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:

(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.

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!

So is there a place i can stick it where it will have the same effect?

[Grant Sherwood]

Also do i have to enable users to use this? Because its only showing up in thier UserCP where they can edit it. theres no link anywhere to look at anyones car info. and when they try to submit there timeslip's it just sends them back to there UserCP where they can edit there info... :-(

Leave it to me to screw stuff up.

Grant Sherwood,
The part that you add to the navbar template will add a link to the timeslip database in your header so that its easy to access from any page. Your header has been modified so you'll have to experiment with it a little to find out where the link looks best. Or you could just make a timeslips button to put with the rest of your buttons. You can find a button in the other Timeslip Database thread (for vb2).
I just registered at your forum to test and your Timeslip Database is working fine. When you submit your info it forwards you to the timeslips.php page just like its supposed to. Your users can submit their times by clicking the link at the bottom of the timeslips page (http://www.ntsr.org/forums/timeslips.php? ) or by going to their usercp and clicking "edit vehicle profile". You just need to add a link to timeslips.php somewhere and you also need to upload the timeslip icon.

[Grant Sherwood]

everytime i click "submit your timeslip data" it sends me back to the profile page, then i click save changes then i go look and its still not there. Also for some reason the "slipicon" is trying to pull itslef from http://www.ntsr.org/forums/classic_i...//slipicon.gif ..lol, how do i get rid of the extra / ?

Thanks again for your help.

[Grant Sherwood]

Ok, well i figured out why it wasnt submiting mine, you have to put a 1/4 time in or it wont submit. now all i need to do is fix the f'in icon..

[Grant Sherwood]

NVM, i got it to work...Thanks for all your help. :-)

Great hack BTW.

[EvilLS1]

Ok, well i figured out why it wasnt submiting mine, you have to put a 1/4 time in or it wont submit.

You don't have to put in a 1/4 mile ET to submit your info. The default sort method is 1/4 and will only show users who have entered the 1/4 mile time.. but you can view 1/8 mile ETs aswell. Just select 1/8 mile ET from the drop down menu at the top right hand side of the page and it'll list everyone who entered it..

Thanks for all your help. :-)

Great hack BTW.

You're welcome, and thanks.

[Grant Sherwood]

Is there a way to set the default as 1/8th ET? The only 1/4 track around our area is Ennis and its not very close so 90% of the people only have 1/8 ET's.

[EvilLS1]

In timeslips.php find:

// If no action is set order by quarter
if (empty($_REQUEST['do']))
{
  $_REQUEST['do'] ='quarter';
}

Replace it with:

// If no action is set order by eighth
if (empty($_REQUEST['do']))
{
  $_REQUEST['do'] ='eighth';
}

find

   else 
   {
        $cond.=" WHERE userfield.field55>0";
        $condition.=" AND userfield.field55>0";
        $orderby="userfield.field55";
        $direction=ASC;
        $bracket3="<b>[</b>";
        $bracket4="<b>]</b>";
}

replace it with

   else 
   {
        $cond.=" WHERE userfield.field53>0";
        $condition.=" AND userfield.field53>0";
        $orderby="userfield.field53";
        $direction=ASC;
        $bracket5="<b>[</b>";
        $bracket6="<b>]</b>";
}

[Grant Sherwood]

Works Perfectly :banana:

Thanks again.
