7. Installing Modules

This skin has preset modules. Only the template files are installed. You will need to install the Modules. Open the folder in the skin download titled 3rd Party MODS. Please note that the template files have been removed from the ip files so you dont overwrite the files.

This template has a no hub pilots list. You will need to add the Pilots module that is included in the download. Just upload the core folder to your phpVMS installation directory. (back up your Pilots Module before uploading the included file. Only install if you have no edits to the Pilots Module)

Remember to install all the modules!

You will need to add some code the data classes. Add the following code below to core/common/TouchdownStatsData.class Add the following code below to core/common/StatsData.class 
public static function TotalPilotMiles($pilotid)
{
  $key = 'total_miles';
  $key .= '_'.$pilotid;

  $total = CodonCache::read($key);

  if($total === false)
  {
   $total = 0;
   $sql = "SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."pireps WHERE pilotid='$pilotid' AND accepted=1";
   $results = DB::get_results($sql);
   if($results) { foreach($results as $result) { $total += $result->distance; } }

  }
