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.

History (Productversion)
3.5.b
Initial Version

3.5.b1
Fixed a typo that caused Errors in User Datamanager.
Fixed a wrong object reference in functions_warning.php

3.5.b2
Fixed a Bug that caused PHP Error Messages.
Fixed a Typo in the Install Code that causes mySQL Errors.
Updated the Template Edit instructions to be (hopefully) compatible with RC3

3.5.b3
Fixed User not showing up in automatic warning PMs
Fixed 2 missing Phrases
Fixed Hidden Warner being Used for Automatic Warnings
Fixed "View x's Warnings" Button in Usermanager not working

3.5.b4
Removed one unsued Phrase, added one missing Phrase
Fixed a Typo that caused PHP Errors when sending PMs
Fixed a Typo that caused PHP Errors upon Installation
Changed Product ID for Admin CP Navigation XML from vbulletin to aws, so it won't show up any longer if AWS is uninstalled/disabled.

A bug was found which didn't allow you to delete an entered Warning Type. Bug fixed in the current distribution file.

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.

The only suggestion I have....maybe to put this over the top....is to be able to ban users from x page....which would be useful more for hacked boards than anything I think....say for example someone has googlemap and ibproarcade installed....the arcade comes with the ability to ban users or groups of users from the arcade, the googlemap doesn't....its not permission based at all really....not on the front end. Maybe a script where you can put in a username, and ban x user from x page? I dunno if anyone else might find that useful....but I would :bunny:


aside from my little thought...i'd say go for it

*bump suggestion*

I didn't see an awnser to this....is it possible?

(incedentally...sorry to double post)

those 'warn_notes' do not work for me. i mean i edit all files and templates like the ".txt" says but it doesn't show me anything in my postbit_legacy all i see is a button called "add a note" when i click it nothing is displayed even the navbits array is empty is this 3.5.x acting strange again ????

I did not understand half of that info in that txt file lol:tired:

But I managed to get it working

This is what should be there (Screenshot added)

Also uploaded the 2 files I edited you could always add these and see if it works - Make sure you backup the other ones tho

Still going to do a few tests with it tho

It was working for me and then when I went add a note and saved it There was no way of viewing it :cross-eyed:

The next thing the add note button vanished altogether

I'm going to revert back without the notes cos I don't wanna mess anything up Just going to keep the warning system for now.

I have tried 2 times and no luck so I am going to stick it at the bottom of my list because its a pain to install.

how do i go about getting AWS to work on my board?
i upgraded from vb3.0.9 and the AWS released around that time.
should i remove certain database entries? which ones?
or can i edit the XML to update and replace instead?

you must first delete the old system ... everything except your issued warnings information or you loose that

[vampireus]

Where is the issued warnings information stored? I want to delete it.

the warnings table .... if you want to delete that you'll also want to check pmtext_warned , warn_notes (if you are using this ) warn_alerts ... you could set the "prune warnings" setting to 0 days which will delete all issued warnings ...
