Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Advanced Warning System 3.6.7

Advaned Warning System

This is a port of aws and i release this with permission...(yes i did ask the original author)

This version of the warning includes

• 1 vbulletin 3.6.x product file (XML)
• 1 admincp navigation XML
• 1 functions file(functions_warning.php)
• 3 images
• 3 cronjobs
• 1 modcp file to allow moderators to view warnings information without having to give admincp access(mod_warn.php)
• 1 admincp file to manage the system options(admin_warn.php)
• 1 XML to control permissions(bitfield_aws.xml)

For a completer list of the system features you can refer to this

This version will also require vbulletin 3.6.x to run.If you run 3.5.x or any other release then 3.6.x you will see a message.

This system is tested for a long time and i believe it's stable enough for a public release HOWEVER since this is a major hack and i'm just human please consider this first public run still as "beta"

instructions ow howto install can be found in the docs directory within the zip

statistics

• 25 plugins
• 27 templates
• 5 new MySQL tables
• 3 standard vbulletin tables alterd (user,post,and usergroup)
• 827 phrases
• 47 settings

updates

A problem has been found where no link is provided to view your own warnings(normal users) in the member profile only i fixed this.To get the fix you will need to reedit your "MEMBERINFO" template and reimport product-aws.xml (set allow overwrite to yes)

I moved the cron jobs from the install/uinstall code to the product file.
version check url now uses https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/misc.php?...rsion&t=124477

to upgrade read upgrade.txt in the docs directory

24-9-2006

a product depency whas added the system will no longer install on PHP 5 (in response to continued error reports on that PHP version)

People on PHP 5 can follow this instructions to avoid the PHP version related error message BUT remember you are on your own if you do this.I won't upgrade my PHP until PHP 5 is there main stable release (www.php.net)


1-1-2007
A bug has been reported in the system.This bug whas causing vbulletin to throw an error when you try to use admincp => users=> add a new user

Fatal error: Call to a member function clean_gpc() on a non-object in class_dm_user.php(2385) : eval()'d code on line 35

Solution

Edit plugin "AWS:warn link in usermanager" and replace all code with this

PHP Code:

$quicklinks["../Warn.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=WarnUserNoPost&id=" . $vbulletin->GPC['userid']] = $vbphrase['aws_warn_user_admin']; 


i'll update the package when i get home


Another Bug is fixed

This release includes a fix for the problem "call to member function on a non object class_dm_user.php)" when you try to add a new user manaually (after submitting the form)

Now I am planning to switch to AWS 3.6.1, before that some queries:

1) Can I import the Warning points from Inferno Warning System?
2) Inferno had some warning blocks (green+yellow+red), does your warning levels/points have such blocks/pictures?
3) Does every one can see other members warning points and warning reason?

Thanks for your support.

1)nope
2)nope
3)No only mods and up and the warned person (his own only)

like as parse_templates plugin, or - i don't know the way to change templates in install/uninstall scripts - may be somebody know ?
only one way that i can invent - get it by fetch_template, change and store directly to the database by SQL query..
Any thinks ?

I think you mean to have the template edits automated ? i think that would be impossible

hi people,

I have added a new thing.Using the new "adminmessage" system that whas introduced by jelsoft in one of 3.6.x beta's don't remember exactely which one.When you install the system (a complete new install not an upgrade) you will see a message on what todo next toget the system working on your board.This is most to help new vBulletin "modding" users to get started quickly and when you uninstall the system you will see a message telling you which file(s) are save to remove from your server

Thanks for great hack.

I installed it,and works fine,but since installing it,we cannot see avatars or signatures anymore!!!

I am using Postbit and not postbit_legacy

Thanks for help in advance.

ey don't yell that's completely normal.There is a setting in your warning options that controls this."Avatar Cut Off limit" and "Signature Cutoff Limit" set both to "0" (zero) if you want to ALWAYS allow (regardless off any warnings) members to keep there avatar and signature)

Is it possible to moderators warn other moderators using this hack? If not, would it be possible in a near future?

No Not By Default But You Could Try Removing The Moderator's Usergroup From The Protected Usergroups ....

I think that using preg_replace() and other string funcs will help to do it automatically
but i've asked - is this possible to transfer changing templates to the plugin that will hook entry named "parse_templates" ?
I did it in mine 2 plugins w/o any hard work... but your have many changes, of course...

$vbulletin->templatecache[] = str_replace() ...... and so on BUT you have to "give" a comment string on where to insert the changes.Because this system contains many changes this is something you have todo by hand.I think you have to first insert a comment into the template(s) that need to be modified then vBulletin can "parse" them through that hook.I've seen it done in other mods

<!-- this is a comment -->

or a "unique" part of the code will do to
