Double or tripple bids - how to restrict?

[CEO North Air]

Good eve,

long time ago since I needed your help. Short question, and I´m sure you´wll have the solution. Well how restrict double or tripple bids? I mean one pilot made his bid for flight NXA1, now no one else will have the chance to bid as well.

Hopefully can help as soon as possible.

Best regards from rainy northern Germany

We added following code to the localconfig.php

# If someone places a bid, whether to disable that or not

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

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

But nothing works.

Thanks a lot for you help!

we use Real Schedule Lite. And how we can make this:

Pilot A have rank 1, but he can add a bid with an aircraft for rank 3. How we can disable this?

I believe you can restrict what a pilot can see on the schedules also preventing him from bidding on flights that he does not have the rank to fly.

In the admin section edit the aircrafts, in there you will see minimum rank to fly.

In the schedules results tpl (i think) there is an option to uncomment out the code to restrict the display to the aircraft the pilot is ranked to fly.

Hope you get what i mean.

Ahh I just bumped in to the very same issue not even 5 minutes ago. Using Real Schedule, a pilot bid on a flight and flew it, but as soon as she tried to file a pirep, it would not allow her to choose the correct aircraft. I have everything setup the way it should be.

The only way I see it until we can come up with a fix, dirty or clean, is to just let them fly what ever they want. No rank required.

but we want this

And how did the second Pilot this know? He fly 6 hours and then he becomes the message: An other Pilot has already do this flight?

[TAV1702]

The problem she had was it showed that the flight was available. So she bid on it and then flew the flight. After flying the flight, she went in to file a manual pirep only to find out that she could not because the aircraft was not available for her rank. So in other words, the flight will still show up but if they can't fly that aircraft, they are sh*t out of luck unless they have a nice admin. There was never no 2nd pilot it was only her.

And yeah I agree, I want that too. Meaning ranks to fly aircraft, but so far I have tested 3 times since then and have had the same issue. Maybe this is something Simpilot needs to look at in his Module. I do not see this as being a phpVMS issue.

** @ the original thread poster**

Now as far as the double and triple bids go, you must go in to the local config file and disable schedule on bid if that is how you want it to be.

correct, with the schedule from PHPVMS works it. When other choose a Flight, then remove the system this flight from the schedule. The same with the Aircraft, when one Aircraft not for your rank is, then is this flight not in the shedule to see.

Real Shedule Lite show all. And this is our problem, doesnt anybody know an code? For this two problems?

I did not build any flight restrictions into RealSchedule. You could apply the same if and else commands to the RealSchedule templates to achive what you are requestsing. Take a look at the native functions of phpvms in regards to the schedules and aircraft, namly the schedule_results.tpl file and use some of those logical operators within the templates for RealSchedule.

DOH! I never though of that Simpilot. Nice one. I'll give that a go and see. Or it could even show the flight, but add a disclaimer that it is unavailable for their rank or something like that. Hmmmmm. The posibillities.

Good eve to all,

@ Simpilot

Am I right, you meant to check the schedule_results.tpl and fix some operators in the same ways we can fix those problems for phpvms schedule?

@ TAV1702

Do you fixed that problem? Maybe you can show us your code and explain in a few words how it works and prohibited double bids or bids without rank-availability?

Thanks a lot guys, wish you all the best and sending best regards from rainy Germany

I was not able to fix it. Most of all 6 of my pilots use the schedule search. Only a couple of us are using real schedule. So really for me it is no big deal since there are only a whopping 6 whole pilots on my roster. When and IF I ever get more pilots, I will be majorly concerned over this if I did away with schedule search and only used real schedule.

[BastiDE]

Okay, I was trying it. But it doesnt work!

At the moment i dont have added the control for ranks (because the double-bid doesnt work )

Please help me, here is the code:

//If pilot is logged in check their location

//If the pilot is at this airport allow them to bid on flights

if(Auth::LoggedIn() == true)

{

$location = PIREPData::getLastReports(Auth::$userinfo->pilotid, 1, '');

$location = RealScheduleLiteData::get_pilot_location(Auth::$userinfo->pilotid);

if(!$location == $name->hub)

{

echo '<td><a id="'.$flight->id.'" class="addbid"

href="'.actionurl('/schedules/addbid').'">Buchen</a></td>';

}

else if($location->arricao == $name->icao)

{

echo '<td><a id="'.$flight->id.'" class="addbid"

href="'.actionurl('/schedules/addbid').'">Buchen</a></td>';

}

else

{

echo '<td>Sie sind nicht in '.$name->name.'</td>';

}

}

if(Auth::LoggedIn() == true)

{

if(Config::Get('DISABLE_SCHED_ON_BID') == true && $route->bidid != 0)

{

echo '<td><a id="'.$flight->id.'" class="addbid"

href="'.actionurl('/schedules/addbid').'">Buchen</a></td>';

}

{

if(Auth::LoggedIn())

{

?>

<a id="<?php echo $route->id; ?>" class="addbid"

href="<?php echo url('/schedules/addbid');?>">Buchung</a>

<?php

}

}

}

But i can add an bid, who have added another!

Can one help me? And eventually say me how i can add the flight restrictions for rankings? Or can one correct it?

[BastiDE]

nobody an idea?
