Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Advanced Warning System 3.6.7

Advaned Warning System

This is a port of aws and i release this with permission...(yes i did ask the original author)

This version of the warning includes

• 1 vbulletin 3.6.x product file (XML)
• 1 admincp navigation XML
• 1 functions file(functions_warning.php)
• 3 images
• 3 cronjobs
• 1 modcp file to allow moderators to view warnings information without having to give admincp access(mod_warn.php)
• 1 admincp file to manage the system options(admin_warn.php)
• 1 XML to control permissions(bitfield_aws.xml)

For a completer list of the system features you can refer to this

This version will also require vbulletin 3.6.x to run.If you run 3.5.x or any other release then 3.6.x you will see a message.

This system is tested for a long time and i believe it's stable enough for a public release HOWEVER since this is a major hack and i'm just human please consider this first public run still as "beta"

instructions ow howto install can be found in the docs directory within the zip

statistics

• 25 plugins
• 27 templates
• 5 new MySQL tables
• 3 standard vbulletin tables alterd (user,post,and usergroup)
• 827 phrases
• 47 settings

updates

A problem has been found where no link is provided to view your own warnings(normal users) in the member profile only i fixed this.To get the fix you will need to reedit your "MEMBERINFO" template and reimport product-aws.xml (set allow overwrite to yes)

I moved the cron jobs from the install/uinstall code to the product file.
version check url now uses https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/misc.php?...rsion&t=124477

to upgrade read upgrade.txt in the docs directory

24-9-2006

a product depency whas added the system will no longer install on PHP 5 (in response to continued error reports on that PHP version)

People on PHP 5 can follow this instructions to avoid the PHP version related error message BUT remember you are on your own if you do this.I won't upgrade my PHP until PHP 5 is there main stable release (www.php.net)


1-1-2007
A bug has been reported in the system.This bug whas causing vbulletin to throw an error when you try to use admincp => users=> add a new user

Fatal error: Call to a member function clean_gpc() on a non-object in class_dm_user.php(2385) : eval()'d code on line 35

Solution

Edit plugin "AWS:warn link in usermanager" and replace all code with this

PHP Code:

$quicklinks["../Warn.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=WarnUserNoPost&id=" . $vbulletin->GPC['userid']] = $vbphrase['aws_warn_user_admin']; 


i'll update the package when i get home


Another Bug is fixed

This release includes a fix for the problem "call to member function on a non object class_dm_user.php)" when you try to add a new user manaually (after submitting the form)

The tms system has been removed from this hack as it whas causing a lot more problems then advantages ... The downside is that you will have to manually edit each template(s) for all style(s) you use on your forum

Cool, I'd like to begin using this since I went through all the work of modifying the templates. I'll keep checking back for the update. Thanks

No i just find it easier to work with but that's my personal opinion you can use both if you like doesn't make much sense but they will not conflict

Wait, found something...I set all of the "Additional Restrictions" to 2 warnings before avatars, signatures, etc begin to be cut off, and it cuts if off for everyone, regardless if they have warnings or not.

EDIT:

Just a request: currently, when you're using the AWS, it doesn't update the user's last activity. It states, "Unknown Location:" and then the URL. Perhaps you could make it say something like "Using Advanced Warning System" or something like that.

I also found a bug i could say... I've added the code in the postbit_legacy, to show the warned posts, but it doesn't show them.

This post was supposed to be warned, and i can't see it... if i remove this <if>, i can see ALL the posts like they were warned:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$showwarnsignmgm==1">

it should already do that

PHP Code:

if($filename == 'Warn.php')
{
      $userinfo['activity'] = 'warning_area';
} 


PHP Code:

if ($userinfo['activity'] == 'warning_area')
{
 $userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\"Warn.php{$vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q']}\">" . $vbphrase['aws_warning'] . "</a>";
 $userinfo['action'] = $vbphrase['aws_usingaws'];
 $handled = true;
}

Where should that code be? I've attached what mine looks like.
