Timeslip Database
 

Is the Timeslip database going to be done for 3.5 or is someone going to have to do something similar?

hell, i'd like to know this as well.

Ya, I tried, but seeing as how my PHP skillz really suck, I failed pretty miserably.

I think that whoever does it will have quite a few fans

I would like to have this too. This gets my vote!

I would like to get this going - but have an option for a "view only" mode. Where I might select one of my moderating team to be the Timeslip Admin and he enters and updates all the info and categories.

So he can set up categories, sub categories, timeslip info... it would also show the rules (which he would write out) and the last time the data was updated.

I just dont want people to put false info in and this guy is very particular and wants to keep clean records (as do I).

Then maybe even have those users on this show up some info in their post bit .. like #1 in this class or #4 in that class.

For the most part we are concerned with the top 10 in each class. We dont use it is a database but as a neat tool to see who has the best so far and maybe what to expect.

That'd be cool man, but at the same time having to enter things manually isn't something that's too convenient - if you wanted to do it all manually, that's pretty simple stuff to do with the use of a table....... something like I've done for the Event Listings page on my site (which is all manually done in order to have full control over what's added) - all you'd have to do is get your members to give you the info.... nothing too fancy.


Keeping in mind that I'm fairly clueless on how to build this, I guess that what I'm saying is, if adding that option in is a pain in the butt, why make things more complicated than it needs to be?

Well members would submit their info and timeslip to prove it (and maybe a link to a video).... but there would be a moderator team just for that function and they have to approve each submission. What I want is someone who can easily fall into a ?class? to look and see the 10 fastest cars on the board that are like his. The board is focused on one car, two motor combinations, and broke up in classes like bone stock, bolt ons, stock cubic inch, big n/a, power-adder?.

sorry (I am Jon_We4 aswell, I must have a differnt login on my laptop ;) )

Ah. Ok. I see what you're saying now. I'm liking the idea of that moderator setup now.

My main purpose for doing it that way is to keep down on bogus entrants. Having a skilled and experianced moderator or two ya know.

I think I can pull off creating something like that - however I can not say that it would be something that would be very quick for me to do myself.

Any news on a possible port for this?
