Getting started

[Laura]

I downloaded the VAirline Skin to get myself into this whole skinning procedure

Thing is, how do i make those left boxes only appear on one page - the home site ?

For now they show up everywhere, and i don't need the "Newest Pilots" Box on the ACARS Map Page or the Profile page

Hi Laura,

first and fore most want to say WOW for being the first female ive ever seen here on phpvms and the FS community....not many of the members in the community are female and thats great that you have come to join us

now with your question...the piece of code is in the layout.tpl and that template is used globally by your skin on phpvms there for will appear on every page....you might want to move it to the page where you want it displayed....assuming you just want it in the home page since most of that information relates to that page you can move it to frontpage_main.tpl

Yep, i get that alot - especially when flying online

Now, i looked up the corresponding code - that's

</div>
   <div id="left">
<div id="box">
<h3>Recent Reports</h3>

<?php MainController::Run('PIREPS', 'RecentFrontPage', 5); ?>
   </div>
<div id="box">
<h3>Newest Pilots</h3>

<?php MainController::Run('Pilots', 'RecentFrontPage', 5); ?>
   </div>

I cut out - Boxes gone - so far so good

My frontpage.tpl looks like this

<?php
// Show the News module, call the function ShowNewsFront
// This is in the modules/Frontpage folder

MainController::Run('News', 'ShowNewsFront', 5);
   ?>

This maybe a silly question, but how do i add it correctly to not get a "syntax error"

This is all new to me, but i'm more than just willing to learn

<div id="left">
<div id="box">

<?php MainController::Run('PIREPS', 'RecentFrontPage', 5); ?>
</div>
<div id="box">
<h3>Newest Pilots</h3>

<?php MainController::Run('Pilots', 'RecentFrontPage', 5); ?>
</div>

from what i see on your code you cut out one of the closing <div> tags and that might be giving you your sintax error ...you should be cutting out

    <div id="left">
<div id="box">
<h3>Recent Reports</h3>
<?php MainController::Run('PIREPS', 'RecentFrontPage', 5); ?>
    </div>
<div id="box">
<h3>Newest Pilots</h3>
<?php MainController::Run('Pilots', 'RecentFrontPage', 5); ?>
    </div>

and should look something like this

<?php
// Show the News module, call the function ShowNewsFront
// This is in the modules/Frontpage folder

MainController::Run('News', 'ShowNewsFront', 5);
?>

       <div id="left">
<div id="box">
<h3>Recent Reports</h3>

<?php MainController::Run('PIREPS', 'RecentFrontPage', 5); ?>
       </div>
<div id="box">
<h3>Newest Pilots</h3>

<?php MainController::Run('Pilots', 'RecentFrontPage', 5); ?>
       </div>
