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.)

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

Logician ,
Thank you for re-enforcing my point.

rishel, READ!

2- If you code your own script that does something another program is doing, and you coded it from the ground, you don't have to get anybody's permission to do that. Eg. if you code a vb hack from the ground that does what phpmyadmin is exactly doing, you don't need a permission, because you coded it from the ground. If it were otherwise, vbulletin itself would never be coded since there were other bb scripts around that use the same "concept".

FYI (logician), this was all coded from the ground by me. There are no other released timeslip scripts for vbulletin. Only mine. If you read back through this thread you'll notice nothing but positive replies (other than rishel's) from other users as this is all original and nothing like it has ever been released here.

Here's a quick rundown on the situation:

rishel claims that I have "ripped" the concepts (ideas) which are being used on a site that he/she visits.

To prove otherwise, I posted several different Timeslip Database scripts from other websites (including a script that I wrote about 2 years ago) which use the same concepts as the one she mentioned and have been around for years.


rishel doesn't seem to understand that all timeslip database scripts share many of the same features. Just like forum software.

Honestly, until today I had not even looked at the horsepower.com site which rishel claims that I "ripped". But after looking at it, its completely different than my own.

You can take a look at this post and you'll see for yourself that there are many different timeslip scripts which share the same or similar features:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....0&postcount=90

So in short, rishel is very confused and is making false accusations.

[EvilLS1]

And if your "intelligent" self would go look at the script again on HP, then you would see it has those same things on the opening members page, so open your eyes genius.

You're still missing the point, sweet cheeks. Even if that site had some of the same features, it doesn't matter because 1) I did not copy anything from that site. 2) they are not the first or the last website to use those concepts for a script such as this one. and 3) This was coded by me from start to finish, so the fact that other sites have similar features is irrelevant.

Get the last word in, let everyone see this MASSIVE rebuttle your going to make. Make sure it sounds intelligent, witty, and do everything you can to discredit me.

I have no need to discredit you. You never had any credit to begin with. Your accusations are false and way off base. You're obviously not mature enough to admit you were wrong and move on. Instead you just keep slinging insults like a 5 year old. By doing this you discredited yourself.

You can do it, because no matter what you say, I am through with this thread.

Good. Now could a moderator please remove this garbage from my thread? Thanks.

@EvilS1: done.

@rishel: Given the situation and hack's complying by vb.org rules, your flame is unjust and unnecessary. Message removed. Please help us grow this community by encouraging hack authors to share their work. They are here with uncommercial purposes, sharing their work, offering free help thus offending them in their hack threads is not helping anything. Especially when there is no ground to flame their hack which seems to be complying by vb.org rules.

If we restricted release of hacks here just because their concept is similiar to a different project, we would have no hacks. 99.9% of the hacks here is for sure similiar to an other project in the internet regarding its concept. I'm sure even your own site (whatever it is) is not unique in its subject and I'm sure internet's having a site about "X" did not stop you openning your own site about same subject, did it? Coding business is no different..

[EvilLS1]

Thank you Logician.

Oops. Forgot to change the file name in the url for the insert action. Its fixed now. Redownload the upgrade script and run it again. BTW, if you've added any new custom profile fields with IDs from 58-63 you'll have to remove them or change the IDs first.

I just finished installing this hack. Thanks so much, EvilLS1, it works perfectly!!!

*clicks install*

[sunrunner_pei]

Hmmm, I just had an idea...

Is there any way to get 1/4 mile times in the PostBit? And only show up in the postbit if the user has the info listed in their profile?
