Warning Hack V1.5

Version 1.5 Note: You must have v1 installed to upgrade, the upgrade process is small so there was no need to write out a fresh install.

It has come to my attention that a "decent" warning system isn't available here on vbulletin.org, which is quite a shame, and because forums like mine, and probably yours need a simple yet advanced warning system to keep things under wraps

Anyway, i thought i might aswell release what i made, prior to me getting off my ass... lol

Administration Features:
View Warning Logs
- Displays all warnings, warned user, warned by, link to the warned post, date, warning type, and the comment specified when the warning was given, and a remove warning link
(Remove will remove the log and also put the members warning level back down in accordance to how much it was increased by the selected warning removed)
Unban Banned Members
- A simple page that you should visit every few days, it will automatically ban any auto banned users by the warning system where there ban time has expired
Warning Options
- Here you can set the following:
-- Number of warn points before member is auto banned
-- Number of days a member is auto banned for
-- View Warnign Types
-- Add Warning Type
-- Add warning type has the following fields:
---- Name/Description/Warn Points Given

Forum Features:
Every post has "Warn [Name]" and "View [Names] Warnings"
These are only accessiable by a member group which is allowed to "moderate" (Moderating groups are auto detected)
Clicking the Warn link will bring you to a page where you view the user your warning, a link to review the warned post, members current warning level, and below the warning types, has a drop down menu to select the warning type, and a text field to put your comment for why this warning is been issued
Upon completing the warning form, the warned user will be Pm'ed from the person who warned them, with the comment put down and a link to the post

View Warnings link will display logs of only that specified user's warnings, the same features as the admin cp warning logs, only just for this user

Members can access only 1 page of the warning system, which is "View My Warnings", this link is added to the quick links drop down menu
Here they simple view there warnings, just like a moderator would, only without the remove warning link

V1.5 Features:
Protectable Usergroups:
No user's in these defined groups can be warned, or banned.
Root Admin Force Protection:
Userid 1 cannot be warned, canned be banned, this is not optional, this is forced for security.
New Unban Members Set Up:
Now displays all currently banned user's, what time they were banned, what time they are supposed to be unbanned. You may unban the user even if there time has not expired (You will be notificed if they have not served the time issued upon ban, but not stopped). Upon unbanning, you choose the members 'new' warning level and the user's usergroup to move them into
Set banned usergroup:
You can now easily choose from a drop down menu which usergroup user's are sent to if after been warned they are banned.

V1.5 Bug Fixes:
- User locations in 'Users online' shown as unknown if they are warning/viewing warnings (Priority: Medium)
- Unban members system renovated and now fully works (Priotity: Maximum)
- No mysql errors upon sending a pm if the PM table had been altered (Priotity: Maximum)
- New protectable usergroups to stop any group of your choice been banned (Priotity: Maximum)
- Last time visited didn't appear when error page occured (Priotity: Low)
- Un-used global in PM function (Priority: Low)

I hope you enjoy the system, my staff teamare very pleased with it and find it of great use, enjoy the hack

Is there a way that I can make this hack so, that only admins and S mods can give out warnings and perhaps certain mods (ID based, like administrator permissions?)

Just to let everyone know that Version 2.0 of the Advanced Warning System hack is out. The latest version includes automatic warnings, which are issued to members if they post obscene words (the words defined in the censorship option of vBulletin). Visit the other thread and see the new features.

Rgds to all

I think we have 1.5 version. I get this same thing. I have investigated it and the warn.php inserts entries in banned_members table with a ban time and a lift time that looks OK.

But in the modcp/banning.php it just does a LEFT join on all members in the banned group, all the warning system banned users just come out with nulls. It doesn't even use the banned_members table at all.

In my admin panel it links to modcp/banning.php
There is an admincp/admin_warn.php that uses banned_members in some way
but my panel never calls it.

My guess? the hack was never completely installed.

Do a search for advanced warning system - it is this hack remade, with a TON of other features and is constantly updated and bug fixed.

Ok.. Guy's..

I Have Installed 1.0 Working Fine.. Now To Upgrade.. I Dont Understand What You Mean With This:-

Run this query: (change TABLE_PREFIX to your settings, this is defined within includes/config.php, if it is blank then just simply remove TABLE_PREFIX from the query)

Here Is My includes/config.php

// Prefix that your vBulletin tables have in the database.
// For example: $tableprefix = 'vb3_';
$tableprefix = '';

So Help Please What Do I Do..! :ermm: :ermm: :ermm:

[mojo8850]

Ok.. Since No One Is Helping.. Especially The AUTOUR..!

This I How I Have Ran The Query:-

alter table warning_options
add `banned_usergroup_id` int(15) not null default '0',
add `protected_usergroups` varchar(255) not null default '';

However It Did Say In The Query That It Affected Rows:- 1

So Far It Working Brilliantly..

Correct Me If Wrong..!

Regards

Mr. Mojo

That means that when someone tells you to run a query like:

UPDATE `".TABLE_PREFIX."warning_options` SET version='3.0.2' WHERE oid=1

you should remove from there, the :

".TABLE_PREFIX."

thingy, because you are not using a table prefix.

I See So The Query That I Ran Shown In Post #526..!

Was The Correct Method..!

Work backwards though the installer.

Why were you not using the re-release of this hack, the more stable, bug free and feature packed Advanced Warning System (AWS).
