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.

History (Productversion)

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.

First of all, this is great, thanks for porting it over.

Now to my minor problem:

Everything went fine up until one of the last edits on the navbar template. I was supposed to find:

PHP Code:

<tr><td class="thead">$vbphrase[miscellaneous]</td></tr> 


but when I search I cant find it anywhere.

So, I dont know where to put:

PHP Code:

tr><td class="thead">Warnings</td></tr>
   <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="Warn.php?$session[sessionurl]do=ViewMyWarnings">View Your Warnings</a></td></tr> 


I dont really know anything about coding, but I tried to put it in the right places and I dont think it worked. Its not supposed to be under the main navbar in a little row of its own is it?

Anyways, everything except this has gone fine and Im not getting any errors, but I'm pretty sure without this part members cant view their warnings, or at least not easily, correct?

Anyway, I know its probably hard to tell from the info given but any help would be appreciated.

The place where that piece of code goes, is inside a drop-down menu called "Quick Links", on the Navbar. The code I provide adds a new line to that menu.

Try finding the word Miscellaneous in the Navbar template.

Something for all you people having issues with errors between functions_warning and other hacks....

Follow the adivce mentioned above about checking to make sure they are the same...and if you can delete them, do so, but if you CAN'T try adding a "2" to the end of the function name and all instances and you may atleast be able to use it till a work around till the problem is fixed

*Only if your confident you understand the code....don't dabble where you shouldn't*

Yeah, thats what the problem is. The skin I have right now doesnt have quick links section in the navbar. I should probably have one added anyway because it is quite convenient, but for now, are there any other locations where memebers can view their warnings?

Current version is now running fine but its not fully phrased.
When will this version be updated so that everywhere phrases are used and we can start translating?

Sure and they can, in each and every post they have posted, there is a button saying "View Your Warnings". Also in the User CP, there is a similar button.

Will this work with 3.51?

[Xplorer4x4]

^yes.

And Sv1, it seems that when I issued an alert the <!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: warn_pm_alert --> tags weere PMed as well.

I get this error:

I had it installed on vB 3.0.7. Is that the problem? And if so does it keep warnings, bans, and settings?
