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.
here's the link: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ight=timeslips


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 want Fields 50 and 51 to be drop downs, so I have changed the XML.

Seems to work well.

For the people having un-install issues, you may need to follow this.

Do you have the latest version becuase that was fixed.

EDIT: Also for anyone installing this, it's highly unlikey but make sure you don't already have profile field numbers 50 and up or you will have problems. If you don't want certain fields, it's best to remove them from the XML before you install it. This way you can remove it later down the line withour problems. EX: I decided not to use "Density Altitude" so i removed all traces of that field from the install and uninstall code. Also of you want certain field to be drop downs, you need to change "input" to "select" for that field in the XML.

For the people having un-install issues, you may need to follow this.

I try running the query for the uninstall code and I get errors also. I'm running mysql 4.0.12 or something like that.

An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1064
error desc: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '$db->query_write("DROP TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "customfile")'

Did you delete any of the fields that were created (50 to 65)? If so that is the only un-install error that I have come across. I have installed and uninstalled this over 20 times as I am customizing it, with out problem. If it's beyond that, you might need to wait for Death to chime in.

This a fresh install for this site, never had this feature before, I checked the database and I only have 6 profile fields, none are within the numbers on this installation so I'm guessing is not installing correctly for some reaso I guess.

So is the error I posted anything to worry about or should I just go on with the install? I have had Timeslip mod on my site before. Thanks

[92GreenGT]

Went ahead and installed it, when I click "Timeslips" on my navbar it takes me to a blank white page and when I click "Edit Vehicle Profile" in my User CP it takes you to a blank page. Is this related to the product error I got earlier? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

This is for boards that have never had this installed. You might want to check out the upgrade version here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=104471

Not sure why your having issues. I am runing this on my test board (clean vb install) first and while I making my customizations, Installs without any problems. I am running Mysql 4.1.14 though.

Anyone help me?
