Its up and running if ya wanna check it out. I still need to fine tune a few things but the hard part is done.

<font size="4">Top 5 ETs Add-on for vB Advanced Homepage</font>

This adds a module to your Vb Advanced Homepage that shows the top five ETs from your Timeslip Database (see screenshot).

It should work with most other portals aswell.

Ok all you car fans, who wants to help me install this hack? I tried for a few hours then I gave up. To difficult for my knowledge. If anyone can help, that would be awsome!

Thanks,

What steps have you done so far? What are you having trouble with?

I'm having trouble with it all. After I ran the install script, and edited all the files and stuff, it just got way to confusing. I'm very causiouse. Some of those lines and stuff you have to add are huge. When I paste them in and stuff, I don't know if I did it right or not because their not small little bits of info. Then it talked about creating templates and such and such. I was like: :confused: So I went back and undid all the changes. The only thing I didn't undo was the install script. I'm new to this stuff, the only hack I installed so far is Vbgarage. That wasn't to bad.

Do you think you could help me out any?

muscle-mustangs,
I'm at work right now and can't do anything from here, but I'll help you install it when I get home tonight (11:30pm EST). Or maybe SVTOA can give you a hand with it before then.

Dewayne

Sure, but I will need server access and cpanel access to be able to do this for you.

Thats no prob. However, I don't use any Cpanel. I use Pcanywhere to connect to the server. The other admin has the server at his house. Will this be a problem? if so, if you want I could just send you the files that need edited if you would like. Let me know, maybe we can do it sometime soon over AIM.

Thanks man for helping! Cheers!

I'm talking about your forum CPANEL. For root access all I need is the IP address and login and I can edit the PHP files from a program I have. It's easier if I can work with the edited and unedited files for testing and such- If I make a mistake I can restore the correct working file in seconds, know what I mean?

Cool, so you just want me to set you up an admin account? I have a few I set up for testing, if you want I could send you the user id and password. As long as your sure you know what your doing, thats cool. Um how long should it take, and would you be able to do it anytime soon?

Thanks man,

As long as I am sure I know what I'm doing. I like that! :D

Since your website name is "Muscle Mustangs" I take it that you have read the well known publication of the same name? (with "AND FAST FORDS" tacked onto the end of course!) Assuming you have, in the last 12 months I have had 4 websites I have coded in full end up in Jeff Bauer's column. ;)
I am an administrator for the largest and oldest mustang website known to the Ford Fanatics in the audience. Do I qualify as worthy? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2004/04/2.gif

Shoot me an e-mail with the info I need, we'll see what we can do to help you.

LOL...yeah I know that magazine, but unfortunetly I didn't name the site. The site was orriginaly just a plain black background with bright colored text links, someone came to me from stangnet and I went in and made the design and set up VB. Just wondering what did you mean when you said: "I have had 4 websites I have coded in full end up in jeff bauer's column." Is that a good thing or bad LOL. We have an "-" in ours so its not exactly the same. I'm sure your the best when it comes to coding and stuff, I mean you do have a nice layout on your site.

Check your PMs.

I screwed up Ricky's forum. It's all gone. :(

If I can help you with anything else Ricky, let me know. It turned out great. DeWayne writes good hacks. :)

Thanks Greg you did a wonderfull job! Love the new feature you added to Vbgarage also! :banana: :banana: :banana:

At least someone's happy. :D

Like I said Ricky, if you need help with anything else, let me know...

NOTICE! Just incase you did not get Dewayne's e-mail- If you run Vb 3.0.1, you will have problems when manually editing user profiles (the e-mail mentions the timeslip fields, but you will not be able to reset passwords and other user functions). The fix in the e-mail says to download the latest version on the hack and re-apply the SECOND edit to admincp/user.php

After looking at the code, just do this:
In your EDITED version of admincp/user.php

Find:

Replace with:

That's all. Now you will again be able to edit user profiles from your admin cpanel.

Thanks for the update DeWayne. I noticed these problems but figured I messed up the file when I edited it and didn't even think to ask about it. DOH!!
Was very relieved when I got your update e-mail. :)

I updated from version 1 to version 2 without a problem! Thanks EvilLS1

Glad to hear the upgrade went smoothly Optima.

Greg,
Thanks for posting the update. :)

No problem DeWayne. Some people don't click the INSTALL button or they don't get the e-mails because of spam filters and such.

Evil, whats the difference from the 1st version to the new version?

Version 1.0 is for VB2 and Version 2.0 is for VB3

hi.. i'm getting this error message, hope anybody can help me

Did you sucessfully run the TDinstaller.php script before doing the file edits?

hmm.

installed it on my board. uploaded the edited files before running the TDinstaller, but the installer ran just fine.

i'm able to add the profile info, but when i click on the timeslip link in the navbar, i'm not able to see the test data i entered. what's up?

dmark101,
I'm getting this error when viewing your timeslips.php page:
Unknown column 'userfield.field55' in 'where clause'

Do you have phpmyadmin? If so, can you verify that field55 exists in your userfield table?

i went and removed the added columns and the edited files, then re-ran the installer and re-uploaded the files.

i didn't remove the timeslips file nor did i remove the changed templates only because i didn't think that would matter.

i'm going to test the install right now.

Also, did you use the instructions & installer from the first post, or did you use one of the upgrade scripts?

i used the one from the first post.

still not coming up at all. odd. :(

Use the uninstaller to remove them.. Then run the installer again.

Did you verify (with phpmyadmin) that field55 exists in the userfield table? Also, do you use table prefixes?

yes, the field exists. already checked via phpmyadmin. what sort of prefix are you thinking of?

uninstaller? from the admin cp?

I just visited your site and it seems to be working now (for me).. Try re-entering your data in the vehicle profile and see if it shows on the timeslips page. Let me know.

ok. ran the uninstaller, ran the installer again, uploaded all the files, entered some data and still nothing.

argh!

It appears that your timeslipsbit template doesn't exists. Either that or you misspelled the name. Check the spelling of that template name. Its timeslipsbit, not timeslipbit.

BTW, I registered at your site and submitted timeslip data to test it, so you might wanna remove my info when we get it working for ya.

LOL. okay, let me check that. thanks for helping me out, even if i also own an SVT.

;)

ok, got it to work. :)

i've got another question. does this hack allow multiple entries?

Glad ya got it workin. :) You could add a field for a second ride, but the timeslips page can only sort one vehicle per user.

One problem I have --

I also have AdColumns by magnus installed --- WIth every other page, my adcolumn does fine, displaying a right hand column. But with my timeslips page the column actually goes below the timeslips -- How do I get it so the column is on the right?

Link to my timeslips page

Looks like some table tags are misaligned. I think Magnus has this hack installed and I know he has adcolumns, so you could ask him to let you have a copy if his timeslips template with the adcolumns added to it. Then just replace your template with his and it should be aligned right.
