This is the changelog for the next update. I've decided to post it now since it's basically "feature complete", except for a few minor things. It'll be in "testing mode" for the next couple weeks or so, I'm aiming to release at the end of January, if there are no major "blockers". I don't think I missed anything but it'll be revised when it's released. Enjoy! - Changelog updated changelog.htm

Everything should be back up and working. If not, wait a little while. The DNS may not have propagated yet (there's a ton of subdomains). Thanks

Atlassian has granted phpVMS a license to their Jira bug tracker. The old bug tracker (Trac), was starting to get spammed. Those of you who have account on Trac might be receiving an email about an account being setup, so don't be alarmed. I am just moving the data over to the new tracker. As a result of this, any add-on developers who also want a 'project' under this new tracker system can apply for one, and I will set you up with a project under it, as a Project Manager with it. The advantage being that it makes it much easier for phpVMS users to report bugs and get resolutions, and allowing you to streamline your own efforts and not have to find, setup, and manage your…

Hi all, fivedev/phpVMS hosting is now officially starting an affiliate program - you get 7% of every referral, with a payout of $25. You also get a $5 bonus for signing up. Top referrals in every month will get a month free hosting. The servers have also been upgraded to PHP 5.3, and given more of a kick in terms of RAM and CPU. So, check it out! http://www.fivedev.net In phpVMS news, the bug tracker has been moved to github, and more of the project is being moved there, to allow more community involvement in the direction and development. As I've said always, it will remain completely open-source. vaCentral - a few changes have been implemented, mainly, any airlines …

The forum was hacked just after a DDOS attack on the server Saturday night and I thought the database had just been deleted which I restored from a backup from June 28th. What I did not realize that in the process of destroying the forum database the InnoDB engine on the mySql server was corrupted as well, which in turn corrupted almost every InnoDB table on the server. Drive volumes were also damaged in the attack. With so many sites experiencing issues with database corruption I had no choice today but to rebuild the MySql server and restore all databases from the June 28th backup. This includes the forum and VACentral. Any data that was recorded between June 28th and …

Hey, A few critical patches in this one, run the update.php I had stopped manually doing patches, and replaced it with a build script (automatically checking versions, patching files, and just using test-cases), leaving bugs in there for the last update. There were a few database changes as well, so this was not completely checked in the auto build. The first releases were tight in how they handled data, but now with all your feedback, that needs to be loosened a bit, so it's just going through growing pains... Stay tuned this week and next since I'm issuing patches fairly quickly with bug fixes as soon as I find them. There's going to be quite a bit more Q&A from …

Hey everyone, This is probably a weekly to a few times a week writing gig, not paid. It'll be for the vaCentral blog - just basically handling VA, flight sim, and aviation related news. I really want this to be a central point for the community. This will look good on a resume - phpVMS is a high-traffic site, and with the introduction of vaCentral, your writing will be exposed to a-lot of viewers and traffic. It'll be pretty open-ended - reviews, VA news, publishing press-releases, analyzing some trends and stuff, and also being a liaison to the community. I can't handle this portion by myself. Let me know if you have some interest, prior experience will rock. I'm open…

The project wiki page is located at:http://www.phpvms.net/wiki/homeThis will be more populated as we decide on details, and other aspects of the project. This will remain as the "defacto" resource, also for people who would want to tinker with the code to customize, or for people who would be interested in writing modules (more information to come on this later).Project specs, etc, are all listed here, as they'll be used to guide us during the project.It's left as "read-only" for general users.Unfortunately, phpBB doesn't have an RSS function, so we encourage you to also sign up on the mailing list. We will use it to post new announcements, though they'll also be cross po…

Hey everyone, This past week's release has been bad. Tons of bugs cropping up, and it will be fixed by this weekend, most of them are fixed right now... just doing rigorous testing on it. I've setup 3 test areas that they move through. The reason for it was a problem with the place my code is stored. The server was corrupted, and my newer code ended up being replaced by some older code. I though I had fixed all the problems, but my automated build tools did not have test units for some of the basic functions, which were also reverted to older versions. My build tools are supposed to update my main testing server. They did not, so I didn't notice most of the issues which…

Hey everyone, 1.1.458 is available on the downloads page. It's been going under heavy testing, and all the issues from past have been fixed. * Added page encoding option * Added option for changing pilot ID length * Added option to change signature text color * Admin can edit PIREPS * Some admin reports added (more to come) * FSACARS bug fixes - follow the instructions in the docs * Admin panel styles cleaned up * Bug fixes (alot of em!) Some notes : If a PIREP is not showing up, or the aircraft is blank, edit the pirep to include the aircraft. Because of the switch to registration numbers, some PIREPs did not "cross over" to include them. …

After a few months of long work, over 120 revisions and code check-ins, I’m proud to say the latest version of phpVMS has been released! Some of the new things you’ll find: * Revamped admin panel * Complete financials * FSPax export support * Download manager * Numerous requests and improvements I would highly recommend reading the changelog, and the update guide, to wrap around all of the improvements and changes. There are many little pieces. As usual, post any questions in the forums. Thanks to everyone who’s been helping with the bug testing and reports! Over 25 VA’s participated in testing in one way or another, which was pretty awesome! E…

I'm moving to The Planet this week, and bringing a dedicated database server online, in anticipation for vaCentral, and phpVMS growing. So there might be some sporatic downtime over the next week or so.

It's finally open! I've opened up registrations for everyone running beta build 821 or later. There still might be some issues, but I guess that's the purpose of a beta. I'm still adjusting many things, including the rankings, but the data exports, etc, should all be working. Enjoy the friendly competition The site is: http://beta.vacentral.net There's also a dedicated board towards the bottom of the page, enter any issues there. Thanks!

I'm moving phpVMS to github: http://github.com/nshahzad/phpVMS It shouldn't make too much of a difference, except now it'll be easier for me to manage since now you can more easily fork and develop. For instance, you can do: git clone http://github.com/nshahzad/phpVMS.git phpvms Which will create the latest phpVMS in the "phpvms" folder, and you can work on your phpVMS install as normal (not modifying any core files). But when updating comes (for things like betas), to update, you can simply: cd phpvms git pull And it will automatically download and update that phpVMS copy to the latest one, and you just have to run the install/update.php file. Some cool…

I have had a few emails in regards to members profiles being deleted and hope this explains the why and how; there was over 33,000 users in the database, the vast majority were spam signups and it was just weighing on the speed of the forum. I deleted all the users that never posted anything in the forum, and that had no login activity on the site since January 1st, 2014. Meeting one condition or the other kept your profile in the system. No one that ever posted on the site was deleted and if you had logged in since January 1st, 2015 your profile was not deleted. I am sorry if you did not meet these conditions and now noticed your profile gone, but never posting and not …

Hello all, A few years ago I started a virtual airline search engine, and quite a few of you joined up for it. Now I've reworked the website and added quite a few new features to www.virtualairlines.eu You can now submit your schedules and pireps to virtualairlines.eu with the same API you use for vacentral, It takes literally 5 minutes to change and you get the following benefits: Have your flight stats included with your listing in the search engine, to show how active your airline is. A free fuel API, so you can display your fuel data on your pilot briefing (costs 20 bucks elsewhere) Contribute to the biggest schedule database, where pilots ca…

Hi all, To add a bit of organization to the modules madness, module/addon authors can add their modules to the downloads section above. It'll automatically create a topic in the Addon forum as well. If you have a bunch of add-ons you'd like grouped together, shoot me a message, and I can create a sub-category for you and restrict the uploads only to you.

Hi everyone! After many months of work, the first alpha is available. Download: https://github.com/nabeelio/phpvms/releases Docs: http://docs.phpvms.net Do note that at least PHP 7.0 is required, with htaccess and mod_rewrite enabled by your host. Right now, the main focus is ensuring the installer works on a variety of hosts, and all the basics are working as expected. Suggestions to make skinning, modules, widgets, and documentation updates are all welcome - please post in the appropriate subforum in the 7.0 section of the forum. Bugs, etc, can be posted in the #development channel on Discord, though I will likely ask you to create issues in the…
