I've got the code, but what would I need to add so that it appears AFTER login was successful?

Yes but it's a guide on getting pilots.

Oh and Dan, been meaning to say I've been quite ill recently and haven't been flying. Still in SIN after I managed one flight.

Yes I did mean to include that. Most of the time it's the fictional airlines that do this.

OK, I decided to create this because every VA forum I know is FULL of new VA owners constantly asking how to recruit pilots. I hope this guide helps, and also reduces, if not stops the number of people asking how to get pilots. 1. Have a Decent Name and Logo You should have taken a lot of thought on your airline's name. I know a lot that have really stupid names that I will not mention. Make sure you have a professional logo and it matches your airline's style. Don't have a low-quality image of a plane and then the name of your airline in a boring font. Consider getting someone to design one for you, however this may come with a small fee. 2. Make Press Releases Not too many though, people will get tired. Use big forums like Flightsim.com, Avsim.com, FlightSimWorld.com, and these forums. Remember to make it look attractive. 3. Be Realistic Too many VAs are unrealistic. Pilots don't want an unrealistic airline (some do, but they clearly don't take it seriously). I, personally, hate them. You can't start up in a week and suddenly announce that you have 50 brand new A380s in the fleet and 50 787s. Even having a 747 in the fleet early can be bad too. Your routes also need to be realistic. Start simple. If you're based at London Gatwick Airport with a fleet of 2 737-400s, you're doing great fleet-wise, nice n' real, but it could be another type too. Consider flying two or three routes for now, maybe one to Paris, one to Madrid and one to Munich. There. Done. But it's not that simple. Not all VAs can be the same, that's what makes pilots bored. Try something different. Oh, and even after some time, don't bother thinking about flying every aircraft you can think of, but when you've been operating for years, it can be acceptable if you have a bit more than others, like major airlines. 5. Be Professional Place your airline's logo at the top of every Press Release and website (and if you've read Step 1 it will be a decent one). Use correct punctuation and spelling in PRs and on your website. Pilots don't want a career with someone who can hardly spell or even use capital letters. Your logo should display professionalism, along with your website. If a logo looks professional, you can almost tell that the airline will have an overall reputation for being professional. 6. Be Unique You can't have the same airline every time with a different name. Try different routes with different planes, etc. Try introducing different features that no one else can offer. 7. Have a Decent Website Your website should be clean, fresh and easy to use. Oh, and also have a forum for pilots to chat 8. Show Dedication Last of all, show your pilots that you are dedicated, and won't check the website once a week. No matter how bad you're doing, check things regularly. I personally check my things around 2-3 times daily just to make sure. Also check your emails to see if anyone has a question about your VA etc. Once again, DON'T NAG! When I say post on forums, I don't mean complain to the community that you're VA is unpopular expecting that people will be sympathetic and join to make you feel better. Ain't gonna happen. And remember, more active pilots is more important than the number of pilots. Hope this helps

Which aircraft?

1. Don't use the same boring template as everyone else does. 2. Do something realistic - you've been open for a week and can already say: "Almost 400 routes to fly at your leisure using aircraft from the 737-800 to the Airbus A380" 3. Get a logo. And don't just get a picture of a frog and write Frog Airlines in a boring font. 4. The name is really bad too, sorry.

No it's not available for download. The template is custom.

Cheers, I had repeat:none

I recently wanted to change my background because my last one was plain grey. This time, I want a blue/white gradient with a small shadow on the actual page, as you'll see on my site (click my signature). I have already tried got this: body { margin-top: 50px; padding: 0; background: url(http://www.freshjetvirtual.com/lib/skins/premiumseries/images/freshjet_bg.png); text-align: justify; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 12px; color: #000000; } But you'll see that on my site, it repeats itself vertically (repeat-x), but it's not in the code. I basically want a shadow around the top and sides of the page against the blue/white gradient.

Wow nice, mine is like that too.

Can we make another topic for this? I made this for signature requests, not for general support with them

A monthly stats report in the Admin panel

Hey, I want to know how to retrieve monthly data for a statistics report that I make at the end of each month. Last month was the first full month of operations for freshJet so this is my first report. I basically need: No. of Flights flown (PIREPS) No. of Hours Flown No. of New Pilots There is more but I can do that myself. I'd be grateful to anyone who could give me some answers.

OK, let me get this straight. You are a VA which offers ILLEGAL cargo charters? Uhhh OK... Marijuana anyone?

What I do (as well as many others) is make the simple index.html and upload it to my public_html folder. That means you can still access the site by adding /index.php onto the end of the address because index.html is automatically made the default homepage. However, it means that anyone can type /index.php and view the site, but not everyone knows if it's a phpVMS site or it has an index.php page.

Hey, Does anyone know how to make a popup box appear on login? For example, a survey, or a status telling the pilot how many messages they have, their bids, etc. So: Pilot Logs in > PopUp displays > Pilot can then click on one of the links or click 'Close'.

There's an update somewhere that allows you to select all days. A simple search will do the trick.

This will sound stupid, but how do I do install step 2?

Some way of adding relevant NOTAMS in a marquee on the Pilot Centre would be nice...

Yeah that's what I've done.

Yeah I saw that but it's different. That's an automatic responder. I want one where I can manually send an email to a pilot.

Anyone?

Any idea how to send an email to only one using the emailing system? I want to do this for notifications etc.

Nothing
