Inferno Warning System v1.3

Well this was created purely for my own self and staff needs, but i'm sure you guys and gals will need a warning system to keep control over any member that doesn't wish to follow your rules.

The previews pretty much tell you all the features available, one that isn't shown is that the graphical representation of warnings will be displayed in a members profile, so that you may warn members via their profile or post(s).

v1.1 Updates:
- You can now enter a "Reason To Show User" input, this message is shown for users who are banned.
- Minor gramatical error in the ACP options.

v1.2 Updates:
- Missing template added (minor)
- WOL Fixed (minor)
- Unable to warn user via profile more than once if warn duplcation was not allowed (high)
- Ability to remove warnings
- ACP option to allow/disallow staff to remove warnings
- Warn log stretched page if it was large

1.3 Updates:
- Bug Fix: Warning points to be given were not consistant with maximum points allowed (the drop down menu went from 0 - 10 no matter what)
- Bug Fix: Those who cannot recieve PMs (either via turning it off themselves or due to other permissions) resulted in an error when you tried to warn them, this no longer happens but the PM will not send.
- Added new flexible warning expirations 'Hour' (Allows you to make the warnings expire in hours aswell as days/months)
- Added extensive flexible ban times (Now allowed to ban a user for x hours/days/months)
- Added post modifier notice (Allows the staff member to automatically add a notice to the top of the users post, allowing others to see that the post was warned)

Enjoy

Just started on installing my new board.

I finished installing this hack (made some language mods to it because my forum is dutch :P)

All works fine but I still have some requests:
- Is it possible that when a user is warned it can auto generate a post in a designated forum with the warning info in it (like what post is warned, number of points, reason and stuff?
- Is it possible that when you ban a user he/she gets a mail from the board and not only the message when he/she tries to log on to the board?

On my old forum (vb3.0.7) I used the advanced warning hack. It didnt look as good as this one but had those functions and I use them freqeuntly. Therefor my requests.

CarpHunter plus anyone who wants to chime in...

How come you're changing or looking to change(?) from the "advanced warning" hack? I'm trying to find out the differences between that hack and this one so I can make a choice.

Thanks in advance.

How can I edit an existing warning ?

To those complaining about removing warnings but still having the user come up banned, I found the quick as hell fix after reading through all of the posts here trying to find an answer. Look in warn.php and find the following:

	if ($Warn['w_adjust'] == 'minus')
	{
		$Warn['inferno_warn_level'] += $Warn['w_amount'];
	}

replace with:

	if ($Warn['w_adjust'] == 'minus')
	{
		$Warn['inferno_warn_level'] -= $Warn['w_amount'];
	}

Save, reupload if needed. May need to go to Inferno Warning System in vB's drop down menu so it reloads. One site I had it on needed that last step, the other didn't.

On our forums, we use a the plugin that sends reported posts to a forum. As a result, all potential warnings are more of a group decision than an individual action. Would it be possible to set up this extension so that when a warning is given out, instead of saying which user gave the warning, it is issued by 'Administrative Staff' or something like that?

Ooh@ HOTM!



Thanks!

Another idea for an addition - I'd like a deal set up so that whenever a warning is issued, a post is made in a thread that gives the details of the warning... User, warning level, reason, etc.

I could probably figure this one out on my own, but I think it would be a nifty addition to this mod.

Do I have to adjust the template individually for each skin as when I search for postbit_legacy it gives me one for each skin, is there any way I can do it in 1 and it works for all of them ?

Hi,

Truly Great Mod!!!! a question which I didn't see answer for and hope i didn't just miss it.

Would it be possible to add a summary/stats page into this mod that would show admins/mods who's currently being warned/banned??? I think that would be extremely useful...

Thanks Again

Jeff
