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.

History (Productversion)
3.5.b
Initial Version

3.5.b1
Fixed a typo that caused Errors in User Datamanager.
Fixed a wrong object reference in functions_warning.php

3.5.b2
Fixed a Bug that caused PHP Error Messages.
Fixed a Typo in the Install Code that causes mySQL Errors.
Updated the Template Edit instructions to be (hopefully) compatible with RC3

3.5.b3
Fixed User not showing up in automatic warning PMs
Fixed 2 missing Phrases
Fixed Hidden Warner being Used for Automatic Warnings
Fixed "View x's Warnings" Button in Usermanager not working

3.5.b4
Removed one unsued Phrase, added one missing Phrase
Fixed a Typo that caused PHP Errors when sending PMs
Fixed a Typo that caused PHP Errors upon Installation
Changed Product ID for Admin CP Navigation XML from vbulletin to aws, so it won't show up any longer if AWS is uninstalled/disabled.

A bug was found which didn't allow you to delete an entered Warning Type. Bug fixed in the current distribution file.

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.

This extension is incredibly messy with anything but the original vBulletin style...

I tried my best to manually edit sections of templates (such as the postbit) instead of replacing huge slabs, but even the Warn.php files have tables all over the place.

Uninstalling until this becomes more user friendly :P

It's a real shame because this is exactly what I was looking for.

I am not sure I understand what your problem is. Clearly your error message, indicates that your settings table has already the appropriate settings and you are trying to re-insert them. I haven't written the installation procedure for version 3.5.0, so you will have to wait for KirbyDE to give you more specific instructions, but I would say that AWS is already in your system.

I guess that what this user was complaining about, is that it is difficult to edit the templates to include the AWS controls.

As Andreas said, please feel free to provide for a better location of the controls and information.

The vBulletin 3.5 product system does handle settings that are attached to products.
However, if you already have the settings from the 3.0 Version in your database, you will run into problems.

Running this query before installing the product XML should take care of this:
[sql]
UPDATE setting SET product='aws', volatile=1 WHERE varname IN ('warn_version', 'warn_hierarchical', 'warn_automatic', 'warn_automaticpm', 'warn_autocomments', 'warn_automatic_warner', 'warn_warner', 'warn_collector', 'warn_banned_limit', 'warn_points_before_banned', 'warn_warnings_before_banned', 'warn_banned_usergroup_id', 'warn_protected_usergroups', 'warn_troll_usergroup_id', 'warn_restore_groupid', 'warn_incr_ban_days', 'warn_max_no_bans', 'warn_bans_mature', 'warn_viewoption', 'warn_multiple_per_post', 'warn_send_em_warning', 'warn_send_pm_warning', 'warn_email_on_ban', 'warn_historical', 'warn_allowoffpost', 'warn_warnings_per_page', 'warn_textbutoption', 'warn_modoption', 'warn_sig_thresshold', 'warn_avatar_thresshold', 'warn_aprotected_usergroups', 'warn_pmcutoff', 'warn_admingroups', 'warn_smodgroups', 'warn_modgroups', 'warn_savecopy', 'warn_savecopyforum', 'warn_allowalerts', 'warn_allowalertscomment', 'warn_alertslifetime', 'warn_savecopyalert', 'warn_includepost', 'warn_allownotes')[/sql]
