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.

MarcusTangh, I am sure you are capable of writing a better hack than this. Please go ahead and do it.

MThornback,

'comment' is a string, why are you comparing to with zero? Try comparing it with ''.

That would be because I am an admirer and editor of code...more than I am good at writing it

So this should work then? Cause it doesn't

// Require Comment //
if ($vbulletin->GPC['comment']=='')
{
	$message_left="{$user['username']} could not be warned because you did not enter a reason for the warning. Please  go <a href='javascript:history.go(-1)'>back</a> and try again.";
}
else
{
	eval('$warn_page .= "' . fetch_template('warn_redirect') . '";');
}

[sv1cec]

LoL, I'll have to look at the code to see how this Javascript needs to be called. Did you verify that the comparison works? In other words, with the above code, does the program goes into the IF statement or in the ELSE statement?

[MThornback]

It goes right to the else...it seems to ignore the IF altogether....it went to the IF when I was comparing it to zero...for obvious reasons

[sv1cec]

Try this.

In Warn.php find:

$slcomment=$vbulletin->GPC['comment'];

Add below that:

if ($slcomment=='')
{
	$message_left="{$user['username']} could not be warned because you did not enter a reason for the warning. Please  go <a href='javascript:history.go(-1)'>back</a> and try again.";
}
else
{

Then in the same file, find:

$url="showthread.php?p={$post}";
eval('$warn_page .= "' . fetch_template('warn_redirect') . '";');

Replace that with:

}
$url="showthread.php?p={$post}";
eval('$warn_page .= "' . fetch_template('warn_redirect') . '";');

Let me know if it works. Note that I edited the code this morning, so please make sure you are using the latest one, as it appears above.

Also, you do not have to use the "Back" javascript, it will redirect you automatically.
