4. Upload the ADMIN and CORE folders to your website by placing them in the phpvms root folder

Create Custom Fields

For SMPirepValidator to work correctly, you´ll have to create custom fields to receive the VID and CID. These fields are not available by default in phpVMS. After creating them, your pilots will be able to access them in their profile.

1. Access the phpVMS administrative panel

2. On the side menu, click on Site & Settings

3. Click on Profile Fields

4. At the top of the side menu, click Add a Custom Field

5. In pop-up window, enter the following values:

   Title: Ivao ID

   Field Type: Text

   Default value: leave blank

   Show in User Profile: YES

   Show During Registration: YES

   Required: {if you answer YES, it will be a required field when pilot registering}

Repeat the procedure in item 5 to include the field that will receive the CID. Just enter in the Title field: Vatsim ID.

Important: Inform Title exactly as described, considering the uppercases and spaces.

CRON JOB

This is the commonly used command line. If in doubt, consult your host provider

/usr/bin/GET https://{your_website}/{your_phpvms_folder}/action.php/SMPirepValidator/run_check

How does work?

After you enable CRON JOB, the module will add all the pilot's flight logs to the sm_onlinelog table. When validating the PIREP, the system will show if the LOG was found and will enable the administrator to see the LOG of the flight performed at IVAO/VATSIM.

ENJOY!!!!

NOTE

1. Tested under PHP 7.4 and phpVMS v5.5.2.72

2. We made a litle bit change to the original code of the pirep_list.php file to allow the IVAO / VATSIM flight log to be presented when validating PIREP. Therefore, it is important that you back up your file. This file is in the admin/templates folder. We have provided a backup of the original file in the bkp_original_file folder.

3. This module is designed to take IVAO and VATSIM logs every 15 minutes and add them to the sm_onlinelog table.
