Sim Brief for phpvms

[Vangelis]

I know that many of you where waiting for it, i would like to thank Ashley Jones from virtualthomson - TuiVirtual for the motivitation to make it.

You are free to download it at http://baggelis.com/...mbrief-briefing

What it does is adding a button to your briefing template and fetch all the info from the simbrief to your website.

In order to use it you have to contact with simbrief via email at contact@simbrief.com in order to get an API key for free.

Also your pilots need to be registered with simbrief in order to use their services.

As it is free please consider buying me a coffee with the donate button

Any questions will be answered throught the forum

[elfrost]

need links so i can help most propably wrong location of files

Followed your readme file

one question:

var api_dir = 'core/modules/SimBrief/'; //Ex. "some/directory/";

Is it correct? file is there : /public_html/wj-virtual.org/core/modules/SimBrief

Thank you

[Vangelis]

there you should write full url like in your case

http://www.wj-virtual.org/virgintest/core/modules/SimBrief/

[elfrost]

var api_dir = 'http://wj-virtual.org/core/modules/SimBrief/'; //Ex. "some/directory/";

same issue :s

[Vangelis]

add this line in your layout.tpl

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo fileurl('lib/js/simbrief.apiv1.js');?>"></script>

[elfrost]

Great!! Thamk you for your help!

Now, I get new popup Simbrief but get this Fatal Error: Unknown aircraft typedd

[Vangelis]

i saw it the dash aircraft has actualy an icao code of DH8C and not DHC8 you have to make sure that the icao codes of your aiplanes are the same of siembrief you can have a look in the my fleet option of simbrief

[Vangelis]

Download has been updated with new instructions as the old one was half sorry for the trouble

[elfrost]

Ok i'm gonna take a look later

Thank´s again

Appreciated

[Strider]

Still a problem, it says incorrect aircraft.

[Vangelis]

Can you post the code that is in schedule_briefing.tpl ?

[Vangelis]

New Version up

Airplane bug is fixed the reason of the bug was that php exlode wasnt working well

[Strider]

In the schedule_briefing.tpl for the button where it says onclick and to put your full web address put this code:

<?php echo SITE_URL?>/index.php/Simbrief

It means you dont have to go in to make that change, it will already be there.

[Strider]

I had it working great, now when I go to generate a brief, I can only download to pdf, nothing else.

I had it working great, now when I go to generate a brief, I can only download to pdf, nothing else.

to solve the problem you need to edit the core_htmlhead.tpl (in your skin folder)

and put this

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo fileurl('lib/js/simbrief.apiv1.js');?>"></script>

Not in the layout.tpl

[Strider]

It seems to work fine for legs departing wmkk, but returning it doesn't. Also you can put it in the layout.tpl. that is not the problem, as unless stated code is not selective.

[FSX30HD]

I just make the changes I told you in my previous post to have ALL options:
