Please Help… is the a code or a way to separate pilots and staff member ranks.
Ex. Pilots ranks would calculate automatically based on hours and Staff ranks would be manually assigned.
Unfortunately no, the ranks can be either auto or manual. Alternatively, you will have to edit the core of the phpVMS. If you at least have some basic knowledge of coding you can give it a try. Do not forget to keep backup of every file before you edit it!
You will have to bypass your staff members from the auto ranks calculation function of your phpVMS system. This means that first of all, you will have to enable the rank editing option on the admin side for your staff members and stop the auto rank recalculation.
Step 1
Open your admin/templates/pilot_details.php and find the following:
if(Config::Get('RANKS\_AUTOCALCULATE') == false) {
replace it with this:
if(Config::Get('RANKS\_AUTOCALCULATE') == false || $pilotinfo-\>pilotid == X || $pilotinfo-\>pilotid == X) {
Step 2
After that, open your admin/modules/PilotAdmin/PilotAdmin.php and find the following:
if (Config::Get('RANKS\_AUTOCALCULATE') == false) {
replace it with this:
if (Config::Get('RANKS\_AUTOCALCULATE') == false || $this-\>post-\>pilotid == X || $this-\>post-\>pilotid == X) {
Step 3
Then, open your core/common/RanksData.class.php file and find the following:
foreach ($pilots as $pilot) {
below this line, add the following statement:
if($pilot-\>pilotid == X || $pilot-\>pilotid == X) continue;
In both of the pasted snippets, you will have to replace X with the pilot id which is just a number (for example: 1 or 5 or 11), do not confuse it with your pilot code and you can add ad many “|| $pilotinfo->pilotid == X” or “|| $this->post->pilotid == X” or “|| $pilot->pilotid == X” as you want based on the statements above.
Give me an example what would you write if you wanted to bypass four different pilots. In any case, let us know if it worked for you.
