For those looking for an update on this project, it has been very much abandoned for several months now. I have been busy with work, plus I have not been involved in the VA scene for about a year now. phpVMS development came to a standstill as well.
If there is enough demand for this then I might consider completing it.
I am considering developing a new module. The module would be used for admin staff only, and would not be accessible by pilots.
The concept is a schedule builder. Many VAs will assign any odd time and aircraft to their flights without a thought, however this module is intended for those who wish to build their schedules in a realistic way.
The module would allow the user to add flights onto a timeline by aircraft, so that flights would be organised in an illustrative manner. Each flight will be represented by a block, which shows only basic information such as departure/arrival airports and departure/arrival times, but the block will hold all relevant schedule data such as flight number, route, price, etc, Once the user is happy, they can then export the data to a .csv file which can then be imported to the phpVMS schedules.
This will be a fairly complex development, so, if it were to go ahead then I would have to consider whether or not this will be a free product or whether it will come with a fee. If a fee were to be used, it will likely cost no more than £20 (around $30 or 25€).
A month on and barely any progress I’m afraid, too much happening this month. Less hectic times are coming though, I’ll do my best. Provided everything goes well, I might have it done by late July/early August.
Quick update folks, development is in full swing and is coming along slowly but surely. Late July/early August may still be possible if I push on, however it’s a relatively complex concept one down to the nitty gritty.
