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.

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.

Hey!

Perhaps something has changed with vB 3.5.3, but I can't find this:

In Template pm_newpm
FIND
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend>$vbphrase[recipients]</legend>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]" border="0">

Help?

I've found all of the other steps perfectly, but I can't find the last one :S Perhaps it's just me being silly though! Any help is appreciated!

Why do the php files stop working when I change words in it from english to dutch?

It just gives a white page, so how can one change english words in another language?

[Julie]

You would have to change the phrases I guess... Unless you change ALL the exact words into Dutch, it won't be able to connect the dots... Also, in the template edits, there were the wordlinks there, which are in English that you can change....

I have installed you hack but i ran into this problem which i cant seem to fix...anyone got an idea?

The templates are all translated. But some text is hardcoded in the php files,no phrases either.
If I try to translate the hardcoded text it just sends a white page?

Well its a nice script but these are points that need work.

[sv1cec]

If you edit only the text, then there is no way you will get a white page. You most probably are editing more than you have to.
