vB Timeslip Database - for Automotive websites

Yes, finally I can release it here the converted version off Timeslips database for vbulletin 3.5.x. I made it as a product, try to change the file edits into plugin as best as I could but you still need to edit 2 files (optional). I can't think of an easy way to remove that but if anyone can, please pop in.

I've made the timeslips.php page XHTML valid. Of course the look has not been changed. Also made it fully phrased.

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

Demo:

http://www.ls6.com.au/forum/timeslips.php?

Installation overview:
Files to edit: (2)- member.php (1), functions_user.php (2), image.php(2)
Files to upload: (2)- timeslips.php, slipicon.gif
Templates to edit: (2)- USERCP_SHELL, navbar
Templates to add: 0
Phrases to add: 0

Why do I still have to edit files ?
The reasons for those editions are because you don't want users to see the timeslips profile fields in the memberlist/member profile/edit profile

and just that. So that means if you exclude those the hack will still work whatever



Installation instructions:

BACK UP EVERYTHING BEFORE INSTALLING ANY HACK

Firstly please read the file Instructions.txt file on how to install this hack.

the steps are: Import the product-timeslips.xml file. Do file and template editions. Upload files to correct folder. Then enjoy it !


I have tried all that I can by installing this hack on a fresh board and solved *almost* all the problem. But if you find any errors, please post it here (just do not duplicate things :P ).


Upgrading

I haven't had a chance to do the upgrade because I convert this for a fresh vb3.5 board. I've set up things that I think it's ready for the upgrade. I'm willing to test the upgrade on your board if anyone can give.

For the upgrade to work, you must use the latest version of timeslips which can be taken from here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=60945



Support

I'll try my best to give supports. But please understand due to my heavy busy I may miss your post. Please understand.


Screenshots?

The shots from its 3.0 version are fine.

Changes Logs

03/18/2006: version 1.1 Fully phrased the hack.
03/19/2006: fix the problem showing your current timeslip image when editing your timeslip. To upgrade simply re-import product-timeslips.xml.

03/19/2006: fixed a few bugs in this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....9&postcount=31 . Again to upgrade just reimport the product file.

03/20/2006: Hack version change to 1.1.3: Changed the field of field 52,53,55 to decimal (6,3). Added one more file editions into the instructions file to fix showing proper image. So bad to add another file edit but this is becaus there is no hook in image.php. this is how to do it:

PHP Code:

###### In image.php find:

if ($_REQUEST['type'] == 'profile') // do not modify this $_REQUEST


###### REPLACE IT WITH:

if ($_REQUEST['type'] == 'profile' or $_REQUEST['type'] == 'timeslip') // do not modify this $_REQUEST


###### FIND:

    else
    {
        $table = 'customavatar';
    }

###### ABOVE THIS ADD:

    else if ($_REQUEST['type'] == 'timeslip')
    {
        $data = 'timeslippicdata';
        $table = 'customfile';
    } 


Again to upgrade you need to import the product file again to overwrite. then do the above edit.

03/23/2006: Update: fix a JS error when submitting the new timeslip. (Thanks Sidewindr). Also the new product will attempt to remove your old vb3.0 options then add the new ones, this is for upgrading from timeslips for vb3.0 to vb3.5 . I didn't test that tho.

12/05/2006: Version 1.2 for vb3.6 released.

12/09/2006: minor fix for missing adding field50.

12/12/2006: fix the error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function build_hiddenprofilefield_cache() in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\folder\admincp\plugin.php(1468) : eval()'d code on line 6

Please click install if you use this hack for updates. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vborg_mis...hreadid=110717

end of presentation, hope I don't miss anything.

I finally bought the C&D Garage, and it works much better and has more features. I tried to continue to use the Timeslip database, but got to many errors with it.

Now, I have been having the hardest time trying to uninstall it. Gonna try a few more approaches to uninstall it, but my guess is that the code for the uninstall is trying to reference fields that no longer exist in the MySQL database. Any thoughts?

[robjgodfrey]

OK...so I checked my database and the fields are no longer there as I suspected. Now I still had the problem of uninstalling, but I deleted the uninstall code and tried to uninstall, and this time it worked.

Hope this helps. I liked the Plug-In, but for just $35 I was able to get more control and allow members with multiple vehicles to post times, pictures, mods, dyno graphs and so much more. Still...I wish it was free.

Would you rather pay $35 or try to make a free hack work each time vB gets updated? Personally, I think $35 is more than worth it for what you get. And its continuing to improve! I still can't believe there are some many people out there desperatetly trying to get this to work on vB versions that aren't supported with the hack.

Maybe even more people will switch over once the conversion script is complete to transfer information from the timeslips db to CND garage is complete.

does anyone have an idea of how to uninstall this? I've been trying for the last few hours with no luck. I keep getting two database errors... one for vb_customfile, which if I create a blank table it passes that, then I get an error with tdban. I tried reinstalling, but that doesn't seem to help at all

Me too! I keep getting this error and am unable to allow new registrations.

I dont even know where to begin to look. I have deleted all files and folders, blanked out the templates (how do you delete a template???), and have edited all php files back to normal. Any help here???????

[Devilbrad]

OK, quick update. I just disabled the product because I cant delete it, and I am no longer getting that database error. Would still like to eliminate anything associated with timeslips database though.

Just remove the problem query from the uninstall code in manage products section. I used this to remove.

$db->query_write("DELETE FROM `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield` WHERE `profilefieldid` IN(51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65)");
	$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield` DROP `field50`,	DROP `field51`, DROP `field52`, DROP `field53`, DROP `field54`, DROP `field55`, DROP `field56`, DROP `field57`, DROP `field58`, DROP `field59`, DROP `field60`, DROP `field61`, DROP `field62`, DROP `field63`, DROP `field64`, DROP `field65`");
	$db->query_write("OPTIMIZE TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield");
	require_once(DIR . '/includes/adminfunctions_profilefield.php');
