Question about Post warning

[Alex Norton]

Ok, I set up the auto one but maybe I am missing something here as I would like to also set up a few manual post warnings but I see no place to warn the user (I'm using myself as a test member)
Should there be a control area for these Post based warnings? All I see when I go into a members profile is warn for none post related and view warnings.

Alex, you have to set up Warning Types, in AdminCP. Have a look at this picture:

You have to define what offences you want to warn your members for, before you can warn them. These are the Warning Types. If you haven't define any (post-related), then you can't issue warnings for post-related offences.

Yes, I've done that. My problem or maybe a misunderstanding on my part or I didn't read this part (some how missed it) but where exactly do I execute Post related warnings? In the use profile both in the Forum based and the Admin Panel I only have two options and those are to Warn for non post related and the other is to View warnings.

I have ObsceneWords as the Automated warner and then I set up a Pornographic Material warning as well and when it said post related I chose Yes.

The only warnings that show up in any control panel that I can click is the non post related. Have I missed something or am I expecting this to work differently than it does?

It shows up like in your graphic images.

So, where should the Post related panel be located where the Admin can click on it for a post related warning? Should it be in a users post? If so then I missed something ..some where.

Everything else works great with no errors at all and once I figure this out I will be upgrading to the latest version. Thanks for all your hard work!

Oh and the warnings also do not show in the users post, should it?

The warnings for post-related Warning Types are issued from the posts themselves. If everything is done per the instructions, you should have either a text link or a button on each and every post in your forums (well, in some of them you will not have the links/buttons, it depends on if you use hierarchical or not).

Check the attached image.

Ok, thanks for that picture and info. I'll go in and redo it as I must have missed something.

If you do not have those buttons (or text links, depending on your options), check the followings:

file includes/functions_showthread.php
file showthread.php

and your postbit and postbit_legacy templates.

Hey John,

Thanks for that piece of information! That was exactly what was wrong (I missed the postbit template) I appreciate you taking the time to help me and others with our user error based problems! Now it is time to do an upgrade :devious:

Glad if I was able to help.

Yea you were a great help at fixing this issue. When I originally was setting this up I was falling asleep but kept on for another hour and during that period I missed the postbit. This is a grade A+ Hack or should I call it a Mod? Modding a computer means making it better, and to me you are helping us Mod VBulletin into a better version!

Alex, thanks for the nice words, sincerely appreciated.
