k. I'll post the instructions. I garuntee nothing as I haven't had a chance to test this out, I mean I havent' seen any errors yet but any chance to throughly test it has not been made. Also you do this with no support.

Open up warnings.php and find (Line 23 for me.):
function SendPM($message,$title,$to,$from)
and change it to
function SendPM2($message,$title,$to,$from)

then find(line 86 for me):
function RunError($message)
and change it to:
function RunError2($message)

I have noticed no errors btu have not extensively looked. I'll look through the whole thing tomorrow and make sure but as of now I can warn a user and everything works. so yeah...Quizes should work after that.

k. I'll post the instructions.

Or..., just make the call to the Warning functions file conditional..

Change your global_start plugin to

if (THIS_SCRIPT != "quiz") {
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_warning.php');
DEVDEBUG('AutomaticWarner' . $vbulletin->options['warn_automatic_warner']);}
*shakes head at ideas of code editing* ;)

I think it's just me, so ignore me :( I have RPG Inferno installed and apparently, this hack "double conflicts" with the most popular hack on my board.

I'm pretty sure this would work if you didn't use RPG Inferno.

Known problem - both Hacks use the same function name.
Won't be fixed (any time soon).That would never happen if every author would prefix his functions, var's and tables/columns, with a hack specific prefix. (Like i always do ;))

Andreas

10-02-2005, 07:13 AM

I never do that cause prefixes are hard to remember :)
Anyway, even with prefixes it could happen - just the chance would be much lower.

Marco van Herwaarden

10-02-2005, 07:16 AM

Well since 3.5 i always use my Product-Id as prefix. Chance of duplicates are almost 0 then, and if the other hack was a product using the same choice of prefix, you wouldn't even be able to load them both. :D

Our database still contains some info from the 3.0x AWS hack. Is it possible to just run the install script, or will it quit because the MySQL tables and maybe even some templates are still there?

@ everyone with the quiz problem

Seems to be a problem with us cluttering this thread. Should we go somewhere else to discuss this?

@TosaInu
It should work just fine if you were using the latest 3.0 Version of this Hack.
If not, you might end up with missing columns that need to be added manually.

Great, thanks KirbyDE.

I gave the latest version a look already and I think the install guide needs a tiny update. There are template edits that apply to both postbit and postbit legacy, yet only postbit is mentioned. It's the same code, it just needs to be mentioned. The display of warningpoints is an example.

Thanks again for porting this great hack.

The inferno quiz and this do not get along.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare sendpm() (previously declared in /home/httpd/vhosts/supportcore.org/httpdocs/testvb/quiz.php:139) in /home/httpd/vhosts/supportcore.org/httpdocs/testvb/includes/functions_warning.php on line 23 any ideas?

I have already posted an answer on this (or maybe a similar question). The SendPM routine that I use, was inherited from Zero Tolerance's original, warning hack. If the hack which conflicts with this routine is also written by Zero Tolerance, there is a strong possibility that these two routines, (the one in AWS and the one in the other hack) are exactly the same, so one of the two can be deleted.

The same thing with the RunError routine.

The suggested fix by TruthElixirX, is only partial, since all it does is change the names of the two routines. It does not alter the code where these routines are called from. In other words, if some where in the code, one of the hacks was calling RunError, and this routine was renamed to RunError2 in AWS code, then AWS is still calling RunError (not RunError2), which is a routine of the other hack. That enhances my thinking, that these two routines are identical in the two hacks, otherwise the fix that TruthElixirX applied would have never worked.

Well, the first image shows that it goes to Warn.php (not warn.php), which is the proper file name, but there is no Add 1, Subtract 1 etc in AWS Warn.php program. This screen is not coming from AWS.

The second image, I also have no idea where it comes from. Judging from the URL shown, it is probably from the same file, which as I said, is not AWS.

I just installed this and so far so good but I did notice a few typos in the Add New Warning Type section. In the part for "Can this Warning Type have an Alert?" it should have committed instead of commited and "first offence, or he is" instead of "first offence, ir he is".

Ok, I need some XML type help here in referene to the warning system....

I run VolanoChat Pro on my site and it has a servlet that listens for incoming events (related to chat monitors and banning and such.)

The VolanoChat server sends "event" notifications in XML notation to any script using HTTP POST.

I would like to somehow write a script that would receive the chat events for banning and kicking users and issue warnings through the AWS.

The guide for this stuff is at: http://www.volano.com/guide26/listening.html

Let me know what you think :)

If I remember correctly, this is something that is not part of AWS. The reporting of a post is done by vB itself. Am I wrong on this?

seg

10-11-2005, 07:05 AM

That is strange. With all these options and we can't change the reported posts to be sent to PM? We run a large website and the message board admin address is an alias that goes to a department. It would be nice if we could not have continuous reports being sent to everyone. Please let me know if there is another way.

Thanks.

You could save Warnings and Alerts in a seperate Subforum which is MUCH better then sent it per PM ;-)

If you need Email Notification, you can use some Account and take a abo from the forum which holds the warnings/alerts.

I have installed the latest zip file here.

I get this error when I try to warn anyone:Warning: Division by zero in /includes/functions.php(4259) : eval()'d code on line 10

Also the view warning function is still not showing up in my postbit legacy. Only the warn option.

It also apears that the template mod instructions have not been updated.

Andreas

10-11-2005, 12:52 PM

Line 4259 of functions.php is a call for Hook global_complete.
As AWS does not use a Plugin on this Hook, the error must be caused by another Hack.
Which Plugins do you have on Hook global_complete?

Xplorer4x4

10-11-2005, 01:24 PM

The only plug-in using global_complete is the Microstats plug-in. I still don;t under stand why the view warnings is not showing up. I edited my post bit legacy exactly to the intructions.

Andreas

10-11-2005, 01:28 PM

The Template edit instructions are not 100% correct ;)
Anyway, does the error still show up when you disable Microstats?

Ok, I am confused. I have set up a forum for warnings and alerts. Are you able to have the "Report Bad Post" option sent to the forum instead of by email to the administrator? Is this only sent to the administrator and not the moderators? I don't think there is a way to change this to a PM instead of email, but are there any options available to control this message?

Notes are not supported in 3.5. It's a left-over from AWS 3.4, which needs to be added to this version.

From the posts here, I think it is pretty stable as it is. I haven't seen any serious problems, so I guess it is up to KirbyDE to decide.

And if KirbyDE has some time, you can look forward to the ability to add Notes. This is something that was added in the late versions 3.4.1x (can't remember exactly which) and which allows you to add private or public notes (public means all management team can see them), either post-specific or not, for a member of your forums. I guess this will be added in the second, non-Beta release.

Is this a feature, or a bug?

In 'No Posting' forums (closed ones), the warning links don't show in postbit.

I moved a spammy post to my spam forums before warning the poster and noticed that the option is missing.

sv1cec

10-13-2005, 07:09 PM

I am not sure, I've never tried it with a No Posting forum. In my site, we move/copy the post to a "Laundry Room" area, where moderators have access, but not plain members. In that forum, the warn links are shown fine. I am not sure why they won't show in a No Posting.

My suggestion is to issue a warning before copying/moving the post.

Is it possible to allow all registered users to view the warnings issued to a member as the Mods can? (But obviously not warn someone. :) )

sv1cec

10-14-2005, 12:37 PM

Yes, this is possible. In your plugin manager, find a plugin named "warn_showthread_showlinks_and_points". In that plugin find:

if ($postadmin!=1 AND $postmod!=1 AND $postsmod!=1 AND ($useradmin==1 OR $usersmod==1 OR $usermod==1))
{
$showviewwarnlink=1;
}

Replace that with:

$showviewwarnlink=1;

Then open Warn.php and find:

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

Replace that with :

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

I haven't tried it myself, but I gave those instructions to another member and he didn't come back to complain, so it should work.

I found one more problem. I set up of the ObsceneWords automatic warner. I don't want PMs to be included in the automatic warner, so in options I turned off - "Use Automatic Warnings from Private Messages?"

I noticed that a user was warned for sending a censored word in a PM. In this portion of the warning message: "To see details about all the warnings you have received, until now, please click here."

I clicked on the link which took me to a screen giving me the warning information for that user. Under "Warned Post", I clicked on "Post ID 3240 Review Post". This took me to another users post from last May. The post had no censored words, but had the "Warned Post" sign attached to it. The user who created the post had no warning points.

Why would this warn a user for a PM? And why is it referring to a post by another user that has no censored words?

I would also like the ability to prevent regular moderators from seeing the system and warnings thereof as I have private forums where a member if a moderator of that forum only, but none of the public forums. My real moderators are all supermoderators.

Any suggestions on a workaround at least?

Thank you much!

Try to enter your admin and supermoderators groups only and use a fake moderators group, not your real one. Maybe that fools it around. I am not sure though, as I am not sure how your setup works.

marcjd

10-18-2005, 03:31 AM

I did change the usergroup for regular mods to the number for supermods. However, these private forum mods aren't in an actual moderator usergroup so it is kind of weird that they can see it. While I thought about the conditionals, with this in mind I wouldn't know how to do it.

Please describe to me your problem in more details. I understood, that you have some members, which do not belong in the standard moderator group, and they are not really moderators, except if they are moderating one particular forum each? Am I correct so far?

In other words, those members belong to group 2 (normal users), but each one is allowed to moderate a particular forum?

And what is that they see now, that you do not want them to see?

sv1cec

10-20-2005, 12:35 PM

I am totally lost here, so a few clarifications:

- The Notes IS NOT implemented yet in AWS 3.5. It's a feature I added in the last release of AWS 3.4.x but has not been ported. So either edit your templates to remove the Note button ir just don't use it.

Double posting, as someone suggested, can be two things: (A) The same post, twice, in the same thread, which is prevented by vB but sometimes occurs and (B) The same post in more than one threads in more than one forums. The second can not be trapped by AWS, at least not in an easy way.

@Dart and Sv1 shouldn;t changing this option Who can view the Warning Points and bans? to all rather then mnament work rather the making code changes to the plug ins?

This option does not allow you to see what particular warnings a member has received, only how many warnings.

i have been trying to make a slight modification to the AWS
i want additional users in admin/mod/smod usergroups to also have warn powers

for example, i subhost forums, each forum i subhost gets a moderation group and someone is set as group leader (joinable group) others request to join the group and the leader approves (they are now additional users) they should also have warn powers where ever the group leader (who is a primary user) does

i've made a few changes to the product xml file and marked where they are with "//membergroupids" (it should be pretty obvious what i did)

anyways i think this would be a good feature, something to consider adding permanently

*EDIT*
i almost forgot - it doesnt work, so i need someone to look at it and see if they can fix it - right now it doesnt show the warn buttons to additional OR primary users (so i broke it)

*EDIT AGAIN*
okay here is a working version (non working version removed)

can_moderate() seems to be the correct way, as only this assures that the User is really a moderator. Therefore I'd vote not to change that.

It checks to see if they are a forum moderator, but not an actual moderator that belongs to a moderator usergroup. The private forums holders I have are not in that usergroup, just assigned to moderate a particular forum, which allows them to see information that only management should be able to see.

If there any simple way you know to change the code from the canmoderate to a check on whether they belong to a specific usergroup? ...such as Super Mods?

Thank you very much...I love this system. :)

I am not very familiar with how the access rights work etc, but from looking at the can_moderate function code, I would expect the primary member of a forum (as you describe it), to be able to warn the other members of that forum. But I can be wrong, so if someone else has any more experience in this field, please join in and help marcjd.

marcjd

10-23-2005, 06:00 PM

It seems like if the code was replaced with ismemberof with the usergroup id of the supermods then it would work the way I need it to. I am not sure exactly how to make the change, but may experiment around.

i had the aws for 3.0x installed. do i need to uninstall that first before doing this?

im on 350 now, so what do i gotta do if i have to remove all traces of the old warn hack?

This extension is incredibly messy with anything but the original vBulletin style...

I tried my best to manually edit sections of templates (such as the postbit) instead of replacing huge slabs, but even the Warn.php files have tables all over the place.

Uninstalling until this becomes more user friendly :P

It's a real shame because this is exactly what I was looking for.

I am not sure I understand what your problem is. Clearly your error message, indicates that your settings table has already the appropriate settings and you are trying to re-insert them. I haven't written the installation procedure for version 3.5.0, so you will have to wait for KirbyDE to give you more specific instructions, but I would say that AWS is already in your system.

I guess that what this user was complaining about, is that it is difficult to edit the templates to include the AWS controls.

As Andreas said, please feel free to provide for a better location of the controls and information.

The vBulletin 3.5 product system does handle settings that are attached to products.
However, if you already have the settings from the 3.0 Version in your database, you will run into problems.

Running this query before installing the product XML should take care of this:

UPDATE setting SET product='aws', volatile=1 WHERE varname IN ('warn_version', 'warn_hierarchical', 'warn_automatic', 'warn_automaticpm', 'warn_autocomments', 'warn_automatic_warner', 'warn_warner', 'warn_collector', 'warn_banned_limit', 'warn_points_before_banned', 'warn_warnings_before_banned', 'warn_banned_usergroup_id', 'warn_protected_usergroups', 'warn_troll_usergroup_id', 'warn_restore_groupid', 'warn_incr_ban_days', 'warn_max_no_bans', 'warn_bans_mature', 'warn_viewoption', 'warn_multiple_per_post', 'warn_send_em_warning', 'warn_send_pm_warning', 'warn_email_on_ban', 'warn_historical', 'warn_allowoffpost', 'warn_warnings_per_page', 'warn_textbutoption', 'warn_modoption', 'warn_sig_thresshold', 'warn_avatar_thresshold', 'warn_aprotected_usergroups', 'warn_pmcutoff', 'warn_admingroups', 'warn_smodgroups', 'warn_modgroups', 'warn_savecopy', 'warn_savecopyforum', 'warn_allowalerts', 'warn_allowalertscomment', 'warn_alertslifetime', 'warn_savecopyalert', 'warn_includepost', 'warn_allownotes')

Hi!

Let me start off by saying this is the best hack for VB in my opinion and I appreciate Andreas and sv1cec for working on this hack for us.

I do have an issue and are in need of some guideance. Moderators and SuperModerators are receiving auto warns even though they are in the correct usergroup id's assigned by VB. The set-up explains not to put them in the protected usergroup which I did not. I have tried though adding the id to the protected usergroup to see if it would help and it did not.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thank you.

Hi,

This is no doubt a very good hack but I'll need to spend some time working out the necessary template edits (as I am using a non standard vB template) to get AWS to work. I think my custom style also affects the colspan of some of the tables in Warn.php.

kangta

10-26-2005, 03:08 AM

Hello,

For some reason the install is taking forever for me. I go to upload the XML as a new product, and it sits there forever. I don't get the little expanding dots while it's installing or the finish notification or anything. I've just now figured out that the longer I let it sit, the more plugins/hooks get installed, not sure about templates, but I'll let it sit for longer than 5 minutes before interrupting it this time and see if it ever actually finishes.

Just wanted to point this out and/or see if anyone else was having the problem. I had the system for 3.0.x installed before we upgraded to 3.5.0. Didn't think of removing the old DB entries before I installed the new warning system, so that could have been part of my problem. Not sure at this point... :p

TJFweb

10-26-2005, 03:56 AM

I've managed to get it installed on my board ;-) Just had to manually sift through the edits to make sure that everything gets inserted in the right place. It's just that I'm not very comfortable with instructions that involve replacing huge slabs of code because I use a lot of custom hacks and have a non-standard vB style running on my board which I don't want to mess up.

Here's a tip for everyone who's installed this (fixes the colspan on Warn.php):

Open warn_viewtype_end template:

Replace<tr>
<td class="tfoot" colspan="7" align="right">Warning limit before being banned: $vboptions[warn_points_before_banned] points. Initial banning period: $vboptions[warn_banned_limit] days.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

with
<tr>
<td class="tfoot" colspan="8" align="right">Warning limit before being banned: $vboptions[warn_points_before_banned] points. Initial banning period: $vboptions[warn_banned_limit] days.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

On the View Warnings AdminCP, remove warning and complete removal are linked as follows:

http://www.forum.com/forums//admin_warn.php?act=completeremove&id=1&userid=272&uname=blah&wname=Spam&postid=19774&orderstring=

they should be linked as ...forums/admincp/admin_warn.php...

Additionally, when I go to a user's profile in the main forum and I view their warnings, I cannot remove them as it tells me that there is an Invalid User ID.

kangta

10-26-2005, 05:39 AM

I know what you mean about the large slabs, I'm the same way. :) I'll generally be able to figure out what's changed between what I have and what I'm supposed to replace it with and can hack it accordingly.

For some reason, this thing uses a customized error page and function. That's all fine and dandy, but I like everything to be as consistent as possible :D so I modified the warning system to use vB's "standard error" template. It's rather simple, to do so:

Find this code in the includes/functions_warning.php:
function RunError($message)
{
// Theres probably some globals below not in use, uhm, who cares?
global $vbulletin, $session, $stylevar, $_POST, $vbphrase,$navbits,$show,$header;
global $templatecache, $db, $vbulletin, $style,$headinclude,$footer;
global $tempusagecache, $templateassoc, $pmbox,$pmtext;
eval('$warn_page .= "' . fetch_template('warn_error') . '";');
$navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('WARN') . '");');
exit;
}

And replace it with this:
function RunError($errormessage)
{
global $vbulletin, $session, $stylevar, $vbphrase, $header;
global $templatecache, $db, $style, $headinclude, $footer;
$pagetitle = 'Advanced Warning System - Error!';
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');
exit;
}
You'll notice I removed the globals that weren't needed... I basically played with each one until I found the ones that made the error pages work and the ones that didn't. You can change the text in the $pagetitle part to fit your forum or needs for the window title of the errors (these errors are used when you try to warn on a post that's already been warned assuming you have that disallowed, etc).

My advice to anyone who has a lot of modifications on their forum or a non-default skin would be... careful with the template edits ;) because with stuff like your postbit or memberinfo templates it's easy to mess stuff up if the code you're supposed to be replacing over isn't exactly as listed in the instructions.

Andreas

Darat

10-27-2005, 08:32 AM

I was wondering if you could give me some advice on customising your hack? (Which in general is VERY good and thanks for making it available).

On the board I admin we don’t use the warning points to trigger suspensions or bans, so I've set everything to figures such as 9999 for number of warnings before someone is automatically banned.

However what I would also like to do is remove (from sight) all mentions of the warning points (not the number of warnings). I've edited postbit to remove the warning points totals, I’ve edited the PM and email templates so they don’t mention the points or points total. However I'm getting stuck on removing the columns that list the various warning points on the "View your warnings" page. Could you give me some pointers on what templates or files I need to edit and what to look for?

As a suggestion, and I've no idea how many people would also find this useful but perhaps a feature for a later version would be something like a "Use points system? - yes or no" and if no is selected the system doesn’t use the points system and all the related points stuff (bans and so on are deactivated).

sv1cec

10-27-2005, 10:55 AM

If I understand that correctly, you have one warning point per warning, so your warnings number is equal to your warning points. Am I correct?

The templates which are used for showing the warnings are the warn_view?_....

You should also change the profile templates, so that they do not show the warning points.

Darat

10-27-2005, 11:12 AM

Thanks for the reply - what I'm looking to do is remove the columns in teh screengrab attached.

The problem I have is that the view seems to be made up of several templates?

sv1cec

10-27-2005, 11:19 AM

The templates are grouped together. In other words:

warn_view_top
warn_view_row
warn_view_end

are the group which shows the warnings. All three have to be edited to remove those columns, when a user checks his own warnings.

When an admin is checking a user warnings, then the templates are the warn_viewb_row, ...top and ...end.

I hope this helps.

10-29-2005, 07:49 PM

I think you have mixed up things. The image you attach is not from AWS. I do not know from which hack this is (it definitely is not even from the old ZT hack), but it's certainly not AWS.

In AWS you define each offence (Warning Type) in AdminCP, from there on, the moderators cannot change either the points associated with that offence or the duration of the ban. In a few words, AWS will cover your needs.

There seems to be a conflict with kirby's default sort (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=93074) plugin. When I install both, none of the $vbulletin->GPC variables work. It will work when either plugin is disabled.

What's weird is that I got both to work in my home server but the production server doesn't. The only think I can think of is that I installed it in a different order.

adalren

10-30-2005, 09:04 PM

I don't see why it doesn't work either. When both are active, doing a clean_gpc doesn't put the request variables into $vbulletin->GPC. The forum starts to act funny and I can't login or view page 2 of anything. I had to edit the class_hook.php and disable fetch_hook to fix it.

Andreas

10-30-2005, 09:14 PM

Erm ...

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', 1);

If you are: Were you able to track down which Plugin exactly is causing the problems?

adalren

Wow, this hack does most of the things my mods and admins are currently doing manually! However to be able to use it, I need 2 features :nervous:
1. Categories. We have different warning limits for different "crimes". For example if somebody offends another member he is banned after 3 warnings. If somebody writes greeklish he's banned after 5 warnings and those counts are separate. One could have 4/5 for greeklish and 2/3 for offensive posts and not be banned.
2. Warnings limit based also on how many times the user was previously banned. for example if a user offends someone he's banned temporarily after 3 warnings as I said before. If, when he returns he does THE SAME thing 2 (not 3) more times then he gets banned permanently.

Is there any chance that these features will be added? :nervous:

PS: Are you greek? You must be the 2nd greek coder I've seen here! (I am the other :p)

Why not just srt up a warning limit and then say you use 9 points...if they get 3 warning at 3 points there banned for oofending members. Then use 2 points as the warning value for greekish. They will actually hit 10 points instead of 9 but when the warning points are lifted the extra point will cancel out I would assume.

2. Warnings limit based also on how many times the user was previously banned. for example if a user offends someone he's banned temporarily after 3 warnings as I said before. If, when he returns he does THE SAME thing 2 (not 3) more times then he gets banned permanently.

I wouldn;t mind seeing this, but again it is all a matter of setting up a warning type and dividing up the points by your ban limit.

Lea Verou

10-31-2005, 02:11 AM

I agree on the last part. It can be done this way, woo hoo!! :D
About the first part though... It will not work... The above were only 2 samples of our rules. There are other categories too, eg posting spam, trolling etc :(

Set up multiple warning level for the same thing like i did....for example I have Spam1,Spam2, and Spam3...If I issue a spam 1 then this gives them one warning point where as spam level 3 is 3 warning points...this is exactly how you would have to do it with a catgorey set up this way will just be less organized.

It wont do the trick in all cases as the w. points are sumed up currently. Also doing it this way wont save me much work as it will still be pretty manual. Unless you are referring to the 2nd thing you said (I think you are), in which I said I agree. :)

Xplorer4x4

10-31-2005, 03:11 AM

Yes, I am Greek, and glad to meet another Greek coder here.

Since my involvement with AWS is now limited to the pre-vB3.5 versions, I sincerely don't think I can do any more development on this. I do not know if KirbyDE wants to take over, but there are two reasons I do not see me doing it : a) I do not plan to upgrade to vB 3.5 any time soon, since my site is heavily hacked and I do not want to loose any functionality and b) I do not have the time to work on this any more.

So, as far as I am concerned, I can't help you much with your warning schema.

:( Thank you for all your hard work Sv1, this is trully an awsome warning system. It seems very close to being out of the beta stages, and I have no problems with this on my board, althought there are a few advancments that would be nice. Ahh well maybe Zero or Chris M can get r done.

Also thanks for actually telling your users you can not work on this unlike some devlopers who just bandon there hacks without notice...

sv1cec

11-02-2005, 08:20 AM

Well, the whole hack was pretty stable before we switch to the vB 3.5 idiosynchracies, so the reason it was announced as beta, is just to iron out those bugs which escaped my attention when I first converted it to 3.5.

It's unfortunate that vB choose to make so radical changes in the new release, to require recoding of the existing hacks, but that's the way it is, so I can't do much about it. And since I do not plan to upgrade my site to 3.5, I've lost interest in adding features to AWS. You can see that, from the fact that the Notes feature was added in 3.4.xx, after the work on 3.5 was almost finalized, so it was not included in the distribution. Those of you who are still in vB 3.0.x can take advantage of that feature, while the users of 3.5.x will have to wait for either KirbyDE (or anyone else) to include it.

By the way, I do not think Zero Tolerance would be going back to the Warning Hack, he can hardly support his own hacks, let alone mine.

Xplorer4x4

11-02-2005, 08:42 AM

Will you still be providing support as I still have a few questions. 2 of which I am pretty conifident I can do on my own....

The thirs thing is in this picture: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=21862
It shows the persons warning level. Is this possible in this version?

Can you also upload your latest version before jumping ship. I was thinking it would have those template edits kirby mentioned and perhaps that would show the warning level?

Thanks again for all your hard work.

EDIT: Is that some sort of away message hack you have shown in that post?

sv1cec

11-02-2005, 09:19 AM

Yes, I'll be here providing support, but I think we have a missing link in place, as I do not see KirbyDE here often. So if I correct something, he has to take my code and incorporate it in the distribution file, since I have no idea about how to package the files and everything. He has to do that.

Well, this message you want is still there, it just has changed to say "Warning Points:" instead of "Warning Level:". So it should be in this release, together with how many warnings the member has, and if he has any bans or any alerts, so here is how it will look:

Warnings: 1
Warning Points: 5
Alerts: 3
Bans: 1

The latest version I have, is what exists here. I have not done any more work on version 3.5. The template edits should be easy for anyone with HTML knowledge (and a little vB knowledge). If you have an issue, let me know.

As for the user away message, yes, it is my own version of the User Away hack. Typically, I install a hack, as it is published here, and then I change it according to my taste and my needs. That's what that is.

Xplorer4x4

11-02-2005, 09:35 AM

I have version 3.0.4 so I assume that is 3.5 B4? And the warning points do not show up in my tempales :(. Everything else works fine but the note feature (obviously). The warned post icons shows up for example, and the warn and view warn links show up but not the info you listed. :ermm:

Reason I asked baout the templates is Kirby said he updated them awhile back I believe, wasn;t sure if i had those edits or not.

And thanks for the note on the away hack(and the support). :)

sv1cec

11-02-2005, 09:54 AM

Version 3.0.4? I am not sure what that is. The latest AWS version for vBulletin 3.0.x is 3.4.16 I think. I have no idea what 3.0.4 is. That information you want, should be shown only in posts made by members who have received a warning, and according to your settings (AWS Options), either your management team can see them, or everyone can see them.

I am not sure where is KirbyDE, I haven't seen him in here for a while, so I can't say if he has updated the distribution file or not.

Xplorer4x4

11-02-2005, 10:04 AM

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<product productid="aws" title="Advanced Warning System" description="Advanced Warning System" version="1.0.4" active="1">

Thats what the XML File says. Dunno ok well I guess I will grab the zip and update just to be sure.

Either way I don;t recall exactly which setting I use as for public/staff, but either way the count doesnt show up on warned posts.

Would it have anything to do with using postbit_legacy VS Postbit?

Your on the ball today, thanks and if you could do me one more favor and link me to that away message mod? :o

sv1cec

11-02-2005, 10:57 AM

I think that KirbyDE hasn't included any modifications for the postbit_legacy template, because I haven't given him any. I'll have to look at this and come up with some instructions. Give me some time.

Ah, OK, it shows version 1.0.4 which should be equivalent to 3.5.4. No need to re-download the file again, I do not think that KirbyDE has updated it.

As for the User Away hack, this is the vB 3.0.xx release:

11-06-2005, 10:43 AM

I am not sure what this is folks, so far, I haven't seen this reported and if there was an error in the Warn.php file, it would affect everyone (unless KirbyDE has changed something). So, all I can suggest is that you check your postbit template edits.

When you move your cursor over the Warn XYZ button (or link) at the bottom of your browser window, it should show you the command it will execute, something like:

http://www.myserver.com/Warn.php?do=WarnUser&id=5420&post=61700

Do you see a number next to the id= part?

jluerken

11-06-2005, 11:31 AM

Yes, I see the ID part.

I found out that the current version brings up two problems.

1. I cannot warn a user. See above post

2. No posts can be done to the system cause its always saying that there are not enough characters or the subject is not filled out even if it is

sv1cec

11-06-2005, 12:54 PM

What does AWS has to do with the not enough characters error?

HAve you enabled automatic warnings from Posts? Try disabling that and tell me if it affects the not enough characters error.

Sorry, I do not feel very comfortable with 3.5 so I won't like to mess up your site. And that particular part of the program has been ported to 3.5 by KirbyDE, not me, so I can't be of much help.

11-06-2005, 06:55 PM

Milchi, please provide full details if you want any help.

When do you receive your error? In post-related or non-post-related warnings? Login in or out has nothing to do with AWS, I am afraid. So there should be something else that is causing this. Xplorer4x4 does not seem to have this issue, only you seem to have it.

jluerken seems to have another issue, his users cannot post, if AWS is activated. I have to assume that all these issues are not the same, so please provide as many details as possible for me and KirbyDE to help you.

Problems are solved. First of all, to all 3.5 Customers, use the attached functions_warnings.php, this should solve all problems

What my Effects where:

- If i activate the Load Functions File Plugin, noone Could login or logout.
- I was unable to issue post OR non-post-related warnings (if i am already logged in)
- there where some errors in displaying old warnings correctly

What where the problems?

KirbyDE didn't get it managed to convert all Scripts to 3.5. I assume that i did it, but don't know it really (it's going to be testet on tuesday, we update our 12 000 customers board ;-)).

There where some errors, 1 function "warn_notify" was completly wrong, that is why i can't even login, there was a }'ering mistake in a if clause

Seems to work for me also now but the file must be called functions_warning.php not functions_warnings.php

I don't know on which file you based your modification, but definitly not on the file from the ZIP (which works fine except that global $vbulletin; has to be removed) as you got some some code in totally different locations, as well as completely wrong code like

$to=$db->query_read("select * from ".TABLE_PREFIX."user where userid='{$to}'"); // Grab Member Its Going TO
$from=$db->query_read("select * from ".TABLE_PREFIX."user where userid='{$from}'"); // Grab Member Its Coming FROM

Don't blame it to KirbyDE, it might be me who have made that mistake. Although it works on my board, but my board has the first vB 3.5 version of AWS I send to KirbyDE, when he jumped in on this.

In any case, good you have it solved.

Complete Removal is working, you must click on the "inline mod" function of complete removal. don't know why the normal link is not working, didn't figured it out after 6 hours rewriting of code ...

@KerbyDE:
The Locations are different cause i restructered the file ;-)

This is the code from the ORIGINAL ZIP File, look (just downloaded it again this seconds)

$to=$db->query_first("select * from ".TABLE_PREFIX."user where userid='{$to}'"); // Grab Member Its Going TO

with

do_finduserwarnings&{$userid=$vbulletin->GPC[temp_uid]}";

First of all, this is great, thanks for porting it over.

Now to my minor problem:

Everything went fine up until one of the last edits on the navbar template. I was supposed to find:
<tr><td class="thead">$vbphrase[miscellaneous]</td></tr>
but when I search I cant find it anywhere.

So, I dont know where to put:

tr><td class="thead">Warnings</td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="Warn.php?$session[sessionurl]do=ViewMyWarnings">View Your Warnings</a></td></tr>

I dont really know anything about coding, but I tried to put it in the right places and I dont think it worked. Its not supposed to be under the main navbar in a little row of its own is it?

Anyways, everything except this has gone fine and Im not getting any errors, but I'm pretty sure without this part members cant view their warnings, or at least not easily, correct?

Anyway, I know its probably hard to tell from the info given but any help would be appreciated.

Follow the adivce mentioned above about checking to make sure they are the same...and if you can delete them, do so, but if you CAN'T try adding a "2" to the end of the function name and all instances and you may atleast be able to use it till a work around till the problem is fixed :)

Try finding the word Miscellaneous in the Navbar template.

The problem is not actually in the files, because I uploaded the original 3.5.1 files in ascii mode, it must be in the database, i must need to delete parts in the aws.

Also I can't access any part of my site, that includes the admincp because everwhere I go I get the same error as you all get at www.gamerzneeds.net/forums

any ideas which parts of the database i need to delete/edit?

I tried this
To get them working again, you need to disable the plugins.

Edit your config.php and add this on a new line:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Save and upload your config.php file.

But that just gave me errors, I still cant access my site or admincp to disable anything in their, so I think that is all my options pretty much.

I'm now uploading my last saved database, which was 16 hours old, so I have lost a fair bit of info, but thats my fault from not doing a complete save b4 doing this, but last time I installed this on 3.0.x it went fine, guess some of these ports have not been finished that well for 3.5.1

Anyway thanks for everyone who tried to help, looks like i will just have to realise that my last few days have now been lost :/

Go to your AdminCP/Warning System/Edit Options and set the one saying "Who can see the warning points etc" to All.

Sorry, I misread that! Guests? You want guests to be ab;e to see the user warnings?

You mean just in the postbit, or you want guests to be able to click on the "View Warnings" button and see the warnings of a user?

Hi,

How do I remove everything as if I have never used it on my board? I uninstalled the product, deteled php file, redo template changes, then reinstalled the hack. The log is gone but warning levels, warning point still remain.

Then You Didnt Redo All Of Your Templates...If Im Not Mistaken Which I Might Be, Check Both Your Postbits And Maybe Your Member Info? Not Sure...

Non-Post-Related. Warnings or alerts that are not related to a particular post. Those issued from the Public Profile.

I've been having some users complain of random subscriptions (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=165959) to threads around the site. AWS and post-award are the only two hacks I have (as I sit here and think about it) that play with showthread.php, which is the file Steve at vb.org suggested would be the area of concern.

Can anyone think of any reason AWS, under any circumstances, might be causing such a problem in limited cases? Just trying to narrow down my field of search, and hopefully remedy the problem.

And as long as I have the mic, has there been any discussion or consideration of the option (for those who use the 'three strikes, you're out' method) of making it so that only an admin can place the final warning that would result in a permaban?

I'd also be interested in figuring out a way where there's a limit to the number of active points a single mod can place on a user. As much for their own protection as the users, as one mod dealing all the damage can sometimes lend the appearance of a grudge.

AWS does NOT in anyway alters that information. At least not my code of AWS, so I would suggest you look elsewhere.

Nothing personal, John. Frankly, even if it did somehow cause it, I wouldn't be removing AWS, can't live without it now.

Any thoughts on those other two questions/suggestions/requests?

I missed the other two all together, that's what happens when I answer messages early in the morning.

Good points those two, but they require coding. And coding in the new environment (vBulletin 3.5) is not something I fancy. As I explained before, I've lost interest in this whole thing. My board is heavily hacked, both with hacks from here, and other patches I've done myself. I have to patch about 20 files every time a new vB release was coming out. Since there is no guarantee that all these hacks will be available for 3.5 and since I have no wish to recode everything to match the new vB standard, I know that my board will remain in vB 3.0.xx, probably for ever. So adding features to this version of AWS is not (how to say) my priority. Maybe Andreas could do that, although now with his new role, I do not know if he has the time for it.

I'll have a look at the code and see if you first idea can be easily implemented, somehow I believe it will not be that hard.

Well, I had a look and I do not even want to think about making those changes. Maybe some day, when I feel like doing this to my board, I'll post the code differences here. Don't hold your breath though.

Check your Template Edits.

I don't have an option in the AWS settings to enable those Notes.
Where can I do this?

Also in the User Manager there is no WARN USER link. In the Memberinfo I can do it but not directly in the ACP User Manager :-(

sv1cec

12-05-2005, 02:14 PM

To enable the Notes, you go to your AdminCP and in the Warning System Menu, Manage Warning Options.

What I see missing from your postbit_legacy is the number of Warnings, warning points etc, the member has. Check your postbit_legacy template for that.

Finally In the User Manager, at the bottom of the first column, there should be a small table with the Warning Information of the member. At the bottom of that table, there should be two buttons, Warn XYZ and View XYZ's Warnings. If not, check your edits in admincp/user.php.

Go to the vbulletin options and pull up the settings for the user notes. HOWEVER, I don't think the feature was ever completley finished so you have to change it to whatever the string for the stock vb user notes string is.

1)Did you do the member info template edits? On a side not, for me it kinda spaced all the text at the right top of the page away from the actual border like it should be.

2) I don't think the warn user feature in user manager actually works.

I activated this now but when I click on it there is no page coming up where I can enter notes.
Its simply a page with forum header, navbar, footer and thats it :D

Sorry folks, I answered those questions without noticing where they were posted. Notes are not implemented in AWS 3.5.x. They were added after the code was ported to the new environment, so only the changes in templates were mentioned, the code is not there to support the Notes. I can provide you the code if you so want, but it is not vB 3.5 compliant.

Great mod, I've used it on my old board. Just curious, when is this going to be updated? I don't use it, and told all my staff to stop using it yesterday when we found out that it banned people after only getting 2 warning points, when it was set to 10 before temp ban and 10 more for perm ban.

Any ideas as to why this happens? Cheers ^^

The warning points doesn't get reduced even though I deleted all the logs and completely remove all the warnings. Is there a fix for this?

For some reason the usergroups specified in the 'Moderators' setting for AWS can't issue / view warnings. AWS's specified Administrator and Super Moderators can however.

Does AWS require that users be a moderator of the board AND have their usergroup specified in the AWS settings? Because I want to give non-moderator usegroups permission to issue / view warnings.

Thanks.

Not sure about the issue warnings thing, but as far as members vewing the warnings this is a setting in the vbulletin options of AWS.

No it is not being updated. Thread searches do turn up faster answers in most cases. ;)

And I have it running on 3.5.2. So far no problems but I have not had to issue any warning for the time.

When i try and run the uninstaller.php from this version or from the last version i had i get this error.

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/gamerzne/public_html/forums/admincp/uninstaller.php on line 56

i need to totally uninstall the old version before i can install this version because im getting the database error that i stated above.

Thanks

Thats the same error im getting and I have noticed alot of people are getting, yet no one has answered how do you get rid of all the old traces of the old hack.

Thanks

Only Andreas can answer that for you gentlemen, I have no idea how the import works. I assume there is an issue with the settings, being there from your previous AWS installation. It should not be too difficult to fix that, but I have no idea where to change the program to do it.

sv1cec

12-07-2005, 04:48 AM

Gentlemen,

I am sorry to see that no one is answering the questions I can't handle. It looks as if Andreas is too busy to maintain this hack, and since he has done all the "packaging" work (i.e. create the installation files etc, for vB 3.5), I have no way to help you.

On top of that, my test site has been shut down, so I have no way to test things and come back with answers, than by checking the first version of the code I supplied to Andreas.

I apologize for the inconvenience, but I have absolutely no way to help you out. I'll try to contact Andreas and see if he plans to work on this hack, if not I need to find someone else who wants to help, or (I am afraid) we should call this "non-supported hack".

Sorry :(

12-07-2005, 04:52 AM

Well should i PM Andreas or just wait to see if he has time to check this out, hopefully he has time to support this wonderful hack.

I have just worked out my problem i think, im still testing it, but wanted to write down what i had done before i continue

i deleted in the uninstaller.php everywhere were it said

$DB_site->query

it was online 56 9* 114 116 etc and that alloud me to run the installer fine

now i get this message

You have completed all the automated steps of the Uninstaller.

Proceed with the rest of the modifications, described in the Uninstallations Instructions.

What are these?

sv1cec

12-07-2005, 05:16 AM

I am not sure if this solves your problem. What you did, with that, is that you removed all the database changes that the uninstaller was supposed to do.

Here are the rest of the instructions

Uninstallation Instructions
===========================

Even though an Uninstaller is supplied in the zip file, there is a lot of manual work to remove this hack from your system, mainly because of the number of files and templates changed.

The Uninstaller does the following tasks:

- Remove all new templates that AWS has put into your system.
- Remove all database tables used by AWS, as well as the columns used by AWS in the standard tables.
- Remove all phrases and settings added by AWS.

What the Uninstaller does not do:

- Bring back the standard php files, to the condition they were before you applied this hack.
- Bring back the standard templates, to the condition they were before you applied this hack.

In order to remove this hack from your vB, first upload the uninstaller.php file to your admincp directory of your server and upload the install_warn directory inside your forum's root directory. Then point your browser to:

http://your.forumsite.com/admincp/uninstaller.php

Follow the steps to the end.

Please note that depending on the version you are trying to uninstall, the script might not complete all the programmed tasks. For example, if you are trying to uninstall a version which does not include all the columns in the user table, that the script tries to remove, you will get an error message. If this happens, please contact me through the hack's thread for help.

After the Uninstaller has finished its chores, you have to manually change all the templates and .php files. To do that, open the Installation instructions text file, go to STEP 2 and reverse all edits.

Gentlemen, please be careful. These instructions were for AWS 3.4.x, I am not sure if they are the same for AWS 3.5.

And yes, I would suggest someone PMs Andreas and see if he plans to work on this hack or not.

12-07-2005, 05:23 AM

woot i just worked out how to fix the error i was getting, and so many b4 me.

I dont think what i did above, did anything lol, however i just realised that in adminphp if you edit the file settings and delete everything that has to do with the warning system then that will allow me to install the product no problem at all.

so far so good, i will update with my progress.

i now have everything working, this has been the hardest hack that I have had to install, and with the most problems, but after doing a lot of trial and error, and doing lots of backups. everything is working.

But it was well worth the effort because this hack should be standard in vbulletin IMHO.
