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.

can_moderate() seems to be the correct way, as only this assures that the User is really a moderator. Therefore I'd vote not to change that.

Ive been racking my brain trying to figure out why the install queries wouldn't run and add tables. Then it dawned on me that even though I am using a clean install of Gold, that our DB still has reminances of Zero's old warning system.

Anyone know off the top of thier head which columns I should dump from the previous version to allow a clean install of this KICK BUTT mod?

Thanks much.

Removed one unsued Phrase

"unsued".. lol

@Kirby and Sv1

Good news guys, it seems that i went through the options for the AWS and enabled "Do you want to use the Notes sub-system?" and as of now both the notes and view warnings funtions are showing up in my postbits.

I STILL can not make warnings for Non-Post related offenses even though the funtion is disabled.

@Dart and Sv1 shouldn;t changing this option Who can view the Warning Points and bans? to all rather then mnament work rather the making code changes to the plug ins?

[cynix2]

i dont know if this was suggested yet or not, but a possible auto warn type could be double posting (shouldnt be too hard to make)

Although the notes function is showing up in the template, it pulls up a page with no body to it. Just my Navbar and my footer templates.

Isn't it that we are supposed to use the link in the AdminCP side bar, and not the one in Vbulletin Options?

ie: Where you have enabled Notes is the part that is not supposed to be used.

[akanevsky]

Uhh... Double posting should not be punished, because it is prevented by vB and is not usually done on purpose

You lost me. Bassicly from what I see the add note in the postbit is calling to
http://mypage.net/forums/Warn.php?do...=136&post=9550
instead of
http://mypage.net/forums/usernote.php?do=newnote&u=136

Is this a stock feature because I seem to have missed it? I thought this was a hack for vB.org?
