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

to upgrade read upgrade.txt in the docs directory

24-9-2006

a product depency whas added the system will no longer install on PHP 5 (in response to continued error reports on that PHP version)

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)

what are your settings for signature cut-off and avatar cut-off limits? Make sure they are set to something higher than zero.

Delphi, I am not sure what's the default action if those limits are not set by the admin. You may want to check this out, i.e. make sure that if those limits are not set, then they do not affect the postbit display.

that would be a nice thing to have i'm going to look at it and try

any luck?

there default setting is 0 so that features will be disabled

i did try but it didn't worked as i exspected maybe a link "warn user" in the modcp should be a help to ... my templates are all messed up i do use a testboard so that isn't a real problem.

that stuff is not templated it is within the /modcp/moderation.php and there isn't a hook for it either (at least i can't find one) how about a button nexto ignore "warn user" (or something like that) look at the two screenshots

[phatguy88]

A button would be awesome. Warn the user then get redirected back to the post/thread awaiting moderation.

Edit: CRAP I just realized my board uses vb 3.5, not 3.6. Will your method still work?

Oh, yeah. Thanks. But can you please provide us some maintenance tools to help us rebuild users' warns, alerts,.... in user profiles and update banlist also. I think i'm having problem with user banning. Some of my users should have been automatically banned for 7 days for reaching 3 warnings but it doesn't work properly.

Any helps would be appreciate. Thanks in advance.

So.. I want to warn this guy for reasons only swedish speakers may hope to understand.. (actually, not, but just took screencap to illustrate the obvious lack of AWS links), and well, since they aren't there, how do I get them back there?

You may also wish to fear my awesome skills of arrow-drawing in photoshop.

Everything is working OK now, I just wanna say ?Thanks?

if you have time, I?ll report something it may help:

- The Avatars / Signatures don?t appear after the hack because of this condition:

 <if condition="$post['signature'] AND (($vboptions[warn_sig_thresshold]<0 AND $post[warning_level]>=$vboptions[warn_sig_thresshold]) OR $vboptions[warn_sig_thresshold]==0)">

I?ve modify it to:

 <if condition="$post['signature'] AND ($vboptions[warn_sig_thresshold]<=0 OR $post[warning_level] < $vboptions[warn_sig_thresshold])">

and I did the same with the Avatar condition syntax

- When I was translating the phrases, I found that you are using about 3 variables for same phrase. I think you may reduce them.
Ex: aws_user_warnings_total, aws_warnings, aws_warnings_member_profile and aws_total_warnings_profile are the same phrase

At last, AWS was such an awesome Professional hack. and you make it much easier to use and customize
Thank you both sv1cec & Delphiprogrammi

Best Regards

[sv1cec]

Heh professional? It was my first attempt at learning php and vB. Delphi may be more worth of that compliment than I am.
