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.

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.

Is this what you have at line 600 of functions_warning.php:

		$destforum = verify_id('forum', intval($vbulletin->options['warn_savecopyforum']));

Try replacing that line with this:

		$destforum = verify_id('forum', $vbulletin->options['warn_savecopyforum']);

Searched through all of the templates, but nothing.

(the reason why I can't see it anywhere on the page is because my images folder on my ftp has become unavailable for any changes, so I had to put the 3 warn images in a folder of their own, and now have to find the code so I can change the location..)

And now I've translated as much as I can find to translate, guess I'll have to be satisfied with myself for now.
But I can't seem to find where the text for the topic or post text is for the posts that show up in a selected forum (selected that all warnings show in a selected forum)

Topic on post:
Warning: User: "user" - Warner: Luggruff - Date: 11-12-2005 at 17:45

Leading text in post:
User "User" received the following Warning/Alert by Luggruff on 11-12-2005 at 17:45 :

wich template is this?? can't find o_0

No one that knows? I'm sure the maker of the script would know.. wouldn't you sv1cec? :S

And by the way, the two images: closeON and closeOFF.. where are they seen on the forum? Just know where in the code, not where they can be seen, or what they do.

[sv1cec]

Didn't I answer that? Yes I did, six posts above:

That (the code for the large red sign) should be in your postbit and postbit_legacy templates.

As for the other issue you have, these phrases are at the functions_warning.php file in the /includes directory.

Thanks, it works

Ahh sorry didn't see that. Hmm, but wich pages are these images shown? The "warn.gif" the "closeON" and "closeOFF".. have been using the system for a few days now, effectivitly.. but haven't seen any of these images anywhere on my forum.

Are they only used for sertain functions only? That I may not have active?

[sv1cec]

If you issue a post-related warning (i.e. click on the "Warn XYZ" button/link in postbit, then that post is marked with that large Stop-like sign, so that management can immediately spot a warned post.

As for the closeON and closeOFF, I think I've used it to close a window which is opened. I do not remember right now where.

Ok thanks. Dunno either with the window, just know there's something in the system that opens like a users warnings or a warning or something in a seperate window with no toolbar. May be there?

[sv1cec]

Yes something like that,

[techxpert]

how do i edit the drop down box for warning selection types?

[sv1cec]

Why do you want to edit that? The box is created from the entries in the Warning Types in AdminCP.
