Like all new va's we are looking for dedicated pilots. In another post I made the mistake of looking for pilots here because we are all serious pilots but.....did not realize that almost everyone here is also the CEO of their own va ooops. I learned and also got some good advice. Good luck with your new va. Everything said here take to heart as I am.

Thank you all for your recent comments. I am very serious about my va and trying to show it off everywhere to attract a few pilots who want to fly not just be there. As my homepage says, I am not trying to steal anyone's pilots and I mean that. I left SWAv not because it wasn't a good site or good people but they only fly B737's and being an active "weekend warrior" with virtual Air National Guard, I fly a KC10 there and wanted to fly a DC10 commercially which is only limited to one real airline who declined to let me vitually use their name and logo. So I could just fly by myself or, form my own va which I DID put a lot of research into the nuts and bolts. As you all know from above, I am still learning web design. Again, thank you for your present and future help here. This is how I want to treat people here as I now know you do too.

I got this working perfectly for two of my airports KBOS and KSFO but I want to have accurate gates and terminals for each city we serve all 18. I researched for a couple hours yesterday and accurately copied the terminals and gates from the airport sites on the web. So...I copied the if....else statement and just pasted it after the first statement. Works great!! Also, some of my airports only have numbered gates like PHNL. You can see that instead of letters, I substituted the ASCII code for a dash "-" I am so proud of this since I don't know spit about php coding. There are 2 problems I have encountered maybe Nabeel can help. When you generate a boarding pass it picks the gate correctly at random from my specs in the template, BUT when you push the print view it generates a NEW gate. The first three if/else pairs generate gates then every other one just comes up blank. Help please. if($schedule->depicao == 'KBOS') { echo chr(rand(69, 69)); // Gate letter between E and E echo rand(2, 8); // Random gate letter between 2 and 8 } elseif($schedule->depicao == 'KSFO') { echo chr(rand(65, 65)); // Gate letter between A and A echo rand(1, 12); // Random gate letter between 1 to 12 } if($schedule->depicao == 'PHNL') { echo chr(rand(45, 45)); // No gate letter just a dash echo rand(14, 14); // Gate letter 14 } elseif($schedule->depicao == 'KMIA') { echo chr(rand(69, 69)); // Gate letter between E and E echo rand(2, 12); // Random gate letter between 2 to 12 }

To: James 142, Kyle (Vansers) and Twelka 3, thank you. I visited ALL 218 va's on the VA-list to see what they looked like for a comparison yesterday for my own education. (Including itrobb and joeri). Both of their websites are really nice and look like they put a lot of work into them. Sadly a few of them are no more, link dead. Probably quit discouraged. Also saw a lot of them that had 20-30 pilots with 2 or 3 doing all the flying. ???? I have seen professionally designed websites that I don't like. If you compare a lot of the professional websites on the web for other purposes, you'll see that they do not resemble va websites which all are similar layouts with a few exceptions. I appreciate you echoing my comments second time around, I was a bit angry the first time so those remarks may have been a bit "steamier". I have been back here though I said I wouldn't and glad that I did or I would have missed your comments. My grand-daughter's art teacher this week told her that everything that is an original creation IS ART. My website and all of yours are an artform. We all work from our inspiration unless we commission an artist (web designer) to do it for us. I think that you will ALL agree that we have surely seen some art sold for millions of whatever currency you use we wouldn't in an American expression "give a plugged nickel for". I will continue to be a part of this forum and visit it from time to time or when I need help that I hope to receive from someone who knows more about that topic than I do. I am new at designing a webpage, true. I have been a pilot for other va's, some of which are no more, about 3,000 hours total for the past 6 years, including retiring as a chief pilot for Southwest Virtual Airlines to start MyHoliday Airlines. I look forward to a lot of fun in the air and better fellowship with other virtual pilots here. Hope vacentral is back soon. Thank you for phpvms Nabeel.

My Holiday Airline has a new webpage as well as completely repainted by me liveries. My decision since though I liked what they looked like before, I never denied that they did resemble MyTravel's livery. Why, because I liked what it looked like. Anyway, proving that I can paint liveries don't have to "steal" from someone. If the webpage looked too busy, I think it is less busy now. I like its colors and I created it myself didn't buy it. I do like phpvms as a manager for the va thank you for all the work done here. Be nicer to people here. None of us were born knowing everything and had mentors no matter what field that was. We'd still know nothing if someone hadn't taken the time and given us the help we needed not insulted us or called us stupid. I just want to say to think about that before making quick replies to new members here.

I think my site is quite attractive, or I would not have designed it and uploaded it. You are entitled to YOUR opinion and I am mine. As far as being done by a ten year old..that's just plain rude. It is done in Adobe software and uses a lot of good techniques like the slide show and the hyperlinks. As well as artwork created solely done by hand. I have seen so called professionally designed sites on the web that I don't like. This is MY work. I didn't pay anyone to do it. Is your site your work? This is a hobby NOT a design school contest after all. It's supposed to fun. Also, I liked the style of My Travel. Since I have done major mods to the paintjob as well as totally painting the CRJ's from scratch using blank paint kits, I can paint anything I want to. I just liked the layout and they are not around any more.being absorbed by Thomas Cook. My name, my colors and my tails. Makes them mine since I did the work on them. A lot of cut, paste typeset, and repainting. I posted here to see if I could find new pilots. So far this site seems to be more about putting people down than giving any help with few exceptions. Sun Country is so proud of flying 100 hours, obviously a new va. Instead of saying that's great the reply was so big deal get excited when its 1000. I don't know if MY comments will make any of you taike a second thought before slamming someone again, probably not. But I surely won't waste any more of my time here.

My Holiday Airline (virtual) is dedicated to flying to the most desireable and also exotic vacation spots worldwide. We are looking for pilots who are looking for a new home or their first va. 100% of your va logged (verifiable) hours migrate with you so if you're an experience pilot you can start flying the B757 or 767 to the most desireable of our destinations. We have a lot of new ideas to try so give US a try. PS really glad to see that the forum is up and hope to see the rest of phpVMS up too. Visit us at: http://www.myholidayairline.co.cc

I was not getting this information to appear in the completed PIREP so I went back in, erased it from the pirep new template and then entered it as a custom field in the PIREP through the phpVMS Adminstration Area before I got your reply. It appears on the form to file a PIREP on the website and it is in the phpvms_pirepfields, in fact it is the ONLY field. The completed PIREPs on the website do not have a field or the information captured. What do I do? thank you for your time.

I have added a line with a text box to the Pirep Filing template for "Date Flown" Just copied two lines of code and voila it's done. But..........I would like to have this appear in the pilot's Pireps and don't know how to modify the table(s) Can you tell me how and where to add it in MySQL? thank you. I'm getting better at tweaking little by much experimentation little. LOL

Watch for the snail mail this week. BTW thank you for all your hard work on this. I am enjoying managing my VA very much with it. Saved me a ton or work and headaches.

I'm replying to myself figuring this out....I added the src image line from pilot_public_profile.tpl just below the li line, saved it and I get my images in the public and members profile to appear just below the text of the award. Post this as solved and I hope it helps others who need to do this too. BTW the offer of graphic help to anyone here as MY thank you for php/vms still stands. See you all next time.

I'm rather frustrated right now so I hope some knowledgeable person would post the correct code for me to get my award images to appear in the Pilot Profiles. I have tried all the answers that are here after searching the Support Forum for Missing Awards Images, too many images...all the answers given about awards I tried but to no luck. I have worked on this back and forth from my site to the cpanel file manager for a couple hours now but have run out of ideas. I get the text of the award but no image. The URL's are correct because the images DO appear in the Admin Awards area with their descriptions. they are also I believe small enough being the same size as the rank.jpgs which I created. Can someone please type out here what code should be in the Profile_Main_template after <strong>My Awards</strong><br/> and before it begins the ACARS section so that the image would show and then the text description? I get no "bad image" little boxes, I get no image at all. Thank you for taking the time to help. I have fairly good repainting skills and good graphic skills and am willing to share here with someone who needs THAT kind of help, but no code skills at all. In fact I am quite proud of my ranks I created from scratch. See attached.

Here is one way to do it easily for a non-programmer like me. There are a lot of good tutorials available on the web for both REAL pilots that are as good for sim pilots and you can also GOOGLE a lot of good flight simulator tutorials. Make a new page for your website in phpVMS Admin panel and call it TRAINING and then type the tutorial titles for the particular aircraft your VA flies and link them on the webpage to the tutorials on the web. Since I do not program php this is what I would do.

Thank you for the help.

I have downloaded and installed kACARs free onto my computer. I also have downloaded the kACARS module. Do I ftp upload this into core PIREPS or the regular modules directory? Or where?

I have been working very hard on trying to get my va up and have got it. I linked an arbitrary html link to the standard phpvms site through a door on my fancy website and I like it and besides that it works. I have also found a crystal sidebar old website on t he 'net and downloaded the code to experiment with something in front of me. Thank you all for your help. I don't know how to close a topic so can someone close this?

Thank you for trying to help, but that doesn't help me any. My webpage is written in Adobe Muse and exported into html. Uploaded as a normal webpage it works perfectly. I am trying to integrate the Pilot Roster Schedules and PIREP into this. Looking at the Layout.tpl does not make any sense to me as well as the forum thread that Jeff suggested. I'm sorry but I don't get it. I don't want to frustrate those of you trying to help. What code do I need to post here that you can show me what I put where in my layout. Thank you.

I've read these over and over and tried to integrate them into my website but got nothing. I just don't understand this. I even went online and tried getting some php tutorials but this is way beyond anything I understand. I have a great website created; got a test page up so Omni Air can see what I am doing waiting for their permission to use their logo. Its at: http://www.omniairintlva.horizon-host.com I really want to integrate phpvms into this. I tried to understand Tom's and itrobb but its HIS website NOT my pages and content. Please help.

Thank you I will try that. Thanks for getting back so quickly.

I have designed imho a very good looking website in Adobe and I also have a free host as a test base. I have been able to upload the phpvms onto the server and I have followed the docs and customized the basic skin after copying the crystal as suggested. Now my dilemma. I have not been able to integrate phpvms into my webpage. I tried to upload the lines suggested into the index_html but unfortunately I just screwed it up. I removed the php codes and put it back to original state. Can anyone tell me if there is a script example showing how this was done? I don't know a thing about php code writing. I have written XML and created all kinds of gauges for my panels and also have done a lot of repainting. Have almost 2000 hours with other va's. Would now like to have one of my own. I am on a fixed income of nothing but SSN so I can't offer any compensation to anyone. Just hoping you would help when you have the time or point me in the right direction. Thank you. From what I have tried, this is rally a great software. Thank you for designing it.
