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.

There is an issue with the warning being entered as non-post related. To correct that, open the following plugin.

AWS: Check Post-Title/Message for censored Words

Find:

warn_calculations($warn_type['tid'], $wcomment, $this->fetch_field['postid'], $userinfo, $this->registry->options['warn_automatic_warner'], $alert);

Replace that with:

$wpost=$this->fetch_field('postid');
warn_calculations($warn_type['tid'], $wcomment, $wpost, $userinfo, $this->registry->options['warn_automatic_warner'], $alert);

Try this out.

Also, in several of the templates shown in the XML file, there are still references to $vboptions parameters. However, I do not know if it is worth it to correct these references, since I do not know if a corrected XML file can be used to alter the existing templates or not. If someone knows, please advise.

nope can't get this to work.But if it does in your testenvirement it must be something i do wrong.I will chck your old posts regarding this

I noticed today that a mod warned a members twice, and was banned even though the third warning would be a ban.

Last time i tested I was not able to produce this problem warning a member as an admin, so i think maybe it deals only with mods issuing warnings.

Very nice hack but when I want to warn somone I cannot see any options about warning somone in a post at all. I don't know what I could have done wrong so if I need to I an give a temporary admin user acc and pass to see what I did wrong. I followed everything word by word and everywhere works but I do not see anything warning wis on my style even though it has the code in the Postbit_legacy (Which I use legacy). I don't know what elce to say to help so yeah. Thanks ahead of time.

Actually I think the usergroup settings are in the main warning page options. You need to define which groups are mods, supermods and so forth.

John,

I've solved another problem i found where the system would redirect to invalid user id input.It involves the "view user warnings" option

i think admin_warn.php is ready for a testrun BUT BACKUP YOUR DATABASE FIRST can't say this loud enough

Could this be why I got 60000 invalid PMs generated when I changed the functions? If so I can use this again maybe
