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.

OK here are some answers:

General: Sorry if I do not drop by often and check your messages, for some reason vB is not sending me notifications. Maybe because I bad-mouth version 3.5.xx??

To hornstar1337: yes, I am using it whenever I can find time to correct issues that members bring up here. Thanks!

Users of Inferno hacks: Can someone who has installed the Inferno hacks check if that routine, which conflicts with AWS routine (sendPM) is the same in the two hacks? If the code is the same, then there is no reason to rename one or the other.

General: I'll upload the files that Delphi posted. What you should do, is replace the files that get installed by the hack, with these files.

Hi,

I have reinstalled my board and started a fresh.

On the install there is the aws35.zip file and all the other files for the update.

As I'm starting off as new do I install the aws35.zip files and then the updates after that?:cross-eyed:

Thanks for any help

[sv1cec]

Yes, install per the zip instructions, and then copy over the single files included in the hack, in the proper directories.

Sorry for the confusion.

Delphi, any idea on how to create a new installation file?

Thanks for your reply John

Do I also have to add all the code from the warn_notes_update_instructions.txt file too?

I have added all the info from the other text file from the aws.zip file

you will only need warn_notes_updates_instructions if you want the "warn notes" feature that existed on 3.4.16 (vb 3) if you want that on 3.5.x then you need that yes

if you changed anything in the plugins / templates / phrases and such you need to export the product goto plugin system =>manage products => aws and in the drop down choose export now vbulletin creates a file product-aws.xml that's it ... (hopefully)

Thank you John & Erik

Its all working great!

I will try not to ask anymore questions lol

[Delphiprogrammi]

hi people,

those 'warn_notes' do not work for me. i mean i edit all files and templates like the ".txt" says but it doesn't show me anything in my postbit_legacy all i see is a button called "add a note" when i click it nothing is displayed even the navbits array is empty is this 3.5.x acting strange again ????

That happened to me...and I reimported the product because the add note template was missing. See if doing that fixes it for you
