LOA

[Jacob Armstrong]

I have this code in pilot_list.tpl:

<?php

if (PilotData::GetFieldValue($pilot->pilotid, 'LOA' == "LOA")){
echo "<td style=\"color: orange;\">LOA</td>";
}else {
echo "<td style=\"color: green;\">Active</td>";
}
?>

I have a pilot's account set to LOA, but it still shows green Active. Do you know why? Here is my pilot roster; www.virtualamerican.org/index.php/pilots. Thanks.

Is this looking at if a pilot is Active/Inactive?

Sorta. I don't want to use the Active/Inactive that is already in the system because I want a LOA option as well. I've set it up to do it this way with an extra field. So, do you know if it's my coding. I'm new to PHP and don't know if I messed up something. LOL

So you added LOA to the Active/Inactive select in the admin panel?

Have you set it up to be recording another value? For active: retired=0, inactive: retired=1 - so you'll need to modify the form to add retired=2 or something.

Alternatively, you can just call Inactive "LOA" on you pilots list, in which case (assuming the way you're retrieving pilot data is correct because I don't remember it off the top of my head):

<?php

if (PilotData::GetFieldValue($pilot->retired) == 1){
echo '<td style="color: orange;">LOA</td>';
}else {
echo '<td style="color: green;">Active</td>';
}
?>

No. I didn't add it to the Active/Inactive part already made in the system, I made a custom field called LOA. I would put LOA or Active in it.

Right OK. That code was wrong any way - it's early

<?php

if (PilotData::GetFieldValue($pilot->pilotid, 'LOA') == "LOA"){
echo '<td style="color: orange;">LOA</td>';
}else {
echo '<td style="color: green;">Active</td>';
}
?>

Hopefully should work. Just a ")" in the wrong place.

Thanks you very much, sir!

Where/what would I edit to add that into the admin menu?!

I don't know about the admin panel. It's very touchy. I tried editing it and messed it up.
