This looks great. Maybe another thing that can be added are Stocks? They could be based off an API of real world stocks where pilots can compete to earn the most money(By percent of their original investment) monthly, quarterly, or even-...weekly.

14 hours ago, servetas said:
phpVMS v2.1 was developed by Nabeel but it is almost compatible with php versions up to 5.3.
phpVMS v5.5 was developed by simpilot and it is compatible with php versions up to 5.6. I believe it took its name because David tried to make v2.1 compatible with the latest php versions (such us 5.5-5.6) and as a result it took its versioning from PHP.
phpVMS v3 is based on a complete different framework and it is currently under development.
No, yeah...I know the difference. It's just that it's not much of a best practice. Glad to see v3 coming out, nevertheless.

Never understood how the versioning worked with phpVMS. One day it's 2.1, then it's 5.5, and now it's 3.0?

Maybe...Instead of suggesting that a cookie notification be added to phpVMS, we can suggest an admin field to add custom code to the <head></head> section of the website?
That'll allow people to add in Google Analytics, Newsletter Popups, Cookie Consents, and even modify their SEO a bit... -
Just a couple of quick points:
- HTTPs is more secure
- Rumor is Google ranks you higher if your website holds an SSL.
- A lot of the major shared hosting providers now provide a free "Shared SSL" with your monthly package.
- When you use your website with an SSL, every external .js and .css files should/must be linked in https:// as well.
- Even if the place where .js and .css files aren't secured(Like the API server), adding https:// will still work.
- SSLs are dope ✌
That being said, you can easily create an independent login/registration page and have those pages secured through SSL. It shouldn't affect the rest of your website. I'd say secure the account page, and the change password fields as well.

It doesn't look like
$portal_config['md_total_poster'];
is printing out anything. Did you spell that right? Try to echo it to debug it.
Should compile if
ORDER BY user_posts DESC LIMIT " . $portal_config['md_total_poster'];
is replaced to
ORDER BY user_posts DESC LIMIT 5";
The syntax looks right. It's gotta be some misspelling somewhere.

I'm guessing you're using Bootstrap? Have a look at this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11182240/how-do-i-fix-twitter-bootstrap-on-ie

When a time limit is executed on the server, I use Big Dump. It works a treat. I have used it many times. And I could just imagine how large a database could easily get with that many airports. I know when I imported the nav data I got the old ran out of memory error. I fixed it via my config file and got suspended by my host for over riding settings lol it was epic.
Haha. A host that isn't capable of configuring their server to prevent users from overriding settings is probably not a host you want to be in, anyways. Trust me. Hope you got the problem figured out though.

Can you answer these for me:
- Browsers you tested(+ Version, if applicable) Use: https://www.whatismybrowser.com/
- Are you using adblocker? Any other addons for the browser?
- Did you use DavidClark's phpVMS 5.5.x, or the default phpVMS link you found on phpVMS.net?
If you're having the problem, and someone else is not...It probably is a compatibility issue. With Chrome, I never had this problem.
- Browsers you tested(+ Version, if applicable) Use: https://www.whatismybrowser.com/

Just a quick query,
I know we have the nav database we can add. Question is, has anyone ever bombed their database with thousands of airports and then exported the table?
Oooo....You said "Bomb" and "Airport". Arrest this man! Just kidding. #BadJokesAboutTheTSA.
Anyways, SQL can handle a lot of rows. I've had databases going with upwards to 7,000,000 rows(Should've used MangoDB, I know) and it exported just fine. It will take a while to parse all of the rows/columns into the file format, but it'll get there eventually.
The only limitation is set by your host when it comes to PHP execution time limit. In that case, what I'd recommend doing is exporting the databases in intervals of maybe 1,000 and see if that works for you.

Hey Guys! I thought we might need a thread like this. I used to do website feedbacks for $5 on Fiverr.com before and a lot of people loved my service.
So, if you post your URL here - When I get the chance, I can give you some feedback on maybe some small improvements. I may not always be available, but I'll try to reply as often as I can. This is a volunteer thing, and it's free of charge.
Anyone is welcome to give feedback to other members.
Please mention your Website URL, and I'll reply when I get the chance.

Okay, the photo helps a bit. A few questions:
- Did you modify the content of a file titled "airport_search.tpl" If so, please use pastebin.net to post the new modified content.
- Do you have aircrafts added to the "Fleet" from the phpVMS Admin Panel?
- Do you have any schedules already loaded in the system? If not, add a schedule with an aircraft originating from GMMN
- Are there any aircrafts assigned to that airport, yet? Perhaps no aircrafts are assigned to GMMN yet.
I do apologize if the questions seem generic, but a lot of people have ZERO experience with how software works so it's good to cover the basics first.
- Did you modify the content of a file titled "airport_search.tpl" If so, please use pastebin.net to post the new modified content.

If you post your question on the Support sub-forum, you may be able to get this for free...It might even be a ridiculous easy solution. Who knows. Post this over there, and also use pastebin to display your code for the pages with this dropdown menu, as well as a snapshot of the database containing the aicrafts. A link would also be great, as it could be a JS error.

So we are using all caps now? I am not sure why you are attacking me for giving my opinion, and quite frankly I think more than enough has been said to give the OP an idea of what they need. In terms of the hosting companies you just listed, their non-promotional prices for their cheapest shared hosting are as follows
BlueHost: $7.99/m
Godaddy: $7.99/m
A2Hosting: $9.99/m
Which btw are quite realistic prices considering they run expensive hardware, provide 24/7 support, and have plenty of included features. I didn't say these guys were kiddie hosts. I was referring to some of the companies we see popping up offering $0.99 /m shared hosting run off of a vps or what have you.
Redundancy is something you mention, which is a big consideration. While you are valid in saying it is best to separate your services, servers such as a VPS from Linode is far more reliable in terms of uptime than you will get from most shared hosts, simply because of the higher vulnerability of a shared environment.
My point is: No virtual airline NEEDS anything more than a Shared Host(At worst, a reseller account) from a Reliable hosting company such as GoDaddy, BlueHost & A2Hosting. On top of that, unless you're really interested in spending more than $40-60/month, you should stick to shared hosting.
Promotional Pricing or not...That's what the topic creator would pay if he chooses to go with Shared Hosting. Assuming he would sign up for a yearly plan.

You won't be able to extract true "Scheduled" cargo flights on Flightaware(At least not for UPS, FDX, etc...) The best that Flightaware can give you is flight history of a certain cargo airline for the last X hours. if that's what you want, use that Kipplex link. Keep in mind that Cargo airlines change their schedules a lot more often than scheduled airlines...So the rotation they ran last week, won't be the rotation they run this week.
Your best bet is the Crazy Creative module linked above. That'll at least give you a lot more flights you can work off of.

Hello. Welcome to the forum
Yes, it is absolutely possible. On the php file, at the top add the following line:
<?php include '/path/to/core/codon.config.php'; ?>
For more information on how to implement this on your page, check out these documentations: http://forum.phpvms.net/page/index.html/_/developers-guides/how-to-use-and-access-the-api-r16
Here's also a thread created by a member of the community that shows some of the code snippets you can use, after having added that line: http://pastebin.com/ERuvPcmV

As I stated, "for people that know what they are doing with a server". This would imply they have no need for cPanel. Perhaps you are getting VPS confused with a private cloud? As you said, you haven't really looked into companies like Linode, but from personal experience I have gotten far better performance from Linode than I have on many traditional VPS servers.
You are right, it is rather easy to find shared hosting suitable for most VA websites for $3-5, however I am not including unregistered, kiddie host companies that don't know half of what they are doing. If you look at some of the more respectable companies, you are looking at around the $7 mark.
I am not getting confused, no. Having worked with Shared, VPS, Reseller, Dedicated, and Cloud before - I have more than a general idea of their strengths and weaknesses. In this very case, it is absolutely useless and a waste of anyone's money to try to run a virtual airline that won't get more than a few hundred unique hits/month on anything more than a shared or (if absolutely necessary) reseller package.
I also don't consider any of these hosts "unregistered, kiddie" companies:
https://www.bluehost.com/shared
https://www.a2hosting.com/web-hosting
https://www.godaddy....ing/web-hosting
What I do consider "kiddie" companies are the ones ran by folks who haven't even graduated high school, then buy Reseller Package and pretend like they run a "Data Center". Another good example of kiddie companies are the ones that pretend they have a data center, but in fact host their site on shared hosting w/ another company and simply "Dropship" their server. The latter type of companies should at least have the decency and honesty of not claiming they operate a "Data Center".
Another thing that was not discussed is if your Website and Teamspeak Server are both hosted on the same server(Which is implied, if the topic creator wants to get a "server host") - Then if one goes down, so does the other. I'd want at least one line of communication open between my customers(in this case, visitors), and me.
If you don't take my advice, that's fine. At least you got an unbiased opinion from someone who DOESN'T run a 'hosting' company. *Cough* *Cough*

I have to respectfully disagree in some circumstances. For people that know what they are doing with a server, a VPS can often be the cheaper option when choosing to run a web server and teamspeak etc. Of course, there will be pleanty of shared plans that can outperform a "cheap" vps, however I would much rather spend $10/m on a Linode box and throw my website and Teamspeak on there rather than pay $7 for shared hosting and another $5 - $10 for a Teamspeak where I have little to no control.
Which circumstances are you talking about?
I haven't really looked at that Linode box thing, but I can pretty much tell you won't be getting cPanel, which unless you know how to work with SSH - You're gonna need. Not to mention these are not "Real" private servers - And won't even perform close to the real thing.
Also, $7 for a shared host is exaggerating. You can find a lot of the plans you need for as little as $3-5/month. Same for team speak, you can get what you need for less than $5.
Bottom line, if your budget is less than $40 a month...Go Shared.

I can't think of a single virtual airline that would need anything more than Shared Hosting...Some can run just fine on free hosts. Although the appeal of having a "Dedicated Server" looks nice, and sounds great - It's very much useless to a virtual airline and a waste of your funds.
I know a client of mine used GoDaddy's shared hosting, and he managed to get 50k+ unique visitors in a month without a single bump on the road.
For Teamspeak, just rent one out from another host. Don't waste your time+money setting one up in a VPS/Dedicated.

Hello,
Where do it have to put these lines?
<!-- Import style.css --> <link href="<?php echo SITE_URL?>/lib/skins/holiday/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" /> <link href="<?php echo SITE_URL?>/lib/skins/holiday/css/materialize.min.css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" /> <link href="<?php echo SITE_URL?>/lib/skins/holiday/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" /> <link href="<?php echo SITE_URL?>/lib/skins/holiday/css/fontic-hotels.css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" /> <link href="<?php echo SITE_URL?>/lib/skins/holiday/css/owl.carousel.css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" /> <link href="<?php echo SITE_URL?>/lib/skins/holiday/css/fotorama.css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" /> <link href="<?php echo SITE_URL?>/lib/skins/holiday/css/nouislider.css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" /> <link href="<?php echo SITE_URL?>/lib/skins/holiday/css/uber-google-maps.min.css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.0/jquery-ui.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"></script>
After this or at the end of the page?
Regards,
Right after.

This really sounds like a good idea, about time someone makes use of those Virtual $ for something.

Sounds like a linking issue. Your Bootstrap CSS is linking fine but not the theme css.
Check layout.tpl's head and make sure the CSS link is correct - Also, check that you changed your local.config.php so that the "SITE_URL" config is also correct. If you've got a direct link to the non-working site, that might help.

What kind of features are we talking about on this app? Is there any level of customization for the airline? Are you charging the virtual airline or the end-user? If it's a paid app, would there be any app-exclusive feature that the user can't access through the default browser (Or even just a cheap $5 to develop iframed PhoneGap app)?
You don't have to answer those questions, but its good to keep them in your head for app development.
You'll probably get a couple of sales at maybe ~$150 if you were going to charge the airline for the app - Considering it's custom UI and you're handling annual developer license cost. If its the end-user, I'd consider a freemium model where the app is free w/ ads and an option to remove ads for $$. One thing I can guarantee you - You're not going to be getting much long-term profit from an app with this niche of a market. If anything - Consider this more of a donation of your time.
