I have recently re-vamped the default Modules with some neat Embedded links, pop-up windows that are “Live” and full of cool Features for everyone. it took a little while, but if using this, PAY ATTENTION to it !! I have included a live Metar…Live Map section that is embedded if paying attention to each Arr/Dep… you will see brackets that will throw you into an instant PDF downloadable file.
There are a TON of embedded features in this Pilot Brief section, below is the code, the file name is ;
schedule_briefing.php
Backup your original by just re-naming it, pretty simple.
there is also a IFR link directly to flightaware for the Live route. All I can say is this, move your mouse around this page very slowly and as you move, your mouse will do the rest. I have created a direct Nav Bar menu link in the navigation menu, here is what the link should look like; <a href=“<?php echo url(‘/schedules’) ?>”>Flight Search</a>
Hope this helps everyone with the boring old default Pilot Brief !!
