Do they? I didn't check the instructions, I just went to the test site and checked the template. But in your picture, shouldn't there be something like:

Warnings: 1
Warning Points: 10
Bans: 1

or similar?

Right ... the instructions are a bit misleading.
Gonna clarify them now.

None of those template edits are showing up for me. :-\ As i said I notice all of these when I instaled the template mods but they are not showing up for me, but the warn option is. I coppied and pasted your directions EXACTLY so I do not understand why only the warn link shows up.

Just a note I do have two custom edits to my postbit_Legacy template. One of which is I copied the code for the "top" link at the bottomg of the forum to show up next to the post count number. Also edited it to where thread titles do not show up in the posts them selves. Any chance this could intefere with your edits?

Ok i reverted my postbit_legacy template. This fixed the fast edit problem I was having(not related to this hack). Seeing as I am using my postbit_legacy option are the postbit edits needed?

I assume i just did my template edits wrong again because they turned out liek this: http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/7...tlegacy3fo.jpg

No, postbit edits aren't needed so long as you're only going to use postbit_legacy.

Kirby or sv1cec, I've got a request. Would it be possible to create a dropdown bar on certain Warning Types? Say for example, I've got a Warning Type called "Spam". Let's say that this user I'm warning spammed a lot, infact he was so bad that I'd like to give him more warning points, than the normal amount. Instead of warning him several times for the same offense, I'd like a little dropdown bar for a Level of Severity. Low, Mild, Severe perhaps? Depending on the selection of this dropdown, the user in question could be given 2, 5, 15, etc... points, instead of the standard amount. It sounds like a good idea and if it's not too hard to implement I'm sure other users could also benefit from it.

If this was to be done, it would mean that each warning type no longer carries a fixed points penalty, but a variable one. This is not something easy to implement.

At first approach, it looks as if another field in the warning form, with a "Severity" or "Multiplicity" factor. and then the warning points are multiplied by this factor before being entered in the user's account. However, deep inside, that would require changing the tables, since at this moment, the warning points are not kept in the warnings table, they are read from the Warning Types table, by associating the type of the warning issued with the warning type characteristics.

Why don't you just create some more warning types? For example Spam Level 1, Spam Level 2 and Spam Level "you are out of here"?

Yeah I suppose I could just do that, I just figured I'd throw it out here to see what you thought.

It's not undoable, but it will mean a complete reorganization of the way warnings are handled. So I do not think it will happen. LoL

Just installed this on my testboard, and found the following issues while going through setting up (some might already have been reported, didn't check):
- Setting group called Warning Hack, why not Advanced Warning System?
Settings:
- Use Hierarchical Schema?: Why not allow both pre-defined and manual descriptions?
- Use Warning Type Description, as moderator comment, in Post-Related warnings?: Missing description
- Restore Usergroup: What will happen if this is left blank?
- Send E-mail to the warned member?: Description: 'f both the above options are set to Yes, ....'. This is the first setting of this type, so this remark don't make sense.
- Use Buttons for warning links? What options i can put here? Shouldn't this be a dropdown list?
- What can Moderators see in ModCP?: See previous.
- Protected Usergroups (hidden) : Description 'ATTENTION: These are additional groups, to the ones used by the program.' Which are the groups 'used' by the program?
- Super Moderator Usergroups : Wrong description, talking about Administrators instead of (super) Moderators.
- Moderator Usergroups : See previous
- Message Tag. Should this be a textfield where you can enter a tag, instead of yes/no?
- Save copy of Warning Message in a predefined forum? / Forum in which the message will be saved? Can't these 2 be combined? If forumid is given, this option is turned on.

Will post more later if i have time.

That's what it was initially called, no one bothered to change it.

I am not sure if I understand that. Hierarchical means that moderators can warn normal members, super moderators can warn moderators and members, while admins can warn anyone. If hierarchical is set to no, then admins/mods/smods can only warn normal members, not each other.

Maybe it was ommited in porting? KirbyDE can you have a look at this?

It can't be left blank, you have to select an option from the drop-down menu.

NOW I FIGURE THIS OUT. You are trying to edit the options from the VBulletin Options menus. No, no, at the left of your screen there is a new menu group called "Warning System". Open it up and use the "Manage Warning Options" from that menu.

Sorry, but I think this is included in the instructions, at least it was in the 3.x.x version. Use that menu for anything related to AWS.
