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.

1. No, vB provides tools for that

Thanks sv1cec for your reply can you point for me where in the code I can add the soft-delete command.

Only if a user has warning points, they will show. Users with no warning points show nothing.

If you implement such a thing, every post that receives a warning, will be deleted. You do not want to do that, some posts can be warned for reasons which do not guarantee their deletion.

Everything is possible, but with the link provided, the user can click on it and see where his post was, in which forum and in which thread.

Yes, I know, this is my aim.

So can you guide me where I can place the delete code for the warned post or thread?

Since I'm manulay deleting the post after warning the poster, the poster will not be able to see the deleted post.

So, can you guide me on how I can put the thread's title in the PM?

I'LL APRECIATE YOUR HELP

[sv1cec]

Sorry, I just do not have the time to help you on that.

If you want the poster to see the warned post, activate the option, which includes the warned post, in the PM send to the warned member. Even if you then delete the post, it will be included in the send PM.

hi people,

I'm still alive.My site is upgraded to 3.6 but i don't understand how the "infractions" system works to complacated if you ask me.SOw i'm thingking of getting aws to 3.6 some changes needed for this through

[phiber]

I don't understand.. I have installed the product, but it didn't modificate the postbit_legacy template.. for example:

5. Edit your postbit_legacy template and find:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='showthread' AND $buttons=='Text'">
<if condition="$showwarnlink==1">

Below that, add:

<if condition="$vbulletin->options['warn_allownotes']==1">
<a href='Warn.php?do=NoteUser&id=$post[userid]&post=$post[postid]'>Add Note for $post[username]</a>&nbsp;</if>

In the same template find:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='showthread' AND $buttons=='Buttons'">
<if condition="$showwarnlink==1">

I don't find that in my postbit.. what should I do?
Thanks and sorry for my english!

If you decide to do this, I will gladly help you with the beta testing as this is a mod I will miss having.

[AzzidReign]

Thanks! I've been issueing verbal warnings...but lost track of who I was warning and who I wasnt!

Also, I'm getting a weird thing going with the posts...they are being centered or something.... anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix?
