That worked. Thanks much!

Thanks for the help. When I added the line above, I get an error when trying to access the Pilot Center. The error is: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting T_FUNCTION in D:\Hosting\5392367\html\sunbird\core\modules\Schedules\Schedules.php on line 64

Hi folks. I would like to put a pilots scheduled flights right on the pilot center page so they won't have to click on a link to it. I've copied the code from the "My Flight Bids" page and pasted it in a new table I created in the Pilot Center page. It displays the copied table ok, but tells me there are no flights schedule even though there are. I'm obviously missing something crucial but I only have a very limited knowledge on web design (I use Dreamweaver) and practically no knowledge on PHP. Could someone guide me through this process? Thanks. Dan

Thank you Nabeel. The file was "pages_content.tpl" if anyone else is interested.

If I add a page called "New Page" using the administrator, it adds the page and places text at the beginning. This text always seems to be the name of the page. "New Page" in this example. If I open the html file it created, the page is blank. I can't find the "New Page" text. How can I remove this? Thanks Dan

I got it to work thanks to all of yoiu. I may actually get this airline off the ground ;D

That was just what I needed. Thanks. I'm going to use "simplechat" from peachydandy.com. I launch the program by loading the simplechat.php file. So, I've gone into the admin panel in my VA and added a page called "chat". How do I load the simplechat.php file from there? Can I do it in a way that will keep my va banner on the top and the navigation buttons on the left side like the rest of my site? Thanks for the help.

I couldn't find the thread you were referring to, but I think I'm just going to set up different flights for different aircraft. Thanks

So if understand right, a chat program written in java or flash would be the way to go. I don't know anything about programming and very little about html. I was wondering if it would be easy to just add a page in the phpVMS admin panel and somehow put the chat program there? Sorry, I'm still in the "learning" phase :-[

Thank you, I realize that. But I noticed that FSACARS pulls the plane listed in the schedule. Is there a way we can have the pilot choose an aircraft to fly when he places a bid for it?

I'd like to setup a chat server so our pilots can talk to each other. Can anyone guide me on how to learn more about this. Two criteria. #1 it has to be free #2 I'd like to be able to integrate it somehow with phpVMS Thanks

Hi Folks. I hope everyone is having a great new year! I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I can't find anything during a search. If I have a flight scheduled say from New York to London, but I want different aircraft types to fly it (i.e., 747, 767, 777, etc.) do I have to create different flights for each aircraft or is there a way to setup one schedule and choose between allowed aircraft? Thanks. Dan

Thanks Nabeel. Updating did the trick. There seems to only certain types of images that are accepted. (i.e., jpeg) Is that correct and what types are accepted. Also, if the image sizes are changed to 80 x 80 is there a limitation on the inital size or dimension of the original image? Thanks

Ok, will do. When I reinstall, is it better just to delete the folder and create a new one? Also, will I need to create a new database or can I just use the old one? Thanks. Dan

They were set to read and write but I reset them just in case. I contacted the hosting company and verified that I could upload through PHP. But I figured that was the case anyway since I had done it once before when I initially set everything up. I'm also having other issues as well. I can't delete a pilot from the administrator group and my rank images aren't showing up. I wonder if I did something while trying to learn everything that messed up the program. Do you think a reinstall would be in order?

I just had a pilot message me and told me that he couldn't setup an avatar. No error message, it says the profile was saved, but the image didn't show up. I logged into my hosting server and did not see a new image in the libavatar folder. I then tried to change my avatar image and had the same issue. There doesn't seem to be an error message but the image won't change. I did a search here and found some references to permissions being set to 777 on the avatar folders. On my hosting account, all I get to choose is "read" and "write". It doesn't say anything about 777. The version I'm using is 1.2.700 Any ideas on what to try next? Dan

Currently in the "hanging tight" position ;D Thanks for your hard work and dedication. Dan

Sorry. I forgot to mention that version 1.2.700

Hi Nabeel. I'm having the same issue. I have NM set up in the local config file but the distance in the schedule is incorrect. Does the code you provided above have to be input in any particular file? Sorry I don't know anything about PHP but I am learning Dan

HA! It works! Thanks Nabeel Dan

I sent you the PM I never get far enough to see the "check database connection" message. Dan

Ok, so I've setup the database and tried to run the installation on my site. I never get to run the install. I get the following error. Fatal error: Call to a member function get_results() on a non-object in D:Hosting5392367htmlsunbirdphpvmscoreclassesDB.class.php on line 280 I have no idea what that means, but I can tell you that I was unable to find an area where I could set permissions on the database. I was hoping that they would be set "on" by default. Is this error permissions related? Thanks. Dan

Wow! Thanks for the fast response! And thanks for the welcome and the help. I'll continue the setup and see if I run into the same issues as yesterday. Dan

Hi folks. I'm trying to get my airline started and have decided to try phpVMS. The only problem is that I don't know anything about php or database servers. I hope you'll bear with me and be my teachers. I tried doing the install myself yesterday and it didn't go well. So I've decided to start all over and get some help as I go along. I'm hosting with Godaddy and am trying to get the MySQL database setup first. It's asking me some questions that I'm unsure of. 1. I have a choice between version 4.1 or 5.0. Is there a preference? I saw version 4.1 on the installation documents here but I thought I'd make sure first. 2. It wants to do know if I want to install "DSN". I have no idea what that is. 3. It wants to know if I want to "Allow Direct Database Access". A note underneath says "Databases with External access are located on a seperate server than databases without External Access. These are the questions I have so far. Thanks for the help. Dan
