[Why?]

Gentlemen,

My response to an email I received regarding the template design:

I fully appreciate and respect any copyright for Dave's software, I have also not removed any embedded copyright notices from his addons that he has published on www.phpvms.net. I coded this template from the ground up based on advice and information that Dave had provided on the forums, I am prepared to send you the zip file for this template in evidence thereof. I will happily make minor layout changes to the front page but the presentation thereof will always be similar as everyone using phpvms is using the same code.

There was no malicious intent here, it was purely a case of coding a template based on Dave's design that was considered practical and effective.

Just a few pointers to clear things up:

• Unlike many others here I have provided code, albeit minor in comparasion to some, on this forum for everyones use My link
  

• The css for the basic layout was obtained from cssportal
  

• The css for the borders was obtained from Nifty Corners
  

• The dropdown menu was obtained from cssmenubuilder
  

I honestly don't believe that I have stolen certainly haven't copied and pasted anything from anyone, everyone is using code that has been generously provided by talented programmers to display essentially similar data, with subtle differences in presentation.

Dave, please accept my humble apologies I will amend the template on my return from a business trip next week.

[Setting up the schedules]

Good day,

Would just like some feedback from other users to see if I could have more effective flight schedules. Currently I use real world schedules where the same route (flight number) is flown by different aircraft over the period of a week. I have appended A,B,C,D,E,F,G to the flight number to represent the day of the week, the flight numbers thus appear as 230A, 230B, 230C, etc. The schedules don't import without a unique flight number even though the aircraft flying the route may differ.

Are there any other possibilities to having three dimesional flight schedules ie flight number, day of the week and aircarft without using the method described above?

Other ideas would also be useful.

Many thanks

Mark

[Custom Page]

Hi Nabeel,

Is there a way to have a folder under the modules folder where we can store all these so called custom folders. By way of example, /core/modules/mymodules/module1/module1.php and so on. I get an error when I try and do it like this, something along the lines of module not found...

It would be helpful not to clutter the modules folder with all these custom folders.

Thanks

Mark

[Update problem]

Added the code to app.config.php which solved the problem.

[Update problem]

Extract from config file:

# VA Central

Config::Set('VACENTRAL_ENABLED', true);

Config::Set('VACENTRAL_API_SERVER', 'http://api.phpvms.net');

Config::Set('VACENTRAL_API_KEY', '7f6775e15d9XXXXXXXXXXc01090a0980');

Code amended.

Thanks

[Update problem]

Hi Nabeel,

Thanks, but I don't have that option in the admin panel

[Update problem]

Hi Nabeel,

I have registered with VA Central and inserted the code into my local.config.php file, do I need to do anything else as nothing seems to be updating. Also can't upload a logo.

Thanks

[REALScheduleLite beta 1.0 [DEPRECATED]]

Hi Trev,

Add the following to local.config.php and this will free up the schedules for multiple bookings.

# If someone places a bid, whether to disable that or not

Config::Set('DISABLE_SCHED_ON_BID', false);

Config::Set('DISABLE_BIDS_ON_BID', false);

Cheers

Hi Jeff,

Is it possible to filter the itinery by airline? I have different airlines and would like the itinery to be generated for a selected airline only.

Thanks in advance.

[Revision 918: updated admin panel, backend fixes, fsacars fix]

Hi Nabeel,

I have noticed this for awhile now and see that the bug is still there in this beta. From the "Pilot Center" to "View VA Finances" on the graph the total revenue line is actually the "Net Profit" as I see it. Worth a look I may be wrong.

Nabeel,

Here's a link:

[Google Maps and IE8]

The site has been going since December, and I have upgraded every so often to not fall too far behind the beta's.

I have been using the tpl's that come with the downloads and checking them with winmerge for changes.

The live acars map is fine, it seems to be with the drawing of the route thats the problem, although viewing the route from the admin section does display without problems. I assume it's the same tpl that generates the route map.

Mark

[Google Maps and IE8]

Good day,

When I use IE8 and view a PIREP report the Google map comes up blank, only the heading "Route Map" displays after the ACARS report. If I use FF the map displays perfectly.

I know the one simple solution "Don't use IE", I would appreciate some help please.

Using 2.1.915 and only added <div> at the top of the code to center in display area, no other changes.

Cheers
