Hi all, A question which I am sure has been asked and answered but here goes..... How do all you fellow VA owners attract pilots My VA angelair currently has 9 pilots which I would like to increase of course. where do you go to advertise? are VA's in alliance with each other which helps? or is my website not up to scratch if not what do I need to change to make it more attractive? thanks Scott

Ok, so in the main. tab via admin, you'll find this: php -f /home/.../public_html/admin/maintenance.php (... for my sanity) Cpanel cron setup: Minute Hour Day Month Weekday 02:00 * * * Except one final part: Cron field not formatted correctly. So, learning from my mistakes, I went in search of that it meant. For those that aren't tech savy, the minute place must have something there. Can't be blank. Just thought I'd share.

I know I know, someone's sure to say I'm asking too many questions :-P Anyhow, is there a way to integrate or add in the SMF forums ssi? I'd rather post news in the forums and have them show up on the website (instead of the built in news). I've tried and I get a ssi error. Go ahead and yell at me for it, but I added the require ssi.php to the htmlhead.tpl and the code for the board on the frontpagemain.tpl . I'm not going to run it, cause as I said, it throws an error and I'd really like my website up instead of the error. Thanks ya'll.

Something that might be quick and easy: (I hope it is) Is there a way to group awards ( or add groups) to later sort them out?

Is anyone else using IPBoard, like the one here. I am having trouble with the latest post on my main site. Their SSI is really bad. The other option is to use their IP Content module. I don't want to spend another $50, for IP COntent. Doeas someone have a script to show the latest post from my board to display on my main page?

Ok, This morning, I logged into my VA and I got the error when I go into my VMS Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' to database 'njva' And then, WTF! I log into my phpMyAdmin and I don't have any access to my njva databases or others. I had like 12 databases but now I don't have any access databases. Now I went into the privileges tab, and then I got the error No Privileges Now seriously, I can't lose those databases. Can anyone help me please. Thanks.

I was looking at VA reports and I noticed that it says to use % for wildcard. Can anyone tell me what this does and how to use it? I tried a couple different things and it tossed errors all over the place at me. Thanks. Ray

Pontchartrain Virtual Airlines-Help Wanted Two and a half years ago I came up with an idea to develop a virtual airline that would work as a business lab for my high school Free Enterprise students. In that time Nabeel has worked very patiently with me to help me bring this idea into reality. Hence I owe him a debt of thanks that I wish to make public here. Moreover, Pontchartrain Virtual Airlines would not even be on the drawing board without Nabeel’s help, guidance and understanding. The Readers Digest explanation of the concept is as follows. When the VA goes on line, it will be as though it were the early 1950’s. As a result we will fly the DC-3 only. I have a …

Hey guys, as we are a business va we don't need a scheduling system in which you have to fill in a detailed departure and arrival time. Our pilots should be free in their choice of day and time. Is there any module which solves the problem that you have to fill in the date and time? All we need is a date on which the flight should at the latest be done. Hope you know what I mean! And is it possible that our pilots can create a schedule on their own, so that the pilots can book exactly the flights they wanna fly? Thanks!

We have numerous flights in our database. The flight numbers are generated by us, but occasionally a pilot may want to fly a trip using an historical timetable. How can he submit a pirep using a flight number that may not be in my database? Is it possible? Thanks!

I'm new to the web site business, having previously hosted a web site at iPage, the web hosting site for dummies. Now that I'm moving our web site to FiveDev/PHPvms, I'd like to learn more about hosting the site. For example, what is an SQL? How do I access my database? My question here is, what would be a good reference book for learning basics like these? David Reed Historic Airline Group

Anyone here ever attempted to use the time tables from Ultimate traffic for their airline? My test site is a mirror of a real world airline who has since been taken over by another airline. I used Ultimate traffic to generate time tables for all of their flights as of 2003. Now that particular airline only had a very small number of aircraft and a very large schedule system. I am trying to figure out how in the hell they could possibly pull off that many flights per day using 12 of one type of aircraft and 9 of another type. I know some of the routes were out sourced. The time tables I got were figured without any partner airlines though. Was just curious if anyone ha…

Fellas, I am in a world of hurt here. I am taking a class on VB and personally I hate it. I have a project to do that has to do with using constants, functions and sub procedures. It is due by tonight (Tuesday) at 11:59 pm EST If there is anyone at all who knows VB and would not mind helping me out, I would REALLLLLLLY appreciate it. The project is all over the net, but the code to me is useless because I do not know if it is right or wrong and if I do not name my buttons and such exactly like they did, the code will not work anyhow. I am in a real bind here and rarely to never ask for help doing my school work. Taking this course on VB made me realise something REAL …

Hi all. I read a while back that someone has on their site a live ACARS stats on their home page much like the newest pilot banner on top of the home page. I have searched and searched and can not find it. I think with old age setting in on me my search skills are starting to slip on me. To be exact, what this code did was give a list of everyone who is actively doing an ACARS flight on the VA website. Not Vatsim or IVAO or anything, it was just who is connected to your site via an acars device. Thanks for helping me in the right direction. And feel free to give me a virtual slap for slacking on the search skills.

Hi, I am now at the point where I would like to create a repaint for my VA. For which I would like to use Photoreal to get a good fleet. My question is does anyone know where I might find a step by step guide to creating a repaint. Or know someone who would do it for me.? Here is a repaint I done which for a first attempt I thought was ok. It took me around 5 hours to produce this and I know it is not great, hence the reason for the request. Anyway take a look let me know what you think. VA Repaint Cheers Scott

Hello there, We have a system where pilots can submit schedules that they wish to add to our databases. They are then validated and added by one of the admins. Given that I know the pilot's ID is there a built in function/class that will allow me to send the pilot an email with i.e. "Hi there, your schedule request was accepted and added" Of course, there is the long way of sending an email with PHP, but phpvms has so many built in features, I am wondering if a mailing feature is also present.

Hi Guys, I have a question about the "mod_rewrite" in phpVMS. I'm not sure if I can call it exactly that, because I know that Apache's mod_rewrite makes site.com/page/cookies refer to site.com/index.php?page=cookies I was wondering how the URL system in phpVMS works such that i.e. www.site.com/index.php/pilots refers to www.site.com/core/modules/pilots/pilots.php Furthermore is there a way to manipulate this such that i.e. www.site.com/pilots has the same effect as www.site.com/index.php/pilots Cheers, Nout
