I really like both of yours Simpilot and Olbi. Very cool Looks like you are going to have some fun picking by the time everyone has added theirs Nabeel

I was just messing around with photoshop. Also, why go with something that others have, isn't the idea of design to create new concepts? Also, call me old skool, but I find alot of the "Web 2.0" logos very boring, and very much alike, both in fonts used and in effects. I much prefer something that isn't too busy, but will stand out. That's my own personal feelings anyways

Thanks Just been messing round with it some more, here's v2:

I've been messing round too, here's my feeble attempt

I build and sell websites as a small part of my companies activities, and I learned very early on that you must have a professional image before you start trying to attract interest in your products. This means putting everything into place, eg your domain and website, BEFORE you try to attract customers. If you don't show you are committed and have a professional setup then customers are going to be very few and far between. Website dev companies are ten a penny on the internet, and you will be going up against each and every one of these, so it's essential that you do things right before you start trading. It's also very important to find a niche within the market, and to exploit this. In my case I studied what other companies in my area offered in the way of support and tried to offer better. I decided to target my existing client base, as I knew that word of mouth is always the best form of advertising. If I could convince these clients that the services I was offering were better than the opposition, then that's half the battle won. It paid off. The website development I do is not my main business activity, but it's nice to be able to offer these services should my clients require it. The extra turnover is always welcome too. The same logic also applies in any business activity though. It's essential that you make the right impression the first time, every time.

It was no problem, I have just finished the image now, gonna upload it now

I've just dropped a gonad, and have overwritten the original header when I was messing around Ahh well, won't take long to do another copy.

Thanks for the feedback guys. It's pretty much confirmed what I was beginning to think myself. @ Simpilot, I was fooling around with logo's as the existing one doesn't look to good when doing the aircraft repaints. I will have to try and figure something out. Thanks for the advice too, it's appreciated I'm gonna swap the headers now.

I have been messing around with the header and logo for my VA and would really appreciate it if anyone could offer their opinions on which to go with. Here's the new one: and here's the old one: Any comments will be gratefully received! Thanks, Stu

Thanks I used YouTube Direct for the uploading: http://code.google.com/p/youtube-direct/ It's pretty cool, as we can upload new videos to Britannia Air's playlist, or users can assign existing videos, that have already been uploaded, to the playlist. You can tweak the UI to suit too. There is also an admin panel created, where you can accept/reject videos etc.

I know that, I place styling on the tables whilst working on the pages, and then rewrite the CSS stylesheet once I am happy with the result. I did say that my page was a work in progress. I find it easier to work that way If you check out the top pilots page, you will see that all styling is fromn the stylesheet.

Loving the profile there Simpilot! I am around half way through working on my profile page at the mo: I am concentrating on the front page at the mo, but will be tarting up the profile and adding some new stuff to it soon.

Really looking forward to this. Hope it all goes well for you Cheers, Stu

You need to do some reading up on CSS to be able to apply styles to the tables. Once you get the basics sussed out in your mind, it's pretty easy to use CSS to good effect. The page is made up of tables, and the tables are split into table headers and table bodies. Each component of the table can be styled individually or collectively, by applying a style class. Here's a decent website that works through the basics of CSS, with examples: http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp There are also many other websites that offer CSS tutorials too. It's really worth getting to know CSS, as it allows you to make stylistic changes across your website very easily, with the use of a CSS stylesheet. It also helps to mess around with a stylesheet on a localhosted or live testing site, and make changes here and there to see what effect they have. That's how I got interested in CSS. I'm very far from an expert, but I do like experimenting.

Hi Simpilot, thank you again for your outstanding work. This module is the dogs wotsits! I have just finished styling the page up on my site, and I am well pleased with the end result. The module really is a great addon!! Thanks, Stu See it in action here!

I have just finished styling the new page, and it's working great! Here's a link: http://britair.net/index.php/frontschedules

This is exactly what I wanted SimPilot, I would like to thank you again for your work. It's much appreciated +1 Rep for your effort!

I've sent you a PM, thanks Simpilot!

Before anyone points me to the docs or tells me to search, I have already I have read the all the info on what I want to do over and over, but I am a complete noob when it comes to PHP and just can't do what I am trying to do. I have been trying my best over the last few weeks to alter the schedule search form, to enhance it. I know it's been asked a million times before but I want to be able to add more filter/search options. Some examples of working code would be very much appreciated. A filter function similar to the one found on the admin schedules list page would be great, as would more search functions (by airline code and dep/arr country). I hate admitting defeat, but I have put some time and effort into doing this, and failed miserably. I really hope someone decides to have a look at this, who knows what they are doing, because it would enhance the schedule search page a lot. If anyone can suss it out, I am sure there is more than just me who would really appreciate it Cheers, Stu

I still haven't got this working on my site. How and where would I place the utf8_encode() call please?

I've been trying to get this off the drawing board for a few days now, but I am going to finally admit defeat If anyone could implement my ideas, I would love to see it.

Thanks for that, much appreciated!

I have been googling utf8_encode, and tried various methods I found with no joy A clue would be great EDIT: It seems that some of the RSS feeds from the site have errors in them, and that's what's causing the problem. http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ourairports.com%2Fairports%2Feghi%2Fnotams.rss

Thanks Nabeel and Simpilot, this is just what I have been tryin to do myself (with no luck). So where is it best to put the code? I looked in the schedules.php file but wasn't sure exactly where to place it?

I have just been checking all my flights, and one seems to be throwing up errors: Warning: simplexml_load_file() [function.simplexml-load-file]: http://www.ourairports.com/airports/EGHI/notams.rss:139: parser error : Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding !

All other ICAO codes seem to be working fine.
