Warning System, Automatic Ban, Make Posts Invisible, Edit Signature/ Avatar/ Picture

Warning System, Automatic Ban, Make Posts Invisible, Edit Signature/ Avatar/ Picture - Version 1.1

Okay, this is my private forum's custom warning/ suspension/ banning system and postbit moderator system. This is a fairly involved hack, so it is crucial that you follow the instructions closely. It would benefit experienced hackers the most. The following instructions are for an unhacked board. If you have hacked your board, or use different moderator usergroups, just make the appropriate changes.


With this hack, your staff and you will be able to:

1) Add/ Substract/ Reset Warning Points for a Member from a Popup Window in Postbit.

2) When the Member has Warning Points that reach a set level (up to you), the Member will be Automatically Banned.

3) Easily View a Member's Warning Points in the Postbit.

4) Have the ability to easily Edit a Member's Avatar/ Profile Pic/ Sig/ Reputation comments from a Popup Window in Postbit.

5) Suspend temporarily or Ban permanently a Member from a Popup Window in Postbit.

6) Have 2 categories of Banned Members -

..... a) Normal Banned members where the posts all remain, and

..... b) Troll Banned members, where all the posts in this usergroup

.......... i) Automatically becomes Invisible from all other members! You no longer have to manually search and delete their posts. They virtually disappear from your forums when they get put in this usergroup. Also, Troll Banned members get

.......... ii) Fake 404 errors and can no longer access your site.


Please be aware that this hack is designed for my private forums. If you want additional features, or customization, you have permission to do this yourself. Please do not expect me to customize this hack for your site.

FWIW, I've had this system running for 2 years now (obviously with different code). Time for me to share...

The installation instructions are in the HTML file in the ZIP file below. The warn.php is also in the ZIP file.


Screenshots:

1. Options available with the dropdown menu for staff.

NOTE: You can also edit profile pictures, reputation comments, etc. but I can't be bothered making screenshots of all the features.

Enjoy!

Works fine with Gold. Other than having to fix a few queries to use table prefixes, there were (and are) no problems so far. Olny other changes I've made are to customize it a bit. But, never had to do anyhting to make it work with Gold (except for the minor prefixes part).

Very Nice Hack! Im working on installing it now.

[NexVision]

I noticed another problem whenever I edit a users profile I get this in the postbit (below)

Also I did edit the postbit to show the warning points cause I think it makes for good convo

below is the code i have in the posbit I am also using legacy postbit if it matters.

<if condition="$post['field5']"><div>Warning Points: $post[field5]</div></if></br>

Replace with:

SUM(IF(thread.lastpost>=$lastread AND open<>10,1,0)) AS newthread

had a bit of problem with this as it gave me a database error. Swapped this part and it now works fine.

I got this same error!
I hack the file four times already, but the same error

I'm using vb3.0.1

I try to Swap, like Flashinblue says, but the error don't stop.
Any ideas? :disappointed:
