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)

Fixed a typo that caused Errors in User Datamanager.

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

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.

i like your hack very much thanks
i just have a little comment: in the install file (txt), in a template modification, you spelled $vbphase[...] instead of $vbphrase.
im sorry but i dont remember exactly where it is, but use ctrl+f.

for some reason, when a user gets warned, the post they are warned on gets all wierd looking.

attached is a example.

what is causing this?

yes you edited that template incorrectly ... or does it only happen when you use the this hack ? then i would check the code involved on postbit & postbit_legacy template

[shockx5]

So I have 3.5.4 and am using the version before the current AWS...do i just upload all the files again and the product to update? Or do I need to uninstall the product and reinstall the new one along with uploading the new files. The original version has been acting screwy with people not being banned when the correct number of warnings is reached etc.

I tried a test run on a regsitered user account, and when i tried to view my warnings it came up with this "You do not have permissions to view warnings information"

What happened? :\ I set it to "ALL" to viewing warnings.

A normal user cannot view warnings unless the warning issued to themself the setting you refer to is for mods and up

Oh.. I see. Thank you.

I have another problem though. =\ I set up "auto warns" for obscene words , but for some reason, it's not working. I set up the right ID and everything. Created a warning type "ObsceneWords" I did a test on this too and the warning didn't show up on me.

Also.. if I uninstall and reinstall AWS, will I lose all warnings and bans made through AWS?

Thanks for the info~

did you enable automatic warnings ? also did you enable your forum censor and enter some words to be censored for example enter "++++" "pussy" into that box when a user trys to use one of these words in a post (and automatic warnings are on) then he is busted ....

you will not loose the warnings information if you create a backup of it through phpMyAdmin

Also make sure 'ObsceneWords' warningtype is set to "Auth"(short for automatic)

in the readme text.. it said, Upload the Files in Folder upload to the appropriate Directories.

what is the appropriate Directories?
