Changes to airliners.net and lookups from Basestation Aircraft Details Window.

[Keef]

Hi all,

I don't know if anyone has encountered the same issue as I have, but it seems that due to changes at airliners.net the syntax in the basestation.xsl is no longer generating a valid URL.

I've had a bit of a play and may have a solution (well it seems to work for me!).
I'm not that confident with xsl so what I've produced may not be the neatest or best way so try at your own risk...

Always make a backup copy of the original file, that way if something undesirable happens as a result of tinkering you can easily roll back.

In the \Basestation\UserData folder there will be a file named basestation.xsl, this is used to generate the Aircraft Details window when an aircraft is selected from the list.

In my xsl file I have a section for lookups on airframes.org, you might not have this, but if you do and it's not working here's what I did to fix it.

Original statement:

<a href="http://airliners.net/search/photo.search?sort_order=photo_id%20DESC&amp;first_this_page=0&amp;page_limit=30&amp;&amp;regsearch={//regdata/registration}&amp;thumbnails=noinfo" target="new">

Which I have replaced with:

<a href="http://airliners.net/search?keywords={//regdata/registration}&amp;sortBy=id&amp;sortOrder=desc&amp;perPage=24&amp;display=card" target="new">

Hope this helps, and if anyone spots a mistake in what I've done feel free to correct me
