Advanced Warning System (Beta Version) · **Released**: 09-08-2005

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.

Thank you - I will test that tomorrow. One more question. I noticed that the "Add Note for ..." link at the top of each members post goes to a blank page. The note section works when I View the members profile. Any ideas on what might be the problem?

I have installed the latest zip file here.

I get this error when I try to warn anyone:

PHP Code:


			
Warning: Division by zero in /includes/functions.php(4259) : eval()'d code on line 10

Also the view warning function is still not showing up in my postbit legacy. Only the warn option.

It also apears that the template mod instructions have not been updated.

Andreas · #**284** 10-11-2005, 12:52 PM

Line 4259 of functions.php is a call for Hook global_complete.
As AWS does not use a Plugin on this Hook, the error must be caused by another Hack.
Which Plugins do you have on Hook global_complete?

Xplorer4x4 · #**285** 10-11-2005, 01:24 PM

The only plug-in using global_complete is the Microstats plug-in. I still don;t under stand why the view warnings is not showing up. I edited my post bit legacy exactly to the intructions.

Andreas · #**286** 10-11-2005, 01:28 PM

The Template edit instructions are not 100% correct

Anyway, does the error still show up when you disable Microstats?

Xplorer4x4 · #**287** 10-11-2005, 01:55 PM

Ok thanks for solving the template issue. I disabled Microstats and yes it still has the problem. I have checked that no other plug-ins and use that hook. :ermm:

Andreas · #**288** 10-11-2005, 02:11 PM

Normally that can't be

Sorry, I can't help you as I don't know what could be causing the problem.
Feel free to send me a PM with an ACP Login, ad detailed description of the problem and how to reproduce it and i'll take a look.

seg · #**289** 10-11-2005, 02:57 PM

Ok, I am confused. I have set up a forum for warnings and alerts. Are you able to have the "Report Bad Post" option sent to the forum instead of by email to the administrator? Is this only sent to the administrator and not the moderators? I don't think there is a way to change this to a PM instead of email, but are there any options available to control this message?

If you need Email Notification, you can use some Account and take a abo from the forum which holds the warnings/alerts.

Report Bad Post to a forum is a separate hack:

I just installed the hack and everything seemed fine. However, now that it is installed no one can post on my forum. It tells them they need to have atleast X amount of characters to post. I have that option set to 3 characters and it still gave me that error when I typed well over 100 characters.

I disabled the product through the admin section and I no longer get this error. Any idea what is causing this? I really want to use this mod as it will be really helpfull on my large site
