  2. Web Design, Module Creation and More!

    in Paid Services

    Posted

    Afternoon all,

    I've decided to start providing paid services again, and what better way to start it than with a 10% discount on all orders if you're a phpVMS user?

    I'm providing web design and module creation at affordable prices with professional quality that'll get your virtual airline noticed for the right reasons!

    Currently trying to source out all of the sites that I did do work for previously to construct a portfolio, I'll also have a few free modules up on the forums soon, so you see the work I do.

    If you're interested, please visit jpderrick.co.uk and contact me for a free quote.

    Cheers

    Jon

  3. Emirates VA Open

    in Virtual Airlines Discussion

    Posted

    Jordan left you a great looking VA..make good use of it!! best wishes!!

    I wouldn't agree with that, and I'd hope that the new owner didn't pay more than what it's worth because it needs a lot of work to make it a great looking virtual airline. Might have a basic structure of pilots, but the site design and tiny little things like being able to register without accepting the terms need to be sorted to make it a successful virtual airline.

    The site design that you've got has been around and used by so many as a concept for ages, if you want to get noticed, I'd suggest you have a look at a more modern and unique design.

    Might be harsh, but if I don't give constructive feedback then it would be a waste of Zishan's investment into what could turn out to be a good and successful virtual airline.

  4. Creating a new virtual airline from scratch, thinking air france but open to ideas!

    in Virtual Airlines Discussion

    Posted

    Air France are a real bugger when it comes to permissions, they changed their mind when I was about a year into the previous va I had running. I wouldn't suggest bothering, after all that work getting the virtual airline up with a solid pilot base, it just gets wasted.

    Another lesson after running the va I also learnt was that you have to know the language that is spoken by the airline's country. I was lucky someone fluent in french was on my staff team!

  5. Main Content Box

    in Skinning

    Posted

    It's pretty simple to grasp once you know how, here's how I would do it:

    <!--The Invisible Div -->
<div class="wrapper">
<!-- Set out the layout for the frontpage -->
<div class="right">
<!-- This checks if we are on the frontpage -->
<?php
if(MainController::$activeModule == 'FRONTPAGE')
echo $page_content;
else
{
?>
</div>
<!-- Echo the content into the full page -->
<div class="full">
<?php echo $page_content; ?>
</div>
<?php
}
?>
</div>

</div>

    That's not tested but it should lead you in the right direction for what you want. You can then just call the left hand side div for your homepage in frontpage_main.tpl

    funny how this is on the bottom of the html of all your templates - guess it is ok for all of them to have copyrights all over them,

    Design by <a href="http://www.tomsterritt.com/phpvms" target="_blank">Tom Sterritt</a></div><!-- Linkback required by license -->

    I think the Link back Required by License It referencing to the phpVMS link back.

    And come on, sort it out, you don't own the idea of that news system, look how many non-phpVMS websites use a similar function in commmercial business! Don't cry over spilt milk and just get on with life! I don't see you complaining to those companies they have your idea of a news system?

    All I'm going to say on the matter

  20. Thoughts about our site

    in Off-Topic Banter

    Posted

    Hi Josh,

    1. the header is a different colour to the page background.
    2. how about re-adding the shaddow to the site outline? It made the site really stand out.
    3. might just be my opinion, but add some left padding on the homepage boxes
    4. support centre links to an open directory
    5. replace the forum title with the logo
    6. welcome message needs changing regarding custom system
    7. is there a need for the email confirmation script message?
    8. some of the content still relates to virgin atlantic va
    9. your partners with your own virtual airline and the image seems squashed

    Hope that isn't too critical

    MAKE SURE you go into the layout.tpl and frontpage_main.tpl to change the urls from mydomain.com to your va's domain.

    You can just change it to something like <?php echo SITE_URL?> so that nobody has to change the domain
