Pilot ID (reduce digits from 4 to 3

[vincent]

Hi

I know this topic may have been already discussed. However, I am still having trouble reducing the pilot ID's from 4 0's to 3.... I've used phpVMS before and had successfully done this in the past. I've followed the instructions on the other post about this, but it still has 4 zeros.. I have the latest version installed. Please help....

In the local.config.php file there's a parameter for the pilot ID length

thanks, Nabeel.... Next questions.. I see that there is not a way to put the Google API key through the admin center.... is there any work around through this? also is it possible to change the login method, to where instead of entering the email address as the username, the pilot id would be the username?

thanks

You do not need a map key in ver 2.1

The login module is already set to accept a pilot id as a login - ex - ABC1234

Looks like an older template maybe with 2.1 phpVMS....

What version phpVMS are you running? Looks like a modified Clowdy skin, which was designed for 1.0. You will have to update some of the tpl files in the skin if this is the case.

can you provide help with how to update the tpl files? where do i get them?

The current .tpl files are in Core/Templates

You will need to replace some of the skin files in your Skins folder in order to get it working correctly. Any modifications will have to be reapplied on the new template files.

how do i know which files i need to replace?

[Nabeel]

Any templates which don't work. It's probably safe to say in your case, all of them

also is there an easy way to put all airports at once rather than manually putting them in?

You can just replace the whole file. Open up the skins folder in one window and the Core/Templates folder in another. You then can replace the files in the skins folder with the newest version in Core/templates.

If you import a schedules csv file it should automatically import those airports

thanks everyone for the help... i have successfuly updated the .tpl files. however the map position is out of place... can anyone tell me how to reposition the map?

also is it possible to change the login method, to where instead of entering the email address as the username, the pilot id would be the username?

That would be a CSS issue

You can already do that, just enter in either it'll figure it out

Sorry to reopen this topic. But can Someone tell me how do i set my Pilot I.D. number back to it was.

here's what I'm asking to be more clearer

a pilot signs up for my VA as SBM230

and another as SBM231 but the pilot who is SBM231 wants his I.D. to be SBM5043. (i went ahead and change it)

Now every other pilot that signs up is going to be after SBM5043 (e.g. a new pilot signs up and its SBM5044)

How do i reset it so it follows from SBM230

if that makes sence. Thanks guys i would really appreciate your help.

It auto increments from the last pilotid in the _pilots table. It's a thing with phpVMS that it doesn't have a separate id and pilotid column. I always wanted to separate those two, but never got the time.
