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

hey Dewayne,

one more thing if you don't mind. what part of the code do i have to change to require ALL 1/4 mile and 1/8 mile submissions to have a timeslip linked?

i tried setting it to require a timeslip for everyone faster than 16sec thinking that would cover just about everyone, but there are some that put 16.0 just to get their name on the list. so i am having to weed them out about once a week.

thanks for your time AGAIN.

Jeff,
Replace the other code with this (in your modifytimeslip template):

<script language="javascript">
<!--
function validate(theform) {
	if ((theform.field55.value>0) && (theform.field57.value=="")) {
		alert("A link to your timeslip is required.");
		return false; }
}
//-->
</script>

That will require a timeslip for all ETs.
