What does the log says ? You need to share it to get support I am trying to help one of your friends, probably the admin for the same error. Simply your server is not accepting requests (according to the log your friend provided), so if you can share your log, which can be found on acars/logs folder, we can have a look and compare it for similarities.

here is my current settings page

So my VA has recently switched from vamsys to phpvms. At first, i was able to use the acars normally but after 2 days i encountered a problem with it saying that i hadn't entered ICAO code and showing the boxes yellow even though it was full. And now a new issue has risen with the acars showing that i am not logged in even though the crew site and my API key were both there. This just also occurred with the VA owner and we can't find a fix. Any help would be appreciated.

Simple logic to see what is needed is to create a manual pirep or check an acars pirep directly from the database, then you can prepare your old data to match the new fields and import via some sql queries. Or of course you can write a custom module, utilizing laravel features to make it more complex if you wish. Most important things is the data units, flight (pirep) times are in minutes and all weight / fuel values are in pounds (lbs) for phpvms v7 database (regardless what you select for display). Also you may need to match your old pilot id's in those pireps with new user_id's you have in your system (don't mix them up with idents, I am talking about the real database indexed id numbers of users) Then you may need to match your old airline codes with your new airline_id's to have more matches / reflecting details. You can probably use the same timestamps for created_at, submitted_at, updated_at fields of v7, it will not harm the system but if you have detailed times you can use them too (created_at is the time a flight is started, submitted_at is the the it gets filed etc.) Pirep type (manual/acars), pirep state, pirep status can be same for all these imported all pireps. In theory if you can match the pilot id's with their old pireps, nightly cron can re-calculate their pirep counts and times according to that data (pilots will be happy). What you will lose is financial details of those pireps (can be done if you want to go that deep but I think this is not important compared to the pirep itself), and detailed acars data (like logs, flown points etc) you may have in that old system. Good luck

Hi, I know this question is 5 years old. However, It would be very useful to get a list of required fields to be imported into MySQL. From IBEva, we also have the data exports about the former system we are still using. We can eventually do some ETL on this data and transform it to the same format as required by PHPvms 7. I know that Fleets, Pilots, and other types of data could be imported successfully using CSV. However, we know that this option is not available for Pireps. Is there any proper method to import this data into the system using a proper Laravel class to do this? Or the only valid method to import the data is writing the data directly into the database as a db import? Also, putting data directly into the Pireps table would not affect calculations for hour count for each pilot and also for fleets.

No worries. I will do some digging to see what I did wrong somewhere else. Thanks for your time. I really appreciate it.

Well then there is something else is going wrong, I know it works as designed by defining your route code there

I tried to edit the prefix in the Module Admin and it gave me an error, stating that there was an issue in line 16. This made my dashboard display a server error. The log confirmed line 16 so I changed the variable to be hard coded instead of using from the module admin and that seemed to solve the issue

Technically there is/was no need to edit the widget itself, the event "route code" is defined at module admin area and it works both for API endpoint and Event Widget. No need to edit/alter line 16 of the widget controller as it simply reads the above definition.

Care to share exactly what you edited for other users that may want to do the same?

Got this working. Had to edit line 16 of the events module to hard code a prefix, and it worked.

for this moment i have solved the error by donloading w new acats from my virtual side. and installed over/in the already installed acars/map

Good Evening. Would someone be able to explain to me how the events widget works and how I can create a page showing all the events upcoming. I have read and tried to understand the API key, and what goes where, but I just don't understand it, so a quick guide on how to set up events using this module would be awesome. Thanks for your help!

It should hopefully be fixed in the next version

Understood. Just to be clear, I like PHPVMS and gives me what I need. (I checked other tools too, that do the same a year ago, but I decided to continue with v7 after v2 and v5) I just wanted to make the startingpage a bit better and easier to maintain by other staffmembers. But I can live with it by maintaining the frontpage myself, as it is not being changed that much. Thanks for the advice.

Hello Everyone, I am very pleased to announce that my latest contributions to the phpVMS ecosystem are now available on the Cardinal Horizon GitHub. First, CHTrips! CHTrips is a module that can be a few things packed into one package. It's the first module I would say would be considered a "framework" module. For End Users, Trips is a robust free flight system that allows for tracking of progress on a sequence of flights. Users can quickly create a sequence of flights in your system (that are hidden) that are related to one another. For Developers, (Coming Soon) Trips's robust database schema, events, and services, will provide a framework to allow developers to rapidly build Tours, Events, or Missions systems! Using CHTrips alongside your own module ensures that phpVMS performance isn't lost by multiple plugins conflicting with PIREP events, or other sections of the system. CHTrips can be found here: https://github.com/cardinalhorizon/CHTrips Second, CHPirepSS! CHPirepSS is a very simple module, with a very simple feature: Allow for PIREPs to be converted from ACARS to Manual. Has your community ever encountered an issue where ACARS crashes in a unrecoverable state, and you instruct your pilot to file a Manual PIREP? Well, why not simply convert the PIREP that's already in the database and has telemetry data, into a manually filed one? No more duplicate PIREPs because of software being software! CHPirepSS contains a very simple widget meant to be placed in your manual pirep creation screen. Imaged below is a example: CHPirepSS can be found here: https://github.com/cardinalhorizon/CHPirepSS For both of my modules, I am very interested in your feedback. If you wish to do so, please feel free to open an Issue on either repository. Thank you for your support!

So you want a "landing page", preferably outside of phpvms v7 namespace, something like a wordpress website which you can edit as you wish. It may not be that easy to achieve, because v7 "pages" system is not designed for that purpose. You can still have it by some tricks and injection logic of laravel but I am not sure that it will give you the best results out of the box. At minimum, you may need a modified app.blade.php which will be used only for that home.blade.php, and in that home.blade you can load a "page" created at admin side by (or maybe you can load more as per your design needs). And then display it without escaping html special chars, so it can be displayed as designed in a WYSIWYG editor. Or you can have a real landing page, with any CMS you like to use (like WP or Joomla etc) and have your phpvms v7 located under a subdomain like many of VA's around. Imagine https://phpvms.net (landing site) and https://demo.phpvms.net (phpvms v7) Good luck

what I want is a frontpage, with public access without login and some text, images, lets say info. And the content/body should be extracted out of a page that was created in the admin, under pages. Only 1 one page, so the info is easy to edit in a html environment, instead of editing the php page with html elelements. Not specific for me, but other admins, are not good at html. I know HTML/CSS. RobB

As I wrote in my first reply, it all depends on what you want to achieve, the method will then become relevant... I would not recommend running connections and sql queries inside blade files but in the end it is your va and install, it will be up to you Good luck.

Ow. Confused. I know html, but an iframe will show evertything including the header and footer, which is not what I want. I tried this SQL command, which is showing the body in mysql, but it simply prints the command in my html. I tried to understand Laravel and Curl, but it is not giving me what I want. So I tried some php and sql, but that did not work either. $sql = "SELECT body FROM `pages`\n" . "where id=\"1\";"; But thanks for trying to point out/help. RobB

Try using html / iframe or with some php (and laravel) knowledge you can read data with curl (or guzzle) and then process it or you can place widgets to that home.blade.php once and then forget it completely. It all depends what you need and how you want to do it but most of the time anything is possible. Good luck

I have created a copy of the default layout, and I ask myself if it is possible to add news and read out a specific page(s) so that I can edit them via the admin module instead of constantly changing the home.blade.php? I managed to put the latest news items there via {{ Widget::latestNews(['count' => 3]) }} But I wonder how to read out a page. Thanks ahead. RobB

Ihave the about the same issu , at the end of the flighy after ,end flight and send pirep , msfs crash. when start msfs the next time it ask start normal orin safe mode. using an other acars fron other virtual no problems. in windows event/error logs i see a error for couatl .exe(gsx) and fsuipc.exe. where can i find the acars log.

I am not a developer either So we are same, in fact you can be better than me (considering your technical knowledge on Sharepoint), I am an OCC Manager of a real airline, just doing all these virtual aviation stuff and development as a hobby to somehow clear my mind from daily workload What you did was the correct way to be honest, you only missed the cache stuff in the beginning but solved it after getting the server error. Glad to hear that you solved the mail stuff too, in that part, we really can not help people much as it is 99% of the time custom and not generic stuff to advise easily. Enjoy your updated and moved v7
