Looking for specific modules

Hirohito0301 · November 24

Hello,

I am new to phpVMS, we currently have the Hosting Pack with TFDI which allows for us to use SmartCARS3 with phpVMS 7. My VA has been around since 2001 and we have a lot of information we are moving over, and a sizeable crew too coming over. After a reinstall to fix some issues that took place the first time around, everything seems to be working well so far with the rough test I was able to do.

Some things I was curious about though when it comes to our pireps, our old system had the ability to track people's time on VatSIM during the flight and if they weren't online while the flight took place, the pirep would be flagged for a hub manager to review. Is there any module currently out there that works with phpVMS7? I did some Googling, and most of the stuff I saw was for phpVMS5 and prior.

I was also curious if there was a module that could collect landing rate information for phpVMS7? We normally have a little thing on our main page back on the old side that would throw people up on the board if they had a good average over the span of like 12 flights or something. Just a friendly competition to keep people buttering the runways. Something I wanted to carry over if possible.

Thank you in advance for any advice you may be able to provide.

Hi Chris,

Landing rate tracking is already built in phpVMS v7, if SmartCARS3 provides the data back then you should be able to see, analyze, use for stats, leaderboard etc.

For Online Network tracking (IVAO/VATSIM) we do have a module yes, DisposableBasic provides network checks (online/offline) and callsign checks, records the results as additional pirep fields, which then you can develop your own flagging code. Currently DispoBasic can auto reject pireps which are below your defined criteria (along with some other stuff you can define). It also provides some API endpoints to fetch/display data on your landing page (outside phpVMS namespace).

You can check the download section and module repository for full features. Also there are some other modules, developed by Taylor mostly (not for the features you asked but he provided nice additions). You can check forum and discord for them too.

Hope this helps, enjoy v7
