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

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)

There is no "switch" eg a setting that controls this (so you would be allowed to enable / disable it) but you can always edit the templates and remove that code but personally i would recommend not to touch this or comment it out

<!-- this is a comment --> <- the comment ends here

you would have to edit postbit & postbit_legacy and MEMBERINFO as an example look at the attached picture this is my postbit_legacy template (teststyle) i use this for testing things only.Now where did the infraction icons go ? open postbit_legacy and look for

<if condition="$show['infractionlink']"><a href="infraction.php?$session[sessionurl]do=report&amp;p=$post[postid]" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/infraction.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[add_infraction_for_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></if>

replace that with

<!--<if condition="$show['infractionlink']"><a href="infraction.php?$session[sessionurl]do=report&amp;p=$post[postid]" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/infraction.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[add_infraction_for_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></if>-->

look for

<if condition="$show['redcard']">
			<a href="infraction.php?$session[sessionurl]do=view&amp;p=$post[postid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/redcard.gif" alt="$vbphrase[received_infraction]" border="0" /></a>
		<else />
			<if condition="$show['yellowcard']">
				<a href="infraction.php?$session[sessionurl]do=view&amp;p=$post[postid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/yellowcard.gif" alt="$vbphrase[received_warning]" border="0" /></a>
		</if>
			</if>

replace with

<!--<if condition="$show['redcard']">
			<a href="infraction.php?$session[sessionurl]do=view&amp;p=$post[postid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/redcard.gif" alt="$vbphrase[received_infraction]" border="0" /></a>
		<else />
			<if condition="$show['yellowcard']">
				<a href="infraction.php?$session[sessionurl]do=view&amp;p=$post[postid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/yellowcard.gif" alt="$vbphrase[received_warning]" border="0" /></a>
		</if>
			</if>-->

look for

<if condition="$show['infraction']"><div>$vbphrase[infractions]: $post[warnings]/$post[infractions] ($post[ipoints])</div></if>

and replace with

<!--<if condition="$show['infraction']"><div>$vbphrase[infractions]: $post[warnings]/$post[infractions] ($post[ipoints])</div></if>-->

postbit_legacy is done now.This is just an example to get you started.This way the code is never removed if you need it later on you can uncomment it and ...

did you uploaded the file functions_warning.php to your vBulletin includes directory ? also make sure it has the correct permissions and your server / host is not in any way disallowing it's execution (openbase_dir PHP protection is known todo this sometimes)

bugreport ! i've not understood the condition - when it happening, but it happening often...

Look at first comma after VALUES - there is strange... no userid, no username. Why it can be ?

[alexhirurg]

also i want to ask authors - is it possible to embed manual changes to templates to the xml ?
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 ?

Though I wanted to install AWS in 3.5, since it was in Beta, I was using Inferno Warning System. Now I am still continuing with it, though it is not 100% working (adding warnings but not banning).

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.

[sv1cec]

Even though I am no longer directly involved with either the development or the support of AWS, I think I can safely answer your questions. Maybe Delphi can elaborate more on some points, if he feels like it.

1) Can I import the Warning points from Inferno Warning System?

I have no idea how the Inferno Warning System works, but I think it is higlly unlikely. AWS stores the member's warning points in the user table, while the details about each warning are stored in a different table called warnings. Unless the Inferno WS uses the exact same column names in both of these tables, to store the exact same information, there is no way to use the old information you have about your members. Of course, writing a small program to do the import is NOT impossible, but it has to be done by someone who is aware of how the IWS and AWS store their data.

2) Inferno had some warning blocks (green+yellow+red), does your warning levels/points have such blocks/pictures?

Hmm, no AWS doesn't have any "blocks", at least not "visual" blocks, which categorize the member in one of the three categories mentioned. Frankly it's not so difficult to add such a thing, AWS has already some "categories" in the sense that it uses some cut-off limits (avatar cut-off limit, signature cut-off limit, PM cut-off limit).

3) Does every one can see other members warning points and warning reason?

This is a selectable option in AWS. You have the option to allow only Management to see the warning information or everyone, however normal members can NOT see the details for each warning another member has received. Only how many warnings he/she has, how many warning points, how many bans etc.

I hope this helps.

[GoTTi]

im sure this has been answered...

can we upgrade from 3.5.4 to 3.6.x?

[alexhirurg]

Authors Ignorred My Posts ?

[sv1cec]

No, I am not ignoring your question, it's just that I do not have an answer to give you. That obviously should happen when a warning is automatically issued for usage of censored words in a PM. Unformtunately, I do not have a working system to test it and tell you, so you will have to wait for Delphi to check it out.

As for your question about the templates, I am not sure I understand the question. Yes, you can alter a template in the xml file, it's a text file, so you should be able to edit it, but somehow I do not think this is what you are asking.
