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.

How did you upgrade? Did you by any chance removed all old files before upgrading?

Same way as i always upgrade,i upload the new files and overwrite the old ones.

This is line 279 of class_postbit.php

	($hook =& vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('postbit_display_complete')) ? eval($hook) : false;

AWS != IWS

This is the right thread for you to get support.

How about posibility to translate plugin.
I live in Russia and i need russian interface for users on my forum.
But when i translate this hack(ver. 3.0.11) i've got many problems, for example problem with "Yes - "No" in SQL and other things. Completly with this translation plugin work terrible

P.S. Sorry for my crazy english.

@Jaikis
Making this fully phrased is planned.

[Rover416]

Sorry guys.

I had the inferno warning hack but i installed the aws hack instead.

I had deleted all the files but forgot to uninstall the inferno product.

Not sure why i did not get this error until i upgraded though.

One stupid question:

Why does "Warn.php" use a capital W and not all lower case at it should be with all files

(If you decide to make it lower case, some operating systems are case sensetive and will require replaces in some files and templates)

No, we do not. Not our function.

Because that's how it got started and that's how it remains until today. And I do not think we are planning to make it lower-case. There is no rule which says that all files should have lower-case names.

Its just common sense to use lower case in filenames, especially for web.

Btw, found a bug i think:

PHP Code:

<tr>
    <td class="tfoot" colspan="7" align="right">Warning limit before being banned: $vboptions[warn_points_before_banned] points. Initial banning period: $vboptions[warn_banned_limit] days.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table> 


shouldnt it be colspan="8"?
