AWS and vb3.5 · **Released**: 07-06-2005

Hi,

I thinked its asked many many times but I've not seen a concrete YES or NO so far.

I started with the first AWS version and spended hours to update it everytime.
I've never thought that so many ideas will make it into the hack and no I really love it and will not miss it on my board.

Cause I will definetly upgrade to vb3.5 I started to check which hacks I use will be ported to vb3.5 and which not.
For sure I want to see things like AWS on the list of hacks that I will not miss in vb3.5.

Please rewrite it so that it works with 3.5 in the way it is working now with 3.0.7 and we learned to love it.

Regards
jluerken

I'd just like to mention my support for this hack!

It's the only one left that I HAVE to have or I'm just flat out not upgrading to 3.5 (despite it's coolness) as it's probably the most useful and important Admin tool I have on my forums. I do hope you get everything worked out well, and I'm looking forward to seeing how great it looks on 3.5!

I could help you port it if you want..

John,
My hats off to you for a great hack and your hard work... I will be making a donation once you get it done and I get our upgrade complete to 3.5gold. This hack is most definitely deserving of that! I have over 120 staff members in our forums and for a VERY long time we have needed a hack like this. I haven't had the pleasure of using it but I hope to in the near future.
Thanks!
David

Guys and gals,

Just to inform you, that August will not be the most productive months as far as AWS is concerned. With the twins at home, some financial issues which popped up, two other projects which need to be started and finished as soon as possible (not vB related), it's hard to find time to work on the hack.

Dark Visor, if you want to help, check the changes that need to be made for the Automatic Warnings to work, from posts and PMs. This is the part that needs to be ported to vB 3.5. If you need any help, just PM me.

Any help will be appreciated, since I do not see it possible to work on AWS before September.

Hey John,

first of all I want to thank you for your great work.
Will it be possible to port the data of your hack to 3.5 or will I have to start from scratch?
Would an update to 3.5. affect to the AWS tables?

sv1cec · #23 08-07-2005, 07:15 PM

The data should remain totally the same, no change what's so ever. This is one thing you do not have to worry about.

Hi all,

Just wondering what the status is here? DV, are you helping port, or is the process on hold until Sept? No complaints either way, this is just the very last hack my site "needs" to move over to 3.5.0, so I'm just trying to get a fix on where it is so I can plan around it. Thanks, sv1, for all the hard work you've done on it. You've made it *so* good that many of us can't live without it.

sv1cec · #25 08-21-2005, 01:01 PM

Sorry, no one is helping and I haven't made much progress on this issue. I spend 5 days at the hospital last week with one of my twins being there for some infection of the tonsils, and as I explained, when they are at home, it is not easy to work on the hack.

I also have some financial issues to deal with, so you understand that life can be rough. Plus, I have a project running for my own site (testing some new toys), which takes whatever free time I have, so I do not expect any work to be done on AWS, before September.

However, the good news is that the warning/view warnings and admin things are OK, as far as I can say. If I can figure out how the hooks should be distributed, that part can soon be released as a beta version. Then, all that remains is for the Automatic Warnings from posts and PMs to be implemented, as well as the new Notes thing I added lately.

Sorry folks, it's just that my life is going downhill these days.

wcbryant · #26 08-22-2005, 03:58 PM

Without boring you with the details, I can tell you I totally understand in personal real-world terms in regards to life's downswings.

Not trying to pressure you at all, so please don't think otherwise. Wish I could help in some way, but I have zero aptitude when it comes to these coding issues. Kirby (for example) picked up vBookie and ran with it, did a great job, and maybe he (or someone like him) would be willing to back you up on the issues holding AWS back. I'd be happy to look around for someone to help, if you would find that useful, but I don't want to presume anything -- either on your end, or Kirby's, or anyone else's. So I'm also entirely content to wait as long as you need, I only spoke up and asked for a status just to see if someone had indeed stepped up to take some of the burden off of you.

I do hope things pick up and improve for you.

@sv1ec
If you want, I can take a look into this.

Lol, see Kirby, now I'm going to have to reference you in some obscure forum on another site to see if you show up there too. :nervous:

sv1cec · #29 09-06-2005, 05:42 AM

Folks,

Just an upgrade on this:

It looks as if the release of AWS 3.5 (AWS version for vB 3.5) will not take place at least in the foreseeable future.

I have too many things in my hands right now, even though the twins are back to school, which take every single minute of my free time (and then some). Kirby's offer to help didn't produce any results, I've emailed him the files (changes) some time ago, but haven't heard back from him, so I assume that he is occupied with other matters.

And even though the non-automatic warning things are all in place, I have no idea how to distribute the changes (all hook ups and xml), so unless someone takes over to help me out, I think AWS will remain a 3.0.x version only.

Rgds

I am waiting for a Feedback from Jelsoft regarding a Bug in vBulletin.
Depending on if they change the Code or not it is possible to make a Plugin - or not.
Therefore I didn't answer back yet.

sv1cec · #31 09-06-2005, 05:53 AM

Kirby,

Nice hearing from you! At least this project is not yet dead.

Please keep me in the loop.

Kind regards
