After a lot of months of development, PHP-Mods Team is ready to provide you a preview of our next module. We had published some screenshots in the past but never something that extended. Many of you had requested the development of several forum bridges with phpVMS but we decided that it would be more useful to develop a forum module from the scratch. Of course, the forum does not provide you what a forum platform (such as SMF, phpBB etc) provides to you but this is why we are here. Anything can be implemented as soon as it is considered useful.
The Forum Module includes the following functions and many others:
Extended User Settings Panel (Date Format, Time Offset, Signature, Email Notifications)
Categorized Forum Boards
Topics with or without Polls
Multi Permission Levels (User, Staff, Moderator, Admin and Banned)
Multimedia Post Editor (using the powerful cKeditor)
Simple build-in search function.
Your pilot’s will not have to log in/register to a second platform in order to post their questions or discuss with the rest of your pilots. We have decided to offer a demo system to help you understand the way it works.
The module is going to be released in the next few days as it is currently under testing from our beta testing virtual airlines. Also, an SMF migration tool is under development and we discuss to extend it to other platforms as per the user’s requests. Feel free to let us know your feedback. Any suggestions are accepted. Bare in mind that due to its extended development, this module is going to be released as payware.
Will this be available on both versions of PHPVMS?
The modules has been checked and working with PHP 5.5 and phpVMS 5.5 but I do not think that there would be any issues running it to older versions. I will check it.
Awesome - thanks for checking. I’m currently running the old version of PHPVMS but and also building out my VA using the 5.5 version. I’m definitely using this module when you release it!
7 days later and nothing? No nice job, thanks, it works or nothing? I am quite shocked. Was looking for feedback info. By the looks of things, it looks great! $56 US Dollars is way to much for me though.

Did you buy this and if so does it work really well? I cant afford it but I work with another va that is interested. I hate to recommend it blindly.

Yes, I bought this. I found some bugs and worked with Servetas to get them fixed. I also suggested a few changes to the permission system of the forum that will make this even more awesome. Hopefully those are doable. But either way this is a great system and has most of the features I need. The best part for me is no more two systems to maintain.
Taking a look at this as a developer myself, and knowing how much work must have been put in, I think the listed price is a fair one. Great job!
Yes sir you are correct. I once built a forum system from scratch just to do it for a stupid website I was working on and it was a LOAD of work. The price is fair to say the least. Just wish I could afford it, It is out of my reach at this time.
v1.0.2 has been released today. I have made several changes to the core files in order to solve some specific bugs reported by the users.
Also, a script to transfer the data (categories, boards, posts, polls etc) from your SMF forum has been developed and it is available after your request for free. Other transfer scripts can be developed as per your requests.
Hi im interested in buying this i think it will integrate into the va better than 3rd party forums not to mention the account management is controlled by phpvms systems under one umbrella.
I would also need the script to transfer from SMF.
The SMF migration script is not available on the Forum System package because it needs some extra editing for each VA. For that reason, it is sent to those who request it via support ticket free of charge.
Just an extra note on it, in case there is anyone who uses this module and another forum platform (than SMF which has a migration script available) and wants to migrate, you can request the development of the migration script which will be developed free of charge based on the current workload.
I have had a quick test and what i have noticed is your forum uses html and not bb code, will your script convert bb code, also lots use tapatalk, are there any plans to integrate with that platform?
