flare's Issues

Uncollapse Operation Dropdown when on an Operations Page

When on an admin operations page (ranks etc) the operations dropdown is still collapsed. Need to add some simple JS to open it on load.

Route Database Optimization

Many VAs have hundreds or thousands of routes, which would take a while to load (especially if not paginated). Pilots should be able to:

• View a Random Route
• Search Routes by Flight Time, Aircraft, Departure and Arrival
• Possible browse through a paginated list of routes.

Events System

Add the events system through integrate with VANet.

Aircraft status not changed when added

Aircraft status is not changed when added to the fleet via the admin panel.

Change tab title to include VA Name

Tab Title should have VA Name instead of callsign

Issue displaying News

Home page not being loaded due to bug in News.php file.

Fix array index error when no news articles

Cannot Login

Describe the issue

Unable to login after installation. Tried installing three times with different users and passwords. The login screen at /index.php just resets once credentials are submitted. No error messages appear.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Start install at /install/install.php. Follow instructions. Try logging in once completed.

Screenshots

Unify Sidebar Navigation

Currently the desktop navigation is included in each file, copy and paste style. Can we improve this by making it an include or putting it in a layout file?

Update System

Add ability to update Flare without messing with DB scripts or files. Will need some metadata to be included in each release. Should use GitHub API.

Dark Mode button doesn't work

No effect when clicking the dark mode button. Probably easier to just remove is as it relies on a script from the origin VGVACrew source that no longer exists.

Make Edit Staff Model run on JS

Edit Staff modals are done individually instead of via attributes and jQuery. Instead, use jQuery like the edit user modals. This will also fix #41

Change DB Loops

Currently looping through a DB Result is done via a while, constantly query the result set. This causes issues if another DB call is made during the loop due to a PDO gimmick. Instead, loops should foreach through the DB::query->results() set.

Fixed index issue when no PIREPs are found

ifuserid not updated upon setting up PIREPs

After setting up PIREPs, the ifuserid column is not updated

Rank Modal Doesn't Populate Correctly

Need to redo JS to populate then show

Can't Update Ranks

Forgot password feature

Add ability to reset password if forgotten.

Navbar not displayed in admin pages

AircraftID's are placed in wrong column on install

Aircraft Liveries Do Not Load

Describe the issue

When adding aircraft to fleet, liveries do not load for any aircraft selected.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Manage Fleet --> Add Aircraft

Screenshots

Filing a PIREP

Describe the issue

Unable to file a PIREP. Error message: "Error: There was an error connecting to VANet."

Steps to reproduce the issue

Go to file PIREP and fill out the form.

Screenshots

Routes page has ACARS Tab Title

Mobile Overflow

The following pages overflow horizontally on mobile device.

• Setup PIREPs
• Route Database
• User Management (sort of - some columns are hidden which makes it fit but there's no way to see those hidden details - suggest a modal)
• Staff Management (ditto)
• Recruitment
• Fleet
• Route Management

I suggest hiding some columns then adding modals to show all details

Add Statistics

Just putting it here so it's on record that it should be added ;)

Change Default Select Option to null value

In dropdowns all over Flare, the default option select actually has a value - select. Change from this:

<option>Select</option>

To this:

<option value="">Select</option>

PIREP Setup not working

Describe the issue

Unable to setup PIREPs by clicking on "I have spawned in on the casual server" (Update.php file does not work)

Steps to reproduce the issue

Left-hand sidebar > File PIREP > "I have spawned in on the casual server" > New tab opens with error 500

Applicant Can Log In

Describe the issue

Applicants can log in as pilots even before their applications are processed.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Filled out the application form as a prospective pilot. Tried to log in using the info entered in the form. Got the error message saying "you need to wait for your application to be processed" and when I tried to log in using my admin user, it logs in as the applicant. If I log out and log back in using the admin user, it works fine.

The screenshots was taken after filling out the application, failing to log in as the applicant, and then logging in with the admin credentials. Instead of the admin user, I get the applicant dashboard.

Screenshots

.bg-custom doesn't work

The .bg-custom css class shows a white background and white text

When you click the delete button and then "mark as inactive", the user remains active.

Steps to reproduce the issue

User Management --> Delete Button --> Mark as Inactive

Manage Ranks does not list ranks or allow editing of ranks. New ranks are added and shown elsewhere, though.

Describe the issue

Pilot Panel buttons (from "Pilot Home" to "ACARS") do not work on mobile.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Open website on mobile > Press on drop-down bar > pilot panel links do not work

Screenshots

Make Flight Number a String

Many VAs have multi-leg routes that are marked as 123A, 123B, etc. Flight Number should be a string to allow for this,

Add Transfer Hours/Flights to UI

They exist in the database, just need to add them to the admin UI

Manage Users Edit Button Background Missing

Describe the issue

Edit button looks invisible, although it is there. Seems like a simple CSS issue.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Go to Manage Users.

Screenshots

Email Pilots Available on Public Build

If you're only releasing this via Patreon it shouldn't be viewable at all in the public version

Edit Staff Member Join Date Missing

Describe the issue

Join date for staff members under Edit Staff is not editable and is not shown. Join date under Edit User is correctly displayed.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Created the user during installation.

Screenshots

Categorize All Admin Functions

Currently only Operations is under a dropdown, to make the design more unified could we categorize all admin menu items?

Hide Gold Functions on Silver

Only admins should be able to see that the VA needs to upgrade to access ACARS and extra stats. No need for the pilot to be able to see it, just hide menu item. If the pilot navigates directly, show an upgrade message.

No Edit Option For Fleet

Describe the issue

Cannot edit aircraft already added to fleet. If deletion is the only option, would it affect anything else if a modification needs to be made by deletion and re-adding?

Screenshots

User Edit Modal doesn't populate correctly

When editing a user, only the callsign field works

New Routes Not Listed

Describe the issue

Message says a new route is successfully added, but only the first ever added route shows up in the list.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Routes Management --> Add Route

Describe the issue

Flight time format is actually time format instead of duration.

Screenshots

Undefined index on PIREP page

Undefined index on PIREP page when no recent PIREPs are available.

Sentence Case Everywhere

Change to use sentence case (each word capitalized) everywhere

Make all Form Fields Requried

Currently, many for fields are using min="1" as their way of being required. However this does not work for all browsers. Instead, the required attribute should be used.

Colour themeing

Add ability to select main colour theme, this can be changed at any time

No button to submit ACARS

Describe the issue

As per the instructions, there should be a button to submit the ACARS flight but there is no button.

Steps to reproduce the issue
