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.

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

This hack is free (why not?) but donation are welcome, my paypal is bloodynightcrawler@gmail.com . Thank you.

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

I am close to needing this, but have not completely commited to racing as of yet. I got permission through a general post by the original author to recode this, however, I only ported the one page that displayed exiting data to 3.5.x, timeslips.php. Many of you out there have a copy of this. However, it does not give any functionality to the database.

I don't want to step on anyones toes here, I dunno where this rendition of the code is going or where it is for now. The original code is a bear and I dunno if I wanna take that on. I dunno what to do yet. The more I type, the more I realize I'm gonna need this though.

Great news. I look forward to hearing your progress. I'm going to be putting up a drag racing topic soon. This would be sweet. Especially when I can get quality code I didn't have to write!

[ddolliver]

We need the ability to:

1. Have more that one vehicle per registered user...or someone in a special user group.
2. Be able to easily change the "canned" field headers.
3. Be able to easly change the vehicle type dropdown choices.
4. Have the timeslip enforcement really work.

I am sure that others have additional inputs....thanks for listening to my whining.

This is what I need....

[0ptima]

Id be willing to chip in some $$ to have this hack coded as a plugin by someone who would be able to support it. It would also need to be able to accept more than 1 entry per user.

[Zachariah]

Ok.
- Lets get this going on new installs.
- Allow upgrades from older live sites.
- Compile a list and fix bugs if any.
- Compile a list of requests.

Should there be a new thread for Pre-Dev / Beta ect for this mod ?

I am working on getting something moving and could use a little legwork and brain power If there are any coders out there that want to team up to make a sweet mod, I am cool with that also.

Just tossing around some thoughts and ideas ..

Yes, lets start a new thread for this. I love all the default features of this script, but would love to have support for muliple entries from the same user. Maybe this option should be voted on to see how many people see a need for multiple entries per user?

If the script is to have multiple entries, I think they should be stored in a separate table as this would allow an unlimited amount of entries per member.

[ddolliver]

Please link to the new thread for all following this saga to see.

Thanks,

...Dwight...

[bouncer18]

agree'd a new thread would be alot better...

I think this is a good foundation to start with.. just add to it and change what needs changing rather then re-writing it is what needs ot be done..
