Alright, I found out you dont need Warn_Config, so i guess what happened is my thing isnt installed. How do I actually activate installwarning.php or whatever it is? (the auto-installer)

Upload to any folder (preferably your /admin/ folder) and then go to the page in a browser, like http://www.your.site/forum/admin/installwarning.php

ap0c's solution can be found here:

(Or if that doesn't work, it is post #388 in this thread.)

OK. I did the whole auto install thing. I went to admin panel, now everything but the admin_warning.php works (still gives me the mySQL error). In addition, i STILL don't see the postbits or the new category on the forums

Don't know how I missed that when I went looking.

Thank you so much - fixed and all working beautifully. :)

No problem :)

By the way, does the link in the postbit show up for you? Because it doesn't for me; that's the only problem that I am currently having with this hack :ermm:

If anyone else is having this problem, it can be solved by:

Open template "warn_getinfo_warning"
Find (twice):

And change it to this (both times):

Yes it does :) Have you checked in the AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Warning System, to ensure your usergroupid is able to view warnings? (If default usergroups, 5 is Super Moderators, 6 is Admin, 7 is Moderators

I included the modification described here so that warning points do not show in the postbit unless > 0

51 usergroups? wow

Thanks, I didn't notice that addition to the vBulletin options.

Took me a while before the penny dropped too :D

i've perhaps missed something but i couldn't find a file called warnconfig.php in the zip archive ......

There isn't a warnconfig.php; just ignore that file.

it was just from the installation file
"Something Different?
// ++++++++++++++++++++
Go to the Admin CP and create a new usergroup.
Call the group Banned by Warnings :: And be sure to restrict all access to the forum from this usergroup!
Then Submit and right click the edit link to that new usergroup. Remember the Usergroupid for the config of the warnconfig.php!
(ie. 8)

Notice ::
Open warnconfig.php and configure this according to your forum!"

The installation instructions were not updated when the installer was changed. All references to warnconfig.php may be ignored - all settings are to be found in your admin CP

Thanks :)

For the benefit of those that are still trying to install this brilliant hack and get stuck because they cannot find warn_config.php (which no loner exists), I have taken the liberty of re-writing the installation instructions to remove reference to that file

Credit still goes to g-force2k2 for this hack, and I hope you don't mind my input.

Noticed a bug it's cause i have an ' in the board title, but i think that i should be allowed that :p:

Hey Everyone,

I am trying to figure out how I can get the:

Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged
Warning Level: 0 [ View User Warnings ] [ Warn This User ]

To anchor at all times for each post in the bottom right hand corner. I've posted another thread as I was unaware that that this had to do with this hack, but I thought I'd post in both and see what you might be able to suggest. Thanks in advance.

Here's the other thread

How do you uninstall this completely?? It uninstalled everything except the Settings under vBulletin Options?? see attached for a better view.

// edit

Never mind i found out how, blind luck seeing as i didn't know it existed.

setting.php.

Hmm.. I think it would be cool if the mod could add a custom message to the pm / email and if it would be possible to add the link to the warned post in the pm / mail

anyone made a addon or anything so that mods could only warn people in their forums? Unfortunately a mod at my site went nuts and banned just about everyone on the site, lmao. dunno why, maybe his account was hacked, anywayz...if this is possible that'd be great that was mods can't just warn anyone, since they're suppose to be mods for certain forums anyway.

Well, I installed everything, but the links in the postbit arents there. Thats basically it, and I don't know whats the wrong. The warning system links in my admin CP and VB options are there, the "View Warning Lists" on the main page are there, just cant get the postbit to work

Have you tried going to your vBulletin Options and hitting Submit at the bottom? You need to submit the values, even if it's the default ones.

We've gone through and added the Warnings Hack on my forum. You can check it out: www.futurelooksforums.com

The problem that we have now is that the Warning icons within each thread reply or post do not always anchor on the bottom right hand corner of a thread or reply. :(

Please help me out and visit https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=51757

If you have a large postbit, that part of writing (Report this post etc.) never did anchor anyway.. ;)

For it to anchor, you need to create another table within the postbit template and valign it to bottom. Doing that is another story though.

Can i add a suggestion for possible furture releases:
The ability for users to see the warnings they have been issued (and if they are able to see which user issued it). Unless i've missed that i think it's good for users to know what they've been issued a warning for (and previous warnings) ;)

You can choose to notify the user if you want to send them a PM about their warning.

True. But my users don't keep PMs for that long so it'd be like a history of their warnings :)

but they are sent a PM saying who warned them and the reason for it, or an e-mail or something like that. So it's up to the member to remember what they were warned for, or to just save the PM or save it to their computer (in a txt file).

Can anyone answer my question above though?

I don't think that something like this would be very effective, because they could easily lure someone into their forums if they really wanted to warn or ban them.

How do warned users view their own warnings?

PM or email. That's it

I would like to allow the warned user to view warnings from their profile.

I guess this would mean modifying part of member.php, but can anyone tell me what to do please?

I have given rights to moderators to give warnings. However, how do I stop them from being able to give warnings in forums they do NOT moderate?

Does this hack support automatic decrease of warning-points in any way?

I don't think so.

install it on vb2.3.0 with some minor problems but manage to fix them myselft.

excellent hack really love this one

I got a small bug some how, it is installed on vB 2.3.

When I click on View Warning Logs, I get this error.

Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.3.0:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT logid, username, userid, target, targetid, timestamp, type, postid, comment
FROM warnings_log
ORDER BY logid
LIMIT 0,
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '' at line 5
