I have been pondering this one as well. An application module would be a great asset to have if someone uses Simpilot's premium Staff module.

Hi Nabeel. I am currently way behind yet again. I am currently on Version 2.1.v2.1.934-75-g25792f4 . If I was to try to update to day to this version, would I need to revamp my template? I see many updates since I upgraded last and I fear template issues galore if I blindly try now. Ray

That's cool Nabeel. Nice one! +1 for sure. Would give a +1000 but it wont 't let us.

HI Vicar. You bring up some very good points. A guy and I at my airline have been talking about how to make use of the financial system just like you are talking about. We have been going over the whole system with a fine tooth comb. I was going to talk to Nabeel via the forums at a later time about it. I know right now he has been pushing updates left and right. I figured I would wait until he has bit more free time to spare. Some of the things we were talking about you covered. And a few more are the option to create separate expenses for flights rather then across the board. Example: Flight attendants. If the expense is added, it would also be charged for cargo flights as well. So not an option really. Breaking up of funds to go to hubs or divisions. Say for example, you have the USA busted up in to two divisions, North and South with each one having X amount of hubs. A percentage of each flight would go to each hub, a percentage could go to the division, and the rest going to the VA. All that would be after expenses and pilot pay though I guess. My idea behind that one is each hub could get charged X amount of cash to post a news post to a flyin event, or run a promotion. Each cost associated would come out of each hubs finances. If the hub is short on cash, then they need to keep their hub fresh with new ideas to get pilots to fly more flights in and out of their hubs. Well, maybe I should have put all this in the Wish List thread instead of support, but it mirrored your original post. That is just a couple examples I have though. It goes more in depth. Ray

Yeah man it is a bunch of work to get rid of the side bar and fix all the issues with it. I like the side bar on the home page but as you mentioned, on all the others, it is a PITA. Since you are taking this route for now, I will not hurry, but I was thinking tonight that I could take a default install and mod the template and a page or two so you can see it work correct and in action. I know I am tied up for the next few days though so possibly the beginning of this coming week? That sounds like a plan to me.

This has came up before and is possible already. Do a very good search and you should be able to find it.

Sorry about not getting that code to you in regards to the above. I forgot I even posted here and life got REAL hectic on me last week. Were you ever able to get things lined out ok? And I forgot, It probably won't do me any good to send mine anyhow. I butchered mine up in a good kind of way. I hid the side bar on every page but the home page and pretty much had to rework some css to do it. So my code would totally jack your site all up.

Ok thanks guys. When I talk to him again today I will be sure to double check that he has all 3 check boxes unchecked and no trialing or forward white spaces in the url.

HI Asmara. Yeah I went though all of that with him tonight already. I literally read every post in this thread and tried everything suggested by everyone and the problem still occurs. I know it has to be on his computer. I used his login info on my KACARS program on my PC and I was able to log perfectly. I even had him uninstall and reinstall KACARS. The only difference between his install and mine is he is flying FSX and I am on FS9. BUT that should have nothing to do with this error at all. I really do appreciate the reply though. It made me stop and retrace every step I took tonight to try to make it work for him.

Hi Jeff. I used it ( Tom's code) in my public_profile.tpl and in the profile_main.tpl and it works fine. I got ninja's on this one but I was going to ask as well where you were placing the code at. Now the code I originally posted, that is exactly what was happening with me too.

Hi Lorathon, let me start out by saying thanks for the script. It is great! Several of us on my very little va site use KACARS error free. Works a treat. I got a guy that just got windows 7 and We solved one problem for him by making KACARS as administrator. Then it let him save the va profile but in the main controls when he attempts to login with his username and password, it simply says Connection Error in red letters. I then told him lets check the .net framework. Sure enough it was current and yet he still has the issue. I have went through hoops trying to get it to work and nothing yet. Any ideas of where I can have him go from here? I promise you I have read every post in this thread and even tried all fixes including reuploading the module to our website in spite of the fact that it works for the rest of us. I am now officially clueless. Any thoughts or ideas you may have would surely be appreciated to say the least. Thanks for reading this. Ray

Nice one Nabeel. I forgot all about that setting. I got it all up to snuff now and working real nice like.

Nightfox, some airlines have massive amounts of aircraft. Case in hand, lets take a quick look at UPS. http://www.planespotters.net/Airline/United-Parcel-Service-%28UPS%29 As you can see, they have a MASSIVE amount of aircraft. And yeah, to add each one in by hand sure is a PITA but it is a necessary evil Junior. You could always grab a copy of your database, download WAMP server, import your database and edit it on your local host server. If you screw it up, no big loss since your original one is still intact on your website.

Hey Mark, give Tom's method a try. It works. Hi Tom. I did read your post but I thought there was a typo in it is why I did not try it at first. It actually works exactly how I was wanting it to work. Thanks! +1

I believe if you use acars or xacars it is not going to show aircraft. you have to use KACARS. I think it works correctly for fsfk....I could be wrong. And it will not show any details at all for anything on the flight board for fs passengers. So to put it in a blunt manner, use KACARS. It is your best option when testing your code. Well, for that matter, it is probably the best option to use any way you look at it.

Ahhhh fudge! It is coming right out of the database. Now I am up a creek without a paddle I think eh?

Hi Mark. +1 man. This worked. However, is there any way you can tell me where it pulls this info from? I would like to change the date format to mm/dd/yy and get rid of the times. I really see no need to display the time they joined or the time they last logged in. Only the dates.

Yeah I took the code right out of the pilot details.tpl file. It works fine in the admin section, but not in the profile of pilot center. I got this to work once in my pilot roster, just not sure how.

Hi guys, I have searched but can not find the answer I am looking for. In the pilot center, I want to add what date the pilot joined and when their last login was. I added the code as follws: <li><strong>Date Joined: </strong><?php echo date(DATE_FORMAT, strtotime($pilotinfo->joindate));?></li> <li><strong>Last Login: </strong><?php echo date(DATE_FORMAT, strtotime($pilotinfo->lastlogin));?></li> Nut all it shows is 12/31/1969. I know I did get this to work once, but now I don't remember how I did it. can anyone please help?

Anyone have a copy of this laying around? FS Paintshop site is not available anymore as far as I can tell.

Tell ya what I can do, I will nix my code and send you a copy of the frontpage and layout in perfect working order and maybe you can scrape something together from there. Give me until sometime tomorrow though. I am getting ready to go to bed now. Early day tomorrow. I'll see what I can do to help out man.

Thanks mark. It took my blond haired self a minute to figure out what you guys were saying. Works a treat. Now I know when creating a form in the action statement we can use <?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?> which will open called info back on to the same page from which it was opened. I am curious if that is possible in this situation. I see no action at all in the form in which to use this code. The only place I see anything related is it says Home in the script. In the end, I guess it would be sweet if I could open up historic tables UNDER the current stats instead of opening up a new page.

Put this at the VERY top of your layout.tpl file. It should make that error a thing of the past. <?php $allpilots = PilotData::getAllPilots(); foreach($allpilots as $pilot) { } ?>

While I understand this code and I know what it does, I am kind of lost where to put it. I found the loop and table, but it is all being echo because it is inside php. Do I simply end the php from the regular stats and then add this little ditty of code here after?

Hmmm It should not be on the bottom. Look for a div tag not closed. I had that issue once before and that's what it was.
