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.

Which Problems, and where exactly did you get the error from Post #166?

[Xplorer4x4]

Yes and post 169. Thanks for the help Kirby.

[Andreas]

I can't help if you don't answer my questions ...

1) Where exactly did you get the errors you described in Posts #166 and #169?

2) Which "user editing" Problems do you have?

[Xplorer4x4]

1)
A)(Post #166)When i warned my friend to test the hack i get this error when i try to remove or Completley remove the warning: 404 Error

B)(Post 169)And then I get this error(Invalid User ID) when trying to use the non post related warning function.

2)I could have been clear on the user editing part. I can not save after making any changes to a user due to a DB error.

If the comment for a warning has quotation marks in it, they'll be displayed as " when a message regarding the warning is posted.

Same issue

Unable To Find Warning Type [ Go Back ]

[sv1cec]

OK, I checked the admin_warn.php code again. It looks as if I have forgotten some code, which is now required by vB.

Try this and let me know if it works:

In admin_warn.php find:

// ###################### Delete Warn Type #######################
if($_GET['act']=="delete")
{
	
	print_cp_header("Advanced Warning System Version {$AWS_VERSION}");
	if(!$warn=$db->query_first("select * from ".TABLE_PREFIX."warning_types where tid='{$_GET['tid']}'"))
	{
		echo "Unable To Find Warning Type [ <a href='javascript:history.go(-1);'>Go Back</a> ]";
		exit;
	}

Replace that with:

// ###################### Delete Warn Type #######################
if($_GET['act']=="delete")
{
		$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('g', array(
		'tid'=> TYPE_INT,
		'warn_name'=> TYPE_STR,
		'warn_desc'=> TYPE_STR,
		'warn_points'=> TYPE_INT,
		'warn_maturity'=> TYPE_INT,
		'warn_permban'=> TYPE_STR,
		'warn_type'=> TYPE_STR,
		'warn_alert'=> TYPE_STR,
		'warn_alertcomment'=> TYPE_STR,
	));
	print_cp_header("Advanced Warning System Version {$AWS_VERSION}");
	if(!$warn=$db->query_first("select * from ".TABLE_PREFIX."warning_types where tid=tid='{$vbulletin->GPC['tid']}'"))
	{
		echo "Unable To Find Warning Type [ <a href='javascript:history.go(-1);'>Go Back</a> ]";
		exit;
	}

Let me know if this solves the issue of deleting a warning type.

[Xplorer4x4]

*goes to test* and ummm it seems that I can now save any edits to users without getting a DB error. I have no idea how that worked itself out:ermm:

EDIT:No that did not fix the issue with removeing a warning TYPE.

Hehe i thought this was the fix to remove warnings from a user.

[EdQ]

Does not work.

I still don't know where you get these errors
Please tell me exactly where you get them, eg.
- Which PHP File
- Where do I have to click
- What do I have to enter.

Thank you.

@acidburn0520
Gonna take a look at that.
