Restirct Aircraft Available By Rank

[coryb12]

Hello, I am trying to restrict the aircraft that can be flown by a pilot by their ranks. I have selected the rank they have to be in the fleet list area of the admin panel. I have also added the line of code to the local.config.php to restrict it and set it to true and it still doesn't restrict pilots to fly certain aircraft. I am using Front Schedules put out by lorathon, and I tried adding the restriction code that is in the schedules_result.tpl, but that didn't work. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Try the stock schedules viewer and see if that works with the rank restrictions, that would be a start to narrowing down the problem

OK the stock route system doesn't display routes outside of your rank. I tried messing with the FrontSchedules php to see what I could do with no luck....maybe simpilot knows how to do this since he made the script

Even though I was given undue credit in the first post I wanted to comment on this.

We also restrict by aircraft. But instead of denying the pilot the ability to see the schedule I just deny them the ability to bid on the schedule.

If the aircraft is above there rank I replace the "Add to Bid" with "Above your Rank". I personally think that it looks better. Then the lower ranked pilots can still see the whole schedule.

That's a good idea

Yes, I was hoping to do this aswell....I'm just clueless when it comes to php...can anybody help me with this?

This is what I use in my customized search results page

at the top. This gets the pilot information of the searching pilot

<?php
$pilotid = Auth::PilotID();
$user = PilotData::getPilotData($pilotid);
?>

In the loop to display the schedule at the bottom is the code to add bid. I replaced it with the following.

<?php
if ($info->ranklevel > $user->ranklevel)
{?>
   <td align = "center"><b><font color="#FF0000">Above your rank!</font></b></td>
<?php	}
else
{?>					
   <td align = "center"><b><a id="<?php echo $result->id; ?>" class="addbid" href="<?php echo SITE_URL?>/action.php/Schedules/addbid/">Add to Bid</a></b></td>
<?php 	}?>

Somewhere I went wrong with this. The ADD TO BID still exists and is clickable. Here's the page code.

<?php
$pilotid = Auth::PilotID();
$user = PilotData::getPilotData($pilotid);       //HERE IS THE FIRST CODE YOU HAVE 
?>

<?php
if(!$allroutes)
{
echo '<p align="center">No routes have been found!</p>';
return;
}

I changed

$result->id

to

$route->id;

because you couldn't click the link to add the bid, it would just do nothing. No the text (ADD TO BID) is still there, it is just bold. All of my aircraft have rank restrictions for them, so not sure where I went wrong.

[Tylor Eddy]

I have just stumbled across this and am also having trouble implementing it, i have fiddled with the php but cant seem to get it to work correctly, bidding on a flight for an aircraft ranked higher will simple continue to allow the bid to go through.

Any help would be great

Tylor

[STARs]

Any one to assist?

[Kyle]

This was the pain in the butt for me as well. But I have got though it and made it work.

I'll find the code for it and share it here

[Kyle]

This should work, put in schedule_results.tpl

<?php
if(Auth::LoggedIn())
{
if($route->aircraftlevel > Auth::$userinfo->ranklevel)
{
?>
<b><font color="#FF0000">Above your rank!</font></b>
<?php
}
else
{
?>
<a id="<?php echo $route->id; ?>" class="addbid" href="<?php echo url('/schedules/addbid');?>">Add to Bid</a>
<?php  
}
}
?>

[Tylor Eddy]

G'day Kyle,

Just had a go at implementing the code you provided and it will still allow me to bid on an aircraft that is set for a higher rank that i currently am. I just took a look at my local.config.php file and there is no setting in there regarding the restriction of aircraft to ranks, so i may be missing that setting which is preventing it. Is there an actual setting for this in the local.config.php file ?

Thanks for digging up the code mate

Tylor

[Kyle]

I think that the aircraft rank level restriction is part of the stable version.

Look in the app.config.php and it should be there.

This is what should be in your local.config.php

Config::Set('RESTRICT_AIRCRAFT_RANKS', true);

[Tylor Eddy]

i didnt have that for some reason, i added it into my local.config.php and still no luck, it will still let me bid on those aircraft.

I'm running version 2.1.934

I'm not sure what's going on but any help would be appreciated

Regards

Tylor

[Laura]

I'm having the same problem, the rank keeps getting ignored, meaning any aircraft is bookable

I had a look at Kyle's Code for the schedule_results.tpl but that actually confuses me more than it helps, i got no idea where to put it

I've edited the schedule_results.tpl before - i'm using Front Schedule.

I'd appreciate any help or suggestion how to actually make the ranks work

Change this:

if(Auth::LoggedIn())
{
if(Config::Get('RESTRICT_AIRCRAFT_RANKS') === true && Auth::LoggedIn())
{
if($route->ranklevel > Auth::$userinfo->rankid)
{
continue;
}

To this:

if(Auth::LoggedIn())
{
if(Config::Get('RESTRICT_AIRCRAFT_RANKS') === true && Auth::LoggedIn())
{
if($route->aircraftlevel> Auth::$userinfo->rankid)//$route->ranklevel is changed to $route->aircraftlevel.
{
continue;
}

And that should resolve the issue.

[Laura]

Thank you for helping, but that didn't change anything - even the default booking page doens't work the way it should work

[Parkho]

Do you have the following added to your local.config.php? If not you need to add that.

Config::Set('RESTRICT_AIRCRAFT_RANKS', true);

[Laura]

Yeap - i've checked that before, it was mentioned in the FrontSchedules thread.

[Parkho]

Here is another approach:

if(Auth::LoggedIn())
{
if(Config::Get('RESTRICT_AIRCRAFT_RANKS') === true && Auth::LoggedIn())
{
$aircraft = OperationsData::getAircraftByReg($route->registration);
$pilotrank = Auth::$userinfo->ranklevel;
$aircraftrank = $aircraft->ranklevel;

if($aircraftrank > $pilotrank)
{
continue;
}

And make sure you have set the aircraft ranking higher than your pilot ranking to see if it works.

[Laura]

Wuhu - Perfect

Thank you so much - really appreciate your help

// Is there a simple way to show some text ( =Sorry rank too low) instead of the (now not displayed) "Add Bid" Link ?

// Is there a simple way to show some text ( =Sorry rank too low) instead of the (now not displayed) "Add Bid" Link ?

Yes, But you'll need to apply this inside the <td> tag that contains the "Add Bid" link. If you paste that part I can apply it for you.

[Laura]

So that would be somewhere in here ?

<a id="<?php echo $route->id; ?>" class="addbid"
								    href="<?php echo url('/schedules/addbid');?>"><strong>Book Flight</strong></a>
<?php }?>
    </td>

[Parkho]

Here it is:

<?php
if(Auth::LoggedIn())
   {
       if(Config::Get('RESTRICT_AIRCRAFT_RANKS') === true && Auth::LoggedIn())
           {
               $aircraft = OperationsData::getAircraftByReg($route->registration);
               $pilotrank = Auth::$userinfo->ranklevel;
               $aircraftrank = $aircraft->ranklevel;
               if($aircraftrank > $pilotrank)
                   {
                       echo 'Sorry rank too low!';
                   }
               else
                   {    
?>
                       <a id="<?php echo $route->id; ?>" class="addbid" href="<?php echo url('/schedules/addbid');?>"><strong>Book Flight</strong></a>
<?php
                   }
?>

[Laura]

I'm not sure why, but i don't quite get it

This is what my .tpl says, beginning from "if aircraftrank > pilotrank"

Doesn't it say -> if the aircraftrank is higher than your rank then continue (ignore the rank) ?

if($aircraftrank > $pilotrank)
{
continue;
}
		 }	
 $route->daysofweek = str_replace('7', '0', $route->daysofweek);

 if(strpos($route->daysofweek, date('w')) === false)
		 continue;
 if(Auth::LoggedIn())
 {
		 $search = array(
				 'p.pilotid' => Auth::$userinfo->pilotid,
				 'p.accepted' => PIREP_ACCEPTED
		 );

		 $reports = PIREPData::getLastReports(Auth::$userinfo->pilotid, 1, PIREP_ACCEPTED);

		 if(is_object($reports))
		 {
				 # IF the arrival airport doesn't match the departure airport
				 if($reports->arricao != $route->depicao)
				 {
						 continue;
				 }
		 }
		 if(!$reports)
		 {
				 if (Auth::$userinfo->hub != $route->depicao)
				 {
				 continue;
				 }
		 }
 }
					 ?>
						 <a id="<?php echo $route->id; ?>" class="addbid"
								 href="<?php echo url('/schedules/addbid');?>"><strong>Book Flight</strong></a>
<?php }?>
 </td>
</tr>
<?php
/* END OF ONE TABLE ROW */
}}
?>
</tbody>
</table>
<hr>

But then your lines

if($aircraftrank > $pilotrank)
								 {
										 echo 'Sorry rank too low!';
								 }
						 else
								 {	

say if the aircraftrank is higher than your rank, show "Sorry rank too low"

If not, then go on ?

I tried putting in your code, but i messed up somewhere as i only get a syntax error - "unexpected end blabla"

[Parkho]

Send your TPL to my email and I'll fix it for you.

cheers

Hi at all,

i have want made a restriction not by Rank but by Rating, but all what i do would fail didnt know what i can do!!! anyone here, they want help me to fix that iam a total noob and dont really know what iam doing
