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!

Glad it worked for ya.

BTW, I was just checking out your site .. Thats a nice group of Mopars in your sig. I love the red road runner! :up:

[Limey-YMR]

I've been running 3.06 since it was first released and this hack just kept on chugging, when I put it back into the changed files.

[Big Kahuna]

I have it live now at www.moparstyle.com and credit you on the footer of each page.

Thanx for the comment on the Red Road Runner -- it is 8.95 on the bottle that I'm selling. I race www.texasblackmagic.com which just got a 540 dropped in it. I also race www.rudedodge.com in Nostalgia Super Stock and building www.texaswhale.com for next year. My 16-year-old was the National Points Champ in 2004 for Nostalgia Muscle Car in www.eldiabloblanco.com and my daughter starts racing a low 12-second Aspen this year.

On that Top 10 Confirmed on the Index page - how could I have a condition where the member also has to have a 100 posts? I already see people from other sites signing up just to be in the Top 10 -- but have no intention of becoming an active member?

Dave,
Those are some very impressive cars! A member of my site who calls himself "The OLE MAN" has built a few quick Mopars including an 8 second B-Body drag car and a SB 72 Demon. I'll have to tell him about moparstyle.com. He may already be registered there.

To limit the top ten list to members with more than 100 posts try this..

In the code you added to forums/index.php find:

$condition.=" AND (userfield.field57!='' OR customtimeslippic.dateline!='') AND userfield.field55>0";

Replace it with:

$condition.=" AND (userfield.field57!='' OR customtimeslippic.dateline!='') AND userfield.field55>0 AND user.posts>100";

That should do it.

Thanks for the credits btw.

How can I make some of the fields to be *Required* to sumbit your timeslip???

You can do that with javascript in your modifytimeslip template..

For example, if you wanted to require field 50 you could do it like this:

In the modifytimeslip template find (two places):

<script language="javascript">
<!--
function validate(theform) {

Below both instances add this:

	if (theform.field50.value=="") {
		alert("You have not filled in one or more required fields. Please add all required information and try again.");
		return false; }

The users will get a javascript alert when they submit the form if a required field is missing.
