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)

Hi again

when I viewed a warnings of a user I can't figure the diference between warnings and alerts because they mixed in the report !!

How I can make difference betwen them when display the report?

I am not sure if I am getting my point across.

Using historical data.
Warning Level is removed when matured
Warning is never removed (Not what I want)
Warning Bans stay until matured.

Not using historical data.
Warning Level is removed when matured
Warning is removed when matured
Warning Bans are removed when the ban ends. (Not what I want)

What I would like to see if either the warning or ban matures. It drops off the users account.

set ban maturity to 0then the bans stay in the members account forever that is not ideal but *close* to what you want

[EdQ]

OK, so by using no historical data. Bans will stay in the members account forever when setting maturity to zero?
I can work with that.

I still can't change Warning Limit to any other number besides 10, if there another way to change this without fixing the glitch? I really need it fixed asap. =\

If I reinstalled would it flush all old warnings?

try to run this

[SQL]
UPDATE setting SET value='the_number_you_want' WHERE varname='warn_warnings_before_banned';
[/SQL]

if you use a table prefix you must add it accordingly that will be the most "fast" way to get it the way you want

I get strange problem, I have user gets warning's for his bad posts, and he get baned for that, but one of moderators give him another warning for another post, after this he get back and the baning is lefted !!

this happens 3 times with 3 members !! (I have alot of bad guys in my forum )

[EdQ]

I noticed that the kill warning cron job isn't running. I manually run it, but no warnings are removed. There are no errors in the log. And it doesn't say done when I run it.
