Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Advanced Warning System 3.6.7

Advaned Warning System

This is a port of aws and i release this with permission...(yes i did ask the original author)

This version of the warning includes

• 1 vbulletin 3.6.x product file (XML)
• 1 admincp navigation XML
• 1 functions file(functions_warning.php)
• 3 images
• 3 cronjobs
• 1 modcp file to allow moderators to view warnings information without having to give admincp access(mod_warn.php)
• 1 admincp file to manage the system options(admin_warn.php)
• 1 XML to control permissions(bitfield_aws.xml)

For a completer list of the system features you can refer to this

This version will also require vbulletin 3.6.x to run.If you run 3.5.x or any other release then 3.6.x you will see a message.

This system is tested for a long time and i believe it's stable enough for a public release HOWEVER since this is a major hack and i'm just human please consider this first public run still as "beta"

instructions ow howto install can be found in the docs directory within the zip

statistics

• 25 plugins
• 27 templates
• 5 new MySQL tables
• 3 standard vbulletin tables alterd (user,post,and usergroup)
• 827 phrases
• 47 settings

updates

A problem has been found where no link is provided to view your own warnings(normal users) in the member profile only i fixed this.To get the fix you will need to reedit your "MEMBERINFO" template and reimport product-aws.xml (set allow overwrite to yes)

I moved the cron jobs from the install/uinstall code to the product file.
version check url now uses https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/misc.php?...rsion&t=124477

to upgrade read upgrade.txt in the docs directory

24-9-2006

a product depency whas added the system will no longer install on PHP 5 (in response to continued error reports on that PHP version)

People on PHP 5 can follow this instructions to avoid the PHP version related error message BUT remember you are on your own if you do this.I won't upgrade my PHP until PHP 5 is there main stable release (www.php.net)


1-1-2007
A bug has been reported in the system.This bug whas causing vbulletin to throw an error when you try to use admincp => users=> add a new user

Fatal error: Call to a member function clean_gpc() on a non-object in class_dm_user.php(2385) : eval()'d code on line 35

Solution

Edit plugin "AWS:warn link in usermanager" and replace all code with this

PHP Code:

$quicklinks["../Warn.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=WarnUserNoPost&id=" . $vbulletin->GPC['userid']] = $vbphrase['aws_warn_user_admin']; 


i'll update the package when i get home


Another Bug is fixed

This release includes a fix for the problem "call to member function on a non object class_dm_user.php)" when you try to add a new user manaually (after submitting the form)

Well some people call me nuts because i ported this to 3.6.x.I did because i love the system.I'm using this from the day it was born in the old 3.0x series.Vbulletin infractions are far much more complicated.If you want something simple you can take a look at this.

When I enable this hack, I get errors from the quickreply box. either it doesn't go to the next page upon submission or it reports a double post.

My registered users can see everyone's warning points.
How do I hide this?

under manage warning options => who can see the warning points and bans => set this to Mgm (this means moderators and up will see it)

I've uploaded the files (overwrote existing files) and then went to the Plugin and Products --> Manage Products --> Add / Import Products --> Browesed to product-aws.xml + Selected YES to overwrite and pressed the Import button.

It went OK,. but when I wanted to check on the AWS group I noticed it still carried the Advanced Warning System 3.5.0 .

Shouldn't that have shown me 3.6.1 instead of the 3.5.0?

I forgot to mention that when I click on the Check Version in the Plugin and Products System, it shows: Installed version 3.6.1 and latest version 3.6.1

So I think it is just a matter of wrong tag/field that has not been updated?

I believe there is a problem with the following table:

vb3_setting It is the one that has:

defaultvalue 3.6.1
but
value 3.5.0

Any chance this is not updating correctly?


I think I followed the instructions to the letter.
Do I need to do something else?

-Alon.

So just inporting the file is all I need to do to upgrade from the older 3.5.x version? Are the templates the same?

I like the way it handles incremental bannings. Much better than the infraction system.

Well my question is moot. I cannot install it. I get an error that my PHP isn't 4.4.4

I currently run 4.3.9

Well there is one way around .... open product-aws.xml and find

<dependencies>
  <dependency dependencytype="php" minversion="4.4.4" maxversion="5.0.0 Beta 1" />
  <dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.6.0" maxversion="" />
 </dependencies>

remove the php version check so

<dependencies>
  <dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.6.0" maxversion="" />
 </dependencies>

then it will import.
