Issue with display [SOLVED]

[ACVA_CEO]

Hey all,

Here's what's going on. I'm trying to display my Vatsim ID. It shows up under /profile/view/1 but won't show under /profile or /pilots. Does anyone know how to view the template for /profile/view/1 ?

It doesn't show up on the prrofile page. Pilots I assume pilots you mean the roster? There is code you have to uncomment for it to show up.

[ACVA_CEO]

I did that..Is it supposed to be left in that area or moved down with the other lines in the pilots_list.tpl?

You must go to core/templates/pilot_list.tpl

[ACVA_CEO]

I have to do it in the core as well as in the skin? Won't the core be overwritten?

As long as you have placed your modified template files in your custom skins folder they will not be overwritten. If you have been modifying the files with in the core/templates folder (which you should not be doing) they will get overwritten in an update. The system looks for the needed template in the chosen skin, then if it is not found it will go get the generic one out of the core/templates folder.

Ok...good. That's what I've been doing (pilots_list under skin). Everything else shows up fine except for the vatsim id. Here is a the code from the page.

<h3><?php echo $title?></h3>

<?php
if(!$allpilots)
{
	echo 'There are no pilots!';
	return;
}
?>
<table width="945" border="1" class="tablesorter" id="tabledlist">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Pilot ID</th>
<th width="25%">Name</th>
<th width="19%">Rank</th>
<th width="15%">Flights</th>
<th width="17%">Hours</th>
   <th width="24%">Vatsim ID</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php
foreach($allpilots as $pilot)
{
/* 
	To include a custom field, use the following example:



	For instance, if you added a field called "IVAO Callsign":

		echo PilotData::GetFieldValue($pilot->pilotid, 'IVAO Callsign');		
 */

 // To skip a retired pilot, uncomment the next line:
 if($pilot->retired == 1) { continue; }
?>
<tr>
<td width="7%" nowrap><div align="center"><a href="<?php echo url('/profile/view/'.$pilot->pilotid);?>">
  <?php echo PilotData::GetPilotCode($pilot->code, $pilot->pilotid)?></a></div></td>
<td>
	<div align="center"><img src="<?php echo Countries::getCountryImage($pilot->location);?>" 
		alt="<?php echo Countries::getCountryName($pilot->location);?>" />

	  <?php echo $pilot->firstname.' '.$pilot->lastname?>
     </div></td>
<td><div align="center"><img src="<?php echo $pilot->rankimage?>" alt="<?php echo $pilot->rank;?>" /></div></td>
<td><div align="center"><?php echo $pilot->totalflights?></div></td>
<td><div align="center"><?php echo Util::AddTime($pilot->totalhours, $pilot->transferhours); ?></div></td>
<td><div align="center"><?php echo PilotData::GetFieldValue($pilot->pilotid, 'Vatsim_ID');?></div></td>
   <?php
}
?>
</tbody>
</table>

Is the field title Vatsim_IDor Vatsim ID? Are you using that same value you use in the other template?

[ACVA_CEO]

I'm using Vatsim_ID ,Is there another template besides pilots_list?

[Nabeel]

For that one? Nope. If you make a different change (add some text somewhere), does that show up?

[ACVA_CEO]

yeah...I got rid of the code except for the <div>, typed the word help, and it showed up in the vastim area as regular text

[ACVA_CEO]

Ok...So I did a re-install and now it works...must have been an error in the database or something....

thanks for your help gents.
