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.

Fix for "Unable to find Warning Type":

admin_warn.php
FIND

PHP Code:

// ##################### Do Delete Warn Type ######################
if ($_POST['do'] == "do_delete_warn") 
{ 


BELOW that ADD

PHP Code:

    $vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p', array(
        'tid' => TYPE_INT,
        'verify' => TYPE_INT
    ));

OK guys, the bug which didn't allow you to delete a Warning Type is now fixed. Just download the latest zip file and upload the file admin_warn.php to your web server.

Sorry, my bad.

I tried editing a user and I have no problems. Anyone else has this issue?

I don't seem to be able to reproduce this.
Can you tell me exactly which steps are necessary?

So far I have seen no reports of it, BUT as I said aperently it did work its self out. So if I have another problem I will let you know but please do make note of the other errors I have mentioned as this was proabbly one of my favorite hacks for 3.0.X.

It apears that when you make the template mods a view warnings options should apear in the postbit_legacy template like in the hold hack. It doesn;t show up for me, or was that not ported into this hack?

Please note I am using RC3! Just FYI!

You mean the Link "View {username}'s Warnings"?
It's there for me.

Yes I see the link to Warn a user but not view there warnings. Also isn;t there suppose to be some sort of warning indicator in the user information around the Instant Message icons?

Again not sure these are observations i Was picking up on from the template edits. Neither of them show up.

[Andreas]

Does show up for me


Check your Template Edits.

[sv1cec]

Indeed I haven't ported the postbit_legacy template to the new version. KirbyDE can you take care of that, or shall I do it?

@sv1cec
There are Template Edit instructions in the readme.txt and they seem to work out fine for me on RC3, as shown in the screenshot above.
