[mark1million]

Nabeel, now my VA is using kACARS and the data is reliable i was wondering is there any way i could automatically accept pireps from that acars only?

Yes, you'd have to add the option to the PIREP array of 'accepted' => PIREP_ACCEPTED.

Perhaps Jeff can point you in the right direction on where to place that, I don't have it installed

Nabeel, i have tried adding this after communicating with jeff and it does not work, is that the correct format?

'accepted' => PIREP_ACCEPTED

In to the array i have tried,

'accepted' => 'PIREP_ACCEPTED',

and

'accepted' => PIREP_ACCEPTED,

Nabeel,

Is the PIREP_ACCEPTED supposed to go into PirepData or come out of it?

[Guest lorathon]

Nevermind. I believe I found it.

PIREPData.class.php

Around line 770

VALUES ( {$pirepdata['pilotid']}, 
						'{$pirepdata['code']}', 
						'{$pirepdata['flightnum']}', 
						'{$pirepdata['depicao']}', 
						'{$pirepdata['arricao']}', 
						'{$pirepdata['route']}',
						'{$pirepdata['route_details']}',
						'{$pirepdata['distance']}',
						'{$pirepdata['aircraft']}', 
						'{$pirepdata['flighttime']}', 
						'{$flighttime_stamp}',
						'{$pirepdata['landingrate']}',
						NOW(), 
						".PIREP_PENDING.", 
						'{$pirepdata['log']}',
						'{$pirepdata['load']}',
						'{$pirepdata['fuelused']}',
						'0',
						'{$pirepdata['source']}',
						{$pirepdata['exported']},
						'{$pirepdata['rawdata']}')";

I am assuming Mark should replace the PIREP_PENDING with PIREP_ACCEPTED

[mark1million]

That would make sense lol

But wouldn't that accept all pireps?

[Nabeel]

Instead of editing that then, just call:

PIREPData::ChangePIREPStatus($pirepid, PIREP_ACCEPTED)

I guess you get the $pirepid after you submit it

Not sure where to post this,

Nabeel and Jeff, i have an updated script from Jeff which now accepts pireps from kACARS but it isnt updating the pilots hours, its adding the pirep as accepted OK just not adding to the pilots hours totals.

I have manually run the reset hours from the admin menu which has updated everyone correctly.

Jeff, I will post on your forum also.

I will change it to re-calculate when changing the status. You'd place that code probably in the kACARS module is the best idea.

Thanks Nabeel

Mark,

I will give it a little looksie when I get home.

Thanks Jeff,

I wasnt sure where to post if it was a phpVMS or kACARS resolution but if like Nabeel said its just a case of placing the current update script in the file then it should be an easy fix.

Hopefully...
