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.

Please let me copy what EvilLS1 posted in the 3.0 hack

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.
here's the link: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ight=timeslips


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

end of presentation, hope I don't miss anything.

Had a hard time uninstalling this from 3.6.8 as it didn't work right. Great mod, too bad it just doesn't work - and even worse the uninstall didn't work either. Followed edits from scattered error messages throughout this mod but still didn't get it (both for install and uninstall), the mod was trying to uninstall fields that didn't even get created... etc. At any rate, this file works for uninstalling from this version. Just import this and overwrite what you have now, then uninstall the product and revert and file edits you made by hand. You also have to manually delete the custom profile from your ACP.

PS - this mod getting ported correctly to 3.6.8 would be a good thing.

Woohoo....I'm updated! Thanks Optima.

I tried searching this thread, but came up empty handed. Let's say I want to add an additional profile field for the Timeslips. How can that be done? (ie. Instead of having a generic "Ride" field, I'd like to have a dropdown list that users can choose autos from (My website is geared towards about 9 distinct vehicles, so I'd only like those vehicles to be choices.)

I tried editing the install file on a test board and it just goofed up miserably. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Well, this hack was originally created by EvilLS1...and it works perfect on my Camaro/Firebird site running on 3.6.8 patch level 2. Maybe the timeslips hack just doesn't like Fords?



Ok, I'll stop kidding around. The information in 0ptima's post above should get you squared away.

I actually just created a new dropdown field with a list of vehicles.

I'm putting the finishing touches on a detailed "How To add additional custom fields to the Timeslip Database". If there's interest, I'll gladly post it here.

No I didn't see that, I just downloaded the 3.6 zip from this thread and noticed some of the profiles fields didn't appear as they should so I tried uninstalling it. A new thread would be GREAT, with clear instructions I'm sure it would help alot of people. In the meantime I just added a custom field in user's profile and display that in the postbit.

I finished the instructions on how to add additional fields to the Timeslip Database. They are somewhat lengthy, not sure if I should post them in this thread?

For now, post it in this thread and PM the author so he can link to the post from the hack's header info (top of the page).
