Will this work with VB 3.8.4 ?

[Vitaly]

yes

It isn't clear for which member(s) this works. Does it works if someone send a PM to admins, moderators, any staff member?

Yes. You should select those groups in ACP mod config. Then every member of those groups will be able to setup personal warning (see screenshot). Like "Read forum rules, prior to ask", "Please, see our knowlegs base befor asking" and other bullshit :)

When user try to send PM for such stuff member, he will see warning and text "please press button again if you are really shure".

[Alfa1]

Great. This will reduce workload as well. Thanks once again.

[LEGS]

yes

Thank you Vitaly. Downloaded and Installed.

There is a conflict with custom prefixes. If a board has custom DB prefixes, this will result in a database error if people try to send a PM to staff members.

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.3:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT `lasttime`
FROM vb6_`pmwarninglasttime`
WHERE
`userid` = 73014 AND `recipientid` = 1
AND `lasttime` > 1263582318;

[Vitaly]

Please, check if attached file fixes reported bug.

[BigBass]

Let me know when this bug is fixed, It looks like something i can really use!

[xorex]

I has sent two issues on github

Так же хотелось бы иметь возможность указывать отдельных пользователей кто может использовать предупреждения, потому что не всегда нужно давать всем пользователям из всей группы возможность использовать эту функцию.

[matthewhotdude]

Ive set the message but it's not showing up to anyone

My users get this error when they register:

Fatal error: Call to a member function clean_gpc() on a non object in /public_html/forum/includes/class_dm_user.php(2956) : eval()'d code on line 18 line 2956 of class_dm_user.php is:
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('private_insertpm_proces s')) ? eval($hook) : false; Your plugin named 'Get warning message' uses the hook private_insertpm_process.

Could you check what causes this problem with line 18 of this plugin?

[Vitaly]

Will check tommorow. Do you have autosend welcome PM after registration ? If yes, is it via vB standard feature or some mod?

[Alfa1]

I have the standard autosend welcome PM active.

[Vitaly]

Please, check if attached file helps.

[Alfa1]

This seemed to have done the trick. I am receiving no more complaints about errors. Thank you!

[Alfa1]

Which is the latest version: the 0.4 version, or the one you posted above?
Could you post a changelog?

[Vitaly]

I've updated product to one from last post. It's the latest version for vb3.8 and no longer developped. All next changes are for vb4.0 only, in appropriate topic.

[Ghostt]

is it possible to set up a standartwarning for all usergroups selcted?
would be a great improve. spasibo!

[Alfa1]

This version still shows as version 7, while my adminCP shows a newer version (8) is available.

[Vitaly]

Next version is for vb 4.0. Don't use it.

[Ghostt]

but we need a working one for 3.8 isnt it possible to do this feature i ve suggest? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2079713&postcount=24

[Vitaly]

Ghostt, this mod is working. If features set doesn't satisfy your needs - I can't help. First, because i don't develop mods for 3.8 branch anymore. Second, because i'm limited in time, to accept custom request.

This code is marked as reuseable. Try to find someone else, who can make modifications for you.
