Schedule Search in sidebar

[truemo9]

hey guys,

I was wondering if any one can do or has a code for a mini schedule search in the sidebar..

An example that i found was flyuk.

http://www.flyuk.aero

If you look on the right side of the page, they have like a find a flight search and i was wondering if i could insert that into my sidebar.

Thanks

You can edit it to fit your needs.

If you wanted to you could just include it on your page or put in in a frame.

I tried that front schedule but notes happening, thats what in the sidebar now,

[Jeff]

If you can post the link to your site I might be able to see if I can help code it to fit where you want it.

Jamie your site seems to have some problems mate,

[truemo9]

hmm thts odd..

[truemo9]

Found it, your security is banning it cos it has /en in it.

[Jeff]

First off, you'll need to go in your Admin Center an rename all your airports to something smaller in order to fit it in such a tight space. What I did was went in and renamed them to the Airport's city name (if Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, then I just named it Atlanta) If you come across a city that has multiple airports (London Heathrow or London Gatwick) then name them London-LHR and London-LGW). This will save a huge headache trying to fit something that large in a small space.

Next you can see if this code will work. (I'm not sure because I don't have it coded like this on my site.

<form action="<?php echo url('/FrontSchedules');?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
   <table align="left" border="0" width="100%">
       <tr>
           <td bgcolor="#05305D" border="1"><font color="#FFFFFF"><b>Departure</b></font></td>
           <td>
               <select class="search" name="depicao">
                   <option value="">All</option>
<?php if (Auth::LoggedIn()) {?>   
<?php $reports = PIREPData::getLastReports(Auth::$userinfo->pilotid, 1, PIREP_ACCEPTED);
if(is_object($reports))
       {echo '<option value="'.$reports->arricao.'">Your current location ('.$reports->arricao.')</option>';}
elseif(!$reports)
{echo '<option value="'.Auth::$userinfo->hub.'">Your current location ('.Auth::$userinfo->hub.')</option>';}}?>
<?php
foreach ($airports as $airport)
{
echo '<option value="'.$airport->icao.'">'.$airport->icao.' - '.$airport->name.'</option>';
}?>
               </select>
           </td>
       </tr>
           <td bgcolor="#05305D" border="1"><font color="#FFFFFF"><b>Arrival</b></font></td>
           <td>
               <select class="search" name="arricao">
                   <option value="">All</option>
                   <?php
                       foreach ($airports as $airport)
                           {echo '<option value="'.$airport->icao.'">'.$airport->icao.' - ('.$airport->name.')</option>';}
                   ?>
               </select>
           </td>
       </tr>
       <tr>
           <td>
               <input title="Click here to search for flights" type="hidden" name="action" value="findflight" />
               <input title="Click here to search for flights" type="submit" name="submit" value="Search" />
           </td>
       </tr>
   </table>
</form>

You are going to have to do some editing to remove some of the colors' codes I have in there.

[truemo9]

so place all that code in the siderbar bit??

[Jeff]

Place it where you have your other coding in that spot.

[truemo9]

ye ive edit abit and this is the outcome http://www.ukvfrvirtual.co.cc/en/index.php/

To say im amateur for php, i need abit more exact code for it to fit, i have also shortend the airport name aswell

[Jeff]

try to add a </div> at the end of the code.

[truemo9]

[truemo9]

its changed but the box around it has gone..

[truemo9]

and the box below has gone sideways, have u got msn jeff or skype? so we can get abit more detail

[Jeff]

If you would like for me to try to enter and get it sorted for you, PM me.

[Jeff]

I was able to get it on the side menu correctly, but somehow the Dep and Arr don't have the airport's name come up. If anyone has a solution that may solve this issue, please share.

[truemo9]

Try This

<form action="<?php echo url('/Schedules');?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
   <table>
       <tr>
           <td>Departure</td>
           <td>
               <select name="depicao">
                   <option value="">All</option>
<?php 
if (Auth::LoggedIn()) {
   $report = PIREPData::getLastReports(Auth::$userinfo->pilotid, 1, PIREP_ACCEPTED);
   if($report) {
       echo '<option value="'.$report->arricao.'">Your current location ('.$report->arricao.')</option>';
   }
   else {
       echo '<option value="'.Auth::$userinfo->hub.'">Your current location ('.Auth::$userinfo->hub.')</option>';
   }
}

$airports = OperationsData::getAllAirports();
foreach ($airports as $airport) {
   echo '<option value="'.$airport->icao.'">'.$airport->icao.' - '.$airport->name.'</option>';
}?>
               </select>
           </td>
       </tr>
           <td>Arrival</td>
           <td>
               <select name="arricao">
                   <option value="">All</option>
                   <?php
                       foreach ($airports as $airport) {
                           echo '<option value="'.$airport->icao.'">'.$airport->icao.' - ('.$airport->name.')</option>';
                       }
                   ?>
               </select>
           </td>
       </tr>
       <tr>
           <td>
               <input type="hidden" name="action" value="findflight" />
               <input title="Click here to search for flights" type="submit" name="submit" value="Search" />
           </td>
       </tr>
   </table>
</form>

1. Changed the form target to the standard "Schedules" module.

2. Filled the $airports with the airport array

3. Cleaned up some of the php tags

Should work but NOT tested

[truemo9]

i get this error, if you jeff, you can pm for the ftp details and sort it out..

[Guest lorathon]

what errors? Post the error.

[truemo9]

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/airlinef/public_html/ukvfrvirtual.co.cc/en/lib/skins/cityportal/frontpage_main.tpl on line 42

[Guest lorathon]

I fixed the parse error in my other post. Recopy and insert and give it a try.

[truemo9]

ok its right, but its too big and i dont want the highlight for the dep and arr

[Jeff]

I fixed the color issue for you

[Guest lorathon]

I removed the styling. You can now style it to fit. Does it return flights when searched?

[truemo9]

right, done that, but now the width of the drop bar..
