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.

History (Productversion)
3.5.b
Initial Version

3.5.b1
Fixed a typo that caused Errors in User Datamanager.
Fixed a wrong object reference in functions_warning.php

3.5.b2
Fixed a Bug that caused PHP Error Messages.
Fixed a Typo in the Install Code that causes mySQL Errors.
Updated the Template Edit instructions to be (hopefully) compatible with RC3

3.5.b3
Fixed User not showing up in automatic warning PMs
Fixed 2 missing Phrases
Fixed Hidden Warner being Used for Automatic Warnings
Fixed "View x's Warnings" Button in Usermanager not working

3.5.b4
Removed one unsued Phrase, added one missing Phrase
Fixed a Typo that caused PHP Errors when sending PMs
Fixed a Typo that caused PHP Errors upon Installation
Changed Product ID for Admin CP Navigation XML from vbulletin to aws, so it won't show up any longer if AWS is uninstalled/disabled.

A bug was found which didn't allow you to delete an entered Warning Type. Bug fixed in the current distribution file.

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.

I had it installed on vB 3.0.7. Is that the problem? And if so does it keep warnings, bans, and settings?

Yes, this is cause u had installed the 3.0.7 version. Just kill the Settings and u can install but u have to reenter all configuration options for AWS.

CRITICAL BUG FOUND

The cron Job for remove Warnings doesn't reduce the warning points as it should! How could i resetup all Accounts with the warnings they should have? And make sure this didn't happen again?

[King Kovifor]

OK So how do I fix it, Is that the LAST step, is it "installed" without them? Thanks for the reply too.

[sv1cec]

As far as I can tell, the kill_warn.php script should work OK with 3.5.

However, I am not sure, I am not familiar with all the changes 3.5 brought, so Andreas should check that out. Did you fill in a bug report?

I got this major error just at the end of doing the product, anyone else get this, or know how to fix this, thanks Because my whole site has got a database error right now, im about to restore the old file class_core.php hopefully that works, but then this hack wont have installed, can anyone help

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/class_core.php on line 2727

Line 2948 is this

2948 - echo "<br /><strong>Warning</strong>: $errstr in
2949 - <strong>$errfile</strong> on line <strong>$errline</strong><br />";
2950 - break;

[sv1cec]

When does this error comes up? I've seen it before, when some echo command was left in places it shouldn't have been.

[Hornstar]

It is coming up on my whole site, it only occured once the product had finished, then the page came up white with that error my site is http://www.gamerzneeds.net/forums

thanks

[Hornstar]

Well this is what i got from vbulletin support staff

Hi

We can't offer official support for code modifications or for forums running modified code. Please ask for help with this from the author of the plugin.

Best Regards,
Colin Frei
vBulletin Support Team

So they were no help, couldnt even try and help me to get the forums back to the way they were.

Anyone know how to atleast get my forums working again, without having to restore my whole database and forums?

I already totally replaced most files, still no good tho, looking for any help right now, thanks

[sv1cec]

You got me wrong, the problem is not with vBulletin, the problem is caused possibly by the hack, but I can't help you if you are using vBulletin 3.5.

Try turning the plugins off. And see which one is causing this problem.

[DS MrSinister]

not sure if you have tried this yet might want to give it a shot http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showp...91&postcount=8

i know its a diffrent error you getting but never know might be the ticket.

[Hornstar]

The problem is not actually in the files, because I uploaded the original 3.5.1 files in ascii mode, it must be in the database, i must need to delete parts in the aws.

Also I can't access any part of my site, that includes the admincp because everwhere I go I get the same error as you all get at www.gamerzneeds.net/forums

any ideas which parts of the database i need to delete/edit?
