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

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!


If you find this script useful please click install.

It will probably be a while as I'm working 6 and sometimes 7 days per week right now and don't have much free time to fool with hacks.

In the mean time, if you have basic knowledge of php you can see how to add new fields in this example:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=247

The example shows how to add and sort by a "class" field. But that should give you a general idea on how to add your diff. field.

Also, if you had already installed vB Timeslip Database before upgrading your forums to v3.0.2 or later you'll need to upload the attached file (TD302.php) to your admincp directory and run it. The upgrade script for vB 3.0.2 sets the custom user fields to medium text. Some of the timeslip fields must be set to DECIMAL in order for the timeslips page to sort them correctly. The attached file (TD302.php) will correct that for you. If you've installed the Timeslip Database AFTER upgrading to 3.0.2 you can skip this part.

Works like a charm on vB 3.0.3 Thnx!

Top effort! Thanks EvilS1!

Thanks EvilLS1 I will have a crack at adding the Diff ratio as field 66

In the interim how would I manually put the timeslip in as a blob in the database directly ?? Really need the admins to be able to upload people's timeslips as well as the user doing it

[PranK]

EvilS1 - I get SQL errors when running TD302.php and timeslips.php. This is cause you and I had to change my install to different numbers. My profile ID's for the timeslips are all in the 80's and 90's. What I need to know is what numbers correspond to what, so I can edit the files.

Thanks.

damn it...

Sidewindr,
If you really need the ability to upload timeslips for your users I'd suggest installing the "login as user" hack. Then if someone just can't figure out how to upload a slip for themselves you can login to their account and do it for them. I highly doubt you'll have to do that often anyway b/c most users should be able to figure out how to upload their own slip.

Prank,
If memory serves, your profile fields are 80-95.

To keep from having to manually edit all the fields in timeslips.php just open your old timeslips.php and find all instances of this:

'".intval($number)."'

And replace all of them with this:

0

Then upload the attached TD302.php file to your admincp directory and run it (I already edited the fields for you).

Thats because you uploaded the timeslips.php for version 2.1. You still have v2.0.

[PranK]

ahhhhh ok cool, thanks.
