Changing the Aircraft Details popup window

[bones]

This thread replaces the Next Challenge thread. This earlier thread covered code for both Spider and Snoopy and also included many posts on the evolving process of adding pictures (or links to pictures) in the Aircraft Details box. This thread is specifically for Snoopy version 1.1.1.110 or later.

Changing the Aircraft Details window

The Aircraft Details box is created from the basestation.xsl file in the UserData folder. It is basic XML code and this allows users to add, modify and adapt the code for individual requirements. In the screenshot below the code has been changed to add pictures, links to other aviation sites, airline logos and route information.

Everyone has different ideas about presentation so many variants of the Aircraft Details box have evolved. This thread allows users who have made changes to post their code (along with a screenshot) so that other users can choose a display to their liking.

Submitting Designs

Users who have made code changes and wish to post them here should:

a) Place their code in a Code block in the post using the Code button (next to the Quote button). Ensure that the Disable BBCode box is NOT ticked.

b) Include a screenshot of the Aircraft Details box only (not your whole BaseStation display!) like this:



c) Explain in the post any code that may need modifying by end users (such as links to pictures on a hard drive).

Using modified Code

For users wishing to alter their Aircraft Details window please read the next bit carefully.

The layout of the Aircraft Details box is contained in the basestation.xsl file in the UserData folder. To make the changes you have to open this file and replace the code it contains with an example that you may prefer from the choices further in this thread. To repeat what was said in the earlier thread do not attempt this if you have no experience in opening and editing files - and always back up your XSL file before attempting any changes.

Look at the posts below and pick the screenshot best suited to your needs. Copy the included code to your basestation.XSL file (replacing the existing content) and save.

Do not try and modify any code unless you are familiar with XML syntax.

Important

As with any changes to default Kinetic files you make the above changes at your own risk. It is essential that you keep a backup of your original basestation.xsl file.

Please also read this post from Kinetic regarding this type of change - http://www.kinetic-avionics.co.uk/forum ... php?t=2281

Finally I would like to recognise both Bumpy and Dave Reid who started this whole process going in the Next Challenge thread.

To start the thread rolling here is a screenshot of my Aircraft Details window.



The values in the top pale blue section (yours may be yellow but you can change this in Display Settings) are part of the BaseStation window and these cannot be changed.

The first user section shows two aircraft pictures - in my case these are both taken from my hard drive rather than from a link to an external web site. This option is only suitable for users with their own photo collection. If you don't have this I would suggest you look at further examples posted here with code that links to external aviation sites.

The second Aircraft Data section shows eight values in two columns - Mode S code, Registration, Serial No, Country, Callsign, Type, ICAO Code and Operator.

The third section is a Route field but this will only work if you are running either the Flight Display or Aircraft Display programs - see the forum Resources section for details.

The fourth section shows the airline logo and the country flag. The airline logo is triggered by the aircraft callsign as we cannot use the OprFlagCode in the XSL.

The fifth section shows several links to useful web pages.

The final section is the User Notes data from the SQB database. In the screenshot this is red but the code given below will give a blue section. Colour can be changed but this needs a modification to the Basestation.CSS file.

The code for the above display is as follows but read the notes at the end of this thread for changes you may need to make.

Notes:
The picture links are to GIF files stored on my hard drive at C:\Kinetic\Pictures. You may need to change the path to your own picture storage folder.

The code expects each picture to have a filename of registration.gif or registration-1.gif e.g. G-THOM.gif and G-THOM-1.gif. If you use JPG files change the code suffix to show this.

The code does not allow a mixture of jpg and gif files - you must exclusively use on or the other.

[SabreJV]

As Bones has noted, my preference is not to display the pictures directly but to have links to the various websites, the links will open in a new window. I also have a link to try and look up the callsign from the FlyteComm site, don't expect all callsigns to retrieve information.



As the code has evolved so the popup now has additional links to get registration lookups from UK CAA g-info site for G- registered aircraft and from the FAA Registry for N registered aircraft. Basestation is passing the reg or callsign to the website so if its not in the expected format, for example has additional characters such as '!' or '?' as part of the registration you will not get any info back. Also trying to lookup say F- marks on the CAA site will not work.

The code to generate the Aircraft Details popup shown above is....

It would be possible to combine sections of code from both Bones' and my versions to create a composite of both. I'll leave you to experiment however please do take note of the Important section in the first post of this thread.

Finally I too thank Bones, Dave Reid, Bumpy and others who set me off down this path as without the push to find an answer, I certainly would not have learned some basics of xml/xsl

cheers

[seca]

Thanks for the great code guys,,,would it be poss for a a couple of links to airframes to search via reg or hexcode.
Would be cool
Thanks again guys

great idea bones

thanks to sabre and bones and others...

greetzzz johan

[Mr Phil]

This is absolutley brilliant you guys
im'e trying to get one of my fellow radio hams to buy an SBS-1 and he used to be an ATC down heathrow, and has an interest in it . He has a photo data base coz he uses wacars , pcfhdl and some other thing I cant remember the name of at the mo , (I bet he will read this later.. )
im'e going to put the code in and put it on the laptop and show him next club meet..
regards to all those who made it happen.
Mr Phil

Now where can I get all those plane piccys ? Mr bones (Pretty please) :wink:

[bones]

If your friend is ex ATC Heathrow ask him to write to me if he wants more technical information. It is possible our paths may have crossed.

If you link to one of the major web sites like airliners.net you can have a picture in your Aircraft Details box without the need to store it on your PC. The only disadvantage to this is if the source site is down or suffering high load.

Pictures on your hard drive overcomes this problem and gives fast reaction times - but be prepared for a huge amount of storage space - about 170Mb per 10,000 pictures. I can't oblige with releasing my own collection owing to copyright restrictions. Sorry.

[proflight2000]

Yep totally agree this is great to have the codes for different set ups. However, does anyone fancy a royalty free picture exchange?? mainly sharing what photos we have taken ourselves. One of my hobbies is photographing the aircraft I see, over 300 pictures taken this saturday at manchester airport.

Even if the pictures were fed into a main folder within the site, this would aid people getting them royalty free as airliners.net is a superb resource but requires (and quite rightly so) authority from the owners to use them.

Just a thought anyway

[AJ]

I would be happy to upload my altered version of the Aircraft Details Window, to add to Bones' and Sabre JV's versions. (Also to provide a frame shot, and include the code).
Trouble is.. I don't know how to.
Help for an upload Dummy always appreciated.

Johan,
Thanks for the pointer.

For information...
For personal preference, my pictures are stored on the hard drive. Store them wherever you like.

Hey Bones, ...That's cheating....!!!
Amalgamating my posts.!!

MOD - True but four posts on one subject was a bit excessive. I'm trying to keep this thread compact.

It's tidier though. Thanks.

Yes, it is.

We're not married are we...
Her Majesty nicks my newspapers and throws them away two seconds after I put them down. ... Calll me untidy.... .

[proflight2000]
