New: airport lookup server with extended data

[OzFlyer]

Fix the last post problem with "Add Airport" its now back to being in a popup window but still will not fetch any data.

[ATACEO]

Hello all,

 

I am new to this and am having an issue with the add new Airport and am trying to follow this thread.  However in first post it says "1) Go to your local.config.php / app.config.php to change your phpvms_api_server"  I have changed the app.config.php but I do not see anything related to phpvms_api_server in the local.config.php.  That line is it supposed to be added to the local.config.php and if so where should it be added?

 

Ok UPDATE:

 

I have added the code to local.config.php and as OzFlyer said it is still not fetching any data when adding New Airport and ICAO code.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you for your time and understanding

The local.config.php doesn't need to be changed too much, but rather a few other files.

Have you followed the tutorial here? https://www.virtualairlines.eu/index.php/Blog

Yeah mine doesn't fetch anything either.  I acts like it but then I get the error message posted above.  Does your pop-up box go away after you click on the "Look Up" button?

[Michael2015]

think when you change these nothing works i would maybe make a back up

function lookupICAO() {
    var icao = $("#airporticao").val();

    if (icao.length != 4) {
        $("#statusbox").html("Please enter the full 4 letter ICAO");
        return false;
    }

    $("#statusbox").html("Fetching airport data...");
    $("#lookupicao").hide();

    var url = "https://virtualairlines.eu/airports.php?icao=" + icao + "&callback=?";
    console.log("URL: " + url);

    $.ajax({
        url: url,
        dataType: "jsonp", // Specifies that the request is for JSONP
        success: function(data) {
            console.log("Data received: ", data);

            if (!data.airports || data.airports.length === 0) {
                $("#statusbox").html("Nothing found. Try entering the full 4 letter ICAO");
                $("#lookupicao").show();
                return;
            }

            $.each(data.airports, function(i, item) {
                console.log("Processing item: ", item);
                $("#airporticao").val(icao);
                $("#airportname").val(item.name);
                $("#airportcountry").val(item.countryName);
                $("#airportlat").val(item.lat);
                $("#airportlong").val(item.lng);
                $("#fuelprice").val(item.jeta);

                $("#statusbox").html("");
                $("#lookupicao").show();
            });
        },
        error: function(jqxhr, textStatus, error) {
            var err = textStatus + ", " + error;
            console.error("Request Failed: " + err);
            $("#statusbox").html("Error fetching data. Please try again.");
            $("#lookupicao").show();
        }
    });

    return false;
}

 

Change your function to this, it's been tested and working on both Chrome and Firefox

While you replied to a 3 year old post to a 2 year old prior post, a better solution is:

At least this will work as long as the phpVMS airport lookup API is up. This phpVMS airport lookup API is the same one in use for phpVMS v7 - and has been adapted to work with phpVMS v5. 

[Parkho]

Well you're right the post is 3 years old and I came across it today. I think it's best if we close the unsolved old posts so people like me wouldn't dare to reply to them so late. Thanks for the update anyways.

[ProAvia]

Not sure if it's practical or worth the time to go thru all the v2/v5 posts to lock unsolved ones. 

New users should be using phpVMS v7 - and old users have usually solved their issues even if they don't post their resolution.

Based on increasing issues that v2/v5 users are experiencing (mostly do to shared hosting updates), it's probably time to move on to v7.

 

In any case, as long as phpVMS v7 airport lookup is working, the above update to the v5 files (via updated VACentral API update) should allow the airport lookup to work.

Not so much using the "virtualairlines.eu" website airport lookup as the website is sometimes unreachable and the OP author hasn't been on this forum in over 4 years.

[Parkho]

Yeah, I am maintaining a few airlines and they're not willing to move on to v7. Besides there are not many developers for v7 and admins can't do simple tasks on their own as V7 is pretty complex for them.
