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

Templates to edit: (2)- USERCP_SHELL, navbar
Templates to add: (5)- timeslips, timeslipsbit, getvehicleinfo, timeslips_customfields, modifytimeslip
Phrases to add: (6) *see instructions


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!

You know what? I think that's the exact same mistake I made when I installed the first version on my old board. I guess it's true what they say about teaching an old dog new tricks.

Evil- You really are a credit to programmers everywhere, especially the way you offer so much assistance. Most people would be sick of it, I'm sure. Thank you again for your patience and your help.

Take care,
~Chris

P.S. It's now available if you want to link to it...

I have been following this hack off and on for a while and am really impressed with the degree of support EvilLS1 has shown for this hack! Everytime I come back, Evil is here helping! Great job :up:

Now if we can only find a way to allow users or Admins/Mods to add multiple car listings or non-members info (maybe something in addition to using the member list??) with a few mods, we could end up with a vBgarage type hack.

[EvilLS1]

Thanks for the kind words guys, and glad to hear its working for you now Chris.

Added your link btw.

[gibgib]

Thanks for your responses.

I am pleading my case here now I know the name of the hack I need!

I dont know if I missed a step or something is just not right.. but:

The hack is working perfectly, except I want it to show the custom profile fields(ride, mods...) when you click on a member under the "additional information". It did it on one of the installs I did, but this time no luck.

In my admin CP I have them set as able to be seen in the member list. My timeslip profile fields are the standard 50-*.

I can call $post[field50] and it will show the users 'ride', but for some reason inside my memberinfo_customfields template it wants $profilefield[value].


Anyone?

[EvilLS1]

SNovotn2,
In the earlier versions the vehicle info was displayed in the user's regular profile (there was no vehicle profile).. With version 1.3 or later all vehicle details are displayed separately. But if you want to show the vehicle details in the user's regular profile (aswell as the vehicle profile) you can do it like this:

In member.php find:

// *********************
// CUSTOM PROFILE FIELDS
$profilefields = $DB_site->query("
	SELECT profilefieldid, required, title, type, data, def, height
	FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield
	WHERE profilefieldid NOT IN (50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65) AND form = 0 " . iif(!can_moderate(), "
		AND hidden = 0") . "
	ORDER BY displayorder
");

Replace it with:

// *********************
// CUSTOM PROFILE FIELDS
$profilefields = $DB_site->query("
	SELECT profilefieldid, required, title, type, data, def, height
	FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield
	WHERE form = 0 " . iif(!can_moderate(), "
		AND hidden = 0") . "
	ORDER BY displayorder
");

In those files, find all instances of this (there will be several):

(50,51,52,53,54,55,56,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65)

And replace it with this:

(80,81,82,83,84,85,86,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95)

Or if I'm misunderstanding you and you're saying that you still have fields 50-65, then you'll need to do just the opposite. Also, make sure you have the correct field #s in timeslips.php.

Champion Effort!

Thanks mate, all fixed!

Just installed.. Killer!!

How hard would it for someone to modify it for users to have multiple car listings :speechless:

Adding multiple cars to the vehicle profile page is easy.. But it would only be possible to sort by one car on the timeslips page.

To add a field for another car just go to your admincp, add a new custom profile field for the extra vehicle, make a note of the field ID, then in member.php, includes/functions_user.php, and profile.php find all instances of this:

(50,51,52,53,54,55,56,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65)

and add the field ID for your extra vehicle field to it.

So we can add a second vehicle to the profile, but can not add a second timeslip?
