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)

you did not follow instructions .. did you rebuild your bitfields and set the usergroups permissions after you installed ? if not that's what you need to do.Rebuilding bitfields can be done in the admincp by going to index.php?do=buildbitfields then usergroups => edit and set the permissions for each group you have for admins you might wanna set that permission to yes

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

No if you warn a member that already has a warning which caused a ban his warning level is just increased i whas still unable to log in (got the banned message) probably your naughty user is bypassing his ban with proxys ?

Thats the first place I checked. I don't see anything wrong. I enabled "Maintain historical records" then tried it again with no luck.

It was working up until 2 days ago. I hope version 3.6.8 didn't break it.

I have more strange issue, I have user get permently banned, because he get aperment ban warning, after one moderator gave him another warning, he moved from perment banned user group to temperaroy banned user group !!

I also have warnings that have matured but didn't get removed when I turned off "Maintain historical records". Before that I also changed he "Warning maturity" to a shorter time frame

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

How do I add the table prefix? My prefix is vb_ =\
