vB Timeslip Database - for Automotive websites

Yes, finally I can release it here the converted version off Timeslips database for vbulletin 3.5.x. I made it as a product, try to change the file edits into plugin as best as I could but you still need to edit 2 files (optional). I can't think of an easy way to remove that but if anyone can, please pop in.

I've made the timeslips.php page XHTML valid. Of course the look has not been changed. Also made it fully phrased.

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

Demo:

http://www.ls6.com.au/forum/timeslips.php?

Installation overview:
Files to edit: (2)- member.php (1), functions_user.php (2), image.php(2)
Files to upload: (2)- timeslips.php, slipicon.gif
Templates to edit: (2)- USERCP_SHELL, navbar
Templates to add: 0
Phrases to add: 0

Why do I still have to edit files ?
The reasons for those editions are because you don't want users to see the timeslips profile fields in the memberlist/member profile/edit profile

and just that. So that means if you exclude those the hack will still work whatever



Installation instructions:

BACK UP EVERYTHING BEFORE INSTALLING ANY HACK

Firstly please read the file Instructions.txt file on how to install this hack.

the steps are: Import the product-timeslips.xml file. Do file and template editions. Upload files to correct folder. Then enjoy it !


I have tried all that I can by installing this hack on a fresh board and solved *almost* all the problem. But if you find any errors, please post it here (just do not duplicate things :P ).


Upgrading

I haven't had a chance to do the upgrade because I convert this for a fresh vb3.5 board. I've set up things that I think it's ready for the upgrade. I'm willing to test the upgrade on your board if anyone can give.

For the upgrade to work, you must use the latest version of timeslips which can be taken from here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=60945



Support

I'll try my best to give supports. But please understand due to my heavy busy I may miss your post. Please understand.


Screenshots?

The shots from its 3.0 version are fine.

Changes Logs

03/18/2006: version 1.1 Fully phrased the hack.
03/19/2006: fix the problem showing your current timeslip image when editing your timeslip. To upgrade simply re-import product-timeslips.xml.

03/19/2006: fixed a few bugs in this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....9&postcount=31 . Again to upgrade just reimport the product file.

03/20/2006: Hack version change to 1.1.3: Changed the field of field 52,53,55 to decimal (6,3). Added one more file editions into the instructions file to fix showing proper image. So bad to add another file edit but this is becaus there is no hook in image.php. this is how to do it:

PHP Code:

###### In image.php find:

if ($_REQUEST['type'] == 'profile') // do not modify this $_REQUEST


###### REPLACE IT WITH:

if ($_REQUEST['type'] == 'profile' or $_REQUEST['type'] == 'timeslip') // do not modify this $_REQUEST


###### FIND:

    else
    {
        $table = 'customavatar';
    }

###### ABOVE THIS ADD:

    else if ($_REQUEST['type'] == 'timeslip')
    {
        $data = 'timeslippicdata';
        $table = 'customfile';
    } 


Again to upgrade you need to import the product file again to overwrite. then do the above edit.

03/23/2006: Update: fix a JS error when submitting the new timeslip. (Thanks Sidewindr). Also the new product will attempt to remove your old vb3.0 options then add the new ones, this is for upgrading from timeslips for vb3.0 to vb3.5 . I didn't test that tho.

12/05/2006: Version 1.2 for vb3.6 released.

12/09/2006: minor fix for missing adding field50.

12/12/2006: fix the error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function build_hiddenprofilefield_cache() in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\folder\admincp\plugin.php(1468) : eval()'d code on line 6

Please click install if you use this hack for updates. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vborg_mis...hreadid=110717

i have replaced the file many times and nothing, ill try to do it via ur instructions but i need to crash rite now its 2:30 and im tired. but thanks for the advice anythign is worth a shot.

It was your mistake, you was absolutely using the old zip file which contain the old product xml file and old instructions which leads to the errors you got. I suggest you completely remove the hack and try the file Timeslip 3.6 v1.2.zip. Please be careful this time.

The reason for the mistake was the same reason I made the mistake and that is because the product-timeslips.xml was included with the zip when it should have. On top of that the SQL syntax is wrong which causes the "customfield" table to NOT be created. As a result when you try to uninstall the product from the product manager it runs into an error becuase it tries to drop a table which does not exist (customfield). Also "tdban" and "field50" were not added as well when I installed the products-timeslips.xml.

I have it all fixed now with a bit of modification to the old XML file.

Rigth on turbolaserAWD, that is awesome man, glad you got er runnin man........

[jwocky]

Any definitive word if the new vb3.6 version will work when trying to upgrade from the old vb3.5 version ?

[TurboLaserAWD]

Also just so you guys know you can also have the "Ride" coincide with a custom field.

A while back I created a custom field (field5 for me) that listed my members cars. The car would show up in the profile and would show up in the postbit. Since field50 was never added for me and "field50" is the field where you enter your car information, I simply left "field50" out and used my field5 which was already entered a long time ago.

Then I just went to the timeslips.php file. There are 2 instances of "ride" in that file. I just replaced the one that links to "field50" and replaced it with "field5." Then voila, people who already entered their car don't have to enter it again and it automatically shows up on the Timeslip.php page.

Sounds like your "field51" doesn't exist either. Go into your phpMyAdmin and click on the table "userfields". All of your fields should be listed. Check to see which fields you actually have. The old XML file has to match that exactly so if you are missing "field51" in your table in phpMyAdmin then you need to remove that line from the XML uninstall code. Then try it again.
