Depends on the certificate issued (or the one you need)

phpVMS v7 is free, vmsACARS is not. phpVMS v7 and vmsACARS do work together out of the box, no extra effort or development is needed to start, this is the easiest way to use both. Only simple steps during installation is required, to start operations / testing phase. Rest will be customizing things and admin work. No, as far as I know, there are no refunds. Once you buy and activate your license it is yours forever. Also there are no demo or test packages for vmsACARS with limited capabilities, time restrictions etc. vmsACARS is designed to work with phpVMS v7, this is important. Therefore your question regarding implementing vmsACARS to your current setup is a complex task, depends on your knowledge and skills. Technically it is possible, what you need to make is in simple terms; Have a module or system which can enable communications between your current VA Management software and vmsACARS. As you will not be able to change the way vmsACARS works, you have to re-design your current software's backend, during this task you may need to alter how your old system operates. If you are using phpVMS v2x/5x (classic series), it is easy to upgrade to v7 (current) series but for other systems like VAM, VaBase etc it will not be that easy (maybe it may not be possible without loosing some abilities) You can enhance capabilities (backend) of phpVMS v7, also the visuals/skin/theme (frontend) can be customized. This again depends on your PHP + Laravel skill. Hope this helps, either way you need to inspect specs and requirements of phpVMS v7, compare it to your current hardware (server) and cross check its capabilities according to your current system. This is a time consuming and detailed task... Good luck and God speed.

Hello and good Sunday, yesterday and today i try again and the problem is gone. I update to the newest dev Version and open the Cosole on my browser and edit my htacces. And now is all okay i guess. Thank you for help.

This error is coming from the connection between ACARS and MSFS. You shouldn't have lost your flight progress, though. Which aircraft?

Each page is stored separately in the database. You can edit them thru the admin panel or (after backing up the database) directly using phpmyadmin - although it is safer via the admin panel. They are NOT stored in a file like they were in previous versions as far as I can tell.

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.

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

Forgive me my stupidity, but I am not a developer. I am an technical manager like sharepoint manager. So I know a tiny bit, and can read things. And make some scripts. But you are a champ. I did a couple of things. Make a copy of all the files. Create a PHPVMS foler on the toplevel and copy all files into there. Deleted all from public_html Copy the files from public into the root of public_html and got an server 500 error. But I learned from another tip you gave me, and deleted all under bootstrap/cache. And it worked. Then looked into the sending mail issue. It is nice that the host is putting a different portnumber on there helpdesksite and it does not work. 😉 So after fiddeling out that, I could send emails. Thank you for your great support. RobB

You can change the installation location or file locations without re-installing or deleting the database. Good luck

Installing methods did not changed, they were always same (only 1st and 2nd suggestion was swapped due to their usage frequency) ... Unfortunately, what you did is the worst and most unsecure method to install / run phpvms v7, and it was always like that. What your friend did back in time was one of the suggested methods and it is still ok to use v7. https://docs.phpvms.net/installation/uploading Hope this helps.

Same logic applies, nothing different Replace the files under phpvms folder of yours with the ones from latest dev (simply unpack latest dev in that folder), then copy over the public folder contents over your public_html folder.

Good news, glad you solved it. It is up to you, update or do a fresh install... Just use latest dev build, how you do it is just a choice for now. If you have nothing to lose, fresh install will be easy, but I would prefer updating to have some practice for future updates

Hi Rob, Technically either from discord or from this forum, downloading the latest dev (development) build is the best choice... Beta.5 is ok too but it had some nice bugfixes after release and latest dev is better than the beta.5 at the moment. Additionally, when you duplicate a theme (be it the default theme or an addon theme), you need to (this is a must) edit the theme.json and change the name, which needs to match the folder name you used. Only then it will be possible to use it and avoid any errors like you mentioned above. So considering the error in your hands; You need to either clean the application cache from admin > maintenance page or if you can not reach there too, then you need to delete the mentioned (bootstrap/cache/themes.php) file manually for it to be re-created with the corrected info. Hope this helps, good luck

Did you install phpVMS v7 beta 5 or the latest dev build from the discord releases channel? Did you clear the cache after changing any files and before setting the theme to other than default?

Award Importer v1.0 for phpvms_v7 If you want to import your awards and granted awards from phpvms_v5 to phpvms_v7, this will help you get everything done quickly as this process is not originally implemented. This script is intended to run after you have imported your data with the phpvms:importer and should not be used if your airline is already in production and running. >>> View on GitHub <<< What is part of the import? All awards including name, description, image URL, model parameter, active/inactive and time of creation All awards that pilots have already received including user ID, award ID and the day granted. Important The v5 and v7 database tables have to be in the same database All previous awards and granted awards will be deleted, to match user IDs You've to check your awards after the import, Award Class and Parameters are not possible to compare to v5 If you are using a different table prefix, you have to change it according to yours How to use Upload the "award_import_full.php" to your /public folder Open your browser and go to www.domain.com/award_import_full.php Do you have any suggestions or need help? Please use the GitHub issue tracker or this topic

Honestly... beta.4 ? It is almost 3 years old and how on earth are you able to use Dispo Basic with it, I never tested my addons with beta.4 and they were never designed to work properly with it Are you really on beta.4 or it was just a typo If this is not a typo, I would kindly and urgently advise to upgrade to at least beta.5 (I would say latest dev, but beta.5 is ok too), with module and themes being updated of course. Best wishes,

Why are you adding a new airport for an already existing real airport with a new non-standard (fake) icao code ? This is the main question. Just add LECH to your phpvms v7 database, either by lookup or manually then you can start using it with vmsAcars too. Good luck

Why wondering, just do it and do it as much as you want and whenever you want. Critical values are always saved in internal units (like pirep distances, weights, fuel etc) What you see at admin settings are for display only, like displaying the distances in km or displaying the fuel values in kg etc. Not for database operations. Enjoy

Never mind - just realised how > artisan phpvms recalculate-stats

Great news, we added that IATA code usage for testing but it is not finalized yet, so for now (until further notice) keep using ICAO codes Later on it will be possible to use IATA codes as like real airlines.

So i went into my database and KPVD was marked correctly, but i went into my flights .csv and found that KPVD was labeled as just PVD. After changing both the inbound and outbound flight to reflect KPVD the import went through successfully.

Pro Avia thanks for responding and oops i just noticed that, I am using phpVMS V7, i was able to sort it out though. I scoured all the threads regarding admin password losses and found a work around. I registered a new account, then using my phpadmin made that user the admin and owner. Once i logged in i changed the password for my original admin account, granted it admin/owner role again and deleted the second registered account. As i suspected when i changed my password i typed it wrong which led to the original issue. I can now access everything and proceed normally. The only thing i need to figure out now is why the rest password emails never went out for either account, tokens were generated but nothing was received. I'll have to look at the documentation for email and sit down and learn how to set that up. Thanks ADMIN EDIT - moved from v2,v5 forum to v7 forum

I solved the problem by opening the console - there was an extra + in the airport_search.blade.php file. Thank you so much for your help!!

I am using MsFs for all kinds of test flights with known addons, not even had one single crash related to vmsACARS... I am managing 3 different Virtual Airlines, and have lots of pilots using MSFS + vmsACARS, none of my pilots reported such CTD's and incompatibilities with vmsAcars. Really my rate is 0 (zero). Did you sent your vmsAcars logs to developer when those crashes happen along with MsFs crash details (event viewer or logs), did the problem is identified as 100% vmsAcars oriented or are you just guessing this ?

After restoring my site, getting my edits back the way I wanted for now, I backed it up and added acars module. then I followed your direction to the letter and it WORKED!!! Thank you! -Nacman

Follow duplication procedure... That simple it is, as explained in @ProAvia's post and is explained with examples in my readme files (subliminal message for reading the readme files) :) Duplication logic works for default theme too, so whatever theme (or my module blade files) you are playing on , duplication saves your life ;) Good luck and enjoy.

I understand. I was like a kid in a candy shop, been out of this for a while, when I saw phpvms, I was like saying to myself "Someone finally understood the need for a CMS like solution to online VA's". Being into this only 2 days, I had a steep curve in the beginning. I will not post code edits again, and as Proavia pointed out it was fixed already and I wasn't running latest code. Thanks! -Nacman

Considering v7 is open source and can be improved by contributing via GitHub I would kindly suggest NOT to share core code changes here in the forum. Instead if there is an issue within the latest dev, opening a bug report and fixing it with a pull request is the best solution. So then when a new build gets generated (believe me, it is something urgent this happens pretty quick), everyone following/using v7 dev versions can benefit and it will be less risky compared to editing files manually (or advising that). GitHub repository link is on the top menu https://docs.phpvms.net/installation/updating For best and quickest update (considering you do not have custom core file edits), replace item 4 with this; 4. Download latest dev (zip or tar.gz) package and upload it to your hosting via cPanel (or Plesk) file manager (or FTP), unpack using the same file manager and overwrite everything. (if you have edited core files, you may need to apply your changes back but be careful, double check your changes and replaced files, like a config file or .htaccess a service etc.) Safe flights

At a minimum, I always save my .env and .htaccess (I added ph0 version stuff to .htaccess). Follow the update instructions in the docs. FTP can be slow. I use cPanel, File Manafer, Upload. Upload the zip file and extract thru file manager. Only takes a few minutes.

Hi @DisposableHero, I have done some tests but {{ __('common.profile') }} is not working either. However, I solved this creating a module per section. Thanks for your help!

I am working on converting it to work with the db for v7

oh lol i just realised that, my bad and all good

This is for legacy (v2/v5), not for v7 as far as I know and as you can see it is published under phpVMS Classic section of the forum. Good luck

I had to clear the cache at the server side. (php artisan cache:clear) The statistics still had the old values and now it works Thanks

Great news then @SKD I will check the status field from v5 data and provide a solution for v7 too (not for you anymore but for future Legacy Imports). Enjoy v7 Side Note: Status should be ARR (ARRIVED) for v7 pireps, it is designed like that. When a pirep is finalized/closed by the pilot, it gets this status. So we should set this for imported pireps, even if they are rejected, they should be arrived. Thanks for sharing your findings on this.

Ok i fill my database again and start the migration. I will write back until the migration is done.

Did somebody claimed that being an admin would be fun (or not boring, not time consuming) ? You are trying to go the same path with some others, I should not do anything, everything should be automatic, why I am working for this etc. etc. Then I would ask the above question After all, you can have some code to auto reject pireps by comparing planned (scheduled) flight times with actual flight times (side questions; what will happen to free flights, flights without simbrief plans to precisely check times, flights planned for different aircraft types). In the end, this will have side effects though, then you will work to fix the mis-identified ones 'cause a code will never know the difference between sandbagging and real holding (as it is not an AI with tons of resources). It will only look to your schedule and reject a non matching pirep. And when this happens, you will come here again to ask for another feature for inspecting and identifying, correcting those to reduce your workload Still my advise is same, punish and fire them, this will greatly reduce sandbaggers and you will have a clean roster after a while. Safe flights

thank you very much for your help, that fixed it. Now we can start testing it.

Please check readme https://github.com/FatihKoz/DisposableTheme#customizing-va-logo-images-and-menu-items https://github.com/FatihKoz/DisposableTheme#readme

No, there is not.

It's ok i managed it

Thanks for the logic!! To be continued.....

Great news, enjoy your theme and new module

That did the trick. Changed VATSIM to VATSIM ID as the name in the settings in order to match the theme.json file. If I had half your brain, I could rule the world LOL. Thanks for the help.

Magic!! LoL Thanks for the assistance, I had not cleared the cache.

@servetas hasn't visited the forum here in over a year. Maybe tagging him here will solicit a visit and response.

Airac 2305 Data only, just import it into your db like normal

Be advised, there may be people approaching you with some claims about installation, customization, special custom coding etc. Double check what you need and what they offer, do not spend your money without clear agreements and proper investigation. We (the users of v7 and vmsAcars) witnessed lots of bad experiences about (so called) "developers" not following licenses, not fulfilling customer needs and forcing you to use something different/old they already have in their hands. Again, good luck
