Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Advanced Warning System 3.6.7

Advaned Warning System

This is a port of aws and i release this with permission...(yes i did ask the original author)

This version of the warning includes

• 1 vbulletin 3.6.x product file (XML)
• 1 admincp navigation XML
• 1 functions file(functions_warning.php)
• 3 images
• 3 cronjobs
• 1 modcp file to allow moderators to view warnings information without having to give admincp access(mod_warn.php)
• 1 admincp file to manage the system options(admin_warn.php)
• 1 XML to control permissions(bitfield_aws.xml)

For a completer list of the system features you can refer to this

This version will also require vbulletin 3.6.x to run.If you run 3.5.x or any other release then 3.6.x you will see a message.

This system is tested for a long time and i believe it's stable enough for a public release HOWEVER since this is a major hack and i'm just human please consider this first public run still as "beta"

instructions ow howto install can be found in the docs directory within the zip

statistics

• 25 plugins
• 27 templates
• 5 new MySQL tables
• 3 standard vbulletin tables alterd (user,post,and usergroup)
• 827 phrases
• 47 settings

updates

A problem has been found where no link is provided to view your own warnings(normal users) in the member profile only i fixed this.To get the fix you will need to reedit your "MEMBERINFO" template and reimport product-aws.xml (set allow overwrite to yes)

People on PHP 5 can follow this instructions to avoid the PHP version related error message BUT remember you are on your own if you do this.I won't upgrade my PHP until PHP 5 is there main stable release (www.php.net)


1-1-2007
A bug has been reported in the system.This bug whas causing vbulletin to throw an error when you try to use admincp => users=> add a new user

Fatal error: Call to a member function clean_gpc() on a non-object in class_dm_user.php(2385) : eval()'d code on line 35

Solution

Edit plugin "AWS:warn link in usermanager" and replace all code with this

PHP Code:

$quicklinks["../Warn.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=WarnUserNoPost&id=" . $vbulletin->GPC['userid']] = $vbphrase['aws_warn_user_admin']; 


i'll update the package when i get home


Another Bug is fixed

This release includes a fix for the problem "call to member function on a non object class_dm_user.php)" when you try to add a new user manaually (after submitting the form)

PHP Code:

You do not enter sufficient symbols into the  comment field to issue warning. 


And this warning looks like this:

Any clues?

when you warn a user the moderator comments field must contain whatever you have defined as minium comment length

admincp => Advanced Warning System => manage warning options => automation options => Use warning type description, as moderator comment, in post-related warnings => No

that will restore the field

Oh... my bad, thanks. This worked like a charm

[SilverBoy]

thanks for your help, actually iam familiar with AWS from ages, I upgraded to vb3.6.7 last week and I was working with 3.0.x for a while and installed AWS, and not upgraded my vBulletin version until I get your port of the original hack.

Any way, let me continue debuging with u (Iam computer engineer )

1- now kill alert cron job works without errors.
2- Iam not testing remove warning yet.
3- Iam sure I put view warning for mgm not all, and my test account have permission to view warning as you suggest, for template Iam sure from my installation, and no way to mistake because viewing warnings page installed with product not just manual editing.

I checked the Warn.php file and find the error for no permissin page

if($_GET['do'] != 'viewmywarnings')
{
	if(!can_moderate())
	{
		print_no_permission();
	}
}

from this part of code you can note only admins, mods and supermods can view page, so it's work as it designed, and that's why my test account get this error even with all right permisions.

and I will repeate, in showthread page, the user who warned can see how many warning, alerts, .... for all users which reply in the same page, and if the thread destributed on alot of pages he can see that information only in the page that get warning in the post he out in it, or maybe that happend because he is the starter of the thread !!

4- for error message when give warning for a user, I remove one errors by let private messages in my board have no character limit (It was 1600 character) and I think you have to look on this case.
but the other one still remains, because some users can't use PM yet (less than 10 posts) and I dont want to use email feature, because in old version it sends the email of the warner and I don't to let my users to know the personals emails of my staff.

[SilverBoy]

I solved one problem

if($_GET['do'] != 'viewmywarnings')
{
	if(!can_moderate())
	{
		print_no_permission();
	}
}

again you have capital letters missed

[SilverBoy]

I tried removing warning and redirect works ok.

now I can say the problem of seeing other users warnings exist because the user is the starter of the thread and get warning in it !!! (but only in the first page of the thread)

another point

when give a user warning we missed warning level in "Current warnings info:" I think it is important to be there.

again for errors when give a warning with pm, the old version of this hack was ignored pm lenght and if the user can read pm

I uploaded the updated plugin and now have two "Warnings > View Your Warnings" showing in my quick links menu.
