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.

Is this plugin ready to go or is it still in beta?

I upgraded to 3.5 about 6 weeks ago and when I did the older version of this hack stopped working. Have been wanting to upgrade to this plugin but from reading this thread, it looks like there are still problems with this version. Am nervous about upgrading since I am no php or vb expert.

Is upgrading to this AWS plugin straight forward or are there still problems that need to be worked out?

Delphi, if you use the postbit template, does it work?

yes the warning system works fine i just deactivated the notes thing .... all good

[MThornback]

I'm trying to make a plugin for this that will force mods and admins to enter a comment for warnings....but its not working! Whats wrong with this?

	// Require Comment //
if ($vbulletin->GPC['comment']==0)
{
	$message_left="{$user['username']} could not be warned because you did not enter a reason for the warning. Please  go <a href='javascript:history.go(-1)'>back</a> and try again.";
}
elseif  ($vbulletin->GPC['comment']==1)
{
	eval('$warn_page .= "' . fetch_template('warn_redirect') . '";');
}

Why are there warning system settings in vBulletin options? Also, the description for some fields is wrong.

Save copy of Warning Message in a predefined forum? Yes

I got this error when issue a warn with the above option Enable, the warning is still made, but no copy of Warning Message sent to a predefined forum

Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /home/yancom/public_html/music/includes/functions_warning.php on line 600

Line 600 : $destforum = verify_id('forum', intval($vbulletin->options['warn_savecopyforum']));

PHP Code:

if ((($vbulletin->options['warn_savecopy']=='1' AND ($alert=='No' OR $alert=='')) or ($vbulletin->options['warn_savecopyalert']=='1' AND $alert=='Yes')) AND $vbulletin->options['warn_savecopyforum']!='')
    {
        require_once('./includes/functions_databuild.php');
        $destforum = verify_id('forum', intval($vbulletin->options['warn_savecopyforum']));
                $newforuminfo = fetch_foruminfo($destforum);
                if (!$newforuminfo['cancontainthreads'] OR $newforuminfo['link'])
                {
                    eval(standard_error(fetch_error('error_moveillegalforum')));
                }

did you set the forumid where you want to save the copys of issued warnings and alerts under "forumid"

[vampireus]

I did, I got this error after I replaced the PHP files inside the zip file by those outside. Some old errors are fixed, but this new error occurs

[MarcusTangh]

STupid... stupid thing.
I added warning options via admincp, but the warning options aren't there when you try and warn someone. Useful hack, eh?
anyway.
It's also interfearing with RPG Inferno:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare sendpm() (previously declared in /home/khinforu/public_html/inferno.php:592) in /home/khinforu/public_html/includes/functions_warning.php on line 23
