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!

Ok, i have another question. Alot of members use n2o so they have both N/A and P/A times. Is there a way I can make it where it show's both if they have it? Also, when i try and sort them by N/A, and Usernames yours is the only one that shows up.

Its not possible to sort by more that one ET at a time so they would just have to choose one or the other.

Also, when i try and sort them by N/A, and Usernames yours is the only one that shows up.

Thats because its sorting N/A 1/4 mile times. Everything is based on 1/4 mile times by default because thats the most popular track length when people discuss drag racing. So when you click "Show N/A cars only" the query selects all members who are N/A and orders by 1/4 mile ET. It has to order by something or else you would just have a mixed list of users not ranked in any specific order.

If you want it to sort N/A cars by 1/8 mile ET instead do this..

In timeslips.php find:

    else if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'na') 
   {
        $condition.=" AND userfield.field65='$natasp' AND userfield.field55>0";
        $cond.=" WHERE userfield.field65='$natasp' AND userfield.field55>0";
        $orderby="userfield.field55";
        $direction=ASC;
        $bracket13="<b>[</b>";
        $bracket14="<b>]</b>";
   }

replace it with:

    else if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'na') 
   {
        $condition.=" AND userfield.field65='$natasp' AND userfield.field53>0";
        $cond.=" WHERE userfield.field65='$natasp' AND userfield.field53>0";
        $orderby="userfield.field53";
        $direction=ASC;
        $bracket13="<b>[</b>";
        $bracket14="<b>]</b>";
   }

What would be the conditional statement to display a link to a users uploaded
timeslip(just the timeslip not the full "details" page) if they have submitted one from in their vbgarage?

or,
link to the users full "details" page(if they have submitted timeslip data)?

Adding a link to the details page is easy. Just use a conditional to check if the user has entered something in the 1/4 mile ET field like this:

<if condition="$user[field55] >0">
<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]&do=vehicledetails&userid=$id">Timeslip Details</a>
</if>

As for adding a link to the timeslip itself, I believe that would require adding a query to vbgarage.php in order to get the dateline.

I didn't test this but it should work:

In vbgarage.php find:

    eval('$commentbits .= "' . fetch_template('vbgarage_commentbits') . '";');
	}

Below it add:

   $timeslip=$DB_site->query("SELECT dateline
                          FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "customtimeslippic WHERE userid = $id LIMIT 1
	");
     $result_timeslip = $DB_site->fetch_Array($timeslip);
     $tdateline = $result_timeslip[dateline];

Then put this somewhere in your vbgarage_viewgarage template:

<if condition="$tdateline!=''">
<a href="image.php?u=$id&amp;type=timeslip&amp;dateline=$tdateline" target="_blank">View Timeslip <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/slipicon.gif" border=0></a>
</if>

Both of your answers worked perfectly! I also must say that was just about the quickest response known to mankind! Your help is massively appreciated.

When the timeslip input page loads in the userscp, it loads with the usercp menu on the lefthand side. How do I remove the usercp menu when it loads, i.e, just the timeslip edit vehicle profile section loads under the navbar, no lefthand side menu. I know this may sound odd but I would like timeslip usercp section to look uniform with the vbgarage usercp section since I have them linking to each other. Personally I like the lefthand side menu for all the cp sections however vbgarage doesn't incorporate it and there's probably little chance of me contacting magnus as to how to add it.

Any help would once again be greatly appreciated.

In your "USERCP_SHELL" template find:

$navbar

Below it add:

<if condition="$_REQUEST['do'] != edittimeslip">

Find:

<!-- main page contents -->
$HTML

Above it add:

</if>

[zer026]

And again it worked perfectly. Thanks so much for your fantastic support for your Timeslip mod. I'm sure my members are going to love it when the rest of the forum is finished. Thanks Again!

[EvilLS1]

You're welcome.
