vB Timeslip Database -for Automotive websites

This is the newest version of my Timeslip Database hack. If you don't have an automobile related website ya might as well stop reading here because this will probably be of no use to you.. But if you do, read on!

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

If you'd like me to add a link to your VB3 Timeslip Database for others to see, please post it in this thread.

I've also attached some screenshots from my test board below so that you can see what the standard VB3 version looks like. The screenshots only show 10 entries, but it does have pagination and will display 25 per page by default.

Installation overview:
Files to edit: (7)- admincp/user.php, image.php, member.php, includes/functions_user.php, profile.php, includes/functions_upload.php, includes/functions_online.php
Files to upload: (3)- TDinstaller.php, timeslips.php, slipicon.gif
Templates to edit: (2)- USERCP_SHELL, navbar
Templates to add: (5)- timeslips, timeslipsbit, getvehicleinfo, timeslips_customfields, modifytimeslip
Phrases to add: (6) *see instructions


Support: (Updated: 8-6-05)
Due to my busy scedule and the release of vB 3.5 this version of the Timeslip Database will no longer be supported or developed. Please do not PM me with questions about when the next version will be released because I honestly have no idea.. But when I do start working on it I'll be sure to let you guys know.
Read more here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=666

Please search this thread before posting questions. Theres a good chance that your question has already been posted and answered.

Also, reading through the old thread for vB Timeslip Database v1.3 can probably answer some of your questions about adding new features or customizing.

The VB2 version of this hack is located here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=58076


Add-ons & How to's:
*Show the Top 5 ETs on your vB Advanced Homepage.
*Show the Top 5 ETs on your vB Advanced CMPS page. (by coolmody)
*Show the Top 5 ETs on your vBindex page. (by SVTBlackLight01)
*Change the default sort method
*Show the ET club that users belong to in the postbit.
*Show the 1/4 mile ET in the postbit only for users who have added it.
*Set permissions for editing the Vehicle Profile per usergroup.
*Require a link to the actual timeslip for all ETs that are 11.99 or quicker (for v2.0 only.. this comes standard in v2.1)


This hack has been confirmed to work with vB versions 3.0.0 - 3.0.8.

Many thanks to my beta testers: 350Chevy and Corsacrazy :up:


Version History:
v2.1: -Added the ability for users to upload timeslips in their vehicle profile. Added the ability for admins to require an actual timeslip for specified ETs. New Timeslip Database settings added to the admincp to control maximum upload sizes and turn the upload feature on & off. (current version)
(Check this post for more info about the new features.)
v2.0: -Ported hack over for VB3 and added a few new fields to the vehicle profile.
v1.3: -Added the ability to sort by ET brackets or "clubs". (ie. show 10 second cars only. 11 second cars only, 13 sec cars, etc).
v1.2: -Added a new action that will show the average ET, trap speed, and horsepower for your site.
v1.1: -Added the seperate vehicle profile page to input timeslip data. Added a few new fields to the vehicle profile page (race weight, track, D/A, mods, tranny type, etc). Added a "details" column to the Timeslip Database page which lets you view all vehicle profile fields when clicked.
v1.0: -Initial release. (VB2)


NOTE: If you've recently upgraded your forum software and you're having trouble with timeslips.php showing all users (regardless if they have an ET) or it not sorting correcty, Read This!

(change the x's in array(x,x,x) to the group IDs that you don't want to have access).

if (in_array($bbuserinfo['membergroupids'], array(x,x,x))) 
{ 
	print_no_permission();
}

This doesn't seem to work for me. I had a line existing, so I just added the membergroupids thing after it.

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'edittimeslip')
{
  if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0  or $bbuserinfo[tdban]==0 or in_array($bbuserinfo['membergroupids'], array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10))) 
{
	print_no_permission();
}
	unset($tempcustom);
...

When I login as anybody, it still allows me to edit the Vehicle Profile. I have added all the groupids, but still I seem to be missing something.

Any ideas?

[EvilLS1]

Try this on a seperate line:

if (in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(x,x,x))) 
{ 
	print_no_permission();
}

The first one you had here will work if you have merk's change for the is_member_of installed.

I wasn't sure... I've never used the is_member_of function so I figured I'd better stick with what I know.

[EvilLS1]

BTW, I have v2.1 with the upload feature running on my site right now.. So far it seems to be working flawlessly but I wanna test it for a few more days and then I'll start working on the upgrade script & instructions.

Support:
I will support basic installation and troubleshooting only. Since I don't use VB3 on my own site, I will not be offering support for customizing or adding new features.
Instead, I urge those of you who install it to share your customizations & add-ons with others. If you have a useful addition to this hack, post it here and I'll add a link to your post in the add-ons section below.

Also, reading through the old thread for vB Timeslip Database v1.3 can probably answer some of your questions about adding new features or customizing.

Thanks to Corsacrazy for beta testing this for me.

Could you add my site to the list please? http://www.tealnet.com/forum

Thanks,
Tim

P.S. Thank you for making this available for those of us with car related sites!!!!

EvilLS1,
Thanks again for this modification!!!! It is awesome! Just one suggestion possibly if you don't mind?

Some folks like myself really keep track of our timeslips and the way this database is currently setup it only allows for one timeslip. Possibility in the future that you'll allow one user to have multiple slips so they can compare mods vs times? You know my supercharged Mustang is very slow so I have to keep up with what mod works vs doesn't...

Cheers,
Tim

Added gpfanatix and tealnet.com.

Tim,
Nice site. I used to visit tealnet back when I had my 92 GT. Anyway, adding the ability for users to show the data from a second timeslip in the vehicle profile shouldn't be too difficult. But I'm pretty sure that adding the ability for the timeslips database page to sort more than one timeslip per user would require a re-write of the entire hack. I'll think on it more and maybe I can come up with something by the time v2.2 is released.

@ everyone else,
350Chevy and I are currently beta testing v2.1 and so far its running smoothly. If we don't find anymore bugs within the next few days I'll release it.

Thanks! I used to really keep up with my site back in the day when I was doing a lot of custom scripting (*.asp / SQL) but I don't know much about *.php / MySQL / Perl or I'd offer to help you. My knowledge is very limited so I have a big learning curve. You got rid of the 92? LOL.... I've had my 98 GT for over 6 years now and just got new forged 284 ci to run a lot of boost... we'll see how it goes.

No rush on the modification that I requested (multiple timeslips for one person) just a suggestion.

Thanks!!!!
Tim
