Advanced Warning System (Beta Version) · **Released**: 09-08-2005

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.

History (Productversion)
3.5.b
Initial Version

3.5.b1
Fixed a typo that caused Errors in User Datamanager.
Fixed a wrong object reference in functions_warning.php

3.5.b2
Fixed a Bug that caused PHP Error Messages.
Fixed a Typo in the Install Code that causes mySQL Errors.
Updated the Template Edit instructions to be (hopefully) compatible with RC3

3.5.b3
Fixed User not showing up in automatic warning PMs
Fixed 2 missing Phrases
Fixed Hidden Warner being Used for Automatic Warnings
Fixed "View x's Warnings" Button in Usermanager not working

3.5.b4
Removed one unsued Phrase, added one missing Phrase
Fixed a Typo that caused PHP Errors when sending PMs
Fixed a Typo that caused PHP Errors upon Installation
Changed Product ID for Admin CP Navigation XML from vbulletin to aws, so it won't show up any longer if AWS is uninstalled/disabled.

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.

I don't belive this line caused all that trouble!!! one global! I did have to read every post and try every single change that was posted!

I didn't check everything, but for now I'm happy that I can get into AdminCP and warning, new posts and all is not returning any errors.

KirbyDE or sv1cec update this please in next hack update.

BTW great hack....

edit: after reading entire thread, I can see that this gloabl was metioned before...sorry for euphoria

Couple of things about the notes instructions:

your notes say to add:

Code:

'allownotes' => INT,

should be:

Code:

'allownotes' => TYPE_INT,

Also say to add:

Code:

'warn_allownotes' => $allownotes,

should be:

Code:

'warn_allownotes' => $vbulletin->GPC[allownotes],

otherwise some people (me

) won't be able to set enable notes system to yes

John any chance of fixing that conflict with inferno rpg, i'm pretty sure it wouldn't take long. We're getting a lot of people with errors because of it having to stop using your warning system, obviously a far from ideal situation.

John are you sure that you fixed this error? We have the latest version and we still get the error shown below if we try to delete a warning

Any idea of how to correct this?

Xplorer4x4 · #**586** 01-01-2006, 06:11 AM

Do the notes add any extra queries(more then 1 if it even adds one)?

I agree that this is a far from ideal situation, but why don't you folks correct it? It should be an easy fix for you, while for me, it's not. As I have explained here, I no longer have the time to support this hack in vB 3.5. All I do here, is to try (as much as I can, because I have no great experience with vB 3.5) to help users out, because Andreas, who was supposed to support this hack, is obviously too busy to do it.

Sorry for that folks, I am sure it is easier for you to fix it, than for me.

Yes, the notes add an extra query per post, which has a note. If the posts have no notes, no extra queries added. This is the best I can do at the moment. Again, I am sure there is a better way to do it (grab the notes together with all the other post data), but I just do not have the time to do it.

MThornback thanks for catching those bugs. I'll update the file in a bit.

I do not think I've update the release zip file with the updates on that, since it is Andreas who maintains the code, not me. If I remember right (and there is no guarantee that I do, after yesterday night's party), I have posted the instructions here, but don't hold me liable for what I write today.

One more thing. For those who installed the Notes feature, before you release it to the public, please verify that your users cannot see the notes. The Notes should be viewable only by the management team, not the users, even if a note is attached to the particular user who sees his own Public Profile.

Please check it, before posting notes for your users.

Ha! And me.

And I just installed.

Of course, being technologically challenged, it took a bit to find that part. -=\

John.

First, thanks for all your work.

I've set this up on the small forum and it seems to be a great hack.

I'm just wondering if you plan on expanding it any.

To work on the big forum, we need to be able to edit points and days per warning as issued.

Is this something you'd consider implementing?

Thanks again!
