I hate to quote myself, but I did install a really decent WYSIWYG and got it working! Until I submitted a post and it was then that the reality set in , crap! The forum don't support those BBCodes. Bummer. Its a nice editor to. Back to plain styled forums lol.

hi shaka. Since this forum is 100% table based, it is in my own opinion that you need to create a table style based on your likes. Essentially what I did was borrow some of the css from Eddies Blue Ice template and change the colors and a couple minor tweaks to suit my needs for the forum. Everywhere you see a <table> tag, you add your table class to it for example I might call mine class="forum_table" so it would look something like (and not exact), <table class="forum_table"> Also, this forum has some embedded css that you will need to play with for links and such. That is a must. How do we add buttons? Well, same way as the forum, we create a button style in the css file. Everywhere you see something that says something like this: <input type="submit" value="Delete Board" /> You would change that code to reflect your new button style by adding a class to it and changing it to button type like this: <button type="submit" class="button_style" value="Delete Board" /> Delete Board</button> Essentially, it does take some work and tweaking to get the forum right. If it is time you have, then you will pull it off. if you are short on time, I would avoid working on it right away. At bare minimum, you need to get a good table css created to start with. If you post some a screenshot of what you are trying to change in one place, I will tell you exactly what to change or where to do it at least.

Not a problem at all. Sorry i could not go any deeper in to it and make the rest of it work properly. that template needs a LOT of work. I am glad it is working for you.

I want to move the new topic and reply buttons to the top of the forums and threads instead of the bottom but I keep getting errors. My little php knowledge is not getting me very far tonight. Anyone? And I am in need of a good WYSIWYG for it as well. the last one I tried got my site hacked (ages ago). Preferably one that allows youtube. that would be sweet.

Hey Parkho, I can't help but notice on your dev site, there is a place in the dashboard to edit email templates. However, in version 2.2 php version, there is not when Installed on my site. Is this on purpose? If not, I think we are missing the sidebar_pm.php maybe? And one very tiny small issue, when I click Pilot manager in the admin panel, it literally opens every category drawer all the way down the admin page. I attached an image with all the category drawers open. Pardon my non artistic graphical skills! Thanks for another awesome module Parkho. Ray

Nice choice in templates for that VA! I used it for mine too. How ironic is that! lol. There is not a lot to mine left default. However, since I did not pay for the template and got the free version, I left the copyright in the footer back to ShapeBootstrap Nice job man. I like it.

Here is the verdict, There is to much wrong with this template for me to tie that much time up in it. I have came up with a quick, dirty fix for you. To fix the white links on white background, do the following, OPEN lance/layout.php FIND <style> html{ background-color: #d8d8d8; background-image: url(http://www.designbolts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/simple-pattern-white-seamless-website-background.jpg); } body{ } a{ color: #000; } .cont{ } .top{ background-color: #adabab; text-align: right; } .banner{ background-color: #cecece; height: 220px; align-content: center; } #top .right{ height: } a{ color: white; } .head{ background-color: #ffffff; vertical-align: middle; min-height: 100px; } .logo{ } #logo img{ margin-top: 20px; width:100%; max-width:300px; max-height: 90px; margin-left: 10px; } div{ margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } .info{ width: 100%; padding: 6px 20px 6px 25px; margin: 5px 10px 10px 1px; color: #FFF; background-color: #1F4788; /* text-shadow: 0px 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); */ -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 2px 4px #888; -moz-box-shadow: 0px 2px 4px #888; box-shadow: 0px 2px 4px #888; } h9{ font-size: 1.5em; } .bg{ background-color: #ffffff; margin-left: 200px; margin-right: 200px; border-bottom-color: aqua; } </style> REPLACE WITH <style> html{ background-color: #d8d8d8; background-image: url(http://www.designbolts.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/simple-pattern-white-seamless-website-background.jpg); } body{ } .cont{ } .top{ background-color: #adabab; text-align: right; } .banner{ background-color: #cecece; height: 220px; align-content: center; } #top .right{ height: } /* unvisited link */ a:link { color: #232323; } /* visited link */ a:visited { color: #232323; } /* mouse over link */ a:hover { color: #3bafda; } /* selected link */ a:active { color: #232323; } .head{ background-color: #ffffff; vertical-align: middle; min-height: 100px; } .logo{ } #logo img{ margin-top: 20px; width:100%; max-width:300px; max-height: 90px; margin-left: 10px; } div{ margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } .info{ width: 100%; padding: 6px 20px 6px 25px; margin: 5px 10px 10px 1px; color: #FFF; background-color: #1F4788; /* text-shadow: 0px 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); */ -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 2px 4px #888; -moz-box-shadow: 0px 2px 4px #888; box-shadow: 0px 2px 4px #888; } h9{ font-size: 1.5em; } .bg{ background-color: #ffffff; margin-left: 200px; margin-right: 200px; border-bottom-color: aqua; } </style> I am sorry that is the fix I gave. It is wrong and I know it, but it will work. This template just has way to much wrong with it for me to tie up any time in for free and since it is freeware, I will not try to make any money off of it so me and this template is pretty much done. Let me know if you have any issues, but that little fix should do just fine for you and get you on your way. Cheers! Ray

I'm looking in to this skin. I give them kudos for releasing it for free to share with the community, but if it was payware, I would demand a refund. POOR work. I am doing what I can to help you out on this one. This skin has embedded styles, inline styles and all sorts of stuff. YUCK! I am no pro and will admit that right up front but this is just wrong. Grateful for the share, but wrong code. Give me an hour or two to sort out the css and I'll let you know what to do to fix it.

My other post is accurate on what top search for, but if you can give me some screenshots I'll take a look. I just got requested to install this template for another person, so While I am at it, I might as well take a look and help others out. So get me some screenshots and I'll give you a hand, EXCEPT, we are going to discuss it in your other post in the skinning thread http://forum.phpvms.net/topic/22701-free-phpvms-template-lance/#entry127194

That can get to be a PITA quickly. I had to not only get an api key, but enable it as well before my map would work. Good luck on that adventure. I hope someone who has a clear idea can help so I can take notes as well.

Nice double post. If you only post in one place it is much easier for someone to help you and keep track of where they posted at.

Do a quick search in your css for all the #ffffff or #FFFFFF or #fff or #FFF I know that is not the exact answer you are looking for but will have to do until someone comes along who knows this skin that can tell you. When I can't find something I wild cared it and 99% of the time, I find it. Scratch that. I just checked and they (Lance) actually embedded css in the layout.php file. I put a fix for this issue on the other post I linked to one or two posts down from this one.

Both of these pieces get added to local.config? I am getting those hideous looking fonts as well as depicted in the top sig in Eddies pic. **EDIT** Got it. Thanks for this answer Parkho. Have you found a font size trick yet?

I just viewed the source for your pilots page, man I think you have a lot of div issues. In my personal way of doing it when I am not sure, I tag each div with a commented number. When it is time to close div tags, I view my numbers and tag my closing divs with numbers as well to make sure each one is closed properly. Then when all is said and done, you can remove comments if you wish. I tend to (not always because i am lazy) leave comments on each opening div or section so I know what it is example <!-- Div 1 About Us --> Add my code here <-- closing div for about us -->

you need to check your closing div tags I see a couple to many right at the top of the code. <div class="clearfix colelem" id="u1543"><!-- group --> <div class="clearfix grpelem" id="u1546"><!-- group --> <p>Pilots</p> </div> </div> [color=#ff0000]** What is this tag closing?**[/color] <div class="grpelem" id="u1553"><!-- simple frame --></div> </div>[color=#ff0000]** Or this one? I think you need to delete the other one I have highlighted and let this one close your opening div tag.[/color] As for the rest, Ill go look at your site and view the source and see if I can spot anything. I am not the worlds greatest but I get lucky every now and again.

Nice looking skin job. I have done the same exact thing to mine as well. It works out real nice. My issue is I have yet to get font awesome to work in all the echo statements. On another note, I get a for each error on line 28 of forum_list_post when i try to delete a post. Now ironically enough, that was yesterday. today the error is gone, but the post deletion is still not right. When I delete a post, instead of going back to another page like I think it should, I go here instead: http://imgur.com/a/x6jtJ *EDIT* I just realized this is the deleted post page. I get redirected back here since it does not delete the topic, but only the post as you will see in the next pic I linked to. Now when I go back to look at my forum, the post I just deleted it still shows up as a valid topic. http://imgur.com/a/x6jtJ Now I got curious and went to go look at my database to see what the 411 (information for the youngsters out there) was. Sure enough, the post was deleted. The topic, was not. One more quick one that comes up from time to time as a ghost ship does, On another VA site that I have setup using this forum 4 years ago or so, it has a post that someone will make that just mysteriously will not allow replies. the author or admin can edit the post, but no one can make a reply to it. I can look in the database and the reply is there, but not on the forum page. lol Odd to say the least. But we are talking 1 post in 50 or so that it happens to so no biggie to me really. But problem 1 I posted with the screenshots, that is an issue I need to try to fix. Any help would be awesome. Here is a attached screenshot of mine so far. Not the fanciest in the world I am sure but it will suffice for me. Those font awesome fonts you see in the category name, I don't recommend my method to make that work. I was not able to do it via the code obviously because ti calls once and pulls each category. Therefor, it would give the same font awesome font to every category. I had to go in the database and edit the category name and include the link tot he font. It totally jacks up the edit category page up top near the category name. The only way to fix it is to get in the database and delete the font awesome from the category name in the database. Dirty fix but works in a pinch. I wish someone would pick this forum back up and go with it open source and let others add to it, maybe recode and loose all the echos if possible. Just grabbing at straws. I love the other forum that is available here but the cost (and it is well worth it) stops me from using it. **EDIT** I just added forum Icons to mine as well.

Thanks man I'll give that a shot. I was banging my head on the wall trying to figure out why it kept adding page links to my nav.

Thanks for the information Parkho. I appreciate it. I did try as well with the vanilla phpVMS on chrome and it is still looping on me. Just for the sake of doing so, I jumped on my phone and got on Dolphin Browser and logged in to my site and went to downloads and it still looped. I'm not sure what is up. My only option at this point in time is to hard code links in to all the downloads that I may have in the future, I really need to get the video I made put up here so folks can see it in action. It is 350 megs though. I might just put it up on my youtube real quick. Here we go. here is a video from youtube that I Put up. Sorry the video quality is so bad. I thought Cam Studio was a tad better than that.

Hmm Ok. On the Crystal template vanilla phpVMS it is still a no go for downloads. on my home made template, once I removed my jsNewsBar it started working all but the java part of the download. I still have to manually click the start download link.

Hmm Ironically enough I just got this to work on my own template. I have to cclick the link where it says to m anual download but it is not looping. But the automatic download will not start. On my localhost server, it is still looping. I'm not sure what is up.

I changed the code a bit to reflect a message instead of an error when there are no expenses added to the airline. In airline_finance.php FIND <?php foreach($expenses as $expense) { ?> <tr> <td><?php echo $expense->name ;?></td> <td><?php echo FinanceData::formatMoney($expense->cost);?></td> <td> <?php if($expense->type == "M") { echo 'Monthly'; } elseif($expense->type == "F") { echo 'Per Flight'; } elseif($expense->type == "P") { echo 'Percent (Month)'; } else { echo 'Percent (Per Flight)'; } ?> </td> </tr> <?php } ?> REPLACE WITH <?php if(!$expenses) {echo '<tr><td align="center" colspan="3">There are no expenses set up at this time!</td></tr>';} else { foreach($expenses as $expense) { ?> <tr> <td><?php echo $expense->name ;?></td> <td><?php echo FinanceData::formatMoney($expense->cost);?></td> <td> <?php if($expense->type == "M") { echo 'Monthly'; } elseif($expense->type == "F") { echo 'Per Flight'; } elseif($expense->type == "P") { echo 'Percent (Month)'; } else { echo 'Percent (Per Flight)'; } ?> </td> </tr> <?php } } ?> Now we get a nice message that there are no expenses setup at this time instead of a error on the page. I am more than sure this will work for an airline that has only one pilot in the setup process that has no flights yet. I am going to go look at it now as we speak and see what happens. Thanks again for another great module Parkho. I like it. I appreciate the share with us. Here is mine skinned with the error gone and a message given.

I am hold with changing anything. I just found a phpVMS issue that until I get it solved, I can not in good faith alter anyone's code and say it don't work. lol That would be wrong of me. Oh hey on a side note, I am back to the no fields being filled in thing and for the life of me I can not figure out why. Here is what I got going in exact order so you can follow along with me step by step. I tend to confuse people at times. I go to my admin panel and create a new airport in the phpVMS system and choose it to be an active hub. I go to the hubs module and before I have even added a new hub, there the airport is that I just added. Instead of adding a new hub since that one is already there I edit it. I add all fields necessary and click submit. I go to the hub page and realize I made a mistake. I go back to the admin panel, to the hub module, click to edit the hub and the fields are empty. Just to be sure it stored in the database even though I just saw it working on the hub_view page, I look in the database and sure enough, phpvms_hubs is populated with the hub info I added, but yet the fields in the admin panel remain empty. I know I had this issue recently and solved it, but I don't know what I did. 1 thing I did try was simply to add a new hub anyhow even though it clearly existed and sure enough, all fields are empty. Any clues chief? it's not hurting my feelings any lol just more of a aesthetics thing for me I suppose.

Ok I got an issue with downloads. I have one site using Eddies Blue Ice theme and another using my own bootstrap theme and any time I click on downloads, it gets stuck in a refresh loop. Eddie and I came to the conclusion that it was my custom slider. Moving forward. Now on to my own theme that I made, i had the same problem. Click the download an get stuck in a refresh loop. Once again, I thought it had to be my slider or something my template related. So I switched back to the crystal template and what do you know, a refresh loop on download. Fast forward to today after i got good and ripe over this and I installed a FRESH vanilla (nothing extra installed, out of the box install) phpVMS 5.5.2. Fired it up, added a download and what do you know, Refresh loop on download. Soooo, It MUSt be my localhost server for sure. Most certainly that is the answer right? Wrong. I downloaded from github a fresh brand new zip file of phpvms 5.5.2 , installed it on my production server added a download and refresh loop on download. I am now convinced it is a phpVMS issue and not a template or server issue. Anyone else having this issue? The exact issue is real simple to replicate. Create a new download category Create a new download in that category Go to your downloads page Find the new download Click said download and watch the refresh in action. *EDIT* I recorded a 30 second cam studio video for you all to see of it in actionbut it is way to large at 350 meg. Sorry. Maybe I can drop it in my dropbox if anyone wants to see it in action. As I said, this install is 100% pure vanilla. Nothing added, nothing taken away. 100% default Simpilot code. Thanks for taking a look at my post.

Hey when you all create skins, how do you stop the sytem from adding pages created in the admin panel to your core_navigation file? I want the pages view-able public, but do not want the system to add them to my navigation file automatically.

Hi Strider. Just a quick update. I have the Blue Ice template by Eddie and a bootstrap template that I am working on, and onboth instances if I leave the pagination script in, it destroys the page layout and I will have no pilots list. <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $('#plist').dataTable( { "sPaginationType": "bootstrap" } ); } ); </script> Am I just looking over something real simple? I would love to use the newer style pagination that everyone has now but can go back to the old one if needs be. I'm really stumped. I am going to do a test install of the module on a vanilla phpvms that I have running locally and see if it does it then or not as well.
