Advanced Warning System (Beta Version) · **Released**: 09-08-2005

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.

There's a bug in this:
On the View Warnings AdminCP, remove warning and complete removal are linked as follows:

http://www.forum.com/forums//admin_w...4&orderstring=

they should be linked as ...forums/admincp/admin_warn.php...

Additionally, when I go to a user's profile in the main forum and I view their warnings, I cannot remove them as it tells me that there is an Invalid User ID.

I know what you mean about the large slabs, I'm the same way.

I'll generally be able to figure out what's changed between what I have and what I'm supposed to replace it with and can hack it accordingly.

For some reason, this thing uses a customized error page and function. That's all fine and dandy, but I like everything to be as consistent as possible

so I modified the warning system to use vB's "standard error" template. It's rather simple, to do so:

Find this code in the includes/functions_warning.php:

PHP Code:


			
function RunError($message)

{

    // Theres probably some globals below not in use, uhm, who cares?

    global $vbulletin, $session, $stylevar, $_POST, $vbphrase,$navbits,$show,$header;

    global $templatecache, $db, $vbulletin, $style,$headinclude,$footer;

    global $tempusagecache, $templateassoc, $pmbox,$pmtext;

        eval('$warn_page .= "' . fetch_template('warn_error') . '";');

    $navbits = construct_navbits($navbits);

    eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');

    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('WARN') . '");');

    exit;

}

And replace it with this:

PHP Code:


			
function RunError($errormessage)

{

    global $vbulletin, $session, $stylevar, $vbphrase, $header;

    global $templatecache, $db, $style, $headinclude, $footer;

    $pagetitle = 'Advanced Warning System - Error!';

    eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');

    exit;

}

You'll notice I removed the globals that weren't needed... I basically played with each one until I found the ones that made the error pages work and the ones that didn't. You can change the text in the $pagetitle part to fit your forum or needs for the window title of the errors (these errors are used when you try to warn on a post that's already been warned assuming you have that disallowed, etc).

My advice to anyone who has a lot of modifications on their forum or a non-default skin would be... careful with the template edits

because with stuff like your postbit or memberinfo templates it's easy to mess stuff up if the code you're supposed to be replacing over isn't exactly as listed in the instructions.

@TJFWeb
Changing the Colspan in this way will not work, view the page as a regular user

If you found a bug, please report it to the bugtracker.

RunError is already removed from the current developement build.

I was wondering if you could give me some advice on customising your hack? (Which in general is VERY good and thanks for making it available).

On the board I admin we don’t use the warning points to trigger suspensions or bans, so I've set everything to figures such as 9999 for number of warnings before someone is automatically banned.

However what I would also like to do is remove (from sight) all mentions of the warning points (not the number of warnings). I've edited postbit to remove the warning points totals, I’ve edited the PM and email templates so they don’t mention the points or points total. However I'm getting stuck on removing the columns that list the various warning points on the "View your warnings" page. Could you give me some pointers on what templates or files I need to edit and what to look for?

As a suggestion, and I've no idea how many people would also find this useful but perhaps a feature for a later version would be something like a "Use points system? - yes or no" and if no is selected the system doesn’t use the points system and all the related points stuff (bans and so on are deactivated).

sv1cec · #**366** 10-27-2005, 10:55 AM

If I understand that correctly, you have one warning point per warning, so your warnings number is equal to your warning points. Am I correct?

The templates which are used for showing the warnings are the warn_view?_....

You should also change the profile templates, so that they do not show the warning points.

Darat · #**367** 10-27-2005, 11:12 AM

Thanks for the reply - what I'm looking to do is remove the columns in teh screengrab attached.

The problem I have is that the view seems to be made up of several templates?

sv1cec · #**368** 10-27-2005, 11:19 AM

The templates are grouped together. In other words:

warn_view_top
warn_view_row
warn_view_end

are the group which shows the warnings. All three have to be edited to remove those columns, when a user checks his own warnings.

When an admin is checking a user warnings, then the templates are the warn_viewb_row, ...top and ...end.

I hope this helps.

When i try to remove warnin from users (i'm have admin permisions):
_http://my.forum/Warn.php?do=RemoveWarning&id=1
I get the followin error:

Quote:

An Error Has Occured!
An error has occured, the following message has been left below:
Invalid User ID Input
[ Back ]

What that mean?

UPDATED
Fogot.... Version AWS 3.5b4

I think that KirbyDE has not updated the distribution file to correct this error. Let's wait for him to answer this, if not, I can email you a different Warn.php file.
