Adding an additional custom field to Timeslips.


************NOTES************

This is an update of EvilLS1's instructions located HERE. His instructions were for vB Timeslip Database v2.1 (for the 3.0.X version of VBulletin). The instructions below update his very helpful post for use with the newest version of the vB Timeslip Database (v1.2) utilizing 3.68 PL2.

Adding an additional custom field to the Timeslips Database is a bit involved and due to the fact the original modification involves file edits, this addition does as well.

In the example used below, we are adding a single selection dropdown menu to add a field "Vehicle Color". Obviously, you can add any field you want, but make sure to change the specific answers and field names from the example below to suit your needs.

Also, (when reading the instructions below) please note that wherever you see "XX" on a file edit, you should be entering the fieldID # of the new custom profile field you created in place of "XX".

Files to Edit (3): member.php, timeslips.php, includes/functions_user.php
Templates to Edit (2): Timeslips, timeslipbit
Products to Edit (2): Update timeslips data, vehicledetails

As always, please backup your database and keep original copies of all modified files.

Open includes/functions_user.php

Find this line:

WHERE profilefieldid NOT IN (50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65) AND editable IN (1,2)

Open timeslips.php

Find this line:

$natasp='N/A';

Below it add this:

$red = 'Red';
$blue = 'Blue';
$green = 'Green';

Also in timeslips.php, find:

    else if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'na') 
   {
        $condition.=" AND userfield.field65='" . addslashes($natasp) . "' AND userfield.field55>'".intval($number)."'";
        $cond.=" WHERE userfield.field65='" . addslashes($natasp) . "' AND userfield.field55>'".intval($number)."'";
        $orderby="userfield.field55";
        $direction=ASC;
        $bracket13="<b>[</b>";
        $bracket14="<b>]</b>";
   }

add BELOW (again, replacing XX with your custom field name and changing the blue colored text to match your profile field choices):

     else if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'red') 
   {
        $condition.=" AND userfield.fieldXX='$red' AND userfield.field55>'".intval($number)."'";
        $cond.=" WHERE userfield.field55!=''";
        $orderby="userfield.field55";
        $direction=ASC;
        $bracket133="<b>[</b>";
        $bracket143="<b>]</b>";
   }
	      else if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'blue') 
   {
        $condition.=" AND userfield.fieldXX='$blue' AND userfield.field55>'".intval($number)."'";
        $cond.=" WHERE userfield.field55!=''";
        $orderby="userfield.field55";
        $direction=ASC;
        $bracket133="<b>[</b>";
        $bracket143="<b>]</b>";
   }
	 	      else if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'green') 
   {
        $condition.=" AND userfield.fieldXX='$green' AND userfield.field55>'".intval($number)."'";
        $cond.=" WHERE userfield.field55!=''";
        $orderby="userfield.field55";
        $direction=ASC;
        $bracket133="<b>[</b>";
        $bracket143="<b>]</b>";
   }

Still in timeslips.php, find this line:

$spacer=" - ";

and add the following below:

$color = "---";

also find this line:

$pos++;

and add this below it (again, replacing XX with your custom field name):

$color = $userinfo[fieldXX];
