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.

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 "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.

those instructions dont explain that to me.

then you would simply import the product XML and upload the files to there appriciate locations that will install the needed plugins and such .......

Gotti is asking a question, and I have no answer. Because I didn't do the initial packaging and because I have no idea how vb 3.5 handles these issues.

Gotti, my answer would be, just follow the installation instructions. It shouldn't harm your tables, so you won't loose any information and the installation script will install the plugins etc. Then all you may have to do manually, is upload the php files.

Delphi, can you post here all the files you have changed so that I can upload them in the hack's area instead of being in every post in here?

Sorry guys, I explained to you in the past, this is NOT easy for me, and I understand your frustration, but there is nothing much I can do.

i didn't change anything to /includes/functions_warning.php and showcomment.php

Too complicated
too many issues with installation and upgrading from 3.0.x to 3.5.x

No Instructions to upgrade.
I think i will try out Infernos.

Its a pity coz the AWS has much more features.

Hey John are you still using the test board I let you use?

also just wondering on one thing I get this error when trying to install the RPG inferno because of a problem with AWS i've been told, what do I need to do to make the aws work with the RPG

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare sendpm() (previously declared in /*/*/*forums/inferno.php:572) in /*/*/*/forums/includes/functions_warning.php on line 23

I have noticed there has been an update, what things have been fixed in the update, and what are the upgrade instructions?

THanks

THanks

are you by any chance using inferno hacks ? if yes that's the reason why you get this error you could open /includes/functions_warning.php and change the function to SendPmAws or something but then you must change all calls to the changed function

that's normal .... you need to backup your aws tables then if you have a backup delete them (DROP) when that's done you could do the import and no errors should appaer when all is working allright you can restore your warnings table and warning_types etc etc

[GoTTi]

i goto import now, and i get settings table errors.

i look in settings and search for warn, and get the tables in the pic attached

when i drop them and rerun the install i get the same error.

okay .. be carefull with this

PHP Code:

SELECT * FROM  . TABLE_PREFIX . setting WHERE varname LIKE 'warn_%'; 


that should show you all settings from the systems (just to give you an overview) finally

PHP Code:

DELETE FROM . TABLE_PREFIX . setting WHERE varname LIKE 'warn_%'; 


that should delete all the settings from used by the system after that uninstall the product XML and reinstall it

Okay I understand the part about going to /includes/functions_warning.php
but which function needs to be changed to SendPmAws is it semdpm() or just the sendpm part?

And what are all the calls? and where are they? which files?


Thanks


And is this the only function that needs to be changed?

Thanks
