vB Timeslip Database -for Automotive websites

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.)

*The ability to sort by:
-1/4 Mile ET
-1/4 Mile MPH
-1/8 Mile ET
-1/8 Mile MPH

*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 entered my info as a test but it didnt' show, this morning I had a user.php error so its probably in there. I'm having to work around the "miserable users" hack also.

Weird. Not sure what could be causing it. I registered at your site (1SLlivE) last night to test it and it worked fine for me.

hey EvilLS1,

1.3 great addition to an already great hack! (Now i just have to do the upgrade!)

Great work!

[glo]

EvilLS1, is there anyway to add an image of the vehicle in the "vehicle profile"?

Also, is it easy to sort by any of the other fields?

[EvilLS1]

Thanks glo. Zzed has released a hack which allows you to add images to the profile. You can easily apply it to the vehicle profile aswell. Check his profile page for a link to the hack.

Check this post to change the default sort method:

Add on:
This will show the ET club that each user belongs to in the postbit. For example, if a user has a 12 second ET it will display "12 Second Club Member" in the postbit below his username.

##### In admin/functions.php find:

//highlight words for search engine

Above it add:

if ($post[field55]>=14 && $post[field55]<15) 
{
$poop = "<smallfont><a href=\"timeslips.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=14seccars\" STYLE=\"text-decoration: none\">14 Second Club Member</a></smallfont>";
} 
else if ($post[field55]>=13 && $post[field55]<14)
{
$poop = "<smallfont><a href=\"timeslips.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=13seccars\" STYLE=\"text-decoration: none\">13 Second Club Member</a></smallfont>";
}
else if ($post[field55]>=12 && $post[field55]<13)
{
$poop = "<smallfont><a href=\"timeslips.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=12seccars\" STYLE=\"text-decoration: none\">12 Second Club Member</a></smallfont>";
}
else if ($post[field55]>=11 && $post[field55]<12)
{
$poop = "<smallfont><a href=\"timeslips.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=11seccars\" STYLE=\"text-decoration: none\">11 Second Club Member</a></smallfont>";
}
else if ($post[field55]>=10 && $post[field55]<11)
{
$poop = "<smallfont><a href=\"timeslips.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=10seccars\" STYLE=\"text-decoration: none\">10 Second Club Member</a></smallfont>";
}
else if ($post[field55]>0 && $post[field55]<10)
{
$poop = "<smallfont><a href=\"timeslips.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=singledigitcars\" STYLE=\"text-decoration: none\">Single Digit Club Member</a></smallfont>";
}
else
{
$poop = "";
}

Then put $poop in your postbit template where you want it to show up.

kind of bringing up a semi-dead thread, but great hack!! I run a DSM board, and I love the hack! Makes my job a lot easier in keeping track and updating best 1/4 mile times for our club. It's even better that my 12.5 is at the top of the list.

A couple issues, however...

After installing the hack, I get an error when trying to register on the board. The error reads:

Parse error: parse error in /home/columb7/public_html/forum/register.php on line 402

If I return register.php back to it's previous state, there are no problems.


Second issue: when on the actual list, I click to sort by (anything), and I get "The requested URL /forum/timeslips.php was not found on this server." I get the same error when clicking on "Submit your timeslip data."

Any assistance in these issues is greatly appreciated! The hack is very beneficial even in it's current state, but I'd like to fix these issues and get it working properly. Oh, I'm using vB 2.3.4, only hacks are this one, xx posts to make new thread, xx days to make new thread, and usertrade rating system.

[EvilLS1]

ucsigep,
A parse error usually means that something was not pasted correctly when editing the files (maybe a missing ; ).. Try re-applying the file edits to a fresh (unhacked) register.php and see if it works.
As for the other issue, if you'll provide me with a link to your timeslips page I'll take a look at it for you.

it's at http://gs8.inmotionhosting.com/~colu.../timeslips.php (URL hasn't updated to our new host yet).

It may not let you on, we've got it set up to only allow registered users to view. But feel free to register.


I'll double check the register.php, but I've tried it about 3 or 4 times and had the same result. I've glanced over the instructions that I'm copying and pasting, I don't see anything that appears to be missing. Thank you for your help, though!!
