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

If you'd like me to add a link to your VB3 Timeslip Database for others to see, please post it in this thread.

I've also attached some screenshots from my test board below so that you can see what the standard VB3 version looks like. The screenshots only show 10 entries, but it does have pagination and will display 25 per page by default.

Screenshots:
Timeslips main page
Vehicle Profile
Edit Vehicle Profile
Upload a timeslip
Admincp settings


Installation overview:
Files to edit: (7)- admincp/user.php, image.php, member.php, includes/functions_user.php, profile.php, includes/functions_upload.php, includes/functions_online.php
Files to upload: (3)- TDinstaller.php, timeslips.php, slipicon.gif
Templates to edit: (2)- USERCP_SHELL, navbar
Templates to add: (5)- timeslips, timeslipsbit, getvehicleinfo, timeslips_customfields, modifytimeslip
Phrases to add: (6) *see instructions


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.

Couldnt that be done by requesting ANY php file that contained a couple queries ?
If yes then how do you prevent it ?

Correct, although not quite as bad, the timeslip db makes alot of DB queries..

Is there any way to limit the number of queries any 1 client can make per second?

A typical (unmodified) timeslips page makes 7 queries. The page you're viewing right now makes 19.

It's odd because it was just that page that caused the problem .. maybe it's doing a more complex query ?? I don't know .. but didn't happen with the other pages only the timeslip page was targetted .. wierd.

The problem is that the custom fields are not indexed and the userfield table is walked 6 times right off the bat doing compares of the field setting.

On a large forum, this == bad.

Adding an index to the custom fields 51 through 56 could show you an improvement.

How might I index said fields ? I am not sure how to do this as I've never done nor had to do this before.

i haven't been following this thread in a while. i take it there won't be a version for 3.5.x?

it's a really popular feature on my board and the members are clamoring for it, along with the trader ratings hack.

I saw someone using vb. 3.5.1 with this hack on their site. I was looking to see if a new upgarde was made and come to see it was this version on their 3.5.1
