I know there have been other posts about this topic, but I'm wondering if it is possible, and how, to have my schedules updated automatically by a feed, since they change weekly. I run a Southwest Virtual. Does anyone know where/how I could find, access, and use it? Thanks!!

Simpilot, I have installed and tested it in my site. First off, the Beta is AWESOME! I did find a few bugs: --Calendar won't let you select dates, you have to type them in --If you set the slot limit to 10, and 3 members sign up, it shows a total of 13 slots instead of 10 Thank, Carl

Hi Simpilot, Would it be possible to include a few extra features for the release? Here are my ideas: Visual calendar with links to individual event info and sign-ups Allow a fly-in or fly-out (instead of booking time slots, pilots book routes) Total Booked Slots at the Top (# of pilots that have booked slots) Predicted Participants (Admin can set a percentage, and that percentage of booked slots shows... EX: Admin enters 70% threshold, 10 slots are booked, actual predicted participants automatically displays as 7) Briefing Emails (Admin can write a briefing e-mail prior to the event that is only sent to the pilots who have booked slots) Thanks so much! -Carl

Simpilot, Thanks a TON! I don't even know how I can thank you enough. As for #2, on the homepage, there are the 3 most recent PIREPs. If you click on one of the flight numbers, you see more details about the flight. At the bottom, it shows a route map. How can I get the code to display the dep ICAO-arr ICAO of the PIREP. Thanks! Carl Klinker

Cool, I changed it a bit, and now it works perfectly. Thanks sooo much! <?php $pilots = PIREPData::getAllReportsForPilot(Auth::$userinfo->pilotid); foreach($pilots as $pilot) { echo $pilot->depicao.'-'.$pilot->arricao.','; } ?> Sorry to sound so needy, but I have two more questions. (I've read the API guide but I still can't figure these things out on my own. Any ideas on places I can look to learn?) Question 1: How can I implement a similar code on the homepage, but instead, display the info in the same map format for the last 20 accepted (or preferably, accepted PIREPs in the past XX days) PIREPS on my website? Question 2: How can I implement a similar code on the PIREP Details Route_Map template, but instead, display the info in the same map format for the dep. and arr. ICAO associated to that PIREP? Thanks again!!! -Carl

Hi everyone, I am currently in the proccess of creating a new flight map that looks cleaner and nicer than the google one. It even automatically resizes just to show the routes that have been flown. To use it, I need to find a way to make a list of DEPICAO-ARRICAO,DEPICAO-ARRICAO,DEPICAO-ARRICAO,DEPICAO-ARRICAO. Example: KTPA-KMCO,KMCO-KMHT,KMHT-KMDW,KMDW-KLAS Then, I need to insert that info into an image tag. Example: <img src="http://www.gcmap.com/map?P=KTPA-KMCO,KMCO-KMHT,KMHT-KMDW,KMDW-KLAS&PM=pemr%3Adiamond7%2B%25U&MS=bm&DU=mi" border="0" title="Flight Map" alt="Flight Map" /> How can I go about calling up the info, putting in the KMCO-KTPA,KTPA-KMHT... format, and then inserting it into the image tag? I've tried this so far, but it's failed miserably. I'm terrible with PHP. <?php $pilots = PIREPData::getAllReportsForPilot($pilotid); foreach($pilots as $pilot) { print_r($pilot); } ?> Thanks for all of your help, Carl K. CEO of SWAVA.net

Ok, thanks for the suggestion!

Hi, I've seen similar topics to this on the forum, but nothing exactly like this one. Is there a way to have ranking changes be completely manual, and you receive an alert whenever someone reaches an hours requirement for their next ranking? My reasoning: I have the Exam Center module integrated in my website. As a sample, to get to the PIC CAT I rank, I'd like for a pilot to first reach 50 hours, then take an exam, and upon passing, get a promotion. I'm not very good with php code, so any bits of code to get this working would be awesome! Thanks for all of your help

AAHAA!!! I reloaded the sql file, but it turns out this was the issue: Line 15: foreach ($post as $post) { needed to be: foreach ($posts as $post) { I must have done something to it.... Thanks!!

Ok, I'll try that.

The database table is populated with the correct posts, but the error still occurs when trying to view the posts on the forum. Here is what phpmyadmin showed for the posts table: Once again, the issue on the site occurs here: http://swava.net/index.php/Forum/get_topic_posts?id=2&forum_id=2 Thanks!

The average fuel burn on a 737 is 2,000 - 2,500 kg per hour. Then how does this make sense: I believe FSAcars is exporting the fuel calculations to phpVMS as pounds, not kilograms. In fact, I am positive. Is there away to add in a conversion or change this somehow? Due to this, we are spending almost twice as much money on fuel as we should be. Thanks!

It just came back 2 minutes ago. It turned out to be a database connection issue due to some "unscheduled maintenance" at godaddy.com. Thanks for the help, though!

I use godaddy.com. What kind of issue is this? Please visit any part of http://www.swava.net to see the issue. My site is down, but I have no idea why. Please help me with anything you know. We have over 200 pilots, and I would hate to lose data. Thanks for your help!!!! PS: The hosting did NOT expire if that was your guess.

Never mind! I got it working perfectly on my homepage. Thanks a ton, Dave!
