Mike's Warning System 1.0

Hello all. This is a sort of alternative to g-force2k2's Warnings System Hack. He gets all credit for the idea.

Before anyone starts to accuse me of trying to steal his glory, let me explain. The admin of a well sized board that I super-mod asked me to revise g-force2k2's warning system (it was already installed). I downloaded it, looked through it, and decided that I couldn't: he requested that people respect his hack, and not modify it. So, I didn't, and decided to take a swing at it. Since people don't like change, I made it look the same as the original, but work differently.

Features:

• Expireable warnings. Each warning type has a default length and value. (can turn this off too)
• Warning values can be selected by issuer as per severity of the offense. This can be disabled by the administrator; the default value of warning will be used.
• Warning lengths can be selected by issuer as per severity of the offense. This can be disabled by the administrator; the default length of warning will be used.
• Relatively quick install: a few file mods, template mods, and then running a script.
• Email on warning option (Never, Issuer's choice, Always)
• PM on warning option (Never, Issuer's choice, Always)
• Email on banning option (yes, no)
• Changeable banning threshold
• Which usergroups can warn, which can view the sum, which can view all the warnings
• Mostly template driven
• Add, remove, edit warnings
• Add, remove, edit warning types
• Stronger admin interface.

That's all I can think of now....

Stats:

• Queries added per page: 0
• Queries modified: 3 (indirectly: $templatesused needs to be modified)
• Queries extra per day: 3+ceil(TheNumberOfUsersWithPointsExpiringToday/10)
• Files to modify: 3
• Files to add: 3
• Install time: 10-15 minutes

Stipulations

• Support requests will take a bit (a day or two) to reply due to a somewhat tight schedule.
• Please click Install if you use it
• DO NOT install this if you have g-force2k2's hack in place. USE THE UPGRADE if you have g-force2k2's hack installed

The package is attached. Screenshots are zipped next. Please click install if you use it.

If you are upgrading from g-force2k2's verison, use MWS-Upgrade.txt, and warn-upgrade.php.

no.. theyre like 21/24/36/37 etc.. i have like 10 mod groups to seperate different types of mods / users

is there a place somewhere where i can change it? if you have it set to not give full powers to?

[Beorn]

Around line 39, find this:

PHP Code:

if(!$WarnModOverrideDefault && in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'],array(5,7))) { 


Change the array to hold the correct user groups for mods...

[volitaire]

thanks!, i was looking for that but for some reason coudln't see it

[Morgalis]

alright.. i've done some hacking and this crosses over into it

i don't know enough about php to make the confident edits to make this hack work alongside the others

this replacement in showthread.php

PHP Code:

while ($post=$DB_site->fetch_array($posts) and $counter++<$perpage) { 


is this according to the hack

PHP Code:

// Copyright ? 2003 Michael Benza. All Rights Reserved
// [url]http://www.benza.us[/url]

$WarnUserGroups = explode(",",$WarnUserGroups);
$WarnUserGroupsView = explode(",",$WarnUserGroupsView);
$WarnUserGroupsSum = explode(",",$WarnUserGroupsSum);
$WarnUserGroupsUnwarnable = explode(",",$WarnUserGroupsUnwarnable);


while ($post=$DB_site->fetch_array($posts) and $counter++<$perpage) {
    if($WarnOnOff) {
        if(in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'],$WarnUserGroupsSum)) {
            eval("\$post['warninglvlwords'] = \"".gettemplate("warn_postbitsum")."\";");
        }
        if(in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'],$WarnUserGroupsView)) {
            eval("\$post['viewwarnings'] = \"".gettemplate("warn_postbitview")."\";");
        }
        if(in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'],$WarnUserGroups) && !in_array($post['usergroupid'],$WarnUserGroupsUnwarnable)) {
            eval("\$post['addwarning'] = \"".gettemplate("warn_postbitadd")."\";");
        }
    
        if($post['warninglvlwords'] || $post['viewwarnings'] || $post['addwarning']) {
            eval("\$post[warnlink] = \"".gettemplate("warn_postbitaddin")."\";");
        }
    }
// END WARNING SYSTEM! 


what mine really looks like is this

PHP Code:

while ($post=$DB_site->fetch_array($posts) and $counter++<$perpage) {

  if ($postdone[$post[postid]]) {
    $counter--;
    continue;
  } else {
    $postdone[$post[postid]]=1;
  }

  $onlinestat = "";
  if(($post[miserable] == 1) || ($post[stunned] & 4)){
    if(($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5) or ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6) or ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 7)) {
      $onlinestat = "$onlinestat<br><font color=\"red\"><b>Miserable User</b></font>";
    }
  }
  $post[posts]="$post[posts]$onlinestat"; 


how do i encorporate the two hacks? i am forgoing this part of miserable users [i LOVE that hack] while i am waiting for some help in this thread

[Morgalis]

youch.. ran into another major problem! o.O

i have commented it all out as i can do without the expiring for the time being

when i add this in following
$header='';
$footer='';

PHP Code:

// ###################### Start Decrease Warning Points ###################### 


i lose my forum style!!

I have vbportal hacked in so this must tie in somewhere.. imagine my surprise when my forums are reverted to the default and no header

i can live without expiring warnings, but i would rather have them

thanks in advance and cheers!

[high]* Morgalis installs.. well most of it anyway [/high]

I'm not sure what the problem is. Change the while line to the about 20 lines provided in the hacking instructions...

Very very weird. It spikes my server load up to an insane load when I get it all installed!
