EXAMCenter Beta 1.0

[dimitris]

Is possible to make the exam center require hours instead of pay ?

[Jeff]

The Exam Center deducts the money for the test. Not sure why you want to deduct hours.

not to reduce hours.

for example Expl Test 1 hour 100. If the pilot have less than 100 hours he can't proceed to exam. if pilot got 100 hours ++ he can continue. not to reduce

[Jeff]

Sounds like you need to figure a way to have it automatically acknowledge it like auto ranking does.

You will have to change the coding a number of places but you could base all the if commands off of an hours configuration. Most of your work will be in the controller, look around for where it is calling for money and change it all to hours. There is a built in sql call in the pilots data class to get pilot hours to compare to your needs.

exams_admin is not in the site admin panel, it stands alone, you have to link to it.

I know and I had added it! But when I push on the link it goes to the Startpage!

Are you using ->

<?php 
$admin = ExamsData::check_admin(Auth::$userinfo->pilotid); 
               if ($admin->admin_level >= '1') 
               {echo '<a href="'.url('/Exams_admin').'">EXAMCenter Admin</a>';} 
?>

as is in the setup instructions?

Are you set as an admin for the exam center? By default only the pilot with the database id of 1 is an admin until more are assigned. If you are not #1 in the database it will send you back to the home page.

Also, what version are you running, are you on 2.x or still on 1.0?

Not sure, are the folders all in the right place? It is odd that it goes back to the homepage. Did you change any of the code that determines the permission set for the modules?

[Airport]

Hello,

all folders are at the right place and I didnt change the code

If it works and then doesnt and the does again, my guess would be it is the server causing issues, what configuration are you on? (free, shared, vps, dedicated)

[Airport]

Hello,

no, its a payhoster, and it is working perfektly!

Errr, ok. I thought you were having problems with it. Glad to hear you got things working.

[coryb12]

OK, this is an excellent addon, but I have a really stupid question. How do you add a pilot so that they are an event admin?

[simpilot]

Do you mean an Exam Admin? For that you would use the "add/remove administrators" link from the main exam center management panel, then just click on the pilot you want to change and set them to staff or admin.

From the looks of the url you have dropped some part of the code off, probably part of the php opening tag, it should not be echoing out "url" and all the % signs are open spaces in your url. Take a good look at that.

Is it possible to just have 3 answers insteed of 4? and if thats possible how can i set it up?

And is there a easy way to delete the default exams :-)

You can delete the exams from the adminpanel. When you delete an exam it will orphan the questions assigned to it and they will show up in the list as unassigned, but you can delete the individual questions as well.

To change to only 3 answers you would have to modify every tpl file that has anything to do with questions and answers, modify both the exams and exams_admin controllers, and also the examsData.class.php file. Look around through all those and change everything from sets of 4 to sets of 3.

Dave, i have had the exams running succesfully for several months now, however it appears that pilots who have insufficient funds to pay for the exams are still able to make the request for an exam they cannot afford?

looking at exam_purchase_confirm.tpl shows this.

Is this a bug, or have i missed checking something? If possible could i have a snippet to display "you have insufficient funds to purchase this exam"
