HOW DO I CHANGE A PILOT'S RANK?

If you have this set in your local.config.php...

# Automatically calculate ranks?
Config::Set('RANKS_AUTOCALCULATE', true);

Change it to...

# Automatically calculate ranks?
Config::Set('RANKS_AUTOCALCULATE', false);

And then, when you go to your admin center, on the side, click on Pilots & Groups, and click on View All Pilots. Select the pilot you want to edit, and then change their rank to whatever you want to, and click save button.

thanks, that worked for me...

a quick question, do we need to change it back to "true" so it will automatically calculate the ranks by hours, or it will do that anyway?

Thanks

Yes that's correct, whenever it's true, it will automatically calculate. If not, then no.

Hello,

I tried that out.

But it did not work for me.

I have a fixed text for rank, and I cannot change that.

Yet I did not find this file: local.config.php

I did change it in this one: app.config.php

Greetings,

Both the local.config and app.config are in the same place. Inside the core folder.

[aarbee]

Sigh.

You are correct.

I looked yesterday at the unzipped files, and there was no local with it.

So I took the chance to login via FTP and there it was. It works like a Charm.

Thank you.

And that also solves my problem for the Euro sign.

It's best to use an FTP program to change your files like FileZilla.

[aarbee]

Thanks for the tip.

That was allready my ftp program.

Mind you, if you set autocalc to false you have to do every promotion manually. If you have a handful of ranks and more than a handful of pilots, that might give you a lot of work!

its either calculate automatically and not be able to change it manually, or the other way around.

Go to your local.config.cfg file and replace this:

# Automatically calculate ranks?
Config::Set('RANKS_AUTOCALCULATE', true);

with this one:

# Automatically calculate ranks?
Config::Set('RANKS_AUTOCALCULATE', false);
