Been there, done that, no change
-
I have just accepted two new pilots and activated them. One pilot does not appear in the "Newest Pilots" block on our airline home page.
I have checked and compared the pilots data for both pilots and all pilots in the Admin Centre, and the data for the pilot in question appears to be formatted same as the other 10 registered pilots data. The pilot in question does appear in the pilots list normally....just not in the Newest Pilots block.

I am away for a week, so dont think I am ignoring this...will check it out sometime next week.
-
Another possibility...create a fake airplane...call it whatever you want (we called ous "Any"
edit your schedules so that the fake aircraft is the default aircraft
now pilots can select whatever aircraft they want to fly from the drop-down list.
-
Yes
assign that flight to the A318.

I have a pilot who is having a strange problem with his kACARS - it will not show all of our VAs fleet in the drop-down list. He sees only 4or 5 of the 32 available aircraft. All other pilots are NOT experiencing this, which tells me that something is wrong with his install or its setup.
is there anyone that might be able to shed some light as to what might be taking place?
thanks
-
Cannot paste the code here...zipped up the PilotData.Class.php file and attached.
Hope that is the correct file

CPV
For phpVms to work correctly, it has to be installed correctly. It's successful operation depends upon various factors such as - is your system being installed on free hosting or on paid hosting. Is the php server version you are trying to install your management system on version 5.0 to 5.5.
it should be as simple as downloading phpvms, expanding it into a temporary directory then using an ftp client to upload it to the server. Watch for a public_html folder on the server...it has to be installed there, then the installer run.
after that, if you have errors, you should post them - that way, you stand a very good chance of receiving help.
good luck

How would I align the columns on our pilot roster? We have six hubs (3 shown on image) and the columns for pilots in each hub are mis-aligned.

We at Flight Simulation New Brunswick and its Virtual Airline wish to convey our thanks to the phpvms forum and its members who have helped us. Over the past few days, I have posted pleas for help at the forum and without fail, all pleas were replied to and our system's issues resolved. We are very proud of our airline and to have issues within its VMS management that were not working as they were supposed to was unacceptable - especially to me as its CEO.
Once again, thank you to the Forum and its membership

Creating a cache folder did the trick!
-
From Admin when I go to Maintenence and click the clear Cache option, I get this ...
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'UnexpectedValueException' with message 'RecursiveDirectoryIterator::__construct(/home/fsnb4809/public_html/Airline/core/cache): failed to open dir: No such file or directory' in /home/fsnb4809/public_html/Airline/admin/modules/Maintenance/Maintenance.php:236 Stack trace: #0 /home/fsnb4809/public_html/Airline/admin/modules/Maintenance/Maintenance.php(236): RecursiveDirectoryIterator->__construct('/home/fsnb4809/...') #1 [internal function]: Maintenance->clearcache() #2 /home/fsnb4809/public_html/Airline/core/classes/MainController.class.php(218): call_user_func_array(Array, Array) #3 /home/fsnb4809/public_html/Airline/admin/index.php(83): MainController::RunAllActions() #4 {main} thrown in /home/fsnb4809/public_html/Airline/admin/modules/Maintenance/Maintenance.php on line 236
When I look for the core/cache folder on the server, it isnt there...only a cache 1 folder.
would it be as simple as creating a cache folder or maybe renaming cache1
sure hope that I can lay off these questions soon - Infeel like I may be becoming a bit of a nuicance...hope not
i have only one more question which I will tackle later
-
Servetas - Your suggestion/remedy was spot on, my friend
thank you very much.

Hello fourier1991
yes, there is a way to do that. We simply created a ficticuous airplane called "Any" and used that as the default aircraft. You can name it whatever you want.
I have not experimented with the checkbox at the end of the form (think it might be Active) to see if that would make it invisible or greyed out in the fleet list. If you do test that, ir would be nice to know.
now in kACARS, the pilot inputs the flight number, then hits the Get Flight Info block. Then he has the ability to select then load his favorite aircraft from the select aircraft drop down.
works great for us here at www.fsnb.ca/Airline
hope this helps, and GL with your VA!

This text appears at top of registration page after pressing the "Register" button on registration page. Indont think that people should be seeing my reCaptcha keys.
The completed registration form goes into que for processing just fine
can it be fixed?
-
Thanks for the fix Servetas. Much appreciated. Now I need to fix my news page. new thread started for that
-
Logged on to my site as admin and go to the news > Add news link
Receive this message and I cannot enter text in the editor.
The link seems to be http://www.fsnb.ca/Airline/admin/index.php/sitecms/addnews
but I do not have a sitecms directory and the only thing under addnews is an image file which is in the lib.
Any help appreciated
Can’t reach this page- Make sure the web address //ieframe.dll/dnserrordiagoff.htm# is correct
- Search for this site on Bing
- Refresh the page
must have been a cache problem on my PC . News works fine on my iPad
sorry for the false alarm.

A couple of days ago, Inwas going through the various pages of our site and discovered that there is an issue on our Registration page - a reCaptcha error advising "Invalid domain for site key"
This of course means that no one can apply to be a pilot. Worse than that, I don't know how to fix it other than I need to get new keys (from google I think) and paste two keys - public and secret- somewhere.
I am not very proficient in playing with these files, so I need a good explanation...anyone up for that?
thanks

Advice from one that was bitten by removing an aircraft: we were very fortunate to get our site back.
1. Backup your database
2. Determine if the aircraft is bound to anything - such as any of your schedules
3. There is no phpvms provision (that I can find) to remove an aircraft - you must do that at the database level
4. Check your ENTIRE va operation for errors. If the error source cannot be found, reload from your backup.
-
This issue was caused by removal of a fictituous aircraft "Any" that was attached to each and every one of our schedules. To fix, the aircraft was reestablished and the Schedules csv file re-imported. VOILA! All back to normal
fair warning - be very careful of what you are removing!
DATABASE BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP

Ok, thanks for that, and thanks for taking a look at our system. That is very much appreciated and somewhat comforting to think that we may be able to haul this one out of the fire.
Hell - theres only 900 or so schedules and I am 75 years old. Lesee now...yes, I should be able to fly again when I am 104.
Just one more quick question:
my scheduler has the csv file for the schedules. Could we recreate an " Any" aircraft and then simply import the schedules csv file again? With my luck, likely not that simple.
whoops...sorry...your reply came in while I was tappy tappy typing...
thanks

Please remember that kACARS Free did not change. Your schedules did. If you assign an aircraft back to all the schedules it will be back to the way it was. I am going to assume that your had the ANY Aircraft assigned to all schedules. When you deleted it this caused a major issue.
kACARS does NOT do any financial information. That is up to phpVMS.

Ok, I can't dispute that, I simply do not know, but I am curious as to why this beast has raised its ugly head at this time. We did not assign an aircraft to our schedules so that a pilot would not be tied to a particular aircraft to fly any one of the routes. The pilot selected the aircraft from the dropdown in kACARS. System was working fine that way till last night.
questions now are:
If we assign an aircraft to a schedule now, how and will this affect our present operation.
if a pilot wants to fly a schedule with his favorite aircraft how will he do it - with a charter flight? With a manual flight? Maybe he will be able to use the dropdown to overwrite the default aircraft for that schedule?
Will he be able to use the existing flight number for his charter flight? By the way, there is no revenue generated for a charter flight.
Fuel Calculations
in Support Forum
Posted · Edited by hecrowell
Part of every pilot's obligation is to ensure that he has ample fuel on board to complete his flight with reserve fuel to take care of unexpected in flight events. At the same time, he does not want to "overfill" which along with adverse effects caused by excess weight on approaches and landings at the destination airport also eats into company finances.
Our flight sims are set to the Imperial system which means that our fuel load readings are in Pounds (Lbs). It looks like phpvms uses the metric system, and even though I have changed it to Imperial, fuel weights are still metric when using kACARS free and therefore also metric as calculated on kACARS produced PIREPS.
i am wondering how to clarify this situation and remove some of the confusion of properly fueling your aircraft for a flight.
thanks
