  4. Shedule Brief - Display local charts

    in Code Snippets

    Posted

    No charts are displayed for any airports in the schdule briefing, so I modified the code to display charts found in the database.

    If no charts are found it will display the default link for airnav.com plus the message "No local charts found, try - [airnavlink]".

    You can see it here: http://www.flybritair.com/index.php/schedules/brief/1

    You have to edit schedule_briefing.tpl

    Replace:

    <table width="98%" align="center">

<tr style="background-color: #333; color: #FFF;">
	<td>Charts for <?php echo $schedule->depicao?></td>
	<td>Charts for <?php echo $schedule->arricao?></td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
	<td width="50%" valign="top">
		<a href="http://www.airnav.com/airport/<?php echo $schedule->depicao?>#ifr" target="_blank">
		<img border="0" src="http://flightaware.com/resources/airport/<?php echo $schedule->depicao?>/APD/AIRPORT+DIAGRAM/png"
			width="387px" height="594px" alt="No chart available" /></a>
	</td>
	<td width="50%" valign="top">
		<a href="http://www.airnav.com/airport/<?php echo $schedule->arricao?>#ifr" target="_blank">
		<img border="0" src="http://flightaware.com/resources/airport/<?php echo $schedule->arricao?>/APD/AIRPORT+DIAGRAM/png" 
			width="387px" height="594px" alt="No chart available" /></a>
	</td>

</tr>
</table>

    With:

    <table width="98%" align="center">

<tr style="background-color: #333; color: #FFF;">
	<td>Charts for <?php echo $schedule->depicao?></td>
	<td>Charts for <?php echo $schedule->arricao?></td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
	<td width="50%" valign="top">
<?php
//Check local charts
$query_charts_dep = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM charts WHERE icao='".$schedule->depicao."'");

if (mysql_num_rows($query_charts_dep) == 0)
{
echo 'No local charts found, try - <a href="http://www.airnav.com/airport/'.$schedule->depicao.'#ifr" target="_blank">here</a>.';
}
while ($charts_results = mysql_fetch_assoc($query_charts_dep))
{
echo '<a href="'.$charts_results['link'].'">'.$charts_results['name'].'</a><br />';
}
?>

	</td>
	<td width="50%" valign="top">
<?php
//Check local charts
$query_charts_arr = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM charts WHERE icao='".$schedule->arricao."'");

if (mysql_num_rows($query_charts_arr) == 0)
{
echo 'No local charts found, try - <a href="http://www.airnav.com/airport/'.$schedule->arricao.'#ifr" target="_blank">here</a>.';
}
while ($charts_results = mysql_fetch_assoc($query_charts_arr))
{
echo '<a href="'.$charts_results['link'].'">'.$charts_results['name'].'</a><br />';
}
?>
	</td>

</tr>

  8. Route map flightaware

    Posted

    Because the navdata table has some error in it. Download the navdata from my site. It repairs most of the issues. Not all but most.

    Ok, thank you.

    Will download it shortly.

    Thanks again.

    Where do I download it from? Had a look on fs-products

  11. Award Images

    in Support Forum

    Posted

    Check the url of the images hosted on your server/imageshack, link and display correctly when visiting the url directly.

    Once this is done, check the source code on the page where the award images are supposed to be displayed and look for any differences in the source url.

    This should allow you to see if the link is being outputted correctly.

  15. A few questions about VA's and phpvms

    in Support Forum

    Posted

    Hi guys,

    On my own, I've started to setup my own VA website (it's a fictional airline) and I have also managed a re-paint on the PMDG MD-11. I'm from the UK and the UK will be the base of operations.

    I've set up 28 airports in PHPVMS and will schedule flights to and from Heathrow & Gatwick to these popular destinations around the world.

    I have a couple of question's I'd like to ask you guys, if your willing to help.

    1) Flight Plans.

    I'm currently using "asalink" free route finder to plot the route for a schedule. Is this actually necessary to do? How many of your pilots actually follow the route you provide?

    2) Fleet.

    I'm currently thinking of using the MD-11, 747, 737 from PMDG and will also try a re-paint of the stock 737/747 (as not all pilots will own pmdg aircraft). In all that is 3 aircraft.

    I've come across a multitude of VA websites that have multiple of the same Aircraft with different registrations. I've only seen one VA that doesn't do this. I would like to know why this is?

    3) Working out Flight Time.

    What is the best way to work out the flight time between destinations. I've managed to do two (EGLL->EDDM and EDDM->EGLL), which was simple enough as I was able to find a similiar flight on Heathrow's website.

    4) How do I get the actual route flown to display on the pirep map. My navdata table is empty. Do I need to add the contents navdata.sql to it?

    Also in the github link "https://github.com/nshahzad/phpvms_navdata" it says to download some files and put them in the FAA folder but I can't seem to locate that folder. Once this is done, will existing pireps show the route instead of a straight line?

    5) Is it possible to show the route being flown on the live maps too?

    Thanks in advance for any responses.
