Warning Hack V1.5

Version 1.5 Note: You must have v1 installed to upgrade, the upgrade process is small so there was no need to write out a fresh install.

It has come to my attention that a "decent" warning system isn't available here on vbulletin.org, which is quite a shame, and because forums like mine, and probably yours need a simple yet advanced warning system to keep things under wraps

Anyway, i thought i might aswell release what i made, prior to me getting off my ass... lol

Administration Features:
View Warning Logs
- Displays all warnings, warned user, warned by, link to the warned post, date, warning type, and the comment specified when the warning was given, and a remove warning link
(Remove will remove the log and also put the members warning level back down in accordance to how much it was increased by the selected warning removed)
Unban Banned Members
- A simple page that you should visit every few days, it will automatically ban any auto banned users by the warning system where there ban time has expired
Warning Options
- Here you can set the following:
-- Number of warn points before member is auto banned
-- Number of days a member is auto banned for
-- View Warnign Types
-- Add Warning Type
-- Add warning type has the following fields:
---- Name/Description/Warn Points Given

Forum Features:
Every post has "Warn [Name]" and "View [Names] Warnings"
These are only accessiable by a member group which is allowed to "moderate" (Moderating groups are auto detected)
Clicking the Warn link will bring you to a page where you view the user your warning, a link to review the warned post, members current warning level, and below the warning types, has a drop down menu to select the warning type, and a text field to put your comment for why this warning is been issued
Upon completing the warning form, the warned user will be Pm'ed from the person who warned them, with the comment put down and a link to the post

View Warnings link will display logs of only that specified user's warnings, the same features as the admin cp warning logs, only just for this user

Members can access only 1 page of the warning system, which is "View My Warnings", this link is added to the quick links drop down menu
Here they simple view there warnings, just like a moderator would, only without the remove warning link

V1.5 Features:
Protectable Usergroups:
No user's in these defined groups can be warned, or banned.
Root Admin Force Protection:
Userid 1 cannot be warned, canned be banned, this is not optional, this is forced for security.
New Unban Members Set Up:
Now displays all currently banned user's, what time they were banned, what time they are supposed to be unbanned. You may unban the user even if there time has not expired (You will be notificed if they have not served the time issued upon ban, but not stopped). Upon unbanning, you choose the members 'new' warning level and the user's usergroup to move them into
Set banned usergroup:
You can now easily choose from a drop down menu which usergroup user's are sent to if after been warned they are banned.

V1.5 Bug Fixes:
- User locations in 'Users online' shown as unknown if they are warning/viewing warnings (Priority: Medium)
- Unban members system renovated and now fully works (Priotity: Maximum)
- No mysql errors upon sending a pm if the PM table had been altered (Priotity: Maximum)
- New protectable usergroups to stop any group of your choice been banned (Priotity: Maximum)
- Last time visited didn't appear when error page occured (Priotity: Low)
- Un-used global in PM function (Priority: Low)

I hope you enjoy the system, my staff teamare very pleased with it and find it of great use, enjoy the hack

Yes, I do believe it's just as good

one last thing. I have it set to ban my users for 5 days, but when I go to view banned users, it says permenent, and when I use the Unban Banned Users function, it doesn't unban the user who was banned as a result of the warning system

this is just like gforce's good old hack, thanx heaps ZT.

I was wonderin if you could display the warning level on the postbit, you know how i like to do things lol. Muhc quicker to reference the points if you can just see it from the thread. thx heaps for it. Can you make it so members can view warnings but not warn? It's kinda pointless if the members can't see where they are on the wraning scale and all start +++++ing when they are banned.

Edit: I got a database error when issuing a warning.

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.0:

Invalid SQL: insert into pmtext values ('','1','deathscythehell','You have been warned','You have been warned for the post: Your Post. Your warning level is now: 4.

It still gives the warning when i view warnings but it gives that message after i finish warning the user.

Also, please hurry up and figure out how I can change permissions so those who I specify cannot see the Warn User link!!!

I do have a problem where an exclamation point in the Notification PM is not being parsed correctly.

you can replace

<a href='Warn.php?do=WarnUser&id=$post[userid]&post=$post[postid]'>Warn $post[musername]</a> ? <a href='Warn.php?do=ViewWarnings&id=$post[userid]'>View $post[musername]'s Warnings</a>
<if condition="$show['postcount']">? #<a

with

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == '6'"><a href='Warn.php?do=WarnUser&id=$post[userid]&post=$post[postid]'>Warn $post[musername]</a> ? <a href='Warn.php?do=ViewWarnings&id=$post[userid]'>View $post[musername]'s Warnings</a> ?</if>
  <if condition="$show['postcount']"> #<a

[drumsy]

How can I allow multiple usergroups, Administrators, Moderators, and Super Moderators?

[msimplay]

just guessing but try this

<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6 AND can_moderate($forum[forumid], '', $bbuserinfo[userid])"><a href='Warn.php?do=WarnUser&id=$post[userid]&post=$post[postid]'>Warn $post[musername]</a> ? <a href='Warn.php?do=ViewWarnings&id=$post[userid]'>View $post[musername]'s Warnings</a> ?</if>
