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!


If you find this script useful please click install.

Nice work. I accually customized it for my Sportbike website. Had to change a few things in the database and code but otherwise the setup is the same.. Mostly the detail information needed to be suited for sportbikes but after i found out where your installed put the entries it was pretty simple. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks. Nice to see that its useful for the two wheeled bunch aswell.

I guess I should mention (for everyone else who hasn't noticed) that all of the fields can be easily edited or customized in the admincp under custom profile fields once the hack is installed.

I've installed this for someone but there are small bugs in timeslips.php file

You need to rename tables name in your query coz if there is a prefix, the table's name will not be correct

Replace

PHP Code:

// Get total number of users
$userscount=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS users
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user, " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield 
$cond 
AND user.userid = userfield.userid"); 


with

PHP Code:

// Get total number of users
$userscount=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS users
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user, " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield AS userfield
$cond 
AND user.userid = userfield.userid"); 


And

PHP Code:

// Get users
$users=$DB_site->query("SELECT *
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user, " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield
WHERE user.userid = userfield.userid
$condition 
ORDER BY $orderby $direction
LIMIT $pos,$perpage"); 


with :

PHP Code:

// Get users
$users=$DB_site->query("SELECT *
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user, " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield AS userfield
WHERE user.userid = userfield.userid
$condition 
ORDER BY $orderby $direction
LIMIT $pos,$perpage"); 


Now corrected and it works fine

[EvilLS1]

Good catch VBDev. Thanks. I'll change that in the next update. That didn't even cross my mind. I never paid much attention to the table prefix stuff b/c I don't use them.

[SVTBlackLight01]

I searched the thread, but didn't see this question. How hard would it be to display the user's rank by ET in the postbit?

That would be really easy. Take a look at this post:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....4&postcount=76

That shows the user's ET club in the postbit, but it would be really simple to change it so that it displays a rank image based on the ET. All you would need to do is change what the variable displays to an image instead of showing the club. For example:

If the member has a 10 second car,

$poop = "<img src=\"rankimage1.jpg\">";

else if the member has an 11 second car show:

$poop = "<img src=\"rankimage2.jpg\">";

etc, etc.

Has anyone installed this with 3.0.1 yet? Any issues?

[SVTBlackLight01]

Thanks for pointing out that post. That gives me a few ideas I might try. What I was thinking of though was having something like this in the postbit.

using their placement on the the timeslips list sorted by ET.

(I'm liking the rank image thing though )

Yes, I've installed it on 3.0.1 with no problems.

SVT,
That should be fairly easy to do also. If you can't get it I'll look into it after I finish upgrading my site.

[SVTBlackLight01]

You finally decided to take the plunge huh? I can't wait to check it out.

I may be able to figure the rank issue out. I just need to spend a little more time digging through the code. Thanks!
