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...

just ignore the line "warnconfig.php (admin directory)"

that file doesnt exist anymore ^^

You can make a user group later. But its not needed for instalation. It's an option in the control panel. ^^ see attached picture ^^

So the user group can be changed later on anyways ^^ i did all that last :bunny:

:banana:

This hack is just gold, and was very easy to install. I gave my moderators the Warn options in the Mod CP, and they're loving it (perfect for keeping track of who has been banned, been warned and why. Thanks!

What kind of query can I run to clear out the "40" portion. It seems like unless you do this install right the first time, I'm jinxed to this error, and I don't know how to go about doing the switching the number to 99 or so. What can I do to clear that out and start a-fresh???

[ryans]

in the instructions you say upload warnconfig.php but in your zip file there is no such file?

[drumsy]

There is no need for warnconfig. Originally, you would have to edit the group ID number for the "Banned by Warning" group in the warnconfig.php file, but now all you do is updated it under vBulletin Options > Warnings System in the Admin CP

Also, a fix for those of you who have installed it, uninstalled it, and get the "40" error.

In install_warning.php find:

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("DELETE FROM settinggroup WHERE displayorder=44");
$DB_site->query("DELETE FROM setting WHERE settinggroupid=44"); 


and replace with:

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("DELETE FROM settinggroup WHERE displayorder=40");
$DB_site->query("DELETE FROM setting WHERE settinggroupid=40"); 


Upload to your admin directory and now you can install/uninstall at your whim without worrying about getting the "40" error.

Ok, great! I got it working, well mostly. Now when I go to warn a user the warn box comes up and I put in the warning text. After hitting submit it goes to the next page and says this:

Please go back and fill in the reason for warning and then resubmit!

I checked the source on the page it looks correct:

<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" bgcolor="#cfd7e0"><tr>
<form action="/boards/warn.php" method=post>
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="insert_warn">
<input type="hidden" name="postid" value="xxxx"> "x'd out for security reasons"
<input type="hidden" name="userid" value="xxx">
<td bgcolor="#1B1B4B" align="center"><font face="arial, helvetica" size="2" color="#EEEEFF"><b>Warning ryanstest</b></font></td></tr><tr>
<td bgcolor="#879CB4"><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="1" color="#000000">Reason for Warning:<br><input type="text" name="reason" value="" maxlength="100" size="30">
<!-- go button -->
<input type="image" src="images/new/go.gif" border="0"
align="absbottom"></td></tr><tr>
<td bgcolor="#B4C0CF"><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="1" color="#000000">Send Warning PM to User?&nbsp;<input type="checkbox" name="dowarnpm" value="yes" CHECKED></td></form></tr><tr>
<td bgcolor="#879CB4" align="center"><font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="1" color="#000000"><a href="javascript:window.close();">[ Close Window ]</a></font></td></tr></table>
