Simpilotgroup © | Status Badge System Installer

Unzip and upload the StatusInstall folder to the root of your phpVMS installation.
(This should be the same folder on your server that contains the /core /lib and /admin folders)
Log into your site (You must be an administrator and logged in to run the installer)
Go to www.yoursite.com/StatusInstall and follow the instructions.
All files and original status badges will be created for you automatically.
Remember to delete the StatusInstall folder from your site when done installing the system.

Create a Cronjob on your server to run the script located at core/modules/Status/updatestatus.php

This is an example of a Cronjob to update the badges every 10 minutes.

*/10 * * * * /usr/bin/php -f /home/yourdomain/public_html/core/modules/Status/updatestatus.php /dev/null 2>&1
The paths for the script and php may vary for your server and will need to be corrected to function properly.
To manually update your va's status badges goto www.yoursite.com/core/modules/status/updatestatus.php in your browser. There will be no screen output, but your badges will be updated to current data.

You can link to your status badge from anywhere just as you would any other image.
All status badges are placed in the lib/signatures/status folder of your phpVMS install.
All badges are named as - pilot callsign - status.png (ex: ABC1001status.png)
example link: www.yoursite.com/lib/signatures/status/ABC1001status.png
There is also a default status badge screen that shows all the status badges for the active pilots of the VA
example link: www.yoursite.com/index.php/Status

You can change the Online/Offline background images by replacing two files in the lib/signatures/status folder
online.png & offline.png
The font can be changed by changing the path to the font located in core/modules/Status/updatestatus.php on line 21.
$font = '../../../lib/fonts/tahoma.ttf';
The color of the font can be changed by changing the color RGB code located in core/modules/Status/updatestatus.php on lines 41 & 59.
$color = imagecolorallocate($status_img, 0, 45, 98);
