I am excited to announce the release of my custom phpVMSv7 theme! I created this theme because I know that not everyone has the budget for an expensive custom design, and I want to support the community by providing a high-quality, modern, lightweight and efficient, accessible alternative. SPTheme is fully customizable and designed with privacy in mind, as it contains no external content and is 100% GDPR-compliant. It features a built-in admin module, allowing for easy management, and includes both dark and light mode for a flexible user experience. To enhance functionality, SPTheme offers live network statistics and a "Who is Online" display, ensuring users always stay informed. Additionally, a registration exam mode allows for extra verification of new pilots. For added convenience, the package includes 42+ placeholder images, making it easy to set up a visually appealing site. With multi-language support and over 226 translatable additional phrases, the theme is ready to be used worldwide. And that’s not all—there are even more features and enhancements included to provide a seamless experience. I hope SPTheme helps virtual airlines achieve a professional and modern look without high costs. More details are available at https://shop.sass-projects.dev. Check also the live demo for additional information and feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

SPTransfer v1.8 for phpvVMS7 I know, the basic system allows pilots to change their HUB from the profile settings page. But if you want a little bit more variety and interaction with your pilots and finances and want to disable the freedom of changing HUBs every time, than this module is for you. This module provides an admin page where you can work on all requests including settings for the price per request and block time between multiple requests. >>> View on GitHub <<< Do you have any suggestions or need help?

As you may have noticed, phpVMS v7 comes with built in SimBrief API integration and aircraft can be configured in some different ways to achieve better planning results. Below you can find some key instructions and settings with their effects. Main Requirement is a valid SimBrief API key, to get one kindly check SimBrief documents (website/support forum) and complete your application, when you have your key ready, just insert it in settings. While waiting for your API key you can define your Subfleets and Aircraft as below; Subfleet Definitions; Here only important field is "SimBrief Type", when it is defined it will be used for all aircraft under this subfleet. And it simply overwrites the Aircraft ICAO code during planning. If your pilots are using only one simulator (like X-Plane) and only one aircraft addon for this subfleet (like Zibo), then you can simply add your Zibo B737-800X SimBrief Airframe ID here at this field. Aircraft Definitions; This is the most important part, as it allows fine tuned planning compared to a generic subfleet airframe definition. As you can see, we do have the same "SimBrief Type" field here too. This affects only the aircraft, and has priority over the subfleet definition. So if you have a really specific SimBrief Airframe for a particular aircraft and want it to be the default, then you can enter the id here. (Also it is possible to use this field as a replacement ICAO code. Imagine you are using an Airbus CEO but want this aircraft to use Airbus NEO standards at SimBrief, so you define A321 as the ICAO code, but use A21N as the SimBrief Type.) FIN, SELCAL and HEX CODE (ICAO 24-bit, transponder identification code) are optional and have no direct effect on the flight plan you will generate but the weights below are important. When defined, these weights are passed to SimBrief for flight planning purposes, so better define them according to the aircraft you are trying to simulate within phpVMS. You can see that the DOW is empty (0) in the example, this is not a mistake but done on purpose. You will see it later. Using SimBrief Airframes (sb airframes) ; phpVMS is able to get and store all publicly available SimBrief Airframes / SimBrief Layouts during install and update them weekly (with cron), also it is possible for admins to manually trigger an update whenever they wish to. Also it is possible to add your own / custom airframes to the system easily. As like SimBrief itself, airframe definitions are "ICAO Code" based, once you define and save your custom airframe at SimBrief, you can simply copy the airframe ID and add it to phpVMS by giving it a nice looking unique name and the aircraft ICAO type code you wish to use. Also, if you do not want to use the built in SimBrief airframes and have only your custom airframes listed, then you need to enable the respective setting from Admin > Settings. This logic also applies to passenger and baggage weights being used for planning. Imagine you have an airframe definition (either created by you, or a public one provided by SimBrief), using 100 kg for passengers and 20 kg for their bags. But you do not want to use those weights because you have some custom weights for scheduled/non-scheduled flights, even better you control your baggage weights per airport with some custom code etc. Then you need to enable the respective setting to pass in your weights to SimBrief. How does it work, how is the priority logic defined ? Why the DOW is empty in the example ? Subfleet SimBrief Type = Empty Aircraft SimBrief Type = Empty Aircraft ICAO Code = A321 Aircraft DOW = Empty Aircraft MLW = Empty SimBrief Provided Airframes = Fenix A321 IAE, Fenix A321 CFM, ToLiss A321, Your Custom A321 As you know, each addon aircraft have their own basic empty weights and mostly they are hard coded (for SimBrief it is the DOW - Dry Operating Weight / OEW - Operating Empty Weight). So we leave it empty, to be able to use the DOW from SimBrief Airframe definitions. When planning, the dropdown will show you 5 items, the list is above and there will be a "SimBrief Default" entry (which is the basic definitions of SB). If you select Fenix A321 IAE, then its DOW will be used, along with its performance definitions (like fuel factor, engine thrust rating and others), equipment etc. But the weights you defined will be sent to SimBrief to overwrite those values. If you do not select one, it is ok too as the defaults provided by SimBrief along with the data you are sending (like weights and other stuff) will be used. But if you are after precise flight planning, then it is better to either have your main types defined at SimBrief and a matching airframe should be selected. Subfleet SB Type > Aircraft SB Type > Selected Airframe > Aircraft specific details (like weights, SELCAL, HEX, FIN, VA specific custom RMK field) With this order and logic you can have base airframes for your fleet, like PMDG B738, Zibo B738, LevelUp B738 (same example can be extended to Fenix, ToLiss, Aerosoft, Flight Factor group) and then define aircraft specific changes at phpVMS because in a fleet some aircraft have different MZFW or MLW's but they do share the generic specifications. Like a B738 can have 79013, 77000 or 75000 KG MTOW depending on the certification, instead of defining different airframes at SimBrief, you can simply pass that info during planning. Recent changes at SimBrief allow pilots to have precise performance calculations, specific limitations and if certified some nice ETOPS abilities, to be able to use them with phpVMS, defining airframes at SimBrief and using their ID's during planning will be the best option (considering some items still not available at api access, this method will eliminate those cases too). Climb / Cruise / Descent Profiles and Layout Options All these are also obtained from SimBrief and tied to Aircraft ICAO type codes, so when you select an A321 from your fleet to generate a flight plan, you will see the profiles SimBrief offer for that type in general. Additionally the layout is automatically selected if an airline match is found, if not SimBrief Default (LIDO) is used. What about General Aviation and Really Custom Airframe Support GA is supported by SimBrief up to a point, so we do have the same, even though the examples above are based on airliners, logic remains same for GA aircraft too. And you can still define your custom (non-existing airframe at SimBrief) as per their documentation, have a profile for it and use it at phpVMS. Considering that nothing offered by SimBrief, your custom airframe will be the only option at the dropdown. Hope this help, safe flights.

Note: If you own all packages then please note the update order! SPTheme -> DBPack -> DSPack 11.MARCH.25 (v1.2.2 / 1.2.2 / v1.3.1) Some minor fixes for the award-widget, userrole and pireps table (v1.2.2 SPTheme) Changed blades for Hub/Airline Transfer v1.8 module (v1.2.2 SPTheme) Changed menu links for Hub/Airline Transfer v1.8 module (v1.3.1 DSPack) Changed menu links for Hub/Airline Transfer v1.8 module (v1.2.2 DBPack)

Thanks, everything worked smoothly after deletion 🙂

SPTransfer v1.3 for phpvVMS7 Thanks to ProAviaAZ, for the suggestions. Added an option for different charge types Added a widget for showing pending requests

Hey, first I want to mention that this is not a personal commercial promotional post. My goal is simply to encourage people to explore and use phpVMS 7. It's a powerful platform with great customization options for virtual airline management. Yes, I have a lot of experience but nothing is impossible. Creating themes and designs for phpVMS version 7 with Laravel offers great flexibility without needing WordPress for custom homepages. Since phpVMS is built on Laravel, you can leverage modern tools to craft unique, responsive designs directly within the platform. Themes are built using Blade, Laravel's templating engine, which allows for easy separation of logic and presentation. This makes it simple to create reusable layouts, such as headers and footers. Additionally, you can integrate CSS frameworks like Bootstrap or Tailwind to ensure the design is mobile-friendly and visually appealing. For dynamic features, JavaScript libraries such as jQuery or Vue.js can be added, enhancing interactivity. Laravel also supports efficient asset management with tools like Webpack or Laravel Mix, optimizing CSS and JavaScript files for performance. Overall, phpVMS 7 allows for full customization of both the homepage and the entire user interface, eliminating the need for external systems like WordPress. The flexibility of Laravel ensures that you can create engaging and functional themes directly within phpVMS. As I am a long-time user of phpvms version 5 I know how similar virtual airlines are designed, so I want to show just a few different examples, of how different your work can be end.

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!

Hi, yeah I can add a failsafe this isn't a problem, but the source of this, like Disposable already said, is a missing or deleted flight. I'll send you the files tomorrow,

Hi @IFL442, Of course I know the error, it is generic one and the logic of it is already posted in "most common errors" topic. Basically it says that you have a problem in your assignments (like a deleted / missing flight) and that blade of SPTheme is missing a failsafe. Just check line 27 of SPTheme/modules/DisposableSpecial/widgets/assignments.blade.php and if possible try renaming that file (which will allow the default blade I shipped with DispoSpecial to be used). If the error comes up with my original blade, I can try to debug but if it is only happening on the modified ones shipped by @PaintSplasher, he may need to investigate too {{ optional($as->flight->dpt_airport)->name ?? $as->flight->dpt_airport_id }} This is from my original blade, it checks for the airport and uses its name, if not it uses the dpt_airport_id. But before all these optional stuff I do have a generic @if($as->flight) check, which eliminates deleted / missing flights. Looks like SPTheme version may be missing this. Unfortunately I do not see that generic check in SPTheme version of the blade. Either you may need to wait for Thorsten to publish an update or you can replicate my wider check manually on that blade too. https://github.com/FatihKoz/DisposableSpecial/blob/main/Resources/views/widgets/assignments.blade.php Hope this helps

This is a vmsACARS item - it doesn’t belong in phpVMS v2/v5 Support section. it belongs in phpVMS 7, vmsACARS forum. I’ll move it as a one time courteously - please use the correct forum moving forward. Additionally, when needing to post more than a few lines of a log file, upload the log file and provide a link in the forum. It is difficult to read a long log in the forum itself.

Hi, this question is the most asked one and with the SimBrief improvements we have in v7 this matter become critical ... Here you can find the basics about the logic and how to setup your fares/subfleets/flights properly. 1. Main Fares You can define your fares in admin/fares. These will be your main fare types, which will then be used in your subfleets or flights. The main idea here is to define only the basics, so you can change them later when needed. Think fares like the seats in your plane (or cargo space), which can be sold as tickets. They are not in flight services or extended service types like WiFi, Hot Meals, Extra Snacks, Economy Premium or Economy Basic, they are just Economy seats you have. So lets start; Economy (Y) Business (J) First Class (F) Cargo (CGO) These are the main fare groups commonly found in airliners, so start with Economy. When you are at admin/fares click Add New, and enter the info as described below Code : Y Name : Economy Type : Passenger ( for Cargo Fares type must be Cargo as expected ) Price : 100 Cost : 25 Capacity : EMPTY / NULL ( Leave it empty, do NOT try writing EMPTY to that field ) Notes : Fill as you wish Active : Checked and click save ... In simple terms we will gain 75 Usd/Eur/Pound (currency comes from your settings) from each passenger 'cause there is an operating cost of a seat. Repeat the steps for rest if you wish. Why we left Capacity empty ? I will explain it later but for now we are just defining our base fares, so no need to have capacities here. 2. SubFleet Fares Assuming you already have at least one subfleet, which is mandatory in v7. We can explain their logic later if necessary. Head up to admin/fleets and click edit one of your subfleets, or just create one and save (so you will be able to see the details). Scroll down a little bit and you will see Fares section there and it is probably empty. This is the area where we "assign" and "adjust" our main fares which will be used for this subfleet. Click on Select Fare, you will see your defined main fares there. Select Economy and click Add. Now the fare is assigned to this subfleet and you will see it above values like below; Name : Economy Code : Y Type : Passenger Capacity : inherited () Price : inherited (100) Cost : inherited (25) This is where v7 magic begins ... I will use an Airbus A320 with only economy class seats as my basic aircraft type. Click on the inherited text under capacity column and enter 180 there. Right now, when you use any member of this subfleet, you will have 180 seats ready for being sold with a price tag of 100 currency and it will cost you 25 currency to operate that seat. If you want to change the price of your tickets or adjust the operating costs of your seats for this subfleet you can follow the same steps for price and cost. If you do so, your ticket prices and/or costs will be changed ONLY for this subfleet. While adjusting prices you can just use pure values like 150 or percentages like 125%. It is up to you how you change the value. Just do not use percentages on capacities, it really does not make any sense Ok, passenger capacity and price/cost was easy ... How about having some cargo space/fare for a passenger plane. They are not designed to carry bigger loads like freighters but they do have some space under their belly, which is mainly used for carrying out passenger baggages, why not use the remaining space to earn some more money ? Normally passenger planes are mostly limited by the cargo hold's (the name of the cargo area) volume but since we do not have any volume checking capability in simulator and phpvms, we will stick only on the weights here. Just add your pre-defined cargo fare to your subfleet like you added the passenger fares. So, the logic is simple; Your Cargo fare should be big enough to hold all your passenger baggages. Then calculation is simple too 180 (our pax capacity) * 35 lbs (our non-charter baggage weight : check admin/setting simbrief for default values) = 6300 lbs should be your minimum Cargo Fare capacity. If you want to carry some paid cargo, then you need to increase this amount up to a point where it does not passes your aircrafts Maximum Zero Fuel Weight when you have full pax on board. I know this may sound a little bit strange but this is how real thing works too If you know your aircraft specification, then you can calculate your possible max cargo capacity by below formula; Maximum Cargo Fare Capacity = MZFW - DOW - ( max pax seat capacity * pax weight ) DOW is Dry Operating Weight (Operating Empty Weight), it is the weight of your aircraft without fuel, passengers and cargo but with crew, catering and airline stuff loaded already. Anyway, if you do not know your DOW and MZFW then just add some space more to the above calculated value, make it like 8000 lbs. So you will have 1700 lbs free space to carry some cargo after taking all the passenger baggages for a fully loaded flight. Please note; If your PhpVms weight settings are KG, just convert the amount you found to kilograms before adjusting the cargo fare capacity. Just another note for SimBrief Form; The cargo fares of passenger planes will show you the Maximum Available capacity, though we named it max in short terms but this may lead confusions. So when you have passengers and their baggage, your cargo fare capacity will be reduced by the weight of the total passenger baggage weight. Therefore it is not the capacity you defined anymore, it is just what is left behind for you to load additional cargo. If you see negative values there, this is a clear indication that your cargo fare capacity is not enough to hold the passenger baggages . And please keep in mind that SimBrief form uses your aircraft, meaning it reads your subfleet fares. It is a flight plan, do not expect it to read the fares of a flight, it is directly related to the aircrafy you want to generate a flight plan. 3. Flight Fares Technically you really do not need to add fares to flights, but the logic is same as adding fares to subfleets. If you want to change the ticket price/cost of a fare for a specific flight you can do it here. Imagine having a special flight with doubled ticket prices, then just add the fare you want to adjust, click on the price or cost columns inherited text and enter 200%. Now you will have doubled price/cost for this flight only I higly suggest you to not to define capacities at main fares and not adjust capacities at flight fares. This really makes life easier, in real world operations we do not define the capacity in fares and for flights (unless there is a special need). Capacity always comes from the aircraft (here in phpvms it comes from the subfleet) and when we (as OCC or Dispatchers) do change the aircraft of a flight or decide to do it with another aircraft other than planned by commercial planning or schedule planning departments of the airline, ticket sale systems just get the new aircraft info and use its capacity to stop the ticket sales automatically if it reaches the max seats. Things do NOT work like the real world here, so if you have a 180 seat aircraft but define a main fare with 219 seat capacity or edit a flight's fare and set capacity to 239 there, results will not be nice And always remember, fare logic follows below order; Flight (has highest priority, when you change thigns here, they will be used) Subfleet / Aircraft (medium priority over fare) Fare (lowest priority and gets overwritten by the ones above) I think this is enough for basic setup and understanding the logic how fares work in PhpVms v7. Safe flights for now, will post some more info about different topics later.

Thanks I'm trying to set my subfleets and fares and need to figure out how to define the simbrief defaults.

No, those are all just warnings and may get removed in further versions of php/laravel.

Yes, sorry for mixing things up!! Didn't even think about that.... It's not a theme and there's no developer involved, that is default, vanilla V7, but I'll repost this accordingly. Thanks

I have the code for V5.x if you're interested. $c['pid'] = PilotData::GetPilotCode($c['code'], $c['pilotid']); $fieldvalue1 = PilotData::GetFieldValue($c['pid'], 'IVAO ID'); $fieldvalue2 = PilotData::GetFieldValue($c['pid'], 'VATSIM ID'); if($c['online'] == "ivao" OR $c['online'] == "IVAO"){ $c['online'] = '<a crossOrigin="anonymous" href="https://www.ivao.aero/Member.aspx?ID='.$fieldvalue1.'" target="_blank"><img src="https://status.ivao.aero/'.$fieldvalue1.'.png?dark=true" width="150px" height="auto"/></a>'; } if($c['online'] == "vatsim" OR $c['online'] == "VATSIM"){ $c['online'] = '<a href="https://stats.vatsim.net/stats/' . $fieldvalue2 . '" target="_blank"><img src="https://my.vatsim.net/indicators/' . $fieldvalue2 . '" width="150px" height="auto"/></a>'; } if($c['online'] == "offline" OR $c['online'] == "Offline"){ $c['online'] = 'Offline'; } Place the above in your: Make sure the field values are spelled exactly the same as yours in your system. This will show the pilot badge for either IVAO or VATSIM on live flights table and on the badge it shows if the pilot is "online" or "offline". This will work for both smartCARS2 and smartCARS3. Let me know if you need help implementing this.

I have no knowledge about v5 addons, probably people are using such tools (as I saw in some old VA's doing online checks, it must be an addon or custom code VA's built for this purpose) ... For v7, DisposableBasic is capable of doing such checks (even can do callsign match checks on airline), store results as pirep field values, auto reject etc. You can check its readme file to have some more info. Safe flights and good luck on v7 switch.

Beautiful awesome work!

Great news... KB was nice, at least it tried to work up to a point

Sometimes I am telling you I want to bang my head against the wall....... You wouldn't believe what the issue was! The php.ini had all values post_max_size, memory_limit, etc. set to numbers without the M at the end so in reality they were all KB. Fixed that, all issues disappeared smh. Sorry for wasting y'all's time!!

Great help thank you! We got custom liveries for our VA so the airline ICAO’s are correct. In this case the listeners for that could work. Also thanks for the hint in the Disposable Bacic

Your last post helped me. After doing more reading and studying your post I realized that the module did not provide links on the web page. In other words the module is working you just have to come in from a different angle. Phew you learn something everyday. I just have to play about now to add them to my site but thanks you. Your help did help me

My base system is fairly much unrecognisable from its release. There have been years of customisations, from graphs and charts to animated schedule maps, exam systems, training systems, animated flight paths etc, etc. It's not likely that I will move to v7 as there are thousands of pireps in the system and converting is not really an option. Since I run this on a dedicated server, I have full control over the environment, so in theory, I can keep this going for as long as I need. If any devs are willing to work on a new Acars system, please let me know. As previously said above, I am looking for a lightweight solution using Simconnect and backward compatibility with fsuipc. We would need to work together to ensure all my current reported data is available in the new system, I can create a function to control the parameters depending on the acars client when the data is received in the system as we have some custom scoring criteria in place based upon the flight log received. If any developers are willing to progress this, please let me know. Thanks, Mark.

Clowns - they have been advised to NOT install beta 5. I believe Taylor Broad provided them with a link to the correct phpVMS download to install. Personally, I'd never go asking them to install or fix anything phpVMS related. It's not that they are incompetent, but phpVMS isn't their specialty. In the phpVMS Discord, visit the #v7-releases channel. Scroll to the bottom. The last entry (from 12/6/24) presently shows 7.0.46. Click on the 'zip' to download the file to your desktop. Filezilla is fine for editing files and moving addons into phpVMS - But it's easier and quicker to use cPanel's included File Manager to upload the phpVMS dev zip file. Here is a link to the docs for phpVMS 7 https://docs.phpvms.net/ Since you have an existing install, click on 'Installation', then 'Updating'. https://docs.phpvms.net/installation/updating Read thru that short section on updating. You will be uploading the entire zip file to the root of your phpVMS 7 install (the one with the .env file in it. Make a backup of your site! Skip this at your own peril. At a minimum, make a backup of the .env files. Also, make note of any changes you made to files in the /config folder - I recommend making a backup of this as well and checking to see if there are changes to any of those files which might need to be copied over. On your remote site (through your FTP client or SSH), delete the vendors folder On your remote site (through your FTP client or SSH), delete all of the files in bootstrap/cache and storage/framework/cache (delete the contents, NOT the folders) Upload all of the files (or upload latest build via your file manager and unpack), and overwrite everything. If you are using composer, then run composer install command via shell/terminal Visit the /update URL of your site (e,g http://myva.com/update) to complete the update/installs Check the changelog for template changes so you can update your skin Follow the instructions - except #5 as you are uploading the entire zip - to the letter. The final step is to go to admin, maintenance and clear the cache. This should bring your phpVMS up to date. Airports, aircraft, flights (schedules) will need to be added manually. I believe you can upload a few airports, aircraft and schedules - then export them and edit/add to them using Excel (or similar) in the CSV file format and then re-import them with your changes/additions. Be sure to follow the format in the CSV files exactly or you will have issues with missing data. I'd suggest getting the base phpVMS system working first and then concern yourself with addons (theme, modules). As for SC3, there should be a Web or Module folder included which you (as the site admin) would upload to the phpVMS 'modules' folder. This will allow you to test SM3. The above should at least get you started with the basic system and SM3.

Your best bet would be to read thru each readme (phpVMS, Disposable Theme, modules). If you understand the functions of the program and addons, you can easily install them all as well. It’s really just a matter of reading and understanding the instructions - and then (in phpVMS install) basically a copy/paste, /update and clear cache. Inserting the image you posted in place of one of the default images is easy to do as well. If TFDI installed phpVMS, hopefully they installed the latest dev version and not beta 5 (which is way out of date). They should also have installed the SM3 module if you ordered it at the same time as your hosting with them. Be aware that presently SM 3 isn’t fully compatible with phpVMS v7.

Nobody told you that "support" is ended, that is your own conclusion I told you that "development ended for v1 series" and this is not something to stop sales or support. We are testing v2 series and it is "hopefully" near to being released (best kind of support, is an improved new version) as "beta" (at least stable to be a beta and to see how many more bugs will be found by a wider range of users), so no need for being a grumpy old man When it gets to beta, you can download it and use as you wish, but also you can stick with v1, nobody will stop you doing that but the best support you will get for it will be "please upgrade to v2" because nobody will go back to an old code, fix it and release again while a new version is out and live And please until v2 gets released to public (as beta) be patient. 11-12 22:30:37|INFO; Arrived clicked 11-12 22:30:37|INFO; Moved into on block 11-12 22:30:37|INFO; Flight ended manually on taxi on Since you did not shared the entire log, I need some more info; * Which sim was this ? (MSFS, XP11, XP12, Prepar3D, Fsx) * Which aircraft was in use ? * Which airport you landed ? Safe flights.

Hi @DisposableHero, I really apreaciate your help. I could split awards into groups using this code: @if(str_contains($award->ref_model, 'Modules\Awards\Awards\PilotHoursAwards')) Thus I just have to change the award type in order to show all the awards which belong to the same category. Kind regards!

Already did as we speak Issue Link : https://github.com/nabeelio/phpvms/issues/1873 Solution Link (Pull Request) : https://github.com/nabeelio/phpvms/pull/1874 So when this gets merged, a new dev build will be released and this will not be problem anymore for anyone I hope Have a nice night.

Check your ranks

oh wow, thanks, it's already solved, thanks for the information

Hi @CartesianPixels, The "issues" you mention are all related to your phpvms v7 settings and not theme or addon related (also not related with acars), therefore I would kindly request you to spare some time and pay attention to the guides published here in this forum about initial setup. Most probably you are restricting yourself with settings thus not able to see any flights or aircraft. Hope this helps

What "network" did you bring these hours over from? Transfer Hours are separate from Flight Time in phpVMS 7. Transfer Hours are from outside of phpVMS. Flight Time is for hours flown in the phpVMS ecosystem. You can always add Transfer Hours and Flight Time to give a Total Time and then add a place to display it in your theme.

Gentlemen, thank you very much, it worked, I believe that clearing the cache as instructed resolved the problem! Thank you so !

Are any emails being sent/received? Emails for new news items, PIREPs being submitted, etc? How emails ever worked? Double check with your email provider/host that you are using the correct hots, port, encryption settings.

You are doing something wrong then Double check the folders, folder names etc. It is pretty much simple and straight forward stuff.

Hi, for this to happen you need to use API (best way) and external calls to those endpoints, or you need to load a laravel application instance in your homepage to get what you need (uses more server resources and less practical), also you can define an external connection and pull data out from the db directly (worst way, you will lose lots of stuff). For some basic examples and pre-built API solutions you can check DisposableBasic addon, it provides some endpoints for VA admins to pull data out of v7. LiveMap is a different subject, it runs with java/rivet calls, so it is already possible to implement it somewhere outside phpvms v7, check how the map widget works and mimic something outside. Good luck

Admin - settings Should be the very first item - enable and insert public and secret hCaptcha keys.

Do not use beta 5 - use the latest dev version available in the discord #v7-releases channel. phpVMS v7 uses hCaptcha instead of reCaptcha. You will need the free keys from hCaptcha - and enter them into the admin, settings section of v7.

So, let us talk about the version you truly use. Because in phpvms 7 there is no core or local.config.php. Both are folders/files from phpvms 5.

Yes it can be used without an Acars system @Stijn Pilots will need to report their flights via "Manual PIREPs" Good luck

oops I found it, it's my fault, line 68 (mistake drag & drop) double , lol 😂 close this topic sorry

@DisposableHero Thanks for the help, I was able to locate the .env file and update the app_url and that fixed the airport menu issue. Mike

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.

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

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.

Docs link is at the top already (which you have found too) Good luck with the update

Well, I really have no idea why it fails @William, some guys tried the api setup it worked well and some other users of phpvms v7 are using mailgun with api too. I am not blaming you, there should be something blocking api access somewhere. Classic smtp settings should work, I mean it is basic mailing, works for every server, why it should fail at yours. You already have server, port, username, password etc for their smtp access. Just use the default SMTP example with that info. SMTP MAIL_MAILER=smtp MAIL_FROM_NAME='American Virtual' MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS='postmaster@americanva.org' MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailgun.org MAIL_PORT=587 MAIL_ENCRYPTION= MAIL_USERNAME='postmaster@americanva.org' MAIL_PASSWORD='that long password here' API MAIL_MAILER=mailgun MAILGUN_DOMAIN='americanva.org' MAILGUN_SECRET='that long api key here' I assume you are cleaning the application cache from admin > maintenance after doing changes to env.php and saving/uploading that file, failing or forgetting this step will cause problems. (technically until you clean the cache your old env.php will remain in effect and changes will not be applied)
