Warning Hack V1.5

Version 1.5 Note: You must have v1 installed to upgrade, the upgrade process is small so there was no need to write out a fresh install.

It has come to my attention that a "decent" warning system isn't available here on vbulletin.org, which is quite a shame, and because forums like mine, and probably yours need a simple yet advanced warning system to keep things under wraps

Anyway, i thought i might aswell release what i made, prior to me getting off my ass... lol

Administration Features:
View Warning Logs
- Displays all warnings, warned user, warned by, link to the warned post, date, warning type, and the comment specified when the warning was given, and a remove warning link
(Remove will remove the log and also put the members warning level back down in accordance to how much it was increased by the selected warning removed)
Unban Banned Members
- A simple page that you should visit every few days, it will automatically ban any auto banned users by the warning system where there ban time has expired
Warning Options
- Here you can set the following:
-- Number of warn points before member is auto banned
-- Number of days a member is auto banned for
-- View Warnign Types
-- Add Warning Type
-- Add warning type has the following fields:
---- Name/Description/Warn Points Given

Forum Features:
Every post has "Warn [Name]" and "View [Names] Warnings"
These are only accessiable by a member group which is allowed to "moderate" (Moderating groups are auto detected)
Clicking the Warn link will bring you to a page where you view the user your warning, a link to review the warned post, members current warning level, and below the warning types, has a drop down menu to select the warning type, and a text field to put your comment for why this warning is been issued
Upon completing the warning form, the warned user will be Pm'ed from the person who warned them, with the comment put down and a link to the post

View Warnings link will display logs of only that specified user's warnings, the same features as the admin cp warning logs, only just for this user

Members can access only 1 page of the warning system, which is "View My Warnings", this link is added to the quick links drop down menu
Here they simple view there warnings, just like a moderator would, only without the remove warning link

V1.5 Features:
Protectable Usergroups:
No user's in these defined groups can be warned, or banned.
Root Admin Force Protection:
Userid 1 cannot be warned, canned be banned, this is not optional, this is forced for security.
New Unban Members Set Up:
Now displays all currently banned user's, what time they were banned, what time they are supposed to be unbanned. You may unban the user even if there time has not expired (You will be notificed if they have not served the time issued upon ban, but not stopped). Upon unbanning, you choose the members 'new' warning level and the user's usergroup to move them into
Set banned usergroup:
You can now easily choose from a drop down menu which usergroup user's are sent to if after been warned they are banned.

V1.5 Bug Fixes:
- User locations in 'Users online' shown as unknown if they are warning/viewing warnings (Priority: Medium)
- Unban members system renovated and now fully works (Priotity: Maximum)
- No mysql errors upon sending a pm if the PM table had been altered (Priotity: Maximum)
- New protectable usergroups to stop any group of your choice been banned (Priotity: Maximum)
- Last time visited didn't appear when error page occured (Priotity: Low)
- Un-used global in PM function (Priority: Low)

I hope you enjoy the system, my staff teamare very pleased with it and find it of great use, enjoy the hack

I have installed everything and even made the upgrade with no problem but when I go to Warn a test member, I have NO OPTIONS.

I can click on the drop down and all I get is "Choose A WARNING"

Need help in finding what did not get uploaded or do I have to put in my own warnings???

Thanks

You have to add your own violations and points etc.

sv1cec How could i add buttons/links to the dropdown menu in the postbit, where the "view users profile" & " visit users homepage" links are?

I would like it so that Admins and S/Mods and the user himself to see the how many warnings they have BUT other users cant, they can see there own but not others. Like Erwins hack did. Can you help do this? Thanks

I can't seem to edit the banned usergroups and the amount of points it takes to ban someone. All I get is the error message:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.1:

Invalid SQL: update warning_options set
banned_limit='14',
points_before_banned='5',
banned_usergroup_id='4',
protected_usergroups=''
where oid='1'
mysql error: Unknown column 'banned_usergroup_id' in 'field list'

mysql error number: 1054

Snowbot,

I am trying to find that dropped-down menu you are talking about and I can't . All I can find, which looks like the menu you are talking about, is the one which appears if you click on the user name, above each post. Is that the one you are talking about?

In any case, what I've done in my site, is to have a couple of links in the postbit, through which the admins/mods and the owner of the post can see the warnings this particular user has received.

The code for those links is:

<!-- checks for warning system -->
<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6 AND $post[usergroupid]!=7 AND can_moderate($forum[forumid], '', $bbuserinfo[userid])"><a href='Warn.php?do=WarnUser&id=$post[userid]&post=$post[postid]'>Warn $post[username]</a> ? 
</if>
<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6 AND $post[usergroupid]!=7 AND ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==7 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6)">
<a href='Warn.php?do=ViewWarnings&id=$post[userid]'>View $post[username]'s Warnings</a> ?</if>
<if condition="$post[userid]==$bbuserinfo[userid] AND $post[usergroupid]==2 AND $post[warning_level]>0">
<a href='Warn.php?do=ViewMyWarnings'>View your Warnings</a> ?</if>
<!-- end of warning system -->

This code will do what you want (admins and mods can see the warnings, and the user can see his own warnings but not those of another user), but it might need some modifications in order to include it in the drop-down menu you are refering to.

Let me know which menu it is and I'll try to be more specific.

Hi John,

Yes its the menu with the username. I just think it would be better. Can we include the supermod group also, i notice you dont use that but i do.

Thanks

Well, in postbit template, find the following:

	</table>
</div>
<!-- / post $post[postid] popup menu -->

Just above it, you should add the code I gave you before, but change it a bit to fit in a table. In other words, try this:

<!-- checks for warning system -->
<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6 AND $post[usergroupid]!=5 AND $post[usergroupid]!=7 AND can_moderate($forum[forumid], '', $bbuserinfo[userid])"><tr><td><a href='Warn.php?do=WarnUser&id=$post[userid]&post=$post[postid]'>Warn $post[username]</a></td></tr> 
</if>
<if condition="$post[usergroupid]!=6 AND $post[usergroupid]!=5 AND $post[usergroupid]!=7 AND ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==7 OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6)"><tr><td>
<a href='Warn.php?do=ViewWarnings&id=$post[userid]'>View $post[username]'s Warnings</a></td></tr></if>
<if condition="$post[userid]==$bbuserinfo[userid] AND $post[usergroupid]==2 AND $post[warning_level]>0"><tr><td>
<a href='Warn.php?do=ViewMyWarnings'>View your Warnings</a></td></tr></if>
<!-- end of warning system -->

Let me know if it works
