Timeslip database

http://www.sportcompactracing.com/TIMESLIP.php

Above is the link to the timeslip database I made for a couple car sites I run. How would I go about integrating it into vbulletin so I can have the users verified by registering and such. Any points in the right direction would help out.

In what specific ways did you want it to integrate? so only certain groups can view it as an example?

Whatever you want to you you will need to add:

require('./global.php');

At the top of the file.

I think one of the main things is making it so you have to be registered to enter a timeslip into the database. then have it fill in your username i nthe field and link to your profile.

I wrote a hack like this for my old phpBB forum. I'll see if I can re-do it for vBulletin when I get time. Or you can download it to see how it works with phpBB. That might point you in the right direction.

Seems very nice, what is this exactly used for?

You may need to add :

chdir('/forums'); to the code if it is outside of the forums directory;)

Hi,
Its used on automotive websites and allows members who drag race their cars to submit thier best timeslip info into thier profile, and then it ranks them by the quickest time on the included page.

Should be very easy to do the same thing with vBulletin since custom profile fields can be easily added in the Admin Control Panel. That luxury isn't availible with phpBB, so I had to add them manually.

I just changed to vBulletin from phpBB last week. So far I'm lovin' it! :)

That seems pretty easy to create, if no one has created it, I guess I will try to create it for you.

Sounds cool:)

Thats cool. :) I don't think anyone has done a hack like this for vBulletin. At least I've never heard of one. I'm sure it would be very popular with all the automotive vB forums.

Here's a site with my phpBB Timeslip Database installed to give you a better idea of what we use it for.
