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.

It really does not make a difference, but as pointed out, it does make it seem more integrated.

As to why i want to do it, I just like to help out, and I am going to be that damn bored tonight! lol.

[sv1cec]

I do not know if it makes it more integrated or not. If you are working on a Unix box, the upper and lower case letters make a difference, i.e. warn.php and Warn.php are two different files, in a Windoze box, it would be the same. The fact that vB uses all lower case file names, doesn't mean that we all have to do so.

By all means, if you prefer it that way, go ahead and do the changes, but for me, I prefer it that way. It moves Warn.php to the top of my files whose names start with W, so it's easier to go to that file, when I use ftp or whatever.

When your codding just about anything in general it is always case sensitive.

No one said you have to do it with lowercase; don't be so lazy and look for it. In my case it moves it to the very top of all my files.

I'll keep that in my mind, thanks!

How many other files in /forums/ start with W?

w or W, it will be at the top of the list that start with W.

Hi.

I upgraded from 3.5 RC3 to 3.5 gold and i am getting this error now when i click on a post.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: construct_warning_display() in /home/carzone/public_html/forum/includes/class_postbit.php(279) : eval()'d code on line 16

:disappointed:

[Andreas]

We don't use such a function anywhere ... do we sv1cec?

[Xplorer4x4]

Is the zip file atached completley up to date as far as bugs that have been fixed, and those template changes you guys mentioned?

[Andreas]

Not fully. A new Version will be avialable soon.
