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.

told you it was a dirty solution....Well i'm playing with your debug code.Didn't tested he automatic warnings yet (with the new files) will do that later on now i'm just annoyed that bloody variable isn't passed

[sv1cec]

Welcome to the club, that makes two of us (being frustrated with the bloody ban parameter).

[Delphiprogrammi]

hi,

interesting

PHP Code:

echo "BAN: ";
    if($vbulletin->GPC_exists['ban'])
    {
        echo($_GET['ban']);
    } 


so the ban variable if for some odd reason not passed going to leave it alone for a while or i throw my computer through the window

[sv1cec]

I tried every trick I knew, and then some I invented at that time, nothing. No way I can pass the ban variable! It's insane.

i've asked for help here :speechless:

[Delphiprogrammi]

John,

i've solved that problem with the ban parameter.All parameters are now being returned as it should

other people do not use this file it will mess up your AWS installation

all i did was change the 'p' to 'g' (two times) in the $vbulletin->clean_array_gpc() calls and that did it don't ask me why through :ermm:

Also John automatic warnings do not work for me.I've enabled that options defined the hidden warner and the warning_type ObsceneWords set to Auth

they work fine in pm's but not in threads / posts

[Delphiprogrammi]

John,

Don't ask me how i did that but i've managed to write an admin_warn.php file with ALL parameters passed and they have the correct value.Just tested it and working fine(offcource you can ask me how i did that just kidding about that part)

amen

vb 3.5.x rocks :d

[sv1cec]

Let us all know my friend and do post that file here, so I can have a look. I am almost sure I've screwed somewhere in the code, but don't say that to anyone.

Well John I hate half work.When something doesn't work as it should (or as exspected)i want to know why.So i've look at the html source vb produces and you will see that for the normal warn remove method the form will be submitted with "do_delete".So what i've did is seperating the code that's responsible for displaying the form and add a method like this

PHP Code:

if($_POST['do'] == "do_delete")
{
//here we go
} 


i used the same procedure for the complete warn remove

PHP Code:

if($_POST['do'] == "do_completedelete")
{
//here we go
} 


i think the reason why it didn't work as we exspected because you would need multiple clean_array_gpc() calls by seperating both procedures (form display and the PHP to parse it) we tell vb what todo and when todo it.About screwing up well so did i in the first place.But here's a little tip.On your development board turn on vb's debug code.why ? well if you hover your mouse over the submit button row on forms vb will show you the parameters which are hidden along with there value this way you do not need special coding to track it.Enabling debug mode is easy in "/includes/config.php" add

PHP Code:

$config['Misc']['debug'] = true; 


this has to bet set in the config.php but i believe there's a plugin here somewhere that allows you to switch it.here's that plugin

that's how i did it now John don't shoot me if something i did is wrong the file is attached

[sinaluna]

Is there anyway to allow admin/mods to input the points and maturity numbers on the fly? Instead of having it hard coded?

Not all "conduct" infractions are created equal for instance. I'm having a hard time coming up with a system that is flexible.

Thanks.
