Warnings System Hack v2.1

Latest Version Warnings System Hack v2.1 Can be Found [ Here ]

After a Successful first release i decided to make a more customizeable and more optimizeable Warnings Hack well here it is...

For new installers simply run the auto installer (install_warning.php) and then use the installation_txt.php to make template and file modifications.

For members that have used my version 1.0 simply make the changes listed in the warn_upgade.php then delete all custom templates and run one query listed in the upgrade file. Then run the installer.

Thanks as always for GoldKnight's assistance

Version 2.1?
Comes with the Warning System Settings Inserted Directly into the VBulletin Settings to prevent problems...

Ignore everything after "good morning!". I just ran the installer into step 3 and voila! All working hunkydory.

Pity it wiped my previous warned user list though. With 54,000 members I have to keep this list current and now all the mods will have to start again.

Nice hack. Could possibly be a little bit clearer with the instructions ref the vB settings in the CP and deletion of the warnings config file.

54,000 member... I'm impressed. How old are the forums?

[Okiewan]

Question... if there any way to limit the number of warnings a particular post can get? The mods know to look at the warnings before issuing one, but... I can see it happening, someone getting warned 5 times by 5 mods for the same post. Just a thought.

[g-force2k2]

Okiewan:

open warn.php (2)

find: (1)

PHP Code:

require('./global.php'); 


above it add:

PHP Code:

$temlatesused.= ",warn_error_postwarned"; 


find: (2)

PHP Code:

    if(empty($info[postid])) {
        eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate('warn_error_postnoexist')."\");");
      exit;
      } 


Under it add:

PHP Code:

$getwarn = $DB_site->query_first("
  SELECT postid, type
  FROM warnings_log 
  WHERE postid='$info[postid]'");
if($getwarn[postid] != "") {
  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate('warn_error_postwarned')."\");");
  exit;
} 


Create a new template called:

warn_error_postwarned
-------
Sorry $bbuserinfo[username], but $info[username] was already wanred on this post for $getwarn[type]. Please select a different post to warn.

And that should do the trick Okiewan... sorry i didn't test it yet... just made it up

Capt Prrune sorry to hear ;\ i thought the instrucstions stated that... besides the systems aren't compatible at all... last system was based on pure warnings no matter what the reason.... this one has a warning points system... regards...

g-force2k2,
Thanks for trying but she no work
Multiple warnings on the same post still works.

[C.Birch]

right i have installed the hack and it all works apart from in the admin cp for its settings look at the screen shot to see what i mean.

[g-force2k2]

C.Birch try uninstalling and then reinstalling... if that doesn't work then i will make you an installer to fit your needs... can you tell me what the last settinggroupid is that you've used? regards...
try opening the install_warning.php

find:

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO settinggroup VALUES (NULL, 'Warnings System', 40)");
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL,40, 'Warning Logs Per Page', 'WLOGSpp', '20', 'The number of warning logs to show per page!', '', 1)");
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL,40, 'Register Group', 'REGgroup', '2', 'The usergroupid for the registered usergroup!', '', 2)");
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL,40, 'Maximum Ban Limit', 'BANtot', '25', 'The total amount of warning points before user is banned!', '', 3)");
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL,40, 'Banned by Warnings Group', 'BANgroup', '8', 'The usergroupid for the banned by warnings usergroup', '', 4)");
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL,40, 'No Warning Usergroups', 'NOwarn', '6', 'The usergroupids for the usergroups that can\'t be warned! (seperate each usergroupid by a comma)', '', 5)");
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL,40, 'Can See Warnings Levels', 'CANseewarn', '2,5,6,7', 'The usergroupids for the usergroups that can see the warning levels! (seperate each usergroupid by a comma!', '', 6)");
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL,40, 'Can View Warnings', 'CANview', '5,6,7', 'The usergroupids for the usergroups that can view user warnings! (seperate each usergroupid by a comma)', '', 7)");
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL,40, 'Can Issue Warnings', 'CANwarn', '5,6,7', 'The usergroupids for the usergroups tat can warn users! (seperate each usergroupid by a comma)', '', 8)");
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL,40, 'Email Ban User', 'BANemail', '1', 'Emails the user when they\'re banned by exceeding the ban limit!', 'yesno', 9)"); 


and all of the '40' change to the number of the next settinggroupid... you can check the last settinggroupid by going to admin/setting.php in your browser... regards...

its working now before i tryed it how someone said before to do it turn 40 in to 140 and that never worked but i just turned them in to 42 and that worked because last one was 41. thanx and cool hack

[lynda]

I installed the hack with no problems at all - absolutely everything was working (I ended up uninstalling it because it doesn't look like we really need it yet)

The only two changes I made were I changed 40 to another number...

The other thing looks like it might be an error and might be what's causing the blank pages?

The install.txt file says this:

PHP Code:

open member.php (2)

find: (1)

  $templatesused = "getinfo_sendpm,aol,icq,yahoo,getinfo_birthday,getinfo_customfields,getinfo";

under it add:

// +++++++ Warning Hack 2.0 [ g-force2k2 ] +++++++
  $templatesused = ",warn_getinfo_warning,warn_userinfo";
// +++++++ Warning Hack 2.0 [ g-force2k2 ] +++++++ 


If that's done, if the new $templatesused is added UNDER the current one as the instructions suggest, won't that just overwrite the $templatesused variable nullifying the first one?

I just added warn_getinfo_warning,warn_userinfo to the end of my current templatesused variable, but I think this also would work if you placed it under the first $templatesused variable.. perhaps this is what it's supposed to say?:

PHP Code:

   $templatesused = $templatesused . ",warn_getinfo_warning,warn_userinfo"; 


[g-force2k2]

lynda: thanks for the bug exploit

it won't really effect the hack no... but just change:

PHP Code:

  $templatesused = ",warn_getinfo_warning,warn_userinfo"; 


to this:

PHP Code:

  $templatesused.= ",warn_getinfo_warning,warn_userinfo";
