Email Pilot on submitting a pirep

[mark1million]

I have had a search about and cant find what im looking for.

I want to extend the code a bit in the PIREPData.Class.php to also send a summary to the pilot upon sending in a pirep.

This is the send to admin email notification of a new pirep

           # Send an email to the admin that a PIREP was submitted
           $sub = "A PIREP has been submitted by {$pilotcode} ({$pirepdata['depicao']} - {$pirepdata['arricao']})";
           $message = "A PIREP has been submitted by {$pilotcode} "
               ."({$pilotinfo->firstname} {$pilotinfo->lastname})\n\n"
               ."{$pirepdata['code']}{$pirepdata['flightnum']}: {$pirepdata['depicao']} to {$pirepdata['arricao']}\n"
               ."Aircraft: {$pirepdata['aircraft']}\n" . "Flight Time: {$pirepdata['flighttime']}\n"
               ."Landing Rate: {$pirepdata['landingrate']}\n"."Filed using: {$pirepdata['source']}\n\n" 
               ."Comment: {$comment}\n\n"
               ."Click to approve this pirep (admin must be signed in):\n"
               .adminurl('/pirepadmin/approvepirep/'.$pirepid);

           $email = Config::Get('EMAIL_NEW_PIREP');
           if (empty($email)) {
               $email = ADMIN_EMAIL;
           }

           Util::SendEmail($email, $sub, $message);
       }

Clearly i would not want to send that approve link to the pilot so i can remove that no problem, would it just be a simple case of adding $pilotinfo->email to that Util?

[freshJet]

I think there's an option in the config.

[mark1million]

Ah ok i dont remember seeing it will go and have a look now.

           # Send an email to the pilot who submitted that PIREP
           $sub = "Your flight report - {$pirepdata['depicao']} - {$pirepdata['arricao']}";
           $message = "You have filed a PIREP ({$pirepdata['code']}{$pirepdata['flightnum']})"
               ."({$pilotinfo->firstname} {$pilotinfo->lastname})\n\n"
               ."{$pirepdata['code']}{$pirepdata['flightnum']}: {$pirepdata['depicao']} to {$pirepdata['arricao']}\n"
               ."Aircraft: {$pirepdata['aircraft']}\n" . "Flight Time: {$pirepdata['flighttime']}\n"
               ."Landing Rate: {$pirepdata['landingrate']}\n"."Filed using: {$pirepdata['source']}\n\n" 
               ."Comment: {$comment}\n\n";

               $email = $pilotinfo->email;

           Util::SendEmail($email, $sub, $message);
       }

Mark, this would be the code [NOT TESTED], give this a try and see what happens. Add after the line of code that you posted. first post.

[mark1million]

Thanks Kyle, just got to pick the wife up from work so will test out later (dont want to be late lol).

Cheers.

Thanks Kyle. Just what I was looking for, I'm gonna test it now.

[Parkho]

It's working just fine. But is it possible to give the info in every line in the email rather than in 1 line?

[mark1million]

Just got back in

Just add more \n that will give new lines

[mark1million]

Sorry,

This seems to work

."<br /><br />Has been successfully received to the server"

[Parkho]

Just got back in

Just add more \n that will give new lines

Nope! Still in one line in the email. Maybe I could use a textarea command?

[Kyle]

You can create a tpl file and we would have to change the code to make the info of pirep to be parsed.

I'll write up a new code and attach a tpl file. Give me a few.

Thanks Kyle. I'll be waiting

[Kyle]

Okay, replace the code that you are using from me with this..

(NOT TESTED)

		//PILOT INFO
		$pilotfirstname = $pilotinfo->firstname;
		$pilotlastname= $pilotinfo->lastname;
		$email = $pilotinfo->email;
		//PIREP INFO (This all goes into the email, we will need to add those into the TPL)
		$code = $pirepdata['code'];
		$flightnum = $pirepdata['flightnum'];
		$depicao = $pirepdata['depicao'];
		$arricao = $pirepdata['arricao'];
		$aircraft = $pirepdata['aircraft'];
		$flighttime = $pirepdata['flighttime'];
		$landingrate = $pirepdata['landingrate'];
		$source = $pirepdata['source'];
		$comment = $comment;

		$sub = 'PIREP Report - '.$code.''.$flightnum;
		$message = Template::Get('email_pirep_info.tpl', true);
		Util::SendEmail($email, $sub, $message);

AND Create a tpl file called email_pirep_info.tpl and place in your core/templates. The forums won't let me upload tpl files.

And copy this code and paste into email_pirep_info.tpl...

<p>Dear <?php echo $pilotfirstname .' '. $pilotlastname; ?>,

 </p>
<p>Here is your submitted flight report enclosed for your review.</p>
<p><b>Flight Number:</b><?php echo $code.''.$flightnum;?> </p>
<p><b>Departure:</b><?php echo $depicao;?> </p>
<p><b>Arrival:</b><?php echo $arricao;?> </p>
<p><b>Aircraft:</b><?php echo $aircraft;?> </p>
<p><b>Flight Time:</b><?php echo $flighttime;?> </p>
<p><b>Landing Rate:</b><?php echo $landingrate;?> </p>
<p><b>Filed By:</b><?php echo $source;?> </p>
<p><b>Comments:</b><?php echo $comment;?> </p>

And that should work for you. Please test it cause there's no one flying yet and to test it at my VA, lol.

I know the code is not so great, but that's a start, lol.

Cheers!

Thanks a lot man. You've done too much I'll give it shot.

[Parkho]

Okay! the email was sent but it's just showing the tags not the data.

[Kyle]

Sorry, I made a silly mistake.

Try this and put in the php file.

		//PILOT INFO
		$pilotfirstname = $pilotinfo->firstname;
		$pilotlastname= $pilotinfo->lastname;
		$email = $pilotinfo->email;
		//PIREP INFO (This all goes into the email, we will need to add those into the TPL)
		$code = $pirepdata->code;
		$flightnum = $pirepdata->flightnum;
		$depicao = $pirepdata->depicao;
		$arricao = $pirepdata->arricao;
		$aircraft = $pirepdata->aircraft;
		$flighttime = $pirepdata->flighttime;
		$landingrate = $pirepdata->landingrate;
		$source = $pirepdata->source;
		$comment = $comment;

		$email = $pilotinfo->email;
		$sub = 'PIREP Report - '.$code.''.$flightnum;
		$message = Template::Get('email_pirep_info.tpl', true);
		Util::SendEmail($email, $sub, $message);

Okay! I think we're missing something here. The Template::set(...) ?!

[Strider]

It is working somewhat for me, the email sends, but nothing is shoing up, just the text that was hard coded in. Nothing from the pirep. Where exactly should I place this code? I have the files in the correct place.

Okay. Change the code in PIREPData.class.php to the one above. It's tested and working.

[Guest lorathon]

You need to set the data into the template and then get the template. Then use the data inside of the template.

SET DATA

Template::Set('pilotinfo', $pilotinfo));
Template::Set('flight', $pirepdata);

GET TEMPLATE

$message = Template::Get('email_pirep_info.tpl', true);

USE DATA (inside of template)

Hello <?php echo $pilotinfo->firstname.' '.$pilot->lastname?>, 
</br>
Your PIREP for Flight#<?php echo $flight['code'].$flight['flightnum']?>....... 

SEND EMAIL

Util::SendEmail($email, $sub, $message);

NOT TESTED but should work.

Yes it;s working. But how can I get it to show aircraft name instead of aircraft ID?

[Jeff]

Here is what I got when a flight was submitted.

Flight Number:DL133

Departure:KATL

Arrival:KMIA

Aircraft:63

Flight Time:1.30

Landing Rate:0

Filed By:manual

Comments:This is a test flight submission.

I would also like to know how to show the aircraft name, and also how to show the Flight Log.

Yes exactly the same here.

[Parkho]

Okay! Here is what I designed for the .tpl. BTW I'm using FSPAX as my PIREP, so if you guys ever wanted to switch to FSPAX pirep system, let me know and I can give you the required files. We also have the FSPAX pilot pointing system at our airline which I can share as well.

[Strider]

I got it working now. Thanks.
