updated yes but where is the actual hack, cos its not in the 1st post?

2 minutes, I'll upload it

Sorry folks, last minute bug has reared it's ugly head - just fixing now - 5 more minutes...

ok bug (hopefully) fixed :)

v1.1 is now available for download

sweet new version is great.... :)

Personally, I don't like the punch starts even if Cancel is clicked on prompt window... if I click erroneously the user gets punched because I can't undo my action... that's not good for me, not intuitive ("cancel" usually means "cancel action"). I've changed "do_punch" to suit my needs: if (message != null) then punch else don't do anyting :)

I'll add also an alert box to confirm that punch was sent (no errors) because some browsers (eg. firefox by default) don't allow status bar text changing via javascript :)


Keep testing it... btw good idea :)

Security checks should be hardened... I was able to send a punch even if I'm not logged in. Try to write the url with the querystring and the user receive a PM from a "non registered" user...

http://[forum_root]/vbpunch.php?punch=[YourUserId]&postid=1&warning=message

A workaround that seems to work (but I don't think is the right way):

In vbpunch.php replace:
with:

Osmosis: Thanks for pointing that out, I forgot to add "$permissions['vbpunch']" in vbpunch.php - an oversight on my part :) I'll fix it in the next release.

hey I uninstalled everything cause I dont think it worked for me so now when I went to edit a usergroup it said this:

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'vbpunch' in 'field list'

its bringing up an error when I save and it says unknown column 'vbpunch in 'field list', how do I remove that ?

some help please ^

Awesome sounding hack. I might install if my board gets bigger.

Just checked, and I have 1.0 installed. Timeeee to upgrade!

rb290: Did you remember to delete the bitfield_vbpunch.xml file from the /includes/xml/ directory?

Danny: 'bout time :D

im getting the same error and yes i already deleted that file.

For anyone getting the error when editing usergroups after uninstalling, please rebuild the bitfields by following the instructions here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=92592

For future un-installers, please remove the files uploaded (in particular bitfield_vbpunch.xml), before un-installing the product from the AdminCP.

nevermind read above post :)

the upgrade instructions say to remove our postbit changes before installing. Is that really necessary to upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2?

The previous version worked great, this new 1.2 version gives me problems. Using vBulletin 3.5.1

I re-uploaded all new files. Re-imported the product XML, set to overwrite old one.

Still says version 1.1 in the product page. I even re-build bitfields, and replaced the html in the templates again. Every single thread becomes completely unreadable with an error that states:

Parse error: parse error in /pathtomyforums/showthread.php(96) : eval()'d code on line 28

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /pathtomyforums/showthread.php(96) : eval()'d code
Line: 28

i get this error when I go into a thread:

"Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/thug/public_html/showthread.php(96) : eval()'d code on line 220

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/thug/public_html/showthread.php(96) : eval()'d code:220) in /includes/functions.php on line 2342

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/thug/public_html/showthread.php(96) : eval()'d code:220) in /includes/functions.php on line 2349"

I have this error "showthread.php(96) : eval()'d code on line 28" any ideas ?

Hey all,

For those experiencing the error "Parse error: parse error in /pathtomyforums/showthread.php(96) : eval()'d code on line 28" please install the attached, updated, product XML, ensuring that you set "Allow Overrite" to yes.

This should fix the problem.

Thanks,
Alan.

Hi Alan,

Yes that fixed it. Thank you very much. :-)

Is there a way to add more than one message to this so you can just tick which message you want sent? Like more than one default message.

Boofo,

Not easily in it's current state. I'll look into adding that feature into the next version.

Yeah that would be a cool addition.

Btw, bug fixed with that last file! Thanks so much!

Ah works now :)

Thanks :)

Juzmi: Good to hear :)

Okay when i send a user a punch.. it does not show a new PM message.... but if you go into your PM box it shows it.. any reason why it would do this>

Juzmi: Sorry, didn't see your message - I'll look into this.

Everyone: Anyone got any feature requests for the next version? I plan on starting work on it next week.

yea same here ran a test on my test user , went into pm and found all of the punches...lol i'll wait for the fix.... :ermm:

I believe that this mod only misses the options to choose in how many warnings the user will be banned permanently or for a short time. Sure I can use the other mod but I like simplicity and of course AJAX :-)

Very nice modification, indeed. I modified this modification a bit, and this is what I got:

A 'Punch X' in the user menu

If you want to do this, find the following in the postbit / postbit_legacy template:

Add after:

Add the phrase:

punch_x_user
Punch {1}

Done! :)

By the way, to the developer:

Bug? My PM count doesn't get updated when the PM is sent (nor do I receive the new pm notice).

Hi,

Writing a full fledged Warning system based of vBPunch has always been on my todo list, and still is. Unfortunatly, there are many many things above it on my todo list :D

Thanks, I've added it to the vBPunch todo list :)

Same here, installed it on 3.5.2...great hack man

any updates with the problem when sending pm's

thanks

Sorry, but I've been unable to reproduce this.

I've done various tests on my forum (3.5.2) and it all works fine. When I punch a user, they recieve the PM popup if they have it enabled, and recieve an e-mail about the new PM if they have that enabled.

Thanks,
Alan.

n e one has a couple screen shot or a demo ? i'de love to know how it looks

will, i checked that out and it's activated so i did a test run it won't show either the pop-up or it won't show that that the user received a pm upon using the vbpunch..

any idea's :ermm:

My board's running on vb 3.5.2 also, is it possible that I can't see 'punch' icons at all?

They're shown in the 'preview' of template, but not at the forum...
