Stats Page

CPC900 · December 11, 2010

Ok, I really don't understand the workings of phpvms to try and do my own modules. So, I am asking for some guidance on one of my old sites stats pages.....

Here is my original code of an html page. It basically showed the amount of hours pilots had per aircraft. I am hoping someone can sort of guide me in how/what I could do to make this function in phpvms.

I used to pull all the data from the sql database, and obviously, you can tell I was doing it the long/hard way.

I think I get confused by how to grab the data, how to add the data together from different tables, etc. inside the phpvms environment. I would really like to understand phpvms so I can help, rather than asking questions all the time and feeling stupid

Ok, I will try a different approach

If I was trying to get the pilot stats for flights and/or hours for aircraft type, for individual pilots, what would I be looking to code?!

simpilot · December 17, 2010

There are a few functions available in the native stats class of phpVMS.

StatsData.class.php::PilotAircraftFlownCounts($pilotid)

will get you an array of the aircraft that the pilot has flown and how many times he has flown each one.

StatsData.class.php::AircraftUsage()

will return an array that shows how many times each aircraft in the fleet has been flown on a route

To get other customized stats it would be much easier to build a data class within phpVMS, it would alread be connected to the database and would make things a lot easier on you.

StatsData.class.php::PilotAircraftFlownCounts($pilotid)
will get you an array of the aircraft that the pilot has flown and how many times he has flown each one.

Ok, lets say with this first example....I would add that to a page I create. Say a module I have created that the php codon extends part is done. So it knows there is a module. Then the .tpl file for said module has that line of code "StatsData.class.php::PilotAircraftFlownCounts($pilotid)" in it.

Then?? I create a table to display the results in?

CPC900 · December 17, 2010

Nabeel, I have read them, I just don't understand them. I know this may seem obvious to you and others, but not to me.

Let me try to get a grasp of this. Okay in the api docs example of:

$pilots = PilotData::getAllPilots();
foreach($pilots as $pilot)
{
echo "{$pilot->firstname} {$pilot->lastname}";
}

It says it will output the pilots name. Now when I am testing this in a module, all I get is

 firstname} {$pilot->lastname}"; } ?>

. It doesn't echo the data, just what I typed in after

echo "

So I don't know what I am missing here. I think the more I read to understand phpvms, the more I am confused on how it works. Am I the only one?!

I want to be able to create some things on my own, instead of just using what others have created; but I am having a problem grasping it. I am not a programmer and when I created my old site, it was just basic html/sql stuff. And I still had to get some help with that stuff.

simpilot · December 17, 2010

Try replacing that line with:

echo $pilot->firstname.' '.$pilot->lastname;

It just looks like a syntax error.

Also I made a quick layout for a module to try to show the relationship of the three pieces (Model(data class), Controller(module files), View(templates)) here -> http://forum.phpvms.net/topic/4095-solved-with-many-thanks-coding-noob-need-help/page__view__findpost__p__27456 See what you think. I am also on msn most evenings (Eastern USA), feel free to add me.

CPC900 · December 18, 2010

Yes, I appreciate that info:

to try to show the relationship of the three pieces

I will try to experiment with that. I will also try to touch base with you on this through msn. Send me an IM on your id, I couldn't add you as "simpilot"?! Much appreciated
