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.

weird, because with me it works just fine removing a warn via AdminCP... and i fixed no bugs in admincp

sassy1: i'll work out to release this little modification

[andrefedalto]

ok, lets go:
Open AdminCP, go to Plugin management and edit this plugin: "AWS: Show Warning Options/Points in Postbit/Threads"

replace this:

global $hierarchical, $viewoption, $showpoints;

with this:

global $hierarchical, $viewoption, $showpoints, $vbulletin, $stylevar;

scroll down to the end of the plugin and BEFORE this:

DEVDEBUG("useradmin = $useradmin, postadmin = $postadmin, usermod = $usermod, postmod = $postmod, usersmod = $usersmod");
DEVDEBUG("showpoints = $showpoints, showwarnsignmgm = $showwarnsignmgm, showwarnsign = $showwarnsign");
DEVDEBUG("showwarnlink = $showwarnlink, showviewwarnlink = $showviewwarnlink, showviewyourslink = $showviewyourslink");

add this:

if ($post[warning_level]>0) {
	$width_max = 70;
	$percent = $post[warning_level]/$vbulletin->options['warn_points_before_banned'];
	$width_max = $width_max - 4;
	$width1 = round($percent*$width_max);
	$width2 = $width_max-$width1;
	$graphic_warn_level = "<img src=\"".$stylevar[imgdir_misc]."/warn_left.png\" width=\"2\" height=\"10\"><img src=\"".$stylevar[imgdir_misc]."/warn_dark.png\" width=\"".$width1."\" height=\"10\"><img src=\"".$stylevar[imgdir_misc]."/warn_light.png\" width=\"".$width2."\" height=\"10\"><img src=\"".$stylevar[imgdir_misc]."/warn_right.png\" width=\"2\" height=\"10\">";
}

ATTENTION: in this variable $width_max change "70" for the MAXIMUM width of the bar you can use in postbit. I have 70 pixels to use, so i set it to 70. When doing the edit, set it to some value (IN PIXELS) that fits to your template.

Now you must go to template edition and edityour postbit/postbit_legacy template.
Find this:

Warnings Level: $post[warning_level]

and replace with

Warnings Level: $graphic_warn_level

Upload the attached images to your MISC image directory.
And now just enjoy your cool userbar instead of just numbers

See attached image to see how is the final result (my text is in portuguese, but after you follow this small tutorial you will get the text in ENGLISH).

Hope you enjoy this little mod. Thanks you all!

when is this coming out of beta? why is it still in beta also?

[sv1cec]

Most probably never. I have no test system to work on, and Andreas, who was supposed to provide support for this hack, is obviously too busy to do so. Sorry!

[GoTTi]

what kind of test system do u need?

[sv1cec]

A vB 3.5 system in which I can play. Preferably not a working, active board, as I may need to stop it etc.

[Hornstar]

I have sent you a pm John, I have set up everything for you, just waiting to find out if you still need it.

Thanks

[sv1cec]

I responded to your PM. I will not be able to work on this, until tomorrow morning.

Rgds and tnx

[GoTTi]

yo i sent u a PM also....

[Hornstar]

Okay looks like there may once again be some progress on this to finally take it out of beta lol. Take your time on doing it John, there is no rush, I fully understand that you have your own commitments to attend to first before this.

Edit: I think someone needs to go through every post and find every bug that this has, to make it easier for john. I'd do it but i gotta go out now.
