acars map embed

Nick · March 22, 2011

Hi folks,

I have a running phpvms on my web and I have a another website, and I want to know if there is a way I can embed the live acars map? I tried figuring out the root part of the acars map. for an ex: www.website.com/map but cant find it on the files. Hope this is clear.

Embed http://yoursite.com/action.php/acars in an iframe or something. That will show the acars map and flight table without any skin.

Hope this is what you wanted...

public_html/core/templates/route_map.tpl

trying that..all it shows is "Pilot Flight Number Departure Arrival Status Altitude Speed Distance/Time Remain" no map and location of me. kacars is on, and i checked with the actual live one.

You'll need the following somewhere in your <head></head> section:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"></script>

And possibly some others.

okay, i added that.

Here's where i wanted the live map to show. if you go to my link http://worldwideairlines.net/ctp/ and on the bottom you will see the blank map with the "Pilot Flight Number Departure Arrival Status Altitude Speed Distance/Time Remain" text.

The place where the phpvms software is here http://nick.worldwideairlines.net/index.php/acars

Maybe this will help get what I want?

Only need the Map and the status info.

Not sure what others i'd need, as you mentioned.

Remove the </head> directly after that javascript. I'm not sure exactly what else it is, have a look in core_htmlhead.tpl.

Nick · March 22, 2011

here's my code for the /ctp...

the map code is in the head part and the live tracker that im trying to get working is right at the end before "</body>"

If you can see this, your browser doesn't

understand IFRAME. However, we'll still

you to the file.

</IFRAME>

Personally speaking i would only use the iframe at a last result. Try the embed option first.

Thats not the full code above you are missing php code, that just looks like a view source optput.
