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.b4

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.

The warning points doesn't get reduced even though I deleted all the logs and completely remove all the warnings. Is there a fix for this?

[TJFweb]

For some reason the usergroups specified in the 'Moderators' setting for AWS can't issue / view warnings. AWS's specified Administrator and Super Moderators can however.

Does AWS require that users be a moderator of the board AND have their usergroup specified in the AWS settings? Because I want to give non-moderator usegroups permission to issue / view warnings.

Thanks.

Not sure about the issue warnings thing, but as far as members vewing the warnings this is a setting in the vbulletin options of AWS.

Is this still being updated, and has anyone had any success with 3.5.2 I'm going to try it out on 3.5.2 now and let you guys know how it goes.

No it is not being updated. Thread searches do turn up faster answers in most cases.

And I have it running on 3.5.2. So far no problems but I have not had to issue any warning for the time.

[Hornstar]

When i try and run the uninstaller.php from this version or from the last version i had i get this error.

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/gamerzne/public_html/forums/admincp/uninstaller.php on line 56

i need to totally uninstall the old version before i can install this version because im getting the database error that i stated above.

Thanks

Yes, they should be moderators. You cannot give the Warning rights to someone who cannot moderate your forums.

Only Andreas can answer that for you gentlemen, I have no idea how the import works. I assume there is an issue with the settings, being there from your previous AWS installation. It should not be too difficult to fix that, but I have no idea where to change the program to do it.

[sv1cec]

Gentlemen,

I am sorry to see that no one is answering the questions I can't handle. It looks as if Andreas is too busy to maintain this hack, and since he has done all the "packaging" work (i.e. create the installation files etc, for vB 3.5), I have no way to help you.

On top of that, my test site has been shut down, so I have no way to test things and come back with answers, than by checking the first version of the code I supplied to Andreas.

I apologize for the inconvenience, but I have absolutely no way to help you out. I'll try to contact Andreas and see if he plans to work on this hack, if not I need to find someone else who wants to help, or (I am afraid) we should call this "non-supported hack".

Sorry
