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.

Either way the Yahoo Icon was the least of my worries....what about the database error? :-\ I haven't seen anyone else report it.

Anyways thanks all three of you for portin this. Zero's hack for 3.5 is an exact replica of the Invision Free warning sytem. This is much nicer and organized IMO.

It for sure does not delete anything - unless you uninstall it.

Well, I can't help you as I don't know what could be going wrong.
Feel fre to send me a PM with an AdminCP account and i'll take a look.

@Chad F.
Confirmed.
Please report this as a Bug so it won't get lost.

Just wondering if you have looked into this at all or made progress on it.

(being able to specify which user groups can use the warning system, i only wanted admins and super mods)

[Andreas]

No. As said, i'll might look into this for future Versions but not any time soon.

The database errors show that at least two columns, the warnings and the alerts, are missing from your user table. You can manually create them, by running the following query:

ALTER TABLE `".TABLE_PREFIX."user` add `warnings` int(5) default '0', add `alerts` int(5) default '0'

But I would suggest that you verify that no other columns are missing. These are the columns that AWS adds to your user table.

`warnings` int(5) default '0',
`warning_level` int(15) default '0',
`warning_bans` int(2) default '0',
`alerts` int(5) default '0',

Ok well i gave Kirby and Admin acount which I already deleted. Kirby got this instaled but there is still a problem. When i warned my friend to test the hack i get this error when i try to remove or Completley remove the warning:

Not Found

The requested URL /forums//admin_warn.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Thanks again Kirby but how can i remove the warning?

[sv1cec]

admin_warn.php is supposed to be in admincp directory, I do not see it there in the error. Maybe you have not defined it? If I am not mistaken, that is defined in config.php or something.

[Xplorer4x4]

How would I define it? I tried the configuration below:

PHP Code:

 $config['Misc']['admincpdir'] = '/forums/admincp'; 


And this did not seem to change anything. I tried logging out of my ACP and logging in and this did not resolve it.

Thanks

[Xplorer4x4]

An error has occured, the following message has been left below:

Invalid User ID Input

And then I get this error when trying to use the non post related warning function.

Als note that this was my previous configuration:

PHP Code:

$config['Misc']['admincpdir'] = 'admincp'; 


[Xplorer4x4]

I know this hack is causing my user editing problem because if i disable the warning hack then it works fine.

Help please? Thanks.
