There are several ways to include pictures or links to your Aircraft Details window.
1. You can add links to the more popular aviation web sites.
2. You can add pictures that are links from the above.
3. You can add pictures directly from your hard drive (if you have a collection to use).

Has anyone code that works as 2. above. ie. actually downloads an image and puts it in the Aircraft Details window?
I have have been using code to bring up images from the limited number I have on my hard drive (modified code from Bones) and also links to the var pic sites to show images in a seperat browser page, but I am struggleing to get any further.

Have a look through the Next Challenge thread that started this off as I think a few examples exist in there.

Ignore any references to triggers though - these are no longer necessary in the latest Snoopy version.

A couple of variations:

Maybe a bit too minimalist for some so how about this?

The code for the second example is as follows. Note that the picture link is to a picture on the users hard drive. If you want a direct link to an online source you will need to replace the picture code line.

Very Nice

One problem.

When the XSL code is pasted onto the forum I have noticed (a bit late) that format is lost. For most lines this isn't important but some users like to align the data for a neater appearance.

The posted code strips out extra spaces and this results in a line like:

<span class="entrycaption">Type : </span>

instead of
<span class="entrycaption">Type : -------- </span>
where the dashes equate to extra spaces.

Once you paste code you may therefore have to add extra spaces if you want the columns to line up neatly. The bad news is that a normal space won't work - you have to use ASCII 255 to insert a space. It doesn't look any different but it works.

Any takers?

You knew how to to do it all along.... :wink:

No I didn't - I hate fiddling with XML. It took me all morning to sort it out..

Any resident XML wizard would have sorted it in a few minutes..

I've always wondered what the purpose of the code tag was in BBCode, because it seemed to be functionally identical to the quote tag. But having read your post I thought, "I wonder", and tried a quick test...

And the result is... It preserves spaces!

Code: Select all: <span class="entrycaption">Type : </span> instead of <span class="entrycaption">Type : </span>

<span class="entrycaption">Type : </span>

instead of
<span class="entrycaption">Type : </span>

That's exactly the same text in each one, but the quote dumps the spaces and the code doesn't. So I'd recommend putting all xsl code examples in code tags.

Thanks Will. In that case let me try again. Same code but formatting should be correct:

Well done Bones..

hi out there!

where can i get plane thumbs in one bunch. it takes very much time to
save it one by one ...

please help!

by **Faramir** » January 5th, 2007, 9:23 am

It is quite big, but I've got an archive of nearly 27.000 thumbs of roughly 9000 different aircraft. Archive is a bit ove 200 Megs. If you can give me a place to upload it, you're in business...

I use JACARS2 (can't remember the web address, do a Google search) which is a free on-line ACARS decoder which automatically save the aircraft thumbnail pictures to hard drive. It gets the pictures from one of the on-line aircraft photo sites as the ACARS signal is received by the on-line server, so it doesn't get all the pictures at once but it does get them in real time. You have to make the appropriate changes to the xsl file to point the the directory with the pictures. It works a treat, depending on which ACARS server you select. I only select the UK servers so the ACARS reports and pictures roughly reflect what I am likely to pick up on the SBS (not much point in getting pictures for aircraft on the other side of the world).

Having managed to find time to upgrade to Snoopy (glad I did), I've been following various threads and can now link to numerous sites using the Aircraft Details window.

Having managed to link and look up flights using FlyteComm, I would like to have a similar link to Aeroseek.

I can get the link to work but can't get the flight number to populate the search box and get a result.

My basetstation.xsl line reads:

http://www.aeroseek.com/webtrax/fboweb. ... flight_id={//currentflight/callsign}

Has anyone managed to do this or can spot my error?

Thanks.
