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.

This is great news, now sv1cec will be able to work on it once again.

btw if anything goes wrong pm me sv1cec and i'll be able to provide you a test board too.


However im here to report some bugs


1st bug: In admincp ----Advanced Warning System----View Warnings Log


If i click on 'Next Page' It just reloads the same page even tho i have 5 pages of warnings its always on 1of5 and i cant get to page 2.


2nd bug: View User Warnings----I type in name and then the warning comes up. There is one warning for that user and I want to remove it (As i cant access page 2 of the warning log.)

I then press complete removal and then it loads a 404 page


Seeing if anyone else has this problem, or if they know a solution

Im using VB 3.5.2

Thanks

Not so much a bug, but the template edits for memberinfo template could use a bit of tiddying up. It seems to tab it aweay from the right side border.

Have you define the # of warnings you want to see per page, in the AWS Options?

What is the page that produces the 404 error? Show me the URL.

Finally, ladies and gentlemen, please do not expect me to work on this hack again. I just wanted to add the Notes functionality, so that at least I leave it off with the same features as 3.4.xx has.

However, even that is not easy, there are so many problems I am facing, even though the code works fine in 3.4.xx. There are error messages I do not understand, there are variables that I should use, and I keep forgetting, and I am using the old style ones, a mess. I am sure I'll manage to give you a working version, at the end, but I am definitely not going to further expand AWS.

I am also trying to answer as many of your bug questions as possible, since Andreas seems to be too busy to help you out, but even that is NOT easy for me. Gosh, I hate the new vB version.

Duude.. I've given out subforums to certain users (they've got a forum about their own site) where they are moderators (only in their own forum, not in any mod usergroup, not even set to moderator usergroup as secondary usergroup !)
..And they can warn users that's posting there !

So what I need is for this to stop, maybe with a function like this:
(illustrated)

1st pic: moderator options (moderator for a sertain forum)
2nd pic: Usergroup options



+a option that says "can only use alerts" "yes/no".

This would be a problem if not available, as I'm about to offer my members a VIP membership with their own subforum too, and just imagin how the members would get eachother banned all the time.. chaos !

If you were using AWS 3.4,xx, on vB 3.0.xx, I might consider doing these. On 3.5, I am sorry but I won't even think about it.

Oh and my name is not "dude".

why is that?
and what's up with the attitude?
people speak differently, deal with it -_-

[sv1cec]

Read a few posts back, to learn why.

As for the attitude, I do not like people calling me names, plain and simple. If you have learned to speak like that, speak like that with your peers, not when on the net, when you do not know the other person. Deal with your manners!

Well thank God for that :nervous:

The Notes, in AWS allow you to put a remark on the user, either for all mgm to see or only for you to see. And the note can appear in evey post the user makes or just a specific one.

This is a great feature and we wouldn't mind seeing it as a seperate hack that could be used for all members (even members not alerted or warned). It's a great way to stay on top of what each member is doing on the boards. Thank you for this feature

What ever, can't blaiming you for being born in the 30's and not knowing that the phrase "dude" isn't a name -_-

..or thinkinh you have to bow down to everyone that's a little bit older, or may have a "higher position". It's ridiculous.

Refering to someone as dude, mate, bro', hombre or whatever, does not mean you discriminate or anything (just because you might yourself), so get yourself a bucket of ice cubes and chill.
