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!

Thanks man,

As long as I am sure I know what I'm doing. I like that!

Since your website name is "Muscle Mustangs" I take it that you have read the well known publication of the same name? (with "AND FAST FORDS" tacked onto the end of course!) Assuming you have, in the last 12 months I have had 4 websites I have coded in full end up in Jeff Bauer's column.
I am an administrator for the largest and oldest mustang website known to the Ford Fanatics in the audience. Do I qualify as worthy?

Shoot me an e-mail with the info I need, we'll see what we can do to help you.

LOL...yeah I know that magazine, but unfortunetly I didn't name the site. The site was orriginaly just a plain black background with bright colored text links, someone came to me from stangnet and I went in and made the design and set up VB. Just wondering what did you mean when you said: "I have had 4 websites I have coded in full end up in jeff bauer's column." Is that a good thing or bad LOL. We have an "-" in ours so its not exactly the same. I'm sure your the best when it comes to coding and stuff, I mean you do have a nice layout on your site.

Check your PMs.

I screwed up Ricky's forum. It's all gone.

If I can help you with anything else Ricky, let me know. It turned out great. DeWayne writes good hacks.

[Rick Sample]

Thanks Greg you did a wonderfull job! Love the new feature you added to Vbgarage also! :banana: :banana: :banana:

[SVTOA]

At least someone's happy.

Like I said Ricky, if you need help with anything else, let me know...

NOTICE! Just incase you did not get Dewayne's e-mail- If you run Vb 3.0.1, you will have problems when manually editing user profiles (the e-mail mentions the timeslip fields, but you will not be able to reset passwords and other user functions). The fix in the e-mail says to download the latest version on the hack and re-apply the SECOND edit to admincp/user.php

After looking at the code, just do this:
In your EDITED version of admincp/user.php

Find:

if ($_POST['do'] == 'update')
{
	globalize($_POST, array(
		'password',
		'user',
		'membergroup',
		'modifyavatar',
		'birthday',
		'signature',
		'modifyprofilepic',
		'joindate',
		'lastvisit',
		'lastactivity',
		'lastpost',
		'options',
		'referrer',
		'tdban',
		'threaddisplaymode' => INT
	));

Replace with:

if ($_POST['do'] == 'update')
{
	globalize($_POST, array(
		'password',
		'user',
		'membergroup',
		'modifyavatar',
		'birthday',
		'signature',
		'modifyprofilepic',
		'joindate',
		'lastvisit',
		'lastactivity',
		'lastpost',
		'options',
		'referrer',
		'tdban',
		'threaddisplaymode' => INT,
		'profile'
	));

That's all. Now you will again be able to edit user profiles from your admin cpanel.

Thanks for the update DeWayne. I noticed these problems but figured I messed up the file when I edited it and didn't even think to ask about it. DOH!!
Was very relieved when I got your update e-mail.

[0ptima]

I updated from version 1 to version 2 without a problem! Thanks EvilLS1

[EvilLS1]

Glad to hear the upgrade went smoothly Optima.

Greg,
Thanks for posting the update.

[SVTOA]

No problem DeWayne. Some people don't click the INSTALL button or they don't get the e-mails because of spam filters and such.
