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.

Sorry, I do not feel very comfortable with 3.5 so I won't like to mess up your site. And that particular part of the program has been ported to 3.5 by KirbyDE, not me, so I can't be of much help.

Have you reported it as a bug?

Are you trying to do the non-post warning form the Admin CP or the member profile? I can do non-post related warnings from the member profile but NOT the Admin CP.

[sv1cec]

He didn't specify if that is a post- or non-post-related warning he was trying to issue.

[Xplorer4x4]

Ohh ok well still I was getting that error when I did non post related warnings, so I assumed.

[sv1cec]

What error do you get when you do non-post-related warnings? Invalid User ID? Do you see the user ID, as I asked the other member above, when you move your cursor over the Warn XYZ (Non-post related) button?

I get the "id" in the Browser line, but i get also the error an can't post and can't login or even logout ....

[sv1cec]

Milchi, please provide full details if you want any help.

When do you receive your error? In post-related or non-post-related warnings? Login in or out has nothing to do with AWS, I am afraid. So there should be something else that is causing this. Xplorer4x4 does not seem to have this issue, only you seem to have it.

jluerken seems to have another issue, his users cannot post, if AWS is activated. I have to assume that all these issues are not the same, so please provide as many details as possible for me and KirbyDE to help you.

Problems are solved. First of all, to all 3.5 Customers, use the attached functions_warnings.php, this should solve all problems

What my Effects where:

- If i activate the Load Functions File Plugin, noone Could login or logout.
- I was unable to issue post OR non-post-related warnings (if i am already logged in)
- there where some errors in displaying old warnings correctly

What where the problems?

KirbyDE didn't get it managed to convert all Scripts to 3.5. I assume that i did it, but don't know it really (it's going to be testet on tuesday, we update our 12 000 customers board ;-)).

There where some errors, 1 function "warn_notify" was completly wrong, that is why i can't even login, there was a }'ering mistake in a if clause

Seems to work for me also now but the file must be called functions_warning.php not functions_warnings.php

When I try to run the installer, I get this error message at the first step. "Invalid or empty style file specified"

I am running version 3.5.0
I have installed a new theme that is set to my default style, and the style that was the default style, is set as display #2.

Any ideas?
