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.

Our database still contains some info from the 3.0x AWS hack. Is it possible to just run the install script, or will it quit because the MySQL tables and maybe even some templates are still there?

@ everyone with the quiz problem

Seems to be a problem with us cluttering this thread. Should we go somewhere else to discuss this?

@TosaInu
It should work just fine if you were using the latest 3.0 Version of this Hack.
If not, you might end up with missing columns that need to be added manually.

Great, thanks KirbyDE.

I gave the latest version a look already and I think the install guide needs a tiny update. There are template edits that apply to both postbit and postbit legacy, yet only postbit is mentioned. It's the same code, it just needs to be mentioned. The display of warningpoints is an example.

Thanks again for porting this great hack.

Having a problem with installation. Er no I'm not - hint don't try to install this is your MySQL has just fallen over!

any ideas?

I have already posted an answer on this (or maybe a similar question). The SendPM routine that I use, was inherited from Zero Tolerance's original, warning hack. If the hack which conflicts with this routine is also written by Zero Tolerance, there is a strong possibility that these two routines, (the one in AWS and the one in the other hack) are exactly the same, so one of the two can be deleted.

The same thing with the RunError routine.

The suggested fix by TruthElixirX, is only partial, since all it does is change the names of the two routines. It does not alter the code where these routines are called from. In other words, if some where in the code, one of the hacks was calling RunError, and this routine was renamed to RunError2 in AWS code, then AWS is still calling RunError (not RunError2), which is a routine of the other hack. That enhances my thinking, that these two routines are identical in the two hacks, otherwise the fix that TruthElixirX applied would have never worked.

When I go to View Warnings and then click on Remove Warning I get:

An Error Has Occured!
An error has occured, the following message has been left below:

Invalid User ID Input

edit:
and the url is.


ttp://forumname.com/Warn.php?do=RemoveWarning&id=1

I can, however, remove the warning from admincp

Don't mean to rush but how soon?

I got the links showing in posts, but when I click: "Warn (user)" or even "View user's warnings"

I get this screen:



When I then click Add+1 I get:



Noticed it goes to warn.php (with no uppercase) which I believe was our old warn.php file we used.

PS: we used erwin's warning hack on vb 3.0x could this be interfering now? And if so, how do I solve this isue?

I have the Warn.php file ready, to solve this issue. It happens because I didn't change some routines of the programs to verify (the old globalize) the values.

KirbyDE shall I send it to you, or you have it done already?
