vB Timeslip Database -for Automotive websites · **Released**: 10-20-2003

I doubt this will be used by many people since its designed specifically for automotive websites.. But it has been requested here several times, so here ya go.

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, horsepower, best 60' time, 1/8 mile time, 1/4 mile time, a link to their 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 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.

Demo: http://modernmusclecars.net/forums/timeslips.php

(Note: I just added this to my board a couple of days ago so there's only a few entries right now.. It does have pagination and will display 25 per page by default once more ETs are entered.)

Screenshot1: Vehcile Profile page
Screenshot2: Edit Vehcile Profile page

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)
-Username
-ET brackets (New!)
*Show the average ET, MPH, and HP for your site. (New!)
*Vehcile Profile (separate from user profile) (New!)
*Ability to ban users from editing their vehicle profile (New!)
*Installer

Installation is easy:
1. Upload TDinstaller.php to your admin directory & run the installer.
2. Follow the hack instructions to edit the 4 php files.
3. Edit two templates.
4. Add five new templates.
5. Upload timeslips.php to your forum directory and slipicon.gif to your image directory.

This has been tested on 2.2.8 - 2.3.2 and should work fine with any 2.X.X version.

Note: I don't use vb 2.X anymore so this hack is no longer supported

I gotta thank you for this , my site is totaly not to do with cars. But wedding forums. Im adapting the timeslips database for my needs.

It's easy to understand the code , and so it's easy for me to adapt. Im allready 50% along the way of changing the feilds over all ready. Good code is easy to edit. And the code in this is very good , thanks.

gmarik · #25 10-23-2003, 04:17 PM

Thats my hack also. I made it about a year and a half ago when I was using phpBB.

Yep. Same one!

Very nice....someone from the car communities actually sharing their hacks for once

Nice job!

Looks cool. Installing now.

One thing I noticed is that you hardcoded id's in there

PHP Code:


			
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO profilefield (profilefieldid,title,description,required,hidden,maxlength,size,displayorder,editable) VALUES (50,'".addslashes($aa)."','".addslashes($a)."',0,0,'20','20','50', '1')");

You might want to consider this instead

PHP Code:


			
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO profilefield (title,description,required,hidden,maxlength,size,displayorder,editable) VALUES ('".addslashes($aa)."','".addslashes($a)."',0,0,'20','20','50', '1')");
 
$newid = mysql_insert_id();
$DB_site->query("ALTER TABLE userfield ADD field".$newid." CHAR(250) NOT NULL");

You may mess up some users installs if they have those id's already.

Thanks for the hack.

corsacrazy ,
Yes, I can make an add-on for portals that will show the top 5 quickest cars. I'll make it as soon as I get some free time (maybe this weekend) and post it here.

VampireMan,
Looks very good. Nice job converting it!

7thgenCivic.Com,
The new fields are hardcoded because they must correspond with the specified fields in timeslips.php. However, I set the ID numbers for the new fields very high (@ 50+) so this shouldn't be a problem for anyone. And even if they already had that many custom fields (highly doubtful) it would simply give an error saying that those fields already exist.

Anyway, thanks everyone for the compliments.. Nice to see some of you found it useful.

Portal add-on: Top Five 1/4 mile ETs

Attached is instructions and a screenshot for the top five 1/4 mile ETs add on for your front page portal.

If you want to show or sort by other fields just change the userfield IDs accordingly.
