Hello, This is a vanilla installation of V7.03 with default skin we have started to build & customize. We noticed the Pilot profile page is missing some information compared to another previous test-install on our server. The "dark mode" picture shows the issue-affected page where the API key & other info are not displayed, the second picture (light mode) is from the previous V7 testing instance we had. Any ideas and suggestions are always very much appreciated.

Yes, sorry for mixing things up!! Didn't even think about that.... It's not a theme and there's no developer involved, that is default, vanilla V7, but I'll repost this accordingly. Thanks

Thanks as always for the prompt response. I couldn't see it, but it's there now. Speaking of things I cannot see, after the last update to 7.03, in the Pilot Profile the API key is not shown anymore. Is that normal? I realized the whole bottom part is missing compared to another test install I have (2nd picture)

Apologies if this has been discussed previously. I see the G-Force landing in the vmsACARS report summary after the flight, but the information is not passed to V7 it seems (or at least I cannot see it in the pirep) If I am correct, is there a way to pass that information along in V7 backend? Afterall, G-Force is a much more important parameter than VS when judging landings. Thanks in advance!!

Sometimes I am telling you I want to bang my head against the wall....... You wouldn't believe what the issue was! The php.ini had all values post_max_size, memory_limit, etc. set to numbers without the M at the end so in reality they were all KB. Fixed that, all issues disappeared smh. Sorry for wasting y'all's time!!

Hey, yes I was reading about csrf tokens and trying to figure it out with the help of ChatGPT, but to no avail yet. I will follow ProaAvia suggestions as well and investigate that too. And yes, it has nothing to do with vmsAcars specifically and it is browser irrelevant as it happens with any of them.... The installation is fairly vanilla yet, and there are no themes or mods at this time. Everything is still the "factory" default. I updated it to 7.02 and it did so correctly, flushed all the caches, but I still get the error. The page doesn't even try to load, it just immediately goes to 419. I think there must be some setting server side in the VPS that causes this. I turned off all kinds of server caching mechanisms and still trying to figure out where the solution is

Possibly a silly question from a phpvms V7. Sometimes when saving or doing other stuff on the website I get a 419 Page Expired. In this case particularly when trying to save the newly acquired VMS license, but it's not the only example. Any tips? What am I missing?

Bump - Fixed all issues so far.... Not over just yet however

Thanks for the logic!! To be continued.....

Apologies if this has come up already. I ran a quick search and could not find any helpful answers. Say we purchased/downloaded the schedule package from a site of the likes of vaschedules.net. Allegedly, they provide the import templates for: Airports (this works) Fleet (this does not work) Schedules (this I don't know yet) So, I thought the aircraft template they used was out of fashion and downloaded the templates pack available in here. I copied all of the values in their rightful spot and tried importing once again to no joy. Same error: "CSV file doesn't seem to match import type" What am I missing? Thanks in advance

Yes, I am afraid as well that may be true. Not that Recaptcha is so efficient anyway..... Great thinking. Thanks 🙂

Hello guys, I am running into a situation I have never seen before in PHP VMS (and I have seen quite a bit). Some script is bypassing the Recaptcha at the registration page and consistently registering new pilots at a fairly high rate (like 50 in 15 minutes). If I put the VA in Maintenance mode the issue stops but as soon as I reopen it restarts...... Not sure how to contain this or where to start looking for issues. Any help would be very appreciated so thanks in advance

Great, thanks. Kind of like the 3rd and 4th idea option. For the sake of being practical and learn if I were to edit the DB, which one is the correct table to look at? The flight idea can be implemented later once we onboard everyone. Thanks!!

OK, I understand. Which would you suggest as the fastest way to do that? I mean, in practice, how would I go about creating a transaction (whether debit or credit)? Really have not understood yet the core logic of this new platform (which seems great however and attracts me) and therefore I am not sure where to start 🙃 As always, I appreciate the time you are taking to help us out.

In the old phpvms we had the ability to modify the amount of $$ a pilot had. For instance we could have implemented a sign-up bonus or similar ideas. I cannot see a way for Admin to access the pilot finances or modifying them. Am I missing something? Thanks

Very valuable lesson learned here!! Clearing the cache was the main culprit. For future reference this is the format that works greatly: MAIL_MAILER=mailgun MAILGUN_DOMAIN='your mailgun registered domain' MAILGUN_SECRET='the long api key here' Want to thank you again for all the help and patience 🙏

It's clearly something wrong I am doing - or not doing The cache is a great hint as I was not clearing it after every try, so..... that's a great starting point. I am sure not clearing the cache has made useless many of my attempts. The config you wrote above should work as you say, thanks for writing it down as a confirmation. I will win this battle....😅

OK, thanks! I've tried many combinations, but not that one. I will now and report. Mailgun is setup correctly with the zone records modified on the domain..... So that's checked. I know where to get all the API details and keys on their Dashboard..... Checked too. For sure emails are not going out so it's phpvms unable to get them out because I have not configured it well...... Check. Ironically, I cannot make it even if I use the SMTP settings as provided by MailGun.... But I will keep trying....

Nope, I wasn't sure.... Just like I wasn't sure about the "Secret" 😃 I copied it from the API interface within Mailgun, they call it API address so I thought..... Well, you already know what I thought Let me try with just americanva.org.......

Fantastic article. At the time of me reading this article I believe the module you mentioned above already came out as I saw the ability to create the mentioned separate profiles. The only thing I can add (and that only applies to some extent) is that it could get a bit complicated/time consuming to structure the setup as described when running a major operations including 100s of aircraft with many different configurations like for instance replicating a big airline. Other than that, the explication is perfect and very much appreciated!!

I know I am missing something small somewhere because I'm still getting no joy..... Attached the link for the log where I cannot find error about the mail (Mailgun is not receiving anything either) and the ENV.php screenshot of the config. https://www.dropbox.com/s/1unt7p21nqi13rl/laravel-2022-01-18.log?dl=0

Great answer as always, thanks. So the Secret is the API and that clears the concept. I will modify the ENV.php with the mailgun code posted above as per the docs and see where we go from there. To be continued.....

Need a bit of help with the email config as well as it does not seem to work properly. I signed up for Mailgun and they gave me 2 options: API or SMTP Couldn't really follow the explanation in the phpvms docs (as I do not know where to find the "Secret" as shown below) [quote] To use Mailgun, set your env.php like: MAIL_MAILER=mailgun MAILGUN_DOMAIN='your mailgun domain' MAILGUN_SECRET='your mailgun secret', [quote] so I choose SMTP and configured the ENV.php as follows: MAIL_MAILER='mailgun' MAIL_FROM_NAME='American Virtual Admin' MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS='admin@americanva.org' MAIL_HOST= 'smtp.mailgun.org' MAIL_PORT='587' MAIL_ENCRYPTION= 'TLS' MAIL_USERNAME= 'postmaster@americanva.org' MAIL_PASSWORD= 'our password' No joy. What am I missing please?

Thanks! For now I am just exploring.... If we do end up choosing to move forward, I am sure we will have more than one question and we will interact many times again Cheers
