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.

Hello - thanks for AWS.
I want to translate AWS for Polish language. How I'm able to do it? In which files I will find phrases for translating? Because in Phrase Manager I didn't find any phrases from AWS. So I guess that I have to translate directly in files. But I wouldn't like to break something down - and therefore I'm asking.

Sorry for my terrible English - I understand everything, but with writing poorly.

[sv1cec]

Well, I guess the answer is "everywhere". You see when I started making this thing, I was not very well aware of the finer details of vBulletin. Also, the hack on which this one was based, didn't use phrases either, so I was not aware that it should be made that way. So, you have to check everything, php files, templates everything.

sv1cec, i have a problem with the Complete Removal of Warning. Try to remove from AdminCP. It writes that selected warning was completely removed, but then writes then Invalid User ID. And warning was not removed at all =(...
And at the same time - when i check boxes Comp Rem and then click button Complete Removal, Warning removed successfully... =(

[randominity]

ok I have Historical Option on. I have it set so that warnings expire after 60 days, and banned at 5 points. One of my users has 5 points, but from more than 60 days ago, so in theory he should not have any points. He recently got warned again and was banned (should have 1 point).

[sv1cec]

Well, in theory he should not have any points, but does he have any? In other words, are his previous points removed from his account?

Also, the banning can occur irrespective of the points, for example if the member accumulates enough warnings. For example, if you have your Warnings Number limit is equal to 2 and your user received two warnings, he is banned.

I think this has been dealt with in the past. Do a search in this thread, for "complete removal".

nice! installed.

[andrefedalto]

that is awesome it worked like a charm for me.

Got some issues with skin, because i use a very complicated one, but i worked out to solve the problems.
I also got another problem that the "WARNED POST" image had NO links when showing on postbit, i solved doing this:

edited this plugin: AWS: Show Warning Options/Points in Postbit/Threads<
replaced this:

// Shall we show the warn sign?
		if ($viewoption=='Mgm' AND ($useradmin==1 OR $usersmod==1 OR $usermod==1) AND $post[warn_flag]>0)
		{
			$showwarnsignmgm=1;
		}
		if ($viewoption=='All' AND $post[warn_flag]>0)
		{
			$showwarnsign=1;
		}

with this:

// Shall we show the warn sign?
		if (($useradmin==1 OR $usersmod==1 OR $usermod==1) AND $post[warn_flag]>0)
		{
			$showwarnsignmgm=1;
		}
		if ($viewoption=='All' AND $post[warn_flag]>0)
		{
			$showwarnsign=1;
		}

now everything is working just fine...

i also did a little modification, instead of showing Warning Points as numbers in postbit, i changed to a little bar, that fill up when user gets more points

thanks again

[sassy1]

andrefedalto maybe you can
tell us what modification you did
to get your little bar.
For the points sound good.

I have found that I can not remove warning via the admin cp, but it works just fine in the mod cp. It seems to me a comparision of the php coding of removing a warning via admin cp should be compared to the php code of remove a warning via mod cp.
