Intergreating PHPVMS into a site


Sahaab-UVA-COO

Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone icon_e_smile.gif UVA has confirmed that they will use PHPVMS. However we here at UVA already have a website up at: http://unitedairlinesva.com/index9.php. We would like to use the PHPVMS system on our website rather then using phpvms as our website. Is it possible to do this? I thought so until I realized that all pages of phpvms go through the index.php. The situation is rather complicated. So is it possible to take the coding/scripts of individual pages such as the login page and put it were I want it in my website? How can I eliminate the need of the index.php page? So that for example instead of using http://unitedairlinesva.com/index.php/a ... /Dashborad to get to the dashboard I can instead use http://unitedairlinesva.com/admin/modules/Dashborad If somebody could talk to me on msn or skype that would be appreciated.

Hey,Thanks for checking it out.The way you've described, there is no way to really do that.phpVMS is the entire site, and the customization is done to phpVMS itself.I've looked at your site, you need to create a skin - which is your header/footer, and point your links to phpVMS's pages; and you can create pages, etc; it's like a content management system, and the VA stuff integrated. For instance, it would be unitedairlinesva.com/index.php/Profile to get to the pilot profile.Now, if you want to get rid of the index.php, you can use mod_rewrite. I can help you write the rewrite rule for it, but it's a module for apache. It doesn't eliminate index.php, but it eliminates it from the URL. For the admin area, removing it would be difficult, as the admin area is more complicated to do that for.Read through the docs, the managing your site, customizing, and then the skinning, that may clear up your questions, hopefully.Let me know if you need more help,Thanks Saleem Saheb icon_e_wink.gif

Nabeel, i don't understand how you could create a load of virtual airlines all looking the same, how boaring, including a massive phpvms logo at the top:s , iv fallen for this though i have quite using phpvms, though it is a free product, i am not wanting my va to look cheep. I recommend to you that you take away the main site index so tht, example... http://www.virtualairline.co.uk/php/members/login.php, would be on its own and the background gradient.I hope you learn from this as im sure many other product users are experiancing the same doubts!

They don't all look the same. It's a default template. You have to change the template. Check out some of these:http://www.flyeurobelgian.com/http://ceruleanairlines.com/A few more also in the works that look really nice.The way it looks is upto you, and the amount of effort you put in. Any software you run will have default templates, look at wordpress, phpbb, etc, just like with any of those you need to put in the time to customize it, and the way phpVMS works is the same as those, in terms of templating. If you wanna have a good VA, that's what you gotta do.Each page has its own templates, and there is a master header/footer which you customize. Customizing the page templates is also very easy, and you don't touch any PHP.
