I have 2 VA’s that i want to install this on, they run on the same server, will this cost double or will the purchase cover them both?

I don’t often sing praises of developers but I just had to post this out about my experience from php-mods.
If you are looking for the biggest integration for your Virtual Airline I can not stress the importance of a forum, now this has been a long time coming but its well worth it, the forum from php-mods is excellent.
I used SMF for years with the registration script from phpVMS, while that’s fine you then have to manually manage members if they become inactive or leave or even join up and never fly, which to us was a big pain in the rear.
Now I have this forum from php-mods in place and all the data transferred over from my old forums I’m a very happy man.
I no longer have to manage members access to the forums, the PHPVms system does it for me. If a pilot is deleted or inactive its simple he cant access the forums, there is a setting which you can change to allow access to anyone as well if that’s what you want also.
Now the reason for me posting this recommendation is the support I received, One of my VA’s I had no problem what so ever but the other one I’m using a slightly different way of calling the templates and that was causing problems, I raised a ticket over at php-mods site and between a live session of TeamViewer and Skype Servetas George was able to connect to my pc and debug what was going on live on the server, I’m thank-full for the support and dedication of php-mods and from my experience I’m more than happy singing their praises, they couldn’t have done any better in the support department.
So if you are looking for full integration of your forum system in to the phpVMS api then i would highly recommend this add-on 100%.

It’s nice to see reviews like this without even requesting them before. Thank you very much Mark! Regarding the support, I am always trying to do my best both for payware and freeware products as part of this community.
I can also say only the best and kindest words about George. While I don’t use this module, I contacted George a while ago with about a matter not related to coding, and he was more than helpful and kind.

I would like to inform you that I have released version 1.1 of the module. The new version includes several corrections and new additions. Below you can see a list of them:
Changes
-
Added max-width in img’s inside the post. In the previous versions, there were design issues when someone posted an image with an extended width.
-
Changed the way boards are marked as read. Now, the user should have read all the topics inside the board to have the board marked as read. In the previous version, a board was marked as read as soon as someone visited it.
-
Changed the way search results are shown. The search takes into consideration only words with at least three characters and the post which are not accessible to someone are not included in the results (hidden board, staff board, limited board etc).
-
According to the above, we have updated the latest posts functions too.
-
Users are not able to reply to a topic whose board is read only.
-
Solved some issues with the notification emails.
-
When there is any error during a board insert or update, the add or edit form is populated with the submitted details.
Additions
-
Added a rating system. There are two options in the settings of the forum. Like only which allows the rest of the forum users to like a post and karma. Karma allows the forum users to like or dislike a forum post.
-
Added an extra setting to the forum boards which allows you to select whether the user signatures will be shown in their posts or not.
-
Added an extra setting to the forum boards access drop down menu. Now, you are able to select “Selected Pilot Groups” and select specifically the pilot groups you want to have access to this specific board. The forum administrators and the moderators have access to these boards even if they are not part of any of the selected pilot group.
-
Mark a topic as unread button has been added to each topic.
-
View unread topics has been added in the frontpage of the forum system.
As always you can check the demo system and review all of the additions in the new version. http://php-mods.eu/phpvms.php?module=forum-system

I now have this on our site and I am severely impressed with it. Nice to not have a separate forum. I can only echo, almost verbatim, what mark1million said above. George was extremely helpful in getting me setup.
At first, I had been concerned about the price of the module. Now I have NO issues with the price whatsoever. Big thumbs up from me! Thanks again George!

I have saw it in action and it is very nice to say the least. It is just way to bad that phpVMS does not come with a forum already added. I understand why but … just saying
But yes, it is a very nice addon. Nicely done!

Good morning! How do I get support for PHP Mods products? I bought a product and my key came invalid. I already sent the ticket a few days ago and I can’t get a response.

hasn’t visited the forum here in over a year. Maybe tagging him here will solicit a visit and response.
