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.

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.

Dunno why I didn't notice any errors though ...

Nice. Wasn't the note field also added by this hack. Shouldn't it have a $this line in that plugin too?

[Andreas]

No. Queries are run by the System.

Hi Kirby,

i'm using a blank RC3-Installation and it is reproducable the AWS - when i deactivate it the problems go away. strange thingy.

[Andreas]

Did you try Product Version 1.0.1?

[TosaInu]

These fields are added to MySQL table users (by the installer of course).
'warnings' 'warning_level' 'warning_bans' 'alerts' 'warn_notes'

And this is (oddly?) required in plugin manager AWS: Setup UserDM to get it working for adding new members. I say oddly, because I fail to see the logic of warning stuff for registering new members. I'ld expect that the SQL server just uses default values when there's no info supplied by the board.

$this->validfields['alerts'] = array(TYPE_INT,        REQ_NO);
$this->validfields['warnings'] = array(TYPE_INT,       REQ_NO);
$this->validfields['warning_level'] = array(TYPE_INT, REQ_NO);
$this->validfields['warning_bans'] = array(TYPE_INT, REQ_NO);

Why not

$this->validfields['alerts'] = array(TYPE_INT,        REQ_NO);
$this->validfields['warnings'] = array(TYPE_INT,       REQ_NO);
$this->validfields['warning_level'] = array(TYPE_INT, REQ_NO);
$this->validfields['warning_bans'] = array(TYPE_INT, REQ_NO);
$this->validfields['warn_notes'] = array(TYPE_UINT, REQ_NO);

I uninstalled AWS and reinstalled it and everything works fine. Tables got added. .

EDIT:: Heh. I just tried Alerting a user for something and got this after clicking "Add Warning"

print_standard_error(...)
is now redundant. Instead, use
standard_error(fetch_error(...))

[GoTTi]

your instructions are off i think. are you following instructions off a clean copy of vbulletin? when im searching for things in the template to modify, im getting not found errors. i gotta search for partial codes to get the right spot. so far this problem has been in the postbit areas.

installing on 350 rc3

It comes up with this error when I try to access inferno... I know that you guys don't really support this kind of stuff, but I would like to know if there's a possible way to fix it :nervous:

PHP Code:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare sendpm() (previously declared in /home/blootix/public_html/forums/inferno.php:576) in /home/blootix/public_html/forums/includes/functions_warning.php on line 23 


Please compare the two routines with that name, the one used by AWS and the one used by the other hack. If the two are the same (and I think they will be), you can delete one of the two. I think ZT is using this routine in his new hacks, if it is not changed from the one he used in his initial Warning hack, then the one or the other can be deleted. If it is, then you have to somehow rename the routine in one of the two hacks, and change the callings to that routine, to use the new name.

Does this make sense?

[Andreas]

@TosaInu
The Code is not required when a new User registers.
But it is necessary if you add a new User through ACP, as the User Manager shows these Fields.
So they get set to the Datamanager when saving, and thus must be decalred as being valid.
warn_notes was not added becasue the Code this Version is based off does not support
them.

@GoTTi
I didn't check the instructions for RC3, but they were fine for RC1.
Gonna check that now.

@TruthElixirX
Thanks for pointing this out, will be fixed soon.
