Warning Hack V1.5 [Archive]

Zero Tolerance

05-19-2004, 10:00 PM

Version 1.5 Note: You must have v1 installed to upgrade, the upgrade process is small so there was no need to write out a fresh install.

It has come to my attention that a "decent" warning system isn't available here on vbulletin.org, which is quite a shame, and because forums like mine, and probably yours need a simple yet advanced warning system to keep things under wraps

Anyway, i thought i might aswell release what i made, prior to me getting off my ass... lol

Administration Features:
View Warning Logs
- Displays all warnings, warned user, warned by, link to the warned post, date, warning type, and the comment specified when the warning was given, and a remove warning link
(Remove will remove the log and also put the members warning level back down in accordance to how much it was increased by the selected warning removed)
Unban Banned Members
- A simple page that you should visit every few days, it will automatically ban any auto banned users by the warning system where there ban time has expired
Warning Options
- Here you can set the following:
-- Number of warn points before member is auto banned
-- Number of days a member is auto banned for
-- View Warnign Types
-- Add Warning Type
-- Add warning type has the following fields:
---- Name/Description/Warn Points Given

Forum Features:
Every post has "Warn [Name]" and "View [Names] Warnings"
These are only accessiable by a member group which is allowed to "moderate" (Moderating groups are auto detected)
Clicking the Warn link will bring you to a page where you view the user your warning, a link to review the warned post, members current warning level, and below the warning types, has a drop down menu to select the warning type, and a text field to put your comment for why this warning is been issued
Upon completing the warning form, the warned user will be Pm'ed from the person who warned them, with the comment put down and a link to the post

View Warnings link will display logs of only that specified user's warnings, the same features as the admin cp warning logs, only just for this user

Members can access only 1 page of the warning system, which is "View My Warnings", this link is added to the quick links drop down menu
Here they simple view there warnings, just like a moderator would, only without the remove warning link ;)

V1.5 Features:
Protectable Usergroups:
No user's in these defined groups can be warned, or banned.
Root Admin Force Protection:
Userid 1 cannot be warned, canned be banned, this is not optional, this is forced for security.
New Unban Members Set Up:
Now displays all currently banned user's, what time they were banned, what time they are supposed to be unbanned. You may unban the user even if there time has not expired (You will be notificed if they have not served the time issued upon ban, but not stopped). Upon unbanning, you choose the members 'new' warning level and the user's usergroup to move them into
Set banned usergroup:
You can now easily choose from a drop down menu which usergroup user's are sent to if after been warned they are banned.

V1.5 Bug Fixes:
- User locations in 'Users online' shown as unknown if they are warning/viewing warnings (Priority: Medium)
- Unban members system renovated and now fully works (Priotity: Maximum)
- No mysql errors upon sending a pm if the PM table had been altered (Priotity: Maximum)
- New protectable usergroups to stop any group of your choice been banned (Priotity: Maximum)
- Last time visited didn't appear when error page occured (Priotity: Low)
- Un-used global in PM function (Priority: Low)

I hope you enjoy the system, my staff teamare very pleased with it and find it of great use, enjoy the hack

one last thing. I have it set to ban my users for 5 days, but when I go to view banned users, it says permenent, and when I use the Unban Banned Users function, it doesn't unban the user who was banned as a result of the warning system

Vivi Ornitier

05-20-2004, 11:19 PM

this is just like gforce's good old hack, thanx heaps ZT.

I was wonderin if you could display the warning level on the postbit, you know how i like to do things lol. Muhc quicker to reference the points if you can just see it from the thread. thx heaps for it. Can you make it so members can view warnings but not warn? It's kinda pointless if the members can't see where they are on the wraning scale and all start +++++ing when they are banned.

Edit: I got a database error when issuing a warning.

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.0:

Invalid SQL: insert into pmtext values ('','1','deathscythehell','You have been warned','You have been warned for the post: Your Post (http://forums.squareultima.com/showthread.php?p=297358).

Error on Pm input? Then you have modified the table structure, but no worries, that can be, shall we say, rectified

Find:
$DB->query("insert into ".TABLE_PREFIX."pmtext values ('{$from['userid']}','".addslashes($from['username'])."','{$title}','{$message}','".addslashes(serialize($to_string))."','4','{$now}','1','1')");

Change To:
$DB->query("insert into ".TABLE_PREFIX."pmtext (fromuserid,fromusername,title,message,touserarray ,iconid,dateline,showsignature,allowsmilie) values ('{$from['userid']}','".addslashes($from['username'])."','{$title}','{$message}','".addslashes(serialize($to_string))."','4','{$now}','1','1')");

Screen shots, ill put them in my main post tomorrow

As for unbanning, it only unbans those "auto" banned by the system, and running the unbaned users only unbans those past the time lmit specified when they were banned

Cool, I'll install this tonight and tell you my results.

Oook, I tested this on my test dumby and it works great and all, buuuuut, one small thing.

He doesn't get auto banned. I might of missed something, but once it reaches 5, it stays at five and test (my dumby account) can still post and everything.

EDIT: Ok, I fixed that problem. The thing is usergroup 8 were my RPG Moderators so they were being moved there. I edited warn.php.

$DB->query("update ".TABLE_PREFIX."user set usergroupid='8',warning_level='{$level}' where userid='{$user['userid']}'");

The 8, you change it to any number you want the banned users to be in.

Now, when I click the unban button... they don't move them back to the registered group.

My only Problem, is that Only Admins and Moderators can view the user warnings. I want tha all the users to see it, and all other users (no admin or moderators) are getting the No permission screen :squareeyed:

Help please !

Very nice hack!

A good addition might be if you put in two values. E.g. 5 Warnings -> user is banned for 14 days and ~15 Warnings -> User is permanently banned.

oops just reread the idea
yeh thats a great idea

ie after 5 warnings they get a temporary ban and after 10 warnings a permenant ban
thats an excellent idea

Having the warnings viewable by the user (all) would make this into an awesome hack for me. Thanks for your coding!

is there a way to display the warning level to all users in the postbit and profile?

msimplay

05-21-2004, 01:46 PM

i think all the suggestions so far were options in the old vb2 hacks

with the exception of the idea in this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=514534&postcount=25)

Zero Tolerance

05-21-2004, 02:32 PM

If you want members to be able to view others warnings, please make this edit within Warn.php

Find:
if($_GET['do']!='ViewMyWarnings'){
if(!can_moderate( )){
print_no_permission( );
}
}

Replace With:
if($_GET['do']!='ViewMyWarnings' && $_GET['do']!='ViewWarnings'){
if(!can_moderate( )){
print_no_permission( );
}
}

This will result in members seeing the remove link, but they will not have access to use it

Var for warning level in posts?
$post[warning_level]
Simply use that in template postbit or postbit_legacy

Nice suggestions so far, ill include them in version 1.5, keep em coming

So far, from what I can gather, you're still in the process of updating it. (that's the 'vibe' I'm getting from the replies) Also, I am waiting in hopes that you add the warning points level on the postbit, as on vB2 it was awesome to see and let others see. Saves some hassle.

same for the next usergroup (supermod, who evere and so on)

msimplay

05-30-2004, 05:54 PM

hey gotta say i installed this today and its absolutely excellent but its missing a few of things to make it how i'd like

the ability to make custom warnings from the warn menu ie amount of points given and reason

would like it so that staff cannot be warned as i like to keep staff dealings to the staff forum
because if the unity doesn't show within the forum forum staff then it looks bad

3rd thing would be the second setting ie after 5 warnings i have set it to temp ban
however i would like it so that it bans permenantly after say 10 warnings

4th would be u can specify which usergroup or groups are banned users

5th a redirect back to the post being warned after warning the user

6th expirable warnings because everyone makes mistakes from time to time and its not really fair if the person made the warning a year ago and suddenly he gets banned a year later coz the old warnings were not removed
also make it a user option relating to the custom warnings outlined in my earlier suggestion ie user option that warnings are expirable or permenant
user ie moderator / admin panel

make the description bit bigger on the warnings and make html available for the admin for the warning description

hope the new version comes out soon :o

I didn't want to edit my navbar, so I did it so normal members can also view warnings of others. The Remove warning link isn't there. I also edited my "Warn Links". That code at top is what I have, and it comes out like this if you are in that particular group.

[Current Warning Level: 0/30 - Warn Cowie - View Cowie's Warnings]

If you aren't in that group, it shows up like this.

I had to change the banned usergroup from 8 - no biggie really but might want to higlight that in the install instructions to check the banned usergroup ID :)

Suggestion pretty much like everyone else really - would love to see time expiration on certain bans so that after say 30 days the warning automatically removes, cumulative banning procedures, like if banned for 15 days automatically when they return - if they reach say half the amount of points - they become permenantly banned..
Perhaps an option to specify permenant as well as time lapsed ?

All in all - a great addtion to my forum - so you have my thanks :)

Sorry this Hack is a Security Hole it self !

Mods can bann Admin, Co-Admins can bann the Admin too - even the ID File is locked.

Please fix or add this as a security fix.

After i banned my with a test Adminaccount is still can´t access the AdminCP after i unbanned me !

So my wife (witch is a Admin too) trys to unlock me and set me back to the Adminstatus. But this is impossible beacuse my User is saved by $undeletetableusers in config.php.

What the hell can happen if someone banns us both ?

@Mamochka, your modification is still buggy. All you did was edit the templates for postbit. I did a test on it. It does hide the warning links for people who cannot warn, but if a mod knows the url to warn, and knows the admins userid, they can still ban them! Overall, nice hack, but I think its security needs reconsidering.

If i Warn a user an he has reach the Bann-Warnpoits, the Hack dount move the user to a banned group. The user always can use the Forum :(
we had that problem too. Turned out it was because only their primary group is changed (we have a temp fan usergroup), so, if they had a subgroup that let them in more places, they could still post where we didn't want them to.

dunno if it helps or not, but I guess what I'm getting at is, check for subgroups on that person

Great Job !!

But one question.

At my Forum is Warn Level 10 = 1 Day Bann

If I warn a user and he has reach Level 10/10 he was banned for 1 day.
But if I warn him into this bantime the Level does not go for example to 15/10 etc. So if he reach for example 20/10 he banned 2 Days. Ist there a way to do this.

now is it so, if i warn a user and he reach level 10/10 an i ban him into the Bantime again and again the hack makes for the Same juser more and more reason.

1:
User: tester
Time banned: 21:59 13-07-2004
Time To Be Unbanned: 21:59 14-07-2004

2:
User: tester
Time banned: 22:05 13-07-2004
Time To Be Unbanned: 22:502 14-07-2004

but i wish, that he add the secound bann tho the first so he has 2 Day Ban instead og 1.

Sorry for bad English :)

Zero Tolerance

07-13-2004, 07:32 PM

The system was set up so the warning level cannot go over the limit, so if a user has 9/10 and you warn them 3 points, it will only go to 10/10 (Otherwise that would be a bug)

What your asking could be done but then others may not want as say you give them 12/10 and they get banned for 17 days where normall people get 15/16 days banned. I feel it would be unfair aspecially when it may be done by accident from a mod because they didn't know of this feature therefor that user is banned longer than they should be.

However, in version 2 there will be admin controllable ban length's, and upon been warned if they are to be banned for exceeding the warning limit then a moderator may choose a suitable ban time length.

Hope that will be sufficient for your needs, i feel it would be better :)

One suggestion:
Some sort of system so that different admins/mods can't warn a user for the same post.

One minor gripe/possible bug:
When users are put into the banned usergroup, they don't take on the look of that usergroup (i.e. name color, custom title, etc).

Otherwise a great hack though!

I like the first idea, ill include that in Version 2.

As for the member inherriting from the new usergroup, exactly what parts would you like them to inherrit and what parts do you want to stay? :)

- Zero ToleranceI definately want them to take on the name color of the banned usergroup and the pre defined custom title that the banned group has. It seems that when you move a user to a different usergroup, this would happen automatically, but I suppose it is something that has to be coded.

07-15-2004, 11:00 AM

Having two problems with the script that I was hoping someone could help me out with.

First one is that I am using this code in postbit for admins only to be able to view everything
<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6 AND can_moderate($forum[forumid], '', $bbuserinfo[userid])">Current Warning Level: $post[warning_level]/30 ? <a href='Warn.php?do=WarnUser&id=$post[userid]&post=$post[postid]'>Warn $post[musername]</a> ? <a href='Warn.php?do=ViewWarnings&id=$post[userid]'>View $post[musername]'s Warnings</a> ?</if>

That works brilliantly and looks nice, so people are welcome to use that. Only thing is that is appearing in the postbit for the private messages aswell when it shouldnt be.

It shouldnt be appearing because this script does not support private message reporting if you know what I mean.

Secondly. Is there a way to format the pm it sends out. I was thinking of something like.

Dear {user},

This private message is to inform you that your warning points have increased to {totalpoints}. This is in regard to a post made by yourself here.

Regards,
{warner}

Obviously it needs more info like what the "warner" said, and info about the maximum amount etc etc.

I took a look in Warn.php but the way its setup is does not support formatting. Any ideas?

Is there a timelimit on warning points? Theres no need for warning points to stick around for a year or two.

I don't beleive this is an option at the moment, I think it comes with v2.

But its deffinetly possible to add it into the current version

Moderate can give warn to user?

sv1cec

07-21-2004, 07:33 AM

I just installed the original hack and the 1.5 upgrade, and for the moment, I have one small problem.

When I add a warning to a user, the drop-down menu from which one selects the warning to be applied, is too small to properly show the letters in the box.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2004/07/1.jpg

I tried to figure out how to change that, but I am not good at this thing. So, I just replaced class="bginput" with class="smallfont" and it shows OK, but is this proper?

Also, the PM send to the user seems wierd. I believe that both the Warning Selection (Spamming) should be shown, as well as the moderator Comments (whatever additional comments the mod wants to write). See picture below

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2004/07/2.jpg

The strange characters is because I wrote "Don't do that again", the apostrophe seems to create havoc.

Another question. I have modified my postbit and postbit_legacy to show the Warnings Level of each poster. I would like to have there some thing like :

Warnings Level : 5/20

I tried to include something like :

$user[warning_level] / $warn_options[points_before_banned]

but it shows only :

Warnings Level : 5/

without the points_before_banned. Is that because that variable is not a global variable? How can I add it?

Could you please help?

Finally, I'll be adding another post below, with things I would like to see in this hack, after discussing it with my moderators and experimenting with it for a while.

Tnx for a nice hack, clicking install.

Hello i had v1.0 on my site and i just recently today upgraded to the new version.

But before i upgraded and even with the new upgrade a normal registered user is able to see the warn info in post on the forums.

I am not very familiar with any of the coding etc i just follw directions i did every as said for the v1.0 and also everything for the new upgrade but it still shows for a normal registered user that has no mod access.

Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction to try and correct this problem.

Thank You
How exactly do you want this handled?

The code below will show the "Warn Username" only to the moderators of a particular forum and the administrator. It will show "View Username warnings" to all moderators and the administrator. If you have more than one administrators, you need to play with the last if, let me know if you need help.

Use it at your own risk, I am not exactly an expert in this thing:

In postbit template, find

<if condition="$show['postcount']">#<a

Above that, insert the code below, instead of the code suggested in the hack.


<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6 AND can_moderate($forum[forumid], '', $bbuserinfo[userid])"><a href='Warn.php?do=WarnUser&id=$post[userid]&post=$post[postid]'>Warn $post[username]</a> ?
</if>
<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6 AND $bbuserinfo[groupid] == 7">
<a href='Warn.php?do=ViewWarnings&id=$post[userid]'>View $post[username]'s Warnings</a> ?</if>
<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6 AND $bbuserinfo[userid] == 1">
<a href='Warn.php?do=ViewWarnings&id=$post[userid]'>View $post[username]'s Warnings</a> ?</if>


I hope this is what you want.

Zero Tolerance,

As I ... promised above, here is the outcome of our experiments with the hack and the discussion with our moderators:

First of all, the hack is great and we all think it is a great addition to any forum. In the interest of seeing this hack becoming even better, we would like to see the following improvements, which will make the mods and admins life easier:

1. Each offence should have a points rating (as it does now), but should also include a "maturity" period. In other words, a period after which the points will automatically be removed from the user's record.
2. Each offence should have a check-box, which will define it as an "Instant Ban" offence. In that way, each forum can decide which offences carry the heavy penalty, of instant banning the member.
3. Each offence which is an "Instant Ban" offence, should also have a "Ban Duration" field. In that way, the admins can decide that offence A deserves a ban, but only for one month, while offence B is serious enough to deserve a permanent ban. So I assume the "Ban Duration" should accept values in days/weeks/months (whatever) plus the word "Permanent". A drop-down menu with 1,2,3,4 weeks, 1,2,3,4,5,6 months, and Permanent values, maybe.
4. Of course, cron jobs should exist, which will remove the points which mature from the member's record, and the bans which expire, automatically.
5. We would appreciate if the PM message could be in a more "customizable" format, so that we can tailor it to our needs. A template maybe?
6. The phrases and params used, should made "global" so that they can be used anywhere in the vB. For example, I have the Warn Points of each user shown in postbit, but I cannot use the "$warn_options[points_before_banned]" there.
7. In the hack's setup (in Admin CP), the admin should be able to define which groups will be able to see the "Warn User" and "View User's Warnings" links. For example, in our site, I have set it up so moderators can warn a user only in the forums they moderate, but they can see every user warnings. Registered users can see the Warnings of other users, as a number only in the forumbit, they cannot see the "Warn XYZ" or the "View XYZ's Warnings" links, so obviously they cannot warn anyone, nor can they see details of how that member earned those points.
8. In the PM send to the user, we would like to see the followings:

- Who warned the member.
- For which post (it might be a good idea if the post could be copied in the offence's record, since the moderator might want to remove it from the forums. Of course, the moderator has to first warn the member and then delete or edit the post).
- Date and time.
- What the offence was (the description of the warning).
- How many points were awarded and what is the current total of the member.
- When these points will be removed.
- If the offence implied an "Instant Ban" and for how long.
- What comments the moderator has added.
- The e-mail of the admin or the super moderator, if the user has objections.

I guess this is pretty much what we would like to see in this excellent hack.

Finally, one other issue, for some reason, the redirecting screen does not always redirect. I am not sure what happens, but that page does not come up like any other redirecting page in vB, it comes up with header and navbar etc. and it just doesn't redirect. Any ideas?

Kind regards, and again thanks for the lovely hack.

They're both on the first post. The .zip that doesn't have a version is 1.0

Zero Tolerance, you've done an excellent job with this hack. Only things that would make this flawless would be an option/template/phrase to edit the PM message and also a fix to the aforesaid "dropdown" box problem with the font being too big.

But, 'nuff said. Excellent hack. :D

Also, another issue I found. For some reason the warnings links only work in one template vs. all. It's not the parent template either. If you use it from any other template you simply get a blank page.
What do you mean?

I just finished the final tweaks, and it works OK for me, but admitedly, I had to do a lot of changes to make it behave as I like.

As for which group the banned users are put back in, I assume in Registered Users. I haven't banned anyone yet! :-)

You will in the next release (any eta on that?) or you did in 1.5 and/or updated the zip?

We're having the problem where it won't change their title to 'banned' so its a little annoying.

Also, what about accesses? As in, mods being able to warn in any forum even if they don't have control over it. Has this been adressed yet?

Please find below, my own version of control, under which mods can "View" a member's warnings anywhere in the site, but they can issue warnings only in the forums they moderate.


<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6 AND $post[usergroupid]!=7 AND can_moderate($forum[forumid], '', $bbuserinfo[userid])"><a href='Warn.php?do=WarnUser&id=$post[userid]&post=$post[postid]'>Warn $post[username]</a> ?
</if>
<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6 AND $post[usergroupid]!=7 AND ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==7 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6)">
<a href='Warn.php?do=ViewWarnings&id=$post[userid]'>View $post[username]'s Warnings</a> ?</if>

<if condition="$post[userid]==$bbuserinfo[userid] AND $post[usergroupid]==2">
<a href='Warn.php?do=ViewMyWarnings'>View your Warnings</a> ?</if>


If you want your moderators to be able to warn in any forum, use the code below:


<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6 AND $post[usergroupid]!=7 AND ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==7 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6)">
<a href='Warn.php?do=WarnUser&id=$post[userid]&post=$post[postid]'>Warn $post[username]</a> ?<a href='Warn.php?do=ViewWarnings&id=$post[userid]'>View $post[username]'s Warnings</a> ?</if>

<if condition="$post[userid]==$bbuserinfo[userid] AND $post[usergroupid]==2">
<a href='Warn.php?do=ViewMyWarnings'>View your Warnings</a> ?</if>


The last if in each piece of code, is used so that each member can see his own warnings easily (he does not have to go to the "Quick Links" menu to do that).

I haven't tried the second piece of code myself, but it should work for you. Please let me know if you have a problem.

I have a problem with this. In the admin CP-->Warning Options-->Warning Logs, whenever I click on Review Post or Remove Warning, it gives me a messed up link. Here's the problem:
the link for Remove is forums/index.php/Warn.php?do=(and so on for the warning ID stuff)
and the ink for review post is forums/index.php/showthread.php?p=(number of post and such)

Why is this happenning? It also happens if i go to User Warnings in a thread and try to see the post.

sv1cec

08-09-2004, 06:28 AM

I am afraid this is not as simple as that.

If you are to delete aged warnings (and I believe one should do that), the task is a bit more involved than just deleting the warnings themselves. I believe that you should also reduce the points the member has accumulated, until that time, by the number of points associated with the warning you delete.

I tried to do such a thing, but it gets too complicated for my knowledge of queries. You have to fetch the user id, then go to the warnings table, get the warned_warning_id and from their find how many points are associated with this warning type and subtract these points from the user table. If you can do that, I guess you are solving one of the major issues with this hack.

And of course, the un-banning script will be a welcome improvement too.

Some people (me included) had expressed the hope that the PM send to the members when they are warned, is formed by an easy-to-adapt template. Well, I've managed to do it, so here are some details:

In Warn.php, find :

$messageb="You have been warned for one of your posts: }/showthread.php?p={$_POST['post']}]click here to see it ({$vboptionsQuick Links menu above and select View Your Warnings, to see details about all the warnings you have received. The person who warned you, entered this comment: {$_POST['comment']}. Please reply back if you have a dispute.";
$messageb=ParseInput($messageb);

Replace these lines with :

eval('$messageb = "' . fetch_template('warn_pm') . '";');

Then create a template named "warn_pm" and inside it use the followings:

Dear $user[username],

You have been warned for one of your posts, which violated the Forums Rules.

The reason you have been warned is because $warn_type[warn_desc] (Warning Type = $warn_type[warn_name]), for which you have been given $warn_type[warn_points] point(s).

The post for which you are warned can be seen here ($vboptions/showthread.php?p=$_POST[post]).

The person who warned you, entered this comment:

$_POST[comment]

Your total Warning Level at the moment is: [b] $level point(s).

If you reach the maximum of $warn_options[points_before_banned], you will be banned from the Forums, for $warn_options[banned_limit] days.

To see details about all the warnings you have received, until now, please click here ($vboptions[bburl]/Warn.php?do=ViewMyWarnings).

Please reply back if you have a dispute.

I hope this helps.

After a lot of trial-and-error, I've managed to improve on Jag's script above.

The script below, will test every warning to see if it is more than a month old. If it is, it will erase the warning and reduce the points of the member by the number of points that warning had.

One question Jag, that number you used, $date = $today-240800, the 240800, where does it come from? I believe that it should be $date = $today-2592000 (for 30 days x 24 hours x 60 minutes x 60 seconds).

Here is my script:

<?php
/*================================================= =====================*\

$DB=$DB_site; // What? Its easier to write ^_^;
$warn_page=""; // Template Var

$today = time();
$date = $today-2592000;

$warn=$DB->query("select w.*,wt.*,u.* from ".TABLE_PREFIX."warnings w left join ".TABLE_PREFIX."warning_types wt on(wt.tid=w.warned_warning_id) left join ".TABLE_PREFIX."user u on(u.userid=w.warned_user)");

while($warns=$DB->fetch_array($warn))
{
// update user's warn level
if (vbdate($vboptions['dateformat'], $warns[warned_time]) == vbdate($vboptions['dateformat'],$date))
{
$level=($warns['warning_level']-$warns['warn_points']);
$level=(int)$level;
if($level<1){$level=0;}

$DB->query("update ".TABLE_PREFIX."user set warning_level='{$level}' where userid='{$warns['userid']}'");
$DB_site->query("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "warnings WHERE wid='{$warns['wid']}'");
}
}

Is that default? I want moderators to only have access for the forums they moderate. Something else that would be nice is to be able to add it to postbit such as:

That way users will know to view warnings or not.

This is what I have, yes, you can show the warning points in the postbit.

To see how mine looks like go to:

Now if you were logged in as a user, in your posts, you would also see the "View my warnings" link too.

sv1cec

08-10-2004, 06:02 AM

OK, here is what I use in my postbit templates. I do not use the legacy one, but try it and let me know how it works for you.

In your postbit (or legacy) template, find:

<if condition="$show['postcount']">#<a href="showpost.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]&postcount=$post[postcount]" target="new">$post[postcount]</a>  </if>

Right above it, add:


<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6 AND $post[usergroupid]!=7 AND can_moderate($forum[forumid], '', $bbuserinfo[userid])"><a href='Warn.php?do=WarnUser&id=$post[userid]&post=$post[postid]'>Warn $post[username]</a> ?
</if>
<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6 AND $post[usergroupid]!=7 AND ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==7 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6)">
<a href='Warn.php?do=ViewWarnings&id=$post[userid]'>View $post[username]'s Warnings</a> ?</if>
<if condition="$post[userid]==$bbuserinfo[userid] AND $post[usergroupid]==2 AND $post[warning_level]>0">
<a href='Warn.php?do=ViewMyWarnings'>View your Warnings</a> ?</if>


This is the code that makes the "Warn XYZ" and "View XYZ's warnings" appear.

For the number of points each user has, to appear in the post:

Find:

<if condition="$show['reputation']">$post[reputationdisplay]</if>

Right below this, add:

<if condition="$post[usergroupid]==2"> Warns Level: $post[warning_level]</if>

Let me know if these work for you, as I said it's hard for me to remember if anything else needs to be changed, but I'll help you out to make it work for you.

But when that user has a warning, it would be:

Warns Level: 1 (have the color to be red for the non-zero number). I think it would be a condition or something. Dunno.

Change that last if, with the one below:

sv1cec How could i add buttons/links to the dropdown menu in the postbit, where the "view users profile" & " visit users homepage" links are?

I would like it so that Admins and S/Mods and the user himself to see the how many warnings they have BUT other users cant, they can see there own but not others. Like Erwins hack did. Can you help do this? Thanks

Snowy
Snowbot,

I am trying to find that dropped-down menu you are talking about and I can't . All I can find, which looks like the menu you are talking about, is the one which appears if you click on the user name, above each post. Is that the one you are talking about?

In any case, what I've done in my site, is to have a couple of links in the postbit, through which the admins/mods and the owner of the post can see the warnings this particular user has received.

The code for those links is:


<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6 AND $post[usergroupid]!=7 AND can_moderate($forum[forumid], '', $bbuserinfo[userid])"><a href='Warn.php?do=WarnUser&id=$post[userid]&post=$post[postid]'>Warn $post[username]</a> ?
</if>
<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6 AND $post[usergroupid]!=7 AND ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==7 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6)">
<a href='Warn.php?do=ViewWarnings&id=$post[userid]'>View $post[username]'s Warnings</a> ?</if>
<if condition="$post[userid]==$bbuserinfo[userid] AND $post[usergroupid]==2 AND $post[warning_level]>0">
<a href='Warn.php?do=ViewMyWarnings'>View your Warnings</a> ?</if>


This code will do what you want (admins and mods can see the warnings, and the user can see his own warnings but not those of another user), but it might need some modifications in order to include it in the drop-down menu you are refering to.

Let me know which menu it is and I'll try to be more specific.

Well, in postbit template, find the following:

</table>
</div>


Just above it, you should add the code I gave you before, but change it a bit to fit in a table. In other words, try this:


<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6 AND $post[usergroupid]!=5 AND $post[usergroupid]!=7 AND can_moderate($forum[forumid], '', $bbuserinfo[userid])"><tr><td><a href='Warn.php?do=WarnUser&id=$post[userid]&post=$post[postid]'>Warn $post[username]</a></td></tr>
</if>
<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6 AND $post[usergroupid]!=5 AND $post[usergroupid]!=7 AND ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==7 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6)"><tr><td>
<a href='Warn.php?do=ViewWarnings&id=$post[userid]'>View $post[username]'s Warnings</a></td></tr></if>
<if condition="$post[userid]==$bbuserinfo[userid] AND $post[usergroupid]==2 AND $post[warning_level]>0"><tr><td>
<a href='Warn.php?do=ViewMyWarnings'>View your Warnings</a></td></tr></if>


Let me know if it works

Thats got it :)

I realy appreciate the help mate, THANKS :)
Glad if I can be of help.

I wish I had noticed down all the changes I 've done in this hack, so that I could pass them along to you guys. I've added the followings:

1. A Warning Maturity field, which specifies for how many days the warning points will stay in the member's record. After the Warning Maturity is over, the points are automatically cleared. The admin can set the Maturity to his likings and a cron script takes care of the deletion.
2. I added another field, called "Permanent Ban", which can be also selected by the admin. If selected, then the member which gets warned for that particular offence is permanently banned from the forum.
3. I've also modified the program to use a template for the PM. In that way, those unfortunate ones to get a warning, get a more readable message, with more details.

If someone is willing to swim through my mods, I can send him my files and hopefully, he can do the same things I've done. Sorry for not recording everything.

Now I have two problems with this hack, first is the one I mentioned above and the other one is when I try and ban someone. It gives this error message:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.1:

Invalid SQL: update user set usergroupid='8'',warning_level='5' where userid='3449'
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '5' where userid='3449'' at line 1

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks for the great hack Zero Tolerance,

Nice additions sv1cec.

We had a custom warnhack in Ikonboard and we have a bit of experience in using it (unfortunately).

The purpose of a warning system should of course be to correct a person when he causes troubles in the forums (sometimes just a friendly PM doesn't stop it and a complete ban isn't justified). Our floodsystem was linked to the amount of warnings. 1 warning added say 30 seconds, 2 warnings added 2^2 * 30 seconds, 3 added 3^2 * 30 seconds and so on (admin could set this to 60 as well). The extra flood was a pretty motivation to get back in line.

There's another thing: users posting a bait and removing the evidence once a few others took it and replied with a counter, then acting as the attacked innocent victim. Users who have 2 warnings can't edit their posts anymore.

I like this auto ban and it fits in nicely. I too feel that 2 auto ban types are nice.

Hello,

I didn't use the parent style when installing the hack, the warn templates are now only loaded for 1 Style, not the others. How do I get them into the others?

I already upgraded to 1.5, running the installer again will break things now?

TosaInu

08-30-2004, 11:16 AM

This is what I found so far. The installer only installs to the template set as default in vBulletin Options / Style & Language Settings. So, if you have many Styles it's most convenient to have one common grandmother and set that one as default during install.

The installer also splits template addition and database additions (Warn tables): two steps two buttons. So, in my case I set the grandmother as default (a child was) and just run the first part of the install again to get the templates in all styles and it won't mess the 1.5 upgrade.

Correct?

Hello:

I nistalled version 1.0 and upgrade but I see nothing that allows warning. Where ought this warning link be? I am Admin and have full priviledges on my site. I'd appreciate any help or clues on why the warning doesn't appear in every post bit. My site is at www.myiwc.com/forums

Thanks in advance.
Hello Tayeb,

Make sure you follow the instructions in the readme: running the installer is just one step, some files have to be edited too. Also note that ONLY the default Style will get the new warn templates (unless it's parent of all other Styles). -^

I forgot to do a page refresh F5 and saw nothing in the adminCP.

Thanks for your response and help. I did exactly what's said at the beginning of this thread. Do I need to edit files etc that aren't mentioned in the zipped files?

I see the templates in Style Manager of Admincp. What puzzles me where the link ought to be? Shouldn't I have to edit the Forumhome templates?

Also in Admincp there's isn't any Warning system link, so it seems v.1.0 installer (found in Warning_System.zip) doesn't install everything correctly?

I thank antecipately any help.

It's a great hack..... But the fact that the 'warn (user)' and 'view (user)'s warnings' links are visible for anyone (instead of only the ones that are allowed to warn) makes it a bit messy.

I would also welcome it when you could select in the control panel what usergroups in what forums can warn users.

I'm becoming blind! Didn't read the instructions on installing v. 1.0 so didn't work. Have sorted out and it's wroking now and improving reading all other contributions. Thanks TosaInu for the clues. :)

You're welcome Tayeb.

Make sure you read the other posts TCB especially sv1cec, it's not as easy as just running an installer, but it's not hard to do. I'm not a coder at all, but just reading and experimenting will give you the result you want.

This post seems to be the most important one for you. It did help me a lot
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=541605&postcount=192

His code only allows moderators to warn user in their own forum, and admins being global mods in all forums.

Not really my business, but I think you want to give this only to moderators/supmods. You risk a civil war on your site when people who are not staffmembers can warn.

If you need it, just edit the code from sv1cec:

<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6 AND $post[usergroupid]!=7 AND can_moderate($forum[forumid], '', $bbuserinfo[userid])"><a href='Warn.php?do=WarnUser&id=$post[userid]&post=$post[postid]'>Warn $post[username]</a> ?
</if>

to something like

<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6 AND $post[usergroupid]!=7 AND ($bbuserinfo[userid]== 10 OR can_moderate($forum[forumid], '', $bbuserinfo[userid]))"><a href='Warn.php?do=WarnUser&id=$post[userid]&post=$post[postid]'>Warn $post[username]</a> ?
</if>

Where you should replace 10 by the ID of the group you want to give warn.

Tayeb, upgrade 1.5 has extra install instructions too. Need to update the SQL database by running a query and have to edit a file.

TosaInu

08-31-2004, 03:41 PM

And a suggestion for v2.0 of this great hack.

It forces sending a PM, very good thinking here. But it's possible that the user disabled (accidentely or not) the message system. It's luck if he sees the message then. It would be nice if it did also forcefully sent an e-mail.

sv1cec's code -^ will allow staff and warned members to check their status which also includes the PM. I added a flag in the forumview that will notify staff and warned members instantly:

In Postbit (or legacy) find:

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon]</div>

Above that add

<if condition="$post[warning_level]>=3 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==7 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6 OR ($post[userid]==$bbuserinfo[userid] AND $post[warning_level]>0)"> Warn Level: $post[warning_level]</if>

or to make it flag for staff too (faster spotting):

<if condition="$post[warning_level]>=3 OR (($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==7 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6 OR $post[userid]==$bbuserinfo[userid]) AND $post[warning_level]>0)"> Warn Level: $post[warning_level]</if>

$post[warning_level]>=3 makes the warning level visible to everyone once level 3 is reached. Our staff feels that the first warnings should be a private afair between mods and user, level 3 and beyond should get some public pressure.

I also updated the moderator comments in Warn_AddWarn template to get a larger box for composing the PM:

Moderator Comments:</td>
<td class="alt2"><textarea name="comment" rows=10 cols=50 class="bginput"> </textarea>
</td>
</tr>

It works, but I'm not entirely sure whether it's proper code :o

Tayeb

08-31-2004, 03:53 PM

Tayeb, upgrade 1.5 has extra install instructions too. Need to update the SQL database by running a query and have to edit a file.

Thanks TosaInu, I did do the upgrade to 1,5 and followed the instructions and also took care so that only Admin and Moderators (these ones in their own forums) can warn.

Zero Tolerance I have one problem with the hack, maybe you or another member can help

OK the hack is GREAT but lets say the member DOES NOT post but just sends a PM, there is no way you can add a warning for them :(

Is there a way we can include this?

Thanks for any help on this.

If you go through this thread, I think there was a reference to how to change the original hack, to show only in threads and not in PMs. If you want it in PMs too, just reverse that reference.

Sorry, but I do not have the time to search for it.

As it is in my postbit template, the warning points total, for each member, is viewable by everyone. What is not viewable, is the warnings themselves, in other words the details of each warning that the admin and mods can see. Here is the code I use:

Right below:

<if condition="$show['reputation']">$post[reputationdisplay]</if>

I have:

<if condition="$post[usergroupid]==2">
<if condition="$post[warning_level]>0">

</if>
 Warns Level: $post[warning_level]

</if>

That should make the warning total viewable to all.

I ran it, and everything works absolutely great after doing all the steps, however it never added the custom templates to my other skins. Just the default VB3 skin for my forum.

I'll be damned if I'm going to add all those custom templates to 8 skins. :p

Help anyone?

TosaInu

09-12-2004, 01:03 PM

Hello coRtALoS,

I had the same problem. It only installs to the skin that's set to default in vB options. It will only install to the other skins if that one is the parent Style of all others.

The only alternative I know about is using a SQL tool, that can be some work.

I've had some problems with my moderators in the past abusing the warning system.

I have found a very annoying problem with this hack.

No offense but your function ParseInput wasnt very good and it is not handling the comments the way i want. It is not giving good pm results. Meaning i get the ASCII characters in my PM's when recieving a warning notice.

First i would like to thank the admin's over at www.battleforums.com for pointing this out. Proper grammar can really improve a forum's appearance and that is one of the reasons i want help with this problem.

I tried to use a function by vbulletin but thats not working. If you could please modify it that would be great.
