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.

I installed Inferno (sorry to bring it up again) RPG hack..

I renamed all the instances of sendpm to sendpmaws, all the runerror to runerroraws and all the parseinput to parseinputaws

Everything works fine now with both AWS and the RPG hack.. At least from what I have seen so far.. There has been one issue however.. When I click view my warnings or view another users warnings, ALL I get is a blank screen...

Any ideas???

*EDIT* Actually I fixed it by removing the 3 function settings of sendpm, runerror, and parseinput from the aws' functions_warnings.php.. But I guess AWS is dependant on the RPG hack for now then

Are you sure that the AWS functions and the RPG functions are identical? I mean they should be called with the same parameters list and should return the exact same thing. Are you sure they are?

No I am not.. Everything is working as far as I can see... Should I do something that might return an error to test it?

[akanevsky]

Is ever going to be a non-beta?

[sv1cec]

Hopefully!

[TTG]

anyone having problems with this on the latest release 3.5.4 ?

sv1cec,

I know your not diong too much with this anymore. But since the upgrade to the newest version its broken my Inferno Quiz Apparently other people are having the same problems ...

We get the error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare sendpm() (previously declared in /home/exitilus/public_html/forums/quiz.php:139) in /home/exitilus/public_html/forums/includes/functions_warning.php on line 23

Any plans on a fix? Just curious

FYI.. DO NOT do this.. Doing this somehow started PMs just generating in the PM and PMTEXT tables.. In about a 24 hour period, about 60000 invalid PMs occured.. If only this conflict between inferno and this author in regards to using the same function names, would be fixed, then this would be my warning hack of choice.. Unfortunately, I have grown tired attempting to get this to work with the RPG and Quiz hacks... I have to go with the Inferno Warning System, which I def do not like as much.

I have to uninstall, but I am leaving it checked as installed so I may hear of an update to fix this conflict

Well I have given him full access to a test board, so when he gets time he will be able to test everything out.


@ John: also, if you need anything else, let me know and ill do it as soon as i can.

Thanks

[sv1cec]

@hornstar1337: Thanks for the test site, I am working on it as I find the time.

@MorrisMcD, @Exitilus: If you do the renaming properly, there is no reason why this would happen. I may rename those routines in the new version, but this is the last of my priorities. Did you ask Inferno for a solution too? What did they say? And this is not a new problem, it's been known since the previous version of AWS.

@all, I am currently trying to figure out, why on earth trying to delete a warning from AdminCP comes up with a blank screen. And please remember to let me know what other issues you have. If not, I'll never be able to deal with them.
