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

Check the demo page to see it in action.

Go to the demo page and select "Site Averages" from the drop down menu to see what I mean.

Thats why you're having the problem with the "page not found" error when sorting. Your domain name isn't set yet and the timeslip software is pointing to $bburl/timeslips.php. The $bburl variable is replaced with http://www.columbusdsm.com/forum/ in your browser and that won't work until your domain has updated.

To get around this, in your timeslips template you can find all instances of $bburl/ and remove it..

For example, you would replace this:

<option value="$bburl/timeslips.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=quarter">1/4 Mile ET</option>

with this:

<option value="timeslips.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=quarter">1/4 Mile ET</option>

Do that for all sort options & also the url for submitting timeslip data.

Or you could just wait until your domain is working and it will work fine.

As for the parse error in register.php if you'll email me the file I'll find the problem and correct it for you. Email it to webmaster@modernmusclecars.net

ucsigep,
Check your email. I found what was causing your parse error.

All I get is a blank white screen when I try to post a timeslip.

Make sure you added all of the new templates to all styles. Thats about the only thing that could be causing it.

More specifically, check to make sure that you added the "modifytimeslip" template. If so, check the spelling of the template name for a typeo.

[EvilLS1]

Also check to make sure that you didn't miss an edit in member.php.. You should have this code:

// ############################### start modify Timeslip Data #######################
if ($action=="edittimeslip") {
  $templatesused = 'timeslips_customfields,usercpnav,modifytimeslip';
  include("./global.php");
  // do modify profile form

  if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0  or $bbuserinfo[vpban]==0 or $permissions['canmodifyprofile']==0) {
    show_nopermission();
  }

  // get extra profile fields
  $customfields = '';
  $profilefields=$DB_site->query("SELECT *
                                  FROM profilefield
                                  WHERE editable = 1
                                  AND profilefieldid IN (50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63)
                                  ORDER BY displayorder");
  while ($profilefield=$DB_site->fetch_array($profilefields)) {
    $profilefieldname="field$profilefield[profilefieldid]";
    
if ($bgcolor=="{firstaltcolor}") {
      $bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}";
    } else {
      $bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}";
    }
	
    eval("\$customfields .= \"".gettemplate("timeslips_customfields")."\";");
  }

  if ($allowhtml) {
    $htmlonoff=$ontext;
  } else {
    $htmlonoff=$offtext;
  }
  if ($allowbbcode) {
    $bbcodeonoff=$ontext;
  } else {
    $bbcodeonoff=$offtext;
  }
  if ($allowbbimagecode) {
    $imgcodeonoff=$ontext;
  } else {
    $imgcodeonoff=$offtext;
  }
  if ($allowsmilies) {
    $smiliesonoff=$ontext;
  } else {
    $smiliesonoff=$offtext;
  }

  // draw cp nav bar
  $cpnav[1]="{secondaltcolor}";
  $cpnav[2]="{firstaltcolor}";
  $cpmenu[2]="class=\"fjsel\" selected";
  $cpnav[3]="{secondaltcolor}";
  $cpnav[4]="{secondaltcolor}";
  $cpnav[5]="{secondaltcolor}";
  $cpnav[6]="{secondaltcolor}";
  $cpnav[7]="{secondaltcolor}";
  eval("\$cpnav = \"".gettemplate("usercpnav")."\";");

  eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("modifytimeslip")."\");");
}

I didn't add that template. I added all the others but somehow skipped over that one. Thanks.

Any ideas whats going on with mine?

http://www.tidewaterracing.com/forums/timeslips.php

I thought it was fine. But soon as someone tried to post a time it got all jumbled up.

[94supratt]

I got it straight.

[94supratt]

Is there any way to post times for users with multiple times? I quite a few that do.

Not at the moment. The timeslips page can only sort one ET per user.
