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.

Also I can't access any part of my site, that includes the admincp because everwhere I go I get the same error as you all get at www.gamerzneeds.net/forums

any ideas which parts of the database i need to delete/edit?

try going through ftp and reup the core.php and that should go back into your site that happens to me when i made a mistake in the scripts so i had to back up files and see where i went wrong :ermm:

Try uploading the distribution files again, ftp them to your server. That should at least allow you access to your admincp.

Why u don't just disable the Plugins systems?

Problems with not correctly deleting alerts and warnings isn't gone. The Warnings/Alerts disappear corretly but the points aren't reduced...

Did that, it didnt work, and

I tried this
To get them working again, you need to disable the plugins.

Edit your config.php and add this on a new line:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Save and upload your config.php file.

But that just gave me errors, I still cant access my site or admincp to disable anything in their, so I think that is all my options pretty much.

I'm now uploading my last saved database, which was 16 hours old, so I have lost a fair bit of info, but thats my fault from not doing a complete save b4 doing this, but last time I installed this on 3.0.x it went fine, guess some of these ports have not been finished that well for 3.5.1

Anyway thanks for everyone who tried to help, looks like i will just have to realise that my last few days have now been lost :/

Any update for 3.5.1?

Go to your AdminCP/Warning System/Edit Options and set the one saying "Who can see the warning points etc" to All.

Sorry, I misread that! Guests? You want guests to be ab;e to see the user warnings?

You mean just in the postbit, or you want guests to be able to click on the "View Warnings" button and see the warnings of a user?

[manguish]

Daft Q - how do i edit the drop down box for warning selection types?
