• If you try to use latest phpvms with an old version of this addon, it will fail.
• If you try to use your duplicated old blades with this version without checking and applying necessary changes, it will fail.

Same folder structure is used with phpvms v7, so if you have a default installation for it then installing the theme will take only seconds.
Just extract the zip file at the root folder of your phpvms v7 installation and select the template from admin section.

If you want to manually upload the files or have a modified installation of phpvms please follow the instructions below;

• Contents of public\image should be placed in your phpvms public folder.
• Contents of public\disposable should be placed in your phpvms public folder.
• Contents of resources\lang folder should be placed under your phpvms resources\lang folder.
• Contents of resources\views\layouts folder should be placed under your phpvms resources\views\layouts folder.

According to your installation, public folder may be public or public_html or something else configured via your hosting control panel.

Below you can find some details about the theme, customization of it and some minor technical info about duplication.

• Just create a new folder under your resources\views\layouts\ folder and name it MyTheme
• Copy the theme.json file from Disposable_v3 folder to this folder.
• Edit this file as below (only first two lines are shown to save space);

"name"    : "MyTheme",        // Theme Name (and also the folder name)
"extends" : "Disposable_v3",  // Here we tell Laravel that we are extending Disposable_v3 theme

• Now copy any file you want to edit/change from Disposable_v3 folder to your MyTheme folder, for example take home.blade.php
• From this moment on, if you switch to MyTheme from admin settings, this clone theme will be active and its contents will be used
• For the rest, non-modified files, Disposable_v3 theme contents will be used

Technically you can copy any number of files to your new/duplicated theme. Just keep the file names and file paths intact, editing contents of the files is up to you.

• CSS, Stylesheet files are located under /public/disposable/stylesheet/ folder.

There are two stylesheet files provided with the main package, one for general usage and holds all required styles in it theme_v3.css,
Second one is for dark mode conversion and technically should hold only the items you want to change in a dark-theme theme_v3_darkmode.css

Unless really necessary for technical reasons, no hard coded style tags used in theme blades. So you can configure perrty much everything via css files.

You can simply define your own custom default gravatar for pilots. Just edit your env.php file and add below lines to the end of it

# GRAVATAR DEFAULT
GRAVATAR_DEFAULT_AVATAR='https://your.phpvms.url.comes.here/disposable/nophoto.jpg'

Edit your duplicated app.blade.php and add below line to the head section

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="{{ public_asset('/disposable/your_airline_icon_file.png') }}"/>

This can be achieved in two ways, either you need to change the image files provided in the package theme_logo.png and theme_logo_big.png or you need to edit blade files to use your own paths for your logos (preferred way)

Files holding logo definitions are nav_side.blade.php, nav_top.blade.php and nav_menu.blade.php

Both SideBar and NavBar uses the same file for menu items nav_menu.blade.php
nav_menu.blade.php also holds the new language switching dropdown

There are some options defined in this file for quick settings or for pre-defined features to be enabled/disabled easily without editing blade files.

As this is really an optional feature and the system itself is too old, it is provided only for VA's already using it. You should define your IVAO approved Airline ID and Airline ICAO code at theme.json file for the auto placed badges to show up.

Below you can find an example, it checks if you have necessary definitions at theme.json and includes the file. Which will have a visible badge/button, when clicked it will open up a modal window for the pilot to send the report.

@if(Theme::getSetting('gen_ivao_vaid') && Theme::getSetting('gen_ivao_icao'))
  @include('pireps.ivao_vasys')
@endif

Be advised, IVAO's login cookies do not work properly even if you click "Remember Me". This is the reason of that "Login IVAO" button placed in the modal. It is higly advised that pilots click that button first, complete their login to IVAO, which will send them back to your VA, then click the "Send Report" button.

Here is an answer from IVAO Official Wiki about VA System usage

Do the pilots need to report their flights? 

Currently, the VA System is withdrawn, and not to be used anymore. The new VA system should be back alive in 2021. In the meantime, as we have no backup solution, no flight reporting is asked to pilots. 

As per the license, theme name should be always visible in all pages. Editing the footer is still possible but Disposable link SHOULD BE always visible.

If you need more space in footer area, kindly check theme stylesheet to add yourself some space 'cause it is really limited with a small area and always placed at the bottom.
