Advanced Warning System (Beta Version)

Advanced Warning System


IF YOU ARE RUNNING vB 3.6, THERE IS A NEW THREAD FOR THIS HACK UNDER THAT VERSION. vB 3.6 USERS GO HERE:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=124477


This is a direct port of the Advanced Warning System, as it was implemented in vB 3.0.x. This port has all the features of AWS version 3.4.16, except the Notes.

For a complete description of AWS capabilities, please refer to the following thread:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=574374

The vB 3.5 compliant version of AWS includes:

1 Product XML (17 Plugins, 107 Phrases, 26 Templates, 43 Settings)
1 ACP Navigation XML
1 PHP Functions File
3 Images
2 PHP Frontend Files
1 PHP Admin CP File
1 PHP Mod CP File
3 PHP Cronjob Files

This port would not be possible, without the help of KirbyDE, to whom I am greatful. KirbyDE will also be responsible for supporting you here, with questions related to this particular release. Also, this port would not have been possible, without the help of Juan P hernandez, who offered me a free test system, in which the porting was performed.

The hack has been tested and it is believed to be bug-free, however since this is a major hack, I release it today (September 9th 2005) as beta.

I hope you all enjoy it.

If you found a Bug, please report it at http://bugs.kirbydemos.ath.cx

This helps to keep issues organized, which can't be guaranteed if it's only posted in the Thread.
Thank you.

P.S.1: After you install the hack per the instructions, please update your installation with the separate files listed. They are newer files not included in the zip.

P.S.2: If you want to use the Notes feature, as it existed in AWS 3.4.16, please install AWS per the instructions in the zip file, and THEN follow the instructions included in the warn_notes_update_instructions.txt.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please keep in mind that this hack is not supported. What this means is that I have no obligation to support it. The reason for that, is because I have no access to a vB 3.5 system any more, so I can't work on this hack any more. Andreas (or KirbyDE) who undertook the support of this version of the AWS hack in the beginning, is obviously too busy to support it. So you are on your own, at least as far as the interaction with vB is concerned. If you have an issue with the hack files themselves, I'll do my best to solve it, but without a test environment, it is not easy. So users of vB 3.5 beware!

P.S. May 31st 2006: The zip file uploaded today, should contain all the debugging done by Delphi, so it should be fine as it is. You do not need the other files listed at the right, only the zip. Download it and follow the instructions in it, for installing the hack. I leave the other files there, just in case some one needs them, they will be deleted later.

And then I saw the little code part now when I was going to send it to you.. But, just a small FYI, you've specified you don't want e-mails, unless by the above you meant PM... :P

But the odd thing, it sent a PM even though I didn't have the last PM part added in the template :S

But, thanks for the help!

hi people,

I've found a bug in this system.When you try to warn a user through the user manager in your admincp for a nonpost related warning it will show you "invalid userid input" and not allow you to issue the warning.

this can be solved by folowwing this steps

• goto admincp => plugin system => plugin manager
• click the plugin AWS:Show Warning Info In user Manager
• click the button "large editbox" as we need to edit some code

FIND

PHP Code:

print_description_row("<center><a href="../Warn.php?$session[sessionurl]do=WarnUserNoPost&return=user&id=$user[userid]"> 
    <input type="button" class="button" name="warn" value="Warn $post[username] (non-post related)" accesskey="w" onClick="window.location='../Warn.php?$session[sessionurl]do=WarnUserNoPost&return=user&id=$userid'"></a> 


change to

PHP Code:

print_description_row("<center><a href="../Warn.php?$session[sessionurl]do=WarnUserNoPost&return=user&id=$user[userid]"> 
    <input type="button" class="button" name="warn" value="Warn $post[username] (non-post related)" accesskey="w" onClick="window.location='../Warn.php?$session[sessionurl]do=WarnUserNoPost&return=user&id=$user[userid]'"></a> 


wrong code

$userid should be $user[userid]

save plugin

all done

Thanks Delphi!

Hey. I wonder If you could add a little something that shows that a post has been alerted? So that no-one goes warning that post when it's allready been alerted?

And another question, how come I can't COMPLETELY DELETE soft-deleted/inactive warnings??

[sv1cec]

No, there is nothing that shows that a post has been alerted, but there is a huge red sign which shows that a post has been warned. Maybe I can add another sign there, for alerts. Let me check that.

Inactive warnings cannot be deleted? Do you mean the "Prune Warnings" selection does not work?

Update on the Alert Sign. I can't do it without a test site folks, this requires several changes in the hack, and I did it on the 3.4.xx version, but I can't work on fictional code.

Let me know if the Prune Warnings is what is not working.

[BiReL41r]

Great hack, got it installed!

[ssslippy]

When clicking view someones warning and attempt to remove the warnings I get the invalid userid input also. I cant find where I need to fix this. Anyone got an idea?

After doing some odd research. I have 2 forums, one can do it and one cant. The major different I know is the mySQL version. Im upgrading the the sql version on the one server and will let u know.

[sv1cec]

Check your Warn.php file. Search for:

if($_GET['do']=="RemoveWarning"){

A little below that, there should be some code lines which SHOULD look like this:

if($_GET['id']=="" || !$_GET['id'] || $_GET['id']<=0){
RunError("Invalid User ID Input");
}

Make sure that it looks just like that, if it has something like $_GET['id']>1 or equal to 1, change it so that it looks exactly as above.

remove waring works fine with me

Ok, Im having trouble locating wording within the emails that are sent to members when they get banned. Nothing seems to be in phrases. Ive searched the files, the plugins and no luck.

Where do you find this?
"This is a permanent ban and will last for ever"

Also any other wording in the emails would be helpful also.
