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 am totally lost here, so a few clarifications:

- The Notes IS NOT implemented yet in AWS 3.5. It's a feature I added in the last release of AWS 3.4.x but has not been ported. So either edit your templates to remove the Note button ir just don't use it.

Double posting, as someone suggested, can be two things: (A) The same post, twice, in the same thread, which is prevented by vB but sometimes occurs and (B) The same post in more than one threads in more than one forums. The second can not be trapped by AWS, at least not in an easy way.

This option does not allow you to see what particular warnings a member has received, only how many warnings.

i have been trying to make a slight modification to the AWS
i want additional users in admin/mod/smod usergroups to also have warn powers

for example, i subhost forums, each forum i subhost gets a moderation group and someone is set as group leader (joinable group) others request to join the group and the leader approves (they are now additional users) they should also have warn powers where ever the group leader (who is a primary user) does

i've made a few changes to the product xml file and marked where they are with "//membergroupids" (it should be pretty obvious what i did)

anyways i think this would be a good feature, something to consider adding permanently

*EDIT*
i almost forgot - it doesnt work, so i need someone to look at it and see if they can fix it - right now it doesnt show the warn buttons to additional OR primary users (so i broke it)

*EDIT AGAIN*
okay here is a working version (non working version removed)

[cynix2]

ok uhm, after re importing the original AWS product i still dont see the warn buttons, so i think there's a problem...

*EDIT*
it was a config issue i sorted out

The private forums holders I have are not in that usergroup, just assigned to moderate a particular forum, which allows them to see information that only management should be able to see.

If there any simple way you know to change the code from the canmoderate to a check on whether they belong to a specific usergroup? ...such as Super Mods?

Thank you very much...I love this system.

[sv1cec]

I am not very familiar with how the access rights work etc, but from looking at the can_moderate function code, I would expect the primary member of a forum (as you describe it), to be able to warn the other members of that forum. But I can be wrong, so if someone else has any more experience in this field, please join in and help marcjd.

[marcjd]

It seems like if the code was replaced with ismemberof with the usergroup id of the supermods then it would work the way I need it to. I am not sure exactly how to make the change, but may experiment around.

[GoTTi]

i looked in my setting table for warn and got these results.

i had the aws for 3.0x installed. do i need to uninstall that first before doing this?

im on 350 now, so what do i gotta do if i have to remove all traces of the old warn hack?

Hi,

Sorry to ask such a stupid question but how is it possible to see all phrases related to a product in order to translate it easily instead of searching them one by one ?
