Short story; I'm modifying pilot edit page and including things I want. I'm not using custom fields module (just don't want to.) I've created the columns in the pilot table and have my form completed. However, I cannot for life of me figure out where everything is calling from. I looked at PilotData.class.php and I see the UpdateProfile function but it doesn't necessary tell me what specific fields it is looking for. Array is commented out (assuming code change.) Has anyone (outside of using custom fields) actually been able to get custom form and have it truly populate db? I'm little good at this, not an expert, but enough I can navigate to extent and do things. public static function updateProfile($pilotid, $params) { /*$params = array( 'pilotid' => '', 'code' => '', 'email' => '', 'location' => '', 'hub' => '', 'bgimage' => '', 'retired' => false, 'ivao' => '', 'vatsim' => '', ); */ if(empty($pilotid)) { return false; } if (!is_array($params)) { return false; } /* Cleanup any specific parameters */ if (isset($params['location'])) { $params['location'] = strtoupper($params['location']); } if (isset($params['pilotid'])) { unset($params['pilotid']); } $sql = "UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "pilots SET "; $sql .= DB::build_update($params); $sql .= " WHERE `pilotid`={$pilotid}"; $res = DB::query($sql); if (DB::errno() != 0) { return false; } # Auto groups? $groups = Config::get('PILOT_STATUS_TYPES'); if(isset($params['retired'])) { $info = $groups[$params['retired']]; # Automatically add into these groups if(is_array($info['group_add']) && count($info['group_add']) > 0) { foreach($info['group_add'] as $group) { PilotGroups::addUsertoGroup($pilotid, $group); } } if(is_array($info['group_remove']) && count($info['group_remove']) > 0) { foreach($info['group_remove'] as $group) { PilotGroups::removeUserFromGroup($pilotid, $group); } } } return true; }

Fantastic information @Heritage1 and @magicflyer! Thank you so much. I need to purchase my schedules from VA Schedule; judging by what you both wrote it looks like I would essentially need to just create a schedule of flights for each of the 17 aircraft types we have and that should suffice-making sure that my route ID's are never same for any of them. If only there was a way to pick a flight then choose aircraft type. I don't think iCrew Premium does that.

I'm new to phpVMS and have been working with the guys at iCrew -- I have a lite platform setup to mess around with for now. However, I wanted to get some input from community; I've went through some posts on here and felt you all might have some ideas. I'm setting up a VA for my buddies and I; it's very small/low-key. It's not mimic any real world airline so my plan was to simply buy a couple VA schedules from two American based airliners and mash them together. My question is how are aircraft a factor in schedules in phpVMS? Can 3 people "theoretically" fly the same aircraft at same time on different flights? My idea was that the schedules I purchased were really for the "departure and arrival" piece of it and not the aircraft. My thought would be the aircraft could be 1 of 17 types we have and it can do the actual route (don't fly route that exceeds the aircraft range.) I wasn't thinking I wanted to make 10 different registrations, but if I needed to then I could. I assume if I did that the planes are "virtual" meaning they could be anywhere and flown anyone, only the pilot is persistent in iCrew. My first thought was to take the schedules I purchased and consolidate them down to unique departure and arrival.Then take the whole list and duplicate it 17 times--one for each aircraft type we have. Dump that into the database; that would essentially give us X number of flight schedules for each aircraft type one would fly. In thinking this through and looking at it on the iCrew lite platform that tells me I would have 1 aircraft registartion for each aircraft type--I assume pilots can fly the same B738 N718WA at same time? I don't think the aircraft is the factor in the actual flight as much as it is schedule. I noticed that I can book flight then when I look at schedules from another demo user the flight I booked on previous account is gone. Once released it's available. So that tells me I may need to even duplicate 17 flight schedules per type more so there are 1-4 flights for each A to B route? Or would that not be good idea. I guess Delta doesn't run 3 flights from KATL to KJAX at same time; so why would I do it. Appreciate the input/thoughts -- apologize in advance if I didn't search enough.
