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!

code looks close enough for me

[one.eg6]

Maybe someone can help me track down where I messed up...

My users keep getting this error:

"You have not completed the required field "Engine type and displacement."

When trying to save their vehicle information. Well that field isn't even there. I'm not sure if another mod interfered with this or not.

Help please.

Thanks,
Sean

Great hack! It is now in use at http://www.cincystreetscene.com

I do have one small problem though, maybe you can point me in the right direction. The vehicle profile page is showing up with a lot of "tr>" in a line above the vehicle info. I'm sure its just something I pasted in wrong, but I'm not sure what file to look at. Some advice would be great.

Thanks again,
-Charlie

Hi folks. Sorry I've been away for so long but I've been really busy lately & don't have much time to even get online anymore. I have to leave again for work in few minutes but I'll try to answer a couple of questions before I go.

As far as porting this hack over to vb3.5.0 goes, I haven't even upgraded my own site yet so I can't really give a specific date. It could be a month, it could be a year. I don't know.

If any of you coders wanna port this hack over yourself you have my permission.. However, if you use any of my code or design I would appreciate it if you'd leave my name & link (along with yours) at the bottom of the timeslips main page where it says "vB Timeslip Database v2.X by EvilLS1". You can add your name next to it ofcoarse. I've put alot of time & work into this hack and the links are helpful to me because they improve my site's page rank. So please show a little consideration there. Thanks.

one.eg6,
Go to your admincp, and look under custom profile fields. Find that field and set it so that its not a required field.

charlie css,
That does sound like the html is broken or pasted wrong in one of the templates. Re-pasting the code into these templates should fix it: getvehicleinfo, timeslips_customfields, modifytimeslip.

Hey there stranger!

No need to explain that you have a life beyond the internet :-) I for one, appreciate your hard work and also appreciate you posting up your contributions!

If you hack it to 3.5 so be it... if not, so be it as well and perhaps someone else will give it a try.

Cheers,
Tim

That was it Evil! It was timeslips_customfields. I spotted that I had missed the first < as soon as I opened the template.

Thanks for the quick response, and thanks again for the great hack!

It was on VB.com that I heard that. Try contacting jelsoft to get a 100% confirmation.

[bobs409]

Would love to add this to my forum but just upgraded to 3.5 so guess I'm out of luck for now.

Sure hope this becomes available for the new version of VB. :squareeyed:

[BlueBulletRL]

I'm willing to give this a shot since I wanna upgrade my car club website and this is one thing everyone uses. I'll let everyone know how it turns out.
