Can't wait to see your future releases.

Like Magnus has said, this thing is template driven, so you can set things up how you wish to. Example- if you created some fields that you want the user to fill out for the VBgarage, you can certanly force them to do so. I'm just tinkering with my own version of this hack, and I know a lot of you use the timeslip hack as well, so I thought I'd toss this out. I mean, you could go as far as you want to with this- you could edit my conditional statements to return any number of results based on what they put in these fields.
The way I did this, there aren't any "empty" fields displayed. You could edit this to make it so NOTHING shows up, no box, no message, nothing, unless the user enters timeslip data.
Personally, I like being able to "freeform" UBB code in the text area. Many of my members have made some very cool garages using the free-form setup.
If you wanted to make this act like say "cardomain" you could setup a system where all the info that shows up in the text area is relative to input in custom fields for the garage.

Joey, it looks like your custom fields for the timeslip hack do not match mine, I haven't seen that before. it's easy to fix though, just view the properties of all your custom fields and make note of the numbers.

It looks like you have double-pasted the code into your template. You need to go back and look it over. In the screenshot you posted, your vehicle type is showing up as your best ET, so that field ID number is obviously wrong.

Here's what you should do:

List the field numbers for:

Best ET
Best MPH
RWHP
Best 60 foot

Make sure the numbers for these fields as they relate to YOUR forums match the code in the template. The way DeWayne constructed his hack, the custom fields for the timeslip database are numbered in the 50's. Not many forums have 50+ custom fields. Does yours?? I have no idea why your fields would have different numbers than mine, that's not how the timeslip hack was constructed. Unless you simply have fubared the whole code from moving things around?

With regard to your first post, you must have pasted the code into the wrong place. Now it appears you have solved that issue.

FWIW, you can put this anywhere in the garage you wish to. I had it over by the photo thumbs column but felt it looked better where it is now. You als can change the fonts and tables and such, it's not set in stone how this should look. I have installed this on two sites and it looks/works perfectly on each one.

you know -- I read that 3 times svt and I still dont understand half of it.

I am very new at all this, although learning (slowly). Dont know where to find the custom field numbers you refer to and simply installed the hacks exactly as instructed.

I understand Joe, we've all been there.

Open your forums cpanel area and scroll down to "user profile fields" then expand that option and select "user profile field manager". Now all your custom fields should display in a list, which will also identify each one by number. On my board, here are how mine are numbered as they relate to this hack:

Best ET: 55
Best MPH: 56
RWHP: 51
Best 60 foot: 52

Yours should be the same. Also, you must have been doing some editing because you posted different screenshots.

I am trustworthy and work for Ford Motor Company, I am not going to mess with your forum. If you want me to help, I can register, give me admin access and I'll fix it for you. I will be out for several hours this afternoon but will be back online tonight...

SVTOA · #**651** 04-29-2004, 03:39 PM

I just registered on your board as SVTOA.

It's up to you if you want me to help.

dcevoclub,

Check this part the timeslip add-on in your template.

Code:

<!-- performance stats block by SVTOA -->
<br>
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" 

width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>My $data[year] $data[model] Performance Stats</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow"><span class="smallfont">

<if condition="!$user['userid']">
<else />
<!-- YOU MUST EDIT THE FIELDS BELOW TO MATCH THE NUMBERS OF YOUR FORUM CUSTOM FIELDS -->
<if condition="$user[field6] !=''">
<font color="black"><b>My Best ET: <font color="red">$user[field6]</font>
<else />

<!-- the next line may be changed to say whatever you want it to say -->
This member has not added ET data to their vB Garage.
</if>
</if>
</span>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- best mph field -->

It looks your missing the part in bold itallics.

no that is there..

SVTBlackLight01 · #**657** 04-29-2004, 06:35 PM

I only say that because, looking at your page source this is what is on the page.

Code:

<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>My 2003 Evolution Performance Stats</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class=""><span class="smallfont">



This member has not added ET data to their vB Garage.


</span>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- best mph field -->

The cell class is not defined (it wasn't showing up at all before).

SVTOA · #**658** 04-29-2004, 07:26 PM

Joeychgo- I filled in all the fields in my profile on your website, and created a garage and everything displays just fine. Did you change something since this morning?

You may have to edit the table and text colors to match the style on your website, but this should adapt to the style it is used with. On my baord we have several styles and the colors change according to the style.

I just visited your page you linked to, and while you do see only a black rectangle, if you right-click and swipe the mouse over that box the text that is supposed to be there shows up as selected. This should be easy to fix.

SVTOA · #**660** 04-29-2004, 07:36 PM

Here's what I see when I look at the two sites where you guys report trouble...

magnus · #**661** 04-29-2004, 08:10 PM

SVTOA, good job!

I hope you don't mind, but I went ahead and formatted/tinkered with your HTML a bit. I made it XHTML 1.0 Compliant, as well as cleaned it up a bit. I think I may have fixed the issue with joey's table, too. Not sure, so he'll have to test it and let me know:

HTML Code:

<!-- performance stats block by SVTOA -->
<br />

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
	<td class="tcat smallfont">
		<b>My $data[year] $data[model] Performance Stats</b>
	</td>
</tr>

<!-- best et field -->
<tr>
	<td class="$getbgrow smallfont">
		<if condition="$user[field55] != '00.00'">
			<b>My Best ET: <font color="red">$user[field55]</font>
		<else />
			This member has not added ET data to their vB Garage.
		</if>
	</td>
</tr>

<!-- best mph field -->
<tr>
	<td class="$getbgrow smallfont">
		<if condition="$user[field56] != '00.00'">
			<b>My Best MPH: <font color="red">$user[field56]</font>
		</if>
	</td>
</tr>

<!-- rwhp field -->
<tr>
	<td class="$getbgrow smallfont">
		<if condition="$user[field51] != '0.0'">
			<b>My RWHP: <font color="red">$user[field51]</font>
		</if>
	</td>
</tr>

<!-- best 60 foot time -->
<tr>
	<td class="$getbgrow smallfont">
		<if condition="$user[field52] !='0.000'">
			<b>My Best 60 foot time: <font color="red">$user[field52]</font>
		</if>
	</td>
</tr>

</table>

<br />
<!-- End PERFORMANCE STATS BLOCK -->

I'll be sure to put a link to this in the first post.
