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.

I think you mean "warnings" instead of "warning_bans" ?

Because with the last SQL you gave I got

#1091 - Can't DROP 'warning_bans'; check that column/key exists

Because with the last SQL you gave I got

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'warning_bans' in 'field list' Error Number : 1054

this is your error message from the first post you posted about it.MySQL says it doesn't know the "warning_bans" column.This field is used when warningtypes are issued that cause a ban (temprary or permanent) that column is in the standard vbulletin user table.To see if the field is missing

DESCRIBE user;

this will show you the "raw" table SQL.If the field it is indeed missing

ALTER TABLE user ADD COLUMN warning_bans INT(2) DEFAULT '0';

Strange...I never posted that error, I think you have confused me with another user?

oeps your right you upgraded to 3.6 and you did have a problem with the warnings field beinng removed from the vbulletin 3.6 infraction system.The correct query for the warnings field from the infraction system is

ALTER TABLE user ADD COLUMN warnings INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0';

you can see this in your vbulletin zip package at upload/install/mysql-schema.php line 1816

i'm verry sorry about the confusion i'm an idiot

Thanks

Hey all, for 3.5.4 with alot of mods, and patched with those two 3.5.5 files. Was wondering, I saw this is kinda just been sitting here and so, was wondering, is this still worth installing or should something else be used?

Just wondering how stable it is for a large forum and how secure youd feel installing it. Or if someone can fill me in. =)

[sv1cec]

Version 3.5.x is pretty stable by now and pretty secure.

Delphi is almost finished with the new version for vB 3.6.0. It should be released soon. An announcement will be posted here, on where you can download it and where to get support.

Thanks Delphi!

[Mysticales]

Ok cool, and just to make sure.. This thread is the current release for 3.5, not that there is another or edits elsewhere I should know of?
