Hello all. This is a sort of alternative to g-force2k2's Warnings System Hack. He gets all credit for the idea.
Before anyone starts to accuse me of trying to steal his glory, let me explain. The admin of a well sized board that I super-mod asked me to revise g-force2k2's warning system (it was already installed). I downloaded it, looked through it, and decided that I couldn't: he requested that people respect his hack, and not modify it. So, I didn't, and decided to take a swing at it. Since people don't like change, I made it look the same as the original, but work differently.
Features:
Expireable warnings. Each warning type has a default length and value. (can turn this off too)
Warning values can be selected by issuer as per severity of the offense. This can be disabled by the administrator; the default value of warning will be used.
Warning lengths can be selected by issuer as per severity of the offense. This can be disabled by the administrator; the default length of warning will be used.
Relatively quick install: a few file mods, template mods, and then running a script.
Email on warning option (Never, Issuer's choice, Always)
PM on warning option (Never, Issuer's choice, Always)
Email on banning option (yes, no)
Changeable banning threshold
Which usergroups can warn, which can view the sum, which can view all the warnings
Mostly template driven
Add, remove, edit warnings
Add, remove, edit warning types
Stronger admin interface.
That's all I can think of now....

Mike did indeed do great job at the task of what I thought was a much needed replacement for g-force2k2's warning system we installed on our site. Thanks Again, Mike.
Yesterday at 09:29 PM Link14716 said this in Post #10 I found one error. In getinfo, the link to view warnings is wrong (the userid is missing) since it uses $post[userid]. To fix this, and have it work in both the postbit and in getinfo, open up member.php.

Today at 01:28 PM Beorn said this in Post #14 Actually, I meant to leave it out...IMO it looks better....But you can put/leave it in if it so pleases you....
Trust me, the style that I use doesn't look right without the header. Oh well, I added it anyways.

06-04-03 at 11:59 PM Beorn said this in Post #17 It would help if I had the data and structure to the warnings and warnings_log table with g-force2k2's hack installed for a conversion....
[high]* Oblivion Knight thinks you'll need g-force2k2's permission for the data and structure to those tables..
