Well version 1.5 and moved over to my main domain now at http://www.simbreak.com from the sub directory as well as just being about the hobby of flight simulation now to be less confusing to everyone. Once again you are only required (if you choose to submit a va you own or fly for) to enter a listing title (VA Name), Summary (About your VA), and one screenshot of the virtual airline. All the other options help the members search more specific info, such as online flying, aircraft, etc....but you don't have to add any of that info if you choose not too. Let me know if you see anything that should be changed, added, removed, as this is a hobby site for the flight simulation community, and I enjoy messing around with it. You could also just submit your favorite youtube video links in the video area. I think I am going to add a screenshot area to just for people's favorite screen shots to share. In the Help area there is a video that show's you how to register and submit your content in one step. Thanks, Daryl Jacobs SimBreak

You have, I changed domain names from Jacobs Listings to SimBreak. Like I said at the beginning it's just a hobby website that I enjoy working on, just like learning to skin, flight simulation in general, etc...

Started over brand new . Now it just has flight simulation content. Also took Tom's suggestion and made the fleet the 4 letter ICAO aircraft codes, and I will add the majority of them my self for the users to select from. Random virtual airlines scrolling on the top of the page. Check it out at the link: http://simbreak.com Should be easy to navigate now as it only has simulation related content. Would you add any more input options or reword them. You can see the form as an unregistered user by choosing Submit Listing and choosing the virtual airline category from the drop down. Thanks,

I am working on a virtual airline directory...well...actually I am just working on it as a hobby but I do need some input. You can see it by going to http://www.simbreak.com . You can also see what the submission form would look like by just selecting the Submit New Listing and choose category Virtual Airlines link without registering to get an idea of the information you can input at this time. I have purposely made it that you are only required to enter the basics for new airlines, like title, and summary. As your airline grows you can add information to it by editing your va. I need to know what to change, add, or delete that's not needed. The unique thing is the Click To Search feature along with the regular search feature. So if you choose an airline listing you can then see what airlines fly the Boeing 737-800 by simple clicking the link and all the airlines that at least have the Boeing 737-800 will show up in the Click To Search. You can do this with almost any field except a few. Also, you don't have to wait on me to add aircraft, hubs, the user does this themselves making it much easier to add your info. There are also reviews and comments that can be submitted for the airline. Why do I have to register? Just like a virtual airline pilot you must register to submit and most important be able to edit your submission. Why does my listing not show up immediately? Because of the potential for spam, and not appropriate material being posted, trust me on this I have to check and approve all listings. I don't sell email addresses, names etc... I do advertise on my site and only I am allowed to add advertisements, like the SiteGround Ad I have. I did add some virtual airlines with test info and if yours is one I will delete the test airlines in the near future. Simply submit your airline with the real data and I will delete the test duplicates. One question I do have is that the fleet can get really large and so we have to come up with the correct submission so the search works correctly. It won't work right if someone adds B737-700 and than someone else adds Boeing 737-700. Everyone has to use the same type of info for the fleet search and all Click To Search features to work properly. Hubs are not an issue I don't think, since all are KBOS, KORD, etc... At the top of the page random virtual airlines are shown to users, and they can also change the ordering in the category by Most Recent, Last Updated, Most Reviews, etc... so there are tons of ways for a user to search! One image is required but you can add up to four screenshots of your va and link a YouTube video if you choose. Let me know what you think. You can also still search with regular search by entering Names, Titles, Summary Data, etc...or go to the advanced search and choose several search options to search. Daryl Jacobs

Thanks for the information. Fixed my alignment problem for the most part? Although it states centered, mine are not centered in the tables, but I don't care because at least the alignment problem is fixed. And to think it was such a simple thing I think the not centering is something in my skin Of course I just use my site for skinning but it still was bugging me. Have a look: Before alignment: http://screencast.com/t/mxYFqiOjhjE After alignment: http://screencast.com/t/gJwMw0ajoRt Actually the after alignment screenshot is a custom pilot list with additional information but you get he idea! Also I have 4 test hubs and the first 3 are perfect but the last one is just barely misaligned, but I don't care. Looks so much better. I thought the test name Mark Zuckerberg was messing it up so I made the name 300px but no change! Just a bit misaligned: http://screencast.com/t/24IMX47gPHi Once again thanks, been trying to figure this out off and on for months.

Yeah I was confused by this too. It's because it goes where those folders go in the root or for me it's public_html! Where ever your main phpVMS files are that's where it goes. You should see Admin-Core-Lib folders. Staff Photos goes in that area. NOT inside one of those folders, but with them So you should see Admin-Core-Lib-Staff Photos in the root area after you upload the Staff Photos folder. See image: http://screencast.com/t/ptgrjXjAY Hope this makes sense! I have an extra folder called pics in mine!

Back Up! Back Up! Back up! The original mail_check.tpl file and the images before making these changes! Here is my code. You will have to grab images yourself and name them new_mail.gif and no_mail.gif (have to be gif's or change code)! And put them in the core/modules/Mail/mialimages folder! Code edited for mail_check.tpl: <?php //AIRMail3 //simpilotgroup addon module for phpVMS virtual airline system // //simpilotgroup addon modules are licenced under the following license: //Creative Commons Attribution Non-commercial Share Alike (by-nc-sa) //To view full icense text visit http://creativecommo...s/by-nc-sa/3.0/ // //@author David Clark (simpilot) //@copyright Copyright © 2009-2011, David Clark //@license http://creativecommo...s/by-nc-sa/3.0/ ?> <left> <?php if ($items > 0) { echo '<img src="'.SITE_URL.'/core/modules/Mail/mailimages/new_mail.gif" border="0" />'; } else { echo '<img src="'.SITE_URL.'/core/modules/Mail/mailimages/no_mail.gif" border="0" />'; } ?> </left> Changed the center alignment to left, took out the <br>, and added the no_mail.gif image! Still working on my alignment and images I like! No Mail: http://screencast.com/t/yUN5bgUSYz New Mail: http://screencast.com/t/pk3MlYnRE4M Thanks to SimPilot for the original code!

I am going to try your's next. This is what I came up with and still working on it! Not pretty but it works! New Mail: http://screencast.com/t/jPG9GPYVMrV No Mail: (looking for the same envelope as New Mail with the red flag down, I saw it when I got the new mail icon and didn't down load it ) http://screencast.com/t/ucFM77SDNi Getting ready to try yours! And this is yours flyalaska, Awesome! Thanks so much! Changed font to RED, can't get the number RED breaks the code! New Messages: http://screencast.com/t/JnSJhZX1qyK No Mail: http://screencast.com/t/YiB75rh4K What's cool is that both links are clickable! Very nice, once again Thanks! Might try to combine the two codes!

Yeah when I get mail (the number of messages would be great) or just an indicator that I have mail without the number right next to my AirMail link, if the number is more difficult to code I was wanted to learn to be able to do it myself just to learn coding But if someone knows how to, or can guide me in the right direction to do it myself so I can learn, it would be appreciated. Not something I have to have just wanted to either learn how to do it, or see if someone could code it for me so I can learn from the code. You know the SimPilot AirMail module comes with an flash mailbox if you have mail but I don't want to use that! Even just a small RED or GREEN tiny box would be fine. Something to indicate New Mail is all I am looking for really, the number of messages is a bonus! Hope that made sense

Is there any way to easily add code (does it have to be bootstrap), to a Mail navigation like the shout box indicator here on the forums? See image below: http://screencast.com/t/fy5Lasts I am using SimPilot's AirMail module and want to add a Navigation Link, (see below) to show the number of AirMail to be read! I want to add it to a none bootstrap skin I am working on. http://screencast.com/t/uA39Shbw But a smaller number indicator like the ShoutBox one! Is this difficult to add to his AirMail module? Thanks!

I am wanting to learn simple php development for phpVMS. As most programmers know of any language there is the "Hello World" very simple program for almost any programming language. But I do better with taking existing things and looking at them and changing them up or adding something simple. For example like I did on just one item. Added just a simple Fleet Home link to the fleet_view.tpl file on the Extended Fleet v1.0 module. That's another question, is just a page a module? Like the Pilot Center? Or does it have to have more components, like SimPilot's ScreenShots module? Which is where I saw the Previous/Next links when someone add's a new screen shot. SimPilot Screen Shot Module: http://screencast.com/t/DJobNdt4z For instance I want to add a Previous and Next to the existing Extended Fleet Module, so once you choose an aircraft you can cycle through the others, but all I can find about this php codes involves messing with the database and I am not that comfortable yet. Extended Fleet Module: http://forum.phpvms....nded-fleet-v10/ Can someone help me in the right direction to add code and than maybe make my own Module one day? I guess my "Hello World" phpVMS module Thanks for your help!

What a great add on/module. Thanks so much for this. How hard would it be to add a Previous and Next button's so I can cycle through the fleet? And maybe a Fleet Home once you are in the module from a navigation link Something like this: http://screencast.com/t/ntxzLw4IINWT Of course not RED text Once again thanks so much this is awesome! I also edited the fleet_view.tpl to show Download/Purchase Aircraft! http://screencast.com/t/wAdPx8z2 Since I am still learning I can't figure out how to do the Previous and Next bit, but I did figure out the Fleet Home which was simple once I thought about it! http://screencast.com/t/sHICndmj The really simple link to Fleet Home in the fleet_view.tpl at the very top of the page. Not real pretty but it works. <h3>Aircraft Information for <strong><?php echo $basicinfo->registration; ?></strong> </h3> <h4>Basic Information</h4> <a href="<?php echo url('/fleet') ;?>"><h4>Fleet Home</h4></a>

Thanks for the info. I thought maybe there was a way to add a checkbox in pilot permissions for restricting access to the entire Addon's area! If it's going to break the system it's not worth it. Was basically just wondering anyway.

When setting up pilot group to give them certain access to the admin area, how do I restrict access to the SimPilot and all Add On module(s)? There is not an option in the Group Permissions area when editing the groups! Thanks!

With a fresh installation (many of them) I am still not seeing Pilots, Airports, Schedules...and now get error's like these. Is this a hosting issue? I know on my host I enter localhost but this does not work on 1and1 hosting, I have to enter the domain they provide when creating the database. Should we contact them or can someone here help us? If you look at the front of the site everything is there. Just can't view all of the info in the admin panel. The pilots,schedules,airports, and everything I enter shows up on the front of the site, but can't see it in the admin panel or edit the info etc... I have no problem at all with my hosting company, I just upload the files from phpVMS (not the GitHub ones) and besides the deleting the local.config.php everything just works! Any ideas why 1and1 hosting is any different? Thanks for your help!

When I bid on a flight on my va and then go to file a manual pirep sometimes if fills in the Dep and Arriv airport, and sometimes just the Dep or the Arriv and since I only have the Dep and Arriv in one schedule they do not appear as an option in the drop down Arriv or Dep airport list. Anyone know a fix to this issue? For instance say I bid on KEWR to KIAD: Screen Cast using program called Jing: http://screencast.com/t/MEI1DGKbIP Dep - blank and not available in drop down list Arriv- KIAD Sometimes it's correct: Dep- KEWR Arriv-KIAD and somtimes Dep-KEWR Arriv-blank and not available in drop down list Any help appreciated!

What great information...Thank You so much. Now who wants to make up all the other calls like Schedules, Pilot Center. My Flight, etc... unless there already is one : ) Like a dummy when I was first learning to make skin's from existing templates I was using links like http://www.domainname.com/schedules for schedules instead of <a href="<?php echo url('/Schedules') ?>">Schedules</a>, of course now I feel really stupid! Took me forever to figure this out. Not to mention every person that downloaded my first (and still some old ones) skins had to change all that. With the codes below it just works, (usually)! Example from drop down menu: <?php echo url('/'); ?> -Home <li class="active"><a href="<?php echo url('/'); ?>">Home</a></li> <?php echo url('/contact'); ?> -Contact <li><a href="<?php echo url('/contact'); ?>">Contact Us</a></li> <?php echo url('/Schedules') ?> -Schedules <li><a href="<?php echo url('/Schedules') ?>">Schedules</a> I am always going back to old templates to copy and paste this info. Would love a Master copy with all the codes! Unless one exist!

Yes but I have never had this problem before except deleting the local.config.php file. Tried the Master phpVMS from Gitbub, reinstalled about 3 or 4 times from scratch both the download area and the GitHub Master, and all the error fixes listed. When I click on one of those areas I see a Red loading message for a second! Plus I have the Open Flash Chart error! The Fleet and Airline info show up too which is weird, but the others don't.

I have never had this much trouble installing phpVMS before. I have only had to delete the local.config.php file before to get rid of the 28 error message. This time I had to do the long list of fixes here: http://forum.phpvms.net/topic/20629-most-common-fixes-phpvms-installation/page__hl__installation I have the open flash error message which means I can not see the charts on any pages, and I can't see information such as the schedules, airports, and pilots in the admin panel although I can see them on the site. I have tried the local.config.php space problem and have no empty space before the tags. Any ideas? On MySql 5.0, and 1and1 hosting! Thanks!

Check your PM! I might be interested! Check my links in my signature.

Thanks so much for this suggestion as it really helped me a lot. I now have this skin working the way I wanted it to work, with the java script and I am working on the others, as each one requires a different solution to fix the java script error's, but this suggestion helped me a whole lot to go in the right direction. Thanks again!

While trying to learn more about making skins and converting templates for phpVMS I was working on about 6-8 new skins and broke one of my rules about testing everything after every change I make. I got so excited to figure out such a simple thing to get the java script or query thing working on my skins that I forgot test the schedules and other things as I was working on them. Only to find out about the "no routes passed" error, after I was finishing up my 6th-8th skin. Now all of them have the "no routes passed" error which won't let a pilot bid on a flight or remove bids made. Below is the code and path I have to use to get the code working but than breaks the schedules. If I remove the path the schedules work but the rolling java script images don't! I have read every post on this site about the No Route Passed error, even downloaded FireFox and can't figure out how to get both of them working. Here is the part of the code and the BOLD that is the problem. I added the rest to see if there is another error causing the problem! When I remove the /va/lib/skins/Sim News/ the schedules work but the image rotating panel does not! <title><?php echo $page_title; ?></title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/layout.css" type="text/css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" media="all" type="text/css" href="<?php echo SITE_URL?>/lib/skins/Sim News/styles/layout.css" /> <?php /* This is required, so phpVMS can output the necessary libraries it needs */ echo $page_htmlhead; ?> <?php /*Any custom Javascript should be placed below this line, after the above call */ ?> <script type="text/javascript" src="/va/lib/skins/Sim News/scripts/jquery-1.4.1.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/va/lib/skins/Sim News/scripts/jquery.easing.1.3.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/va/lib/skins/Sim News/scripts/jquery.timers.1.2.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/va/lib/skins/Sim News/scripts/jquery.galleryview.2.1.1.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/va/lib/skins/Sim News/scripts/jquery.galleryview.setup.js"></script> </head> <body id="top"> <?php /* This should be the first thing you place after a <body> tag This is also required by phpVMS */ echo $page_htmlreq; Thanks for your help. I hope someone can help me with this! If I can fix this one I can fox the other ones I am working on for the community! Hey at one point I didn't even have a clue how to change a template to a phpVMS skin One of the many skins that are broken. I am still working on the look and arrangement and adding other code so if you see another skin besides the Sim News all the current ones pretty much all have the same problem. Any help appreciated! We fix this and the community will have many more FREE skins to try out Planning on adding the Sim News to my site incase someone needs to download to fix it! Just look under the phpVMS skins category on my site in my signature below to download! Sorry meant to put in Skinning not Releases!

Skins for phpVMS can be found by following the link in my signature to http://www.simbreak.com . I am working on some new skin's right now and will upload them to my site when they are finished! In the meantime you can get the ones that are available on my site.
