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.

Added. Looks like ya still need to upload the slip icon image for your default style.

[epic1]

<a href="http://www.fullthrottlev6.com" target="_blank">www.fullthrottlev6.com</a> added to mine, too. great script.

A few small requests that I'm getting from my staff:

Custom sort function. My board houses F-Body/W-Body/Holden vehicles. I'd love if there was a platform sort for each one that would only display the selected type. Another function would be a dyno image column, similar to that of proving your timeslip as an image.

If you added those, I'd be mad impressed but I realize that's me getting greedy. :P

[jeff bourman]

uuuhh errr.. thanks .. thought I did it but obviously not

I need a hack like this one, but it must be multiple. I found this page:
http://www.dodgetalk.com/forums/garage.php
That`s what I want. Somebody knows how it can be done that user can post more vehicles and how can be done the statistics like the page above?

Sorry for my bad english, I`m german.

Wow. That's a pretty impressive garage. You might wanna look at this and see if you can get that to work for you.

I saw this hack, but there are any modifications to do. I'm not a coder... :ermm:

[sunrunner_pei]

I've been running v1.3 on vB 2.2.9 for quite some time now, but we're currently testing a forum upgrade to 3.0.7. I got the forums upgraded, and trying to apply the TD 2.1 to it. Unfortunatly for me, I get the error

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.7:

Invalid SQL: CREATE TABLE customtimeslippic (
userid INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
timeslippicdata MEDIUMTEXT NOT NULL,
dateline INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
filename VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
visible SMALLINT NOT NULL DEFAULT '1',
filesize INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
PRIMARY KEY (userid))
mysql error: Table 'customtimeslippic' already exists

mysql error number: 1050

when running the TDinstaller.php. I tried checking the User Profile Field Manager, but no profile fields show up in there (See attachment), although I know that fields exist in the database (They still show up when editing a user in the AdminCP, see other attachment). Since they're not displaying in the profile field manager, how can I get rid of those fields so I can re-install the hack?

Thanks so much for any help!

[EvilLS1]

Sunrunner,
You're getting that error because the script was ran twice. Maybe you tried to run it before removing the old fields? The customtimeslipspic table is already there so the script gives the error because its trying to install the same table twice.

Anyway, to fix it we'll need to completely undo all the database changes made by this hack.

Use phpmyadmin to remove fields 50-65 from the userfields & profilefields tables. Drop the customtimeslippic table. Go into your user table and delete the tdban column.

Now log into your admincp, go to vboptions, then scroll down and look for Timeslip Database settings. If the settings are NOT there, run the installation script from the main (hack) post again. If the settings ARE there, run the attached TDinstaller.php instead.

That will fix it.
