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)

That vulnerability was fixed in 3.6.10, I believe, if you're reluctant to upgrade to 3.7.0.

[Magnumutz]

Would be great if anyone could take-over this modification in the absence of the author and successfully port it into 3.7 and even improve it.

[sv1cec]

I am reluctant to upgrade to anything. I do not need the extra functionality of newer releases, but I've been paying Jelsoft annual subscription because of one reason only: I wanted to be sure that in case a security issue was found, I would have the necessary fix for my site. I've been paying them all those years, just for that.

When this vulnerability was announced (and the vulnerability was fixed with vB 3.6.10 and vB 3.7) I contacted Jelsoft complaining about the fact that they didn't issue a security fix for 3.0. Guess what? Next day they announced the end of life of vB 3.0. So no more support. As if this was not a security issue but a simple bug fix. That's how Jelsoft treats its customers.

In any case, if I decide to upgrade my site to 3.7, I might work on AWS again. I'll need it for my site and over the years since I stopped working on it, I've improved it greatly. Unfortunately, this will take some time, since I need to first familiarize myself with the new coding acrhitecture of vB, as it has been implemented in vB 3.5 and later releases.

So folks, please do not hold your breath.

[pedroenf]

Yes!! Can't wait for the release!

[chennairam]

Good mood.. but any update for Vb 3.7.0 ? it s better good

[sv1cec]

Sorry, not from my side. I still do not have a site with 3.7.x to start working on it.
If someone can provide me access to a test site with the latest release of vB, I could start working on this.

[pnosko31]

I was looking over this mod as i was thinking of using it and discovered in mysql it creates a table called vb_warningtype and in the file in some spots it tries to use the database vb_warning_types - that may cause some problems you are having

[sv1cec]

The Warning Types table should be named "warning_types". If it is created with "warningtypes" as a name, the hack will NOT work.
