    Could you please share the solutions you arrived at? I am having the same trouble now.

    The post you quoted it over 3 years old. That member hasn't been on the forum in almost 3 years. Chances of an answer from them are very slim.

  3. Navaids; Route Map

    Low down: basically any PIREP with route_details that only has "a:0:{}" shows zero navaids on map

    If that's the case, the system isn't recognizing any of the routing besides dep/arr points - whether theu are in the navdata tavle or not.

    Sorry for the bump. I'm trying to do the same thing to get a 4-letter prefix but the above change throws the following error:

    Can someone advise please? Thank you.

    Don't bump threads that haven't received a response in almost 7 years. Start a new thread and post a link to the old thread if you need to reference it. Necroposting is frowned upon.

    Of course, ICAO airline codes have been 3 letters since 1982 (compliance by 1987). Prior to that, airline codes were 2 letters and corresponded to the IATA designator. There are no 4 or 5 letter/digit airline codes.

    Bump. This is still broken as of 1/1/2020.

    And it will remain so until after vaCentral is back on line. Additionally, it will require several coding changes as the API and provided info will change.

    There are several online resources to look the required data up manually.

  8. PIREP Raw Data

    in Support Forum

    Posted

    The rawdata field in the pireps table is where position data for the flown route is stored. This is actually position reporting data provided by some ACARS programs - not all ACARS programs report this data to phpVMS. The use of this field is not something the user can control directly.

    One program that does use this field is kACARSII, but it is not longer available. And I believe FSACARS also used this field. There may be others, but I don't have first hand knowledge of them.

    kACARS_Free and smartACARS do not seem to use this field.

  9. what file do i need to download off github ?

    I think the curl install has to be done by your host. I would contact your host and ask them about it.

    It is my understanding that phpVMS 7 doesn't have the typical install like prior versions. You should be able to go directly to the sub-folder it's installed in and run it from there - the page you showed is how it's supposed to look (plus the images) and the install is done directly from there.

    Also - do NOT install in public_html - put the files in a sub-folder of public_html. This will allow you to easily have multiple installs (if desired), have forum software installed in its own folder and keep everything organized and not all mixed together.

    Additionally, having each program in a separate sub-folder under public_html will easily allow you to have a different version of PHP in use for each sub-folder if required by the program installed. 

    /public_html
/public_html/phpvms7
/public_html/forum
/public_html/phpvms5.5.2.72
/public_html/whatever......

    I suggest you use PHP 7.2 or 7.3 for phpvms v7

    Since you don't have SSH available on your host, you will need to use Composer locally and then upload all the files to your server (host).

    Be aware that phpVMS 7 is still in Beta and probably shouldn't be used for a live (production) site.

    If you decide to go with phpvms 5 - I would suggest version 5.5.2.72 (this is the Simpilot version updated to work with php 7.2) - use php 7.2 as it won't work in php 7.3. There is a link to it in the phpVMS Classic Support forum.

  18. Real manual PIREP

    Thank you to everyone else for your comments and ideas. The only reason for this request is in the event something happens with smartCARS we as good administrators can go in and file corrections for our pilots. I don't want them to use as a normal item to circumvent smartCARS.

    Maybe the easiest way is to have a rule that ANY manual PIREPS will need to have a comment added as to why the pilot needed to use a manual PIREP instead of smartCARS (and if no comment or invalid reason, reject the PIREP). Even if a pilot files a manual PIREP, an admin must approve it - and can edit or refuse it before the hours are added to the pilots logs.If a pilot continuously tries to use the manual method over smartCARS, just start refusing all their manual PIREPS. I have had this rule in affect for over 5 years - and have only ever received maybe 5 manual PIREPS total in that time.... and ALWAYS with a reason as to why the pilot needed to submit a manual PIREP.

    I also don't use "auto-accept" or "approve all" for the PIREPS. Our staff reviews each PIREP for accuracy, fuel burn, flight time, etc). Even an ACARS type PIREP can and does have errors (excessive fuel burns, excess flight time, etc.).

    I am still wondering how a pilot is going to get the manual PIREP info to you if you don't have a PIREP form for them to submit the info......

    Go to phpvms_install_dir/core/templates/pirep_new.php

    At the start of file enter this: 

    
<?php
if(!PilotGroups::group_has_perm(Auth::$usergroups, ACCESS_ADMIN)) {
    Debug::showCritical('Unauthorized access');
    return;
}
?>

     

    Regards

    While this might prevent regular users (pilots) from using the manual PIREP form, how will admins be able to now enter the pilots ID to input the PIREP data for a specific pilot?

    Greetings! 

       I would like to modify this page a bit. would appreciate any help i can get. I dont want pilots to be able to submit manual pireps themselves . Instead, I want admins to submit for them. So the change i need is unlocking the pilot name at the top of the form. additionally, i need to make it a drop-down for all pilots within the VA. Any ideas? 

    How are the pilots going to get their PIREP information to the admins? Aren't they going to need some type of form to get the info on their flights to the admins? Using the PIREP form allows pilots to submit their info - and then admins can edit, approve or reject them. Additionally, using an ACARS program (like kACARS_Free or others) will accurately track flight times and allow pilots to submit the data without the need to fill out a manual PIREP.
