vB Timeslip Database -for Automotive websites

This is the newest version of my Timeslip Database hack. If you don't have an automobile related website ya might as well stop reading here because this will probably be of no use to you.. But if you do, read on!

What does it do? This hack does a few things. First, it will add a separate "Vehicle Profile" page to your forum where your users can enter their type of vehicle, engine, tranny, tires, horsepower, best 60' time, 1/8 mile time, 1/4 mile time, upload thier timeslip and more. Once the data is entered the timeslips.php page will display the info sorted by the best times, highest trap speeds, highest horsepower #s, proof of ET, or ET brackets (user selectable).

You can also ban users from editing their Vehicle Profile. This comes in handy if you have some users who insist on entering false data into the Timeslip Database just to be funny. To use this feature, just click on the user's vehicle profile, then click "user options" and set "Can edit vehicle profile" to no. The user will still be able to edit his regular profile, but not his vehicle profile.


Features include:
*The ability to sort by:
-1/4 Mile ET
-1/4 Mile MPH
-1/8 Mile ET
-1/8 Mile MPH
-60' Time
-Horsepower
-Cars with proof of ET (actual timeslip)
-N/A cars only
-Username
-ET brackets
*Show the average ET, MPH, and HP for your site.
*Vehicle Profile (separate from user profile)
*Ability to ban users from editing their vehicle profile
*Users can upload their timeslip in the vehicle profile. (New!)
*Timeslip uploads can be disabled in the admincp. (New!)
*Admin can delete user's uploaded timeslip. (New!)
*Maximum width, height and filesize for timeslip uploads can be set in the admincp. (New!)
*Admin can set an ET for which a timeslip is required if user's ET is quicker. (New!)
*Installer

Support: (Updated: 8-6-05)
Due to my busy scedule and the release of vB 3.5 this version of the Timeslip Database will no longer be supported or developed. Please do not PM me with questions about when the next version will be released because I honestly have no idea.. But when I do start working on it I'll be sure to let you guys know.
Read more here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=666

Please search this thread before posting questions. Theres a good chance that your question has already been posted and answered.

Also, reading through the old thread for vB Timeslip Database v1.3 can probably answer some of your questions about adding new features or customizing.

The VB2 version of this hack is located here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=58076


Add-ons & How to's:
*Show the Top 5 ETs on your vB Advanced Homepage.
*Show the Top 5 ETs on your vB Advanced CMPS page. (by coolmody)
*Show the Top 5 ETs on your vBindex page. (by SVTBlackLight01)
*Change the default sort method
*Show the ET club that users belong to in the postbit.
*Show the 1/4 mile ET in the postbit only for users who have added it.
*Set permissions for editing the Vehicle Profile per usergroup.
*Require a link to the actual timeslip for all ETs that are 11.99 or quicker (for v2.0 only.. this comes standard in v2.1)


This hack has been confirmed to work with vB versions 3.0.0 - 3.0.8.

Many thanks to my beta testers: 350Chevy and Corsacrazy :up:


Version History:
v2.1: -Added the ability for users to upload timeslips in their vehicle profile. Added the ability for admins to require an actual timeslip for specified ETs. New Timeslip Database settings added to the admincp to control maximum upload sizes and turn the upload feature on & off. (current version)
(Check this post for more info about the new features.)
v2.0: -Ported hack over for VB3 and added a few new fields to the vehicle profile.
v1.3: -Added the ability to sort by ET brackets or "clubs". (ie. show 10 second cars only. 11 second cars only, 13 sec cars, etc).
v1.2: -Added a new action that will show the average ET, trap speed, and horsepower for your site.
v1.1: -Added the seperate vehicle profile page to input timeslip data. Added a few new fields to the vehicle profile page (race weight, track, D/A, mods, tranny type, etc). Added a "details" column to the Timeslip Database page which lets you view all vehicle profile fields when clicked.
v1.0: -Initial release. (VB2)


NOTE: If you've recently upgraded your forum software and you're having trouble with timeslips.php showing all users (regardless if they have an ET) or it not sorting correcty, Read This!

I'm not having a great week. lol.

Hmm.. I guess that function no longer exists in 3.0 Gold. Try this:

Open TDinstaller and find:

// ######################## CHECK ADMIN PERMISSIONS #######################
if (!can_administer('canadminusers'))
{
	print_cp_no_permission();
}

Delete it and run the installer again.

Okay, everything has been done, I believe, but when I click on the link in the navbar, I get this message:

Invalid SQL: SELECT COUNT(*) AS users
FROM user, userfield
WHERE userfield.field55>'0'
AND user.userid = userfield.userid
mysql error: Unknown column 'userfield.field55' in 'where clause'

You're getting that error b/c field55 no longer exists. You didn't remove the old fields from v1.3 when you upgraded to GOLD did ya?

If you did, you'll need to download version 2.0 and run the uninstaller, then start the new TDinstaller from v2.0 (not the upgrade script).

If you still can't get it to work you can email me at evills1ta@aol.com and I'll help you.

The script I attached above removes all of the database entries. The changes to the database most likely aren't the cause of the error. If you're getting an error its because one or more of the files you edited still have some code from the hack in them. Reupload the backup of all the files you edited.

If you can tell me exactly what error you're getting and from which file I can help you fix it.

PS: All of the profile fields can be removed in your admincp under custom profile fields.. The only other thing this script adds to your database is a column called tdban to your user table.

You can remove it with phpmyadmin by running this query:

ALTER TABLE user DROP tdban

Then make sure that you uploaded an unmodified copy of all the files you edited.

Thank you. Link added.

Has anyone installed this on vb3 gold yet? Just want to verify that none of the effected code has changed.

[Gt-358]

I installed it on TMCA after upgradeing to vb3 Gold, so yes it is running fine on vb3 gold

Evil, thank you again for such a great piece of software. This was very popular on my website prior to the release of Gold, and I'm sure it will be again. I screwed up somewhere, but it's installed now. I lost all the info from the users, but hey, they all know how to enter it again.

Thanks so much!

BTW, you can add us to your list, but you might want to give me a day or two to get some entries.

Take care,

[PKRWUD]

Okay, I guess not. People are entering info, but it doesn't show up on the page.
