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.

This hack conflicts with the Inferno Quiz Hack.. I get the following msg when trying to get to quiz.php

Code:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare sendpm() (previously declared in path/quiz.php:139) in path/includes/functions_warning.php on line 53
When I disable AWS, I can use the quiz fine.. I will not be disabling this hack for the quiz hack, but I would like both.. Any suggestions based off my error msg???

Thanks!

You have to rename the sendpm function, in one of the two hacks to something different. Then, find the string "sendpm" in the files or every routine of that hack and change the call to whatever you have renamed the function to.

You will have the same problem with other Inferno hacks.

OK guys and gals, thanks to hornstar1337, I have again access to a test environment.

I'll try to check your issues about this hack, but as it has been suggested, it would be really helpful if someone could come up with a list of open items that I need to address, or if you can start posting again the problems you have. Please be specific. "I can't remove a warning" says nothing. Where from? The postbit? The Profile? The AdminCP/View Log? Please be as specific as possible.

One thing that you should keep in mind, is that I have no ... idea how the installation works, so if you have an installation problem, I can't guarantee I can fix it, but I'll try to fix all your operational problems (like for example : "I can't completely remove a warning").

Finally, please keep in mind that I can only work on this hack a very few hours every day, so do not expect miracles from me. Given also that I am not as familiar with the new vB structures as I was with the previous version, do not expect to see quick turn-around times, OK?

So start shooting.

In functions_warning.php, there is a function called sendpm, you will recognize it, it says

function sendpm(......)

and it has some parameters in the parenthesis. You should rename that to whatever you like, sendpmaws is a good candidate. The tough part is then to find where the sendpm function was called from (Warn.php? functions_warning.php? I do not remember) and replace that string (sendpm) with "sendpmaws" or whatever you decide to call that function.

Or you can write to Inferno, and ask them for better instructions.

Yes, I got access to vbulletin.com. My license is valid all right, that's not the issue. The issue is that this old guy here, has learned programming much before classes were invented. I hadn't written one word of code for the last 10 years or so, before I got involved with vBulletin. I moved up the scale so I didn't have to write code. The fact that I learned php at my 48 and I managed to post this hack was a major achievement for me, with countless hours spend trying things out and learning.

I got so fascinated with php and vB that I started changing things to make vB suit my preferences. So my board, is heavily hacked, and the changes brought by vB 3.5 were enough to discourage any further work on this (and any other hack). Why? For the simple reason that I can't rewrite every single hack I've installed in my board, nor go through it and change every little piece of code I've changed, just because vB does not respect its users. There were definitely things that needed to be changed in vB, but others didn't have to change, at least not in the way they were changed. So I made up my mind that my board will remain at the previous version, for as long as I can maintain it.

So I completely lost interest on vB and I focused on maintaining my own board. The published API is very interesting for someone who can understand it. I can't. I don't even know what a class is. And I do not plan to invest more time in learning more things, for the simple reason that there are other things in my life that take precedence. Like my hobbies, my kids, my family (obviously not in that order). So I left AWS over to KirbyDE's hands, when vB 3.5 came out. Unfortunatelly, KirbyDE, or Andreas as we know him now, got hired by vB, right after he took over this hack and the man does not have enough time to work on it any more.

I do not plan to develop AWS any further, so this must be clear in everyone's mind. No more new functionality will ever be added in AWS. What I want to do now, is to deliver to the people who trusted me and installed this hack in their boards, a bug-less version, which will work with vB 3.5. This is the last I plan to do with AWS because I am just not interested in developing it any further. I keep adding functionality in my own version, the one I use on my forums, because it helps me and my moderators do our job. But that's in vB 3.0.xx, and I feel confident coding in that environment, as opposed to vB 3.5.

Sorry folks, I had to say those things once again, just to let you know where you are standing. I do not want anyone to have false expectation from this hack.

Time to go to bed, I have to take the kids to school tomorrow morning.

I will help you in any way i can this hack is to good for "recycle bin" (you know what i mean)

Seems like more trouble that its worth.. My users didnt use the quiz hack much at all before I upgraded to 3.5... Plus if I ever upgrade the customized hack, I would have to do it again!! lol

Thanks for the response though.. That makes sense and I kinda learned something while looking through with that in mind. I appreciate it

Actually.. After saying what I did.. I figured I would never upgrade this quiz one anyway.. I just changed them all to sendpmquiz.. Then of course I got the exact error with RunError.. lol I changed them all to RunErrorquiz..

Worked great.. Appreciate it.. Now I gotta scan any other files that came with that hack for sendpm or runerror

Thanks again
