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)

Fixed a Typo that caused PHP Errors upon Installation
Changed Product ID for Admin CP Navigation XML from vbulletin to aws, so it won't show up any longer if AWS is uninstalled/disabled.

A bug was found which didn't allow you to delete an entered Warning Type. Bug fixed in the current distribution file.

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.

also the instructions say:



when i look in my postbit_legacy i see:

what do i do?

if you use postbit_legacy then yes ...... postbit is the "default" template in 3.5.x .The code sample you posted above tells me you have some other hack installed that involves signatures as that's not "standard" vb's template code.I don't have the time nor the patience to support third party hacks

I don't have the time nor the patience to support third party hacks

good thing im not asking you to support third party hacks. im asking you how do i fit the AWS code into the code i currently have. what should it look like? do i NEED to replace the code? can i add it to the postbit_legacy?

you could try it like this

<if condition="$post['signature'] AND !$vboptions['shownsigs'][$post[userid]] AND $vboptions['shownsigs'][$post[userid]] = true"
AND (($vboptions[warn_sig_thresshold]<0 AND $post[warning_level]>=$vboptions[warn_sig_thresshold]) OR $vboptions[warn_sig_thresshold]==0)">

but i suggest you make you a note there in the code so if it causes errors you can easly find it back

<!-- aws signatures -->
<if condition="$post['signature'] AND !$vboptions['shownsigs'][$post[userid]] AND $vboptions['shownsigs'][$post[userid]] = true
AND (($vboptions[warn_sig_thresshold]<0 AND $post[warning_level]>=$vboptions[warn_sig_thresshold]) OR $vboptions[warn_sig_thresshold]==0)">
<!--end off aws signatures -->

that should get both things working

Is it good for 3.5.4?

[GoTTi]

my users can see the warning levels and points for other users. is that suppose to be that way?

there is a setting that controls that however it's default value is 'mgm' which means managment team (your mods supermods or admins) can see it normal users cannot(unless there own warnings offcource) it's in the warning options page

[GoTTi]

yea its set to mgm, but there are users seeing warnings for others in the postbit.

i use the legacy style.

on the left side, some people are seeing warnings for a user and some arent seeing the warnings.

people,

I have been playing with vbulletin 3.6.0 and i can tell you aws will not work on 3.6.0 and i feel it is pretty useless to port it why ?

well 3.6.0 includes a system called "infractions" which is much more advanced ... also ....

all users who use the aws hack and are planning (or already did) upgrade to 3.6.0 please read this

you'll probably want to uninstall this hack.When you do it will erase all the database settings used BUT VBULLETIN 3.6.0 USES A FIELD WITH THE SAME NAME so ... if this has happend to you run

ALTER TABLE user ADD warnings INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL default '0';

keep tableprefixes in mind ...

I plan on updating to 3.6 like most when it is in final

so, explain again what steps should be done to totally uninstall this hack so nothing goes wrong with 3.6.

I didnt fully understand the above.

Thanks
