Administrators Nabeel Posted December 11, 2008 Administrators Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 You cannot change pilot IDs. You cannot change an individual pilot's ID. Do not change pilot IDs. Or else you will loose data, and chaos will ensue. You can change what the start number is though: http://www.phpvms.net/docs/users#changing_the_pilots_id_starting_number Note, this is only a superficial change of the pilot number, otherwise they start from 1, due to database constrictions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Nabeel Posted June 5, 2009 Author Administrators Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Potentially yes, especially if you change it after any pireps/groups have been assigned. I recommend not touching the ID there at all! Use the above instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the above instead Hi I am migrating data across from our old system. I have got the pilots to register to save us time, however we need to keep pilots ID numbers the same. I have a few pilots who have Alpha Numeric IDs for example EI0021P-EI039W. The system will not let me place the "P" or "W" in is there a way this can be done please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sascha (DCS299) Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 How can I change the IDs, so that I have only 3 characters (e.g. not 1000 but 100)? Is the offset important? How do I change it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mark1million Posted February 28, 2011 Moderators Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 That setting is in your local.config.php in your core folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyalaska Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Change the "4" to a 3 Config::Set('PILOTID_LENGTH', 4); // The length of PID, including 0's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
