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)

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)

Or are you saying a user was banned, and the account was deleted?

An update, I reinstalled the product. And it seems to be working fine now.

If you have the option "Add Template Name in HTML Comments" in the General Settings set to YES you get the template info in PM and emails:

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: warn_pm_alert -->

Just a heads up

[Brew]

When using the modcp to remove a warning you are redirected to " Viewing Warnings" page instead of going back to the Warning Log.

This is a great mod. I've been having a ball just testing it on a testuser account.

** One thing I would like to see added would be a message sent to the special forum for when a user has his bans/warnings/alerts have been removed/timed out.

Personally I think this mod should be part of the base install of vB. At least something more robust then what they currently have.

Keep up the good work!

hi people,

Well i would be glad to "donate" the code for this hack to vBulletin and i'm pretty sure John (original author) has no problem with that either but i'm afraid that's not going to happen ....

I have a new build of the system ready currently running on my testboard.New features would include

• A spamtrap where you enter words in the same format as the vBulletin censor.When the system catches the words defined more times then the (setting for this) it jumps in blocks the post and issues a warning with a permanent ban
• An option to autolock threads sended to the copyforum
• An option to moderate threads sended to the copyforum

The spamtrap whas suggested to me Sve1cec as he added this to his board
it is meant to catch those spammers who sell ipods, mobile phones etc
I will still need to test for this for a while

[sv1cec]

The spam trap works like a champ in vB 3.0.xx I am using. No more worrying about the spammers. And their posts don't even show. Two pigeons with one shot. And the post doesn't show, and the spammer gets automatically banned!

LoRL, Happy New Year folks.

this is the best hack installed but i want to ask u i am using vb 3.6.4 does it work with it???

[Dr.Viggy]

I installed the old version before on my 3.5.4 boards and it worked fine. I just installed this new one on my 3.6.3 forums and I'm having a bit of an issue. I attached a photo of the problem I'm encountering. I checked all my templates against the instructions twice after the install and can't seem to find it. Any suggestions?

I presume you mean that the options aren't on the admin postbit.

Go into the settings for AWS and check whether you are using the hierarchy system. If so, no-one of the same level or below can add warnings to that user.

I do, however, have my own problem. I have installed this mod but the options aren't appearing in AdminCP. Any suggestions?
