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 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.

Congrats buddy!

Since the test forum I used is shut down, I guess users are now relying on you for a complete package, ready for installation.

}
else

Then in the same file, find:

$url="showthread.php?p={$post}";
eval('$warn_page .= "' . fetch_template('warn_redirect') . '";');

Replace that with:

}
$url="showthread.php?p={$post}";
eval('$warn_page .= "' . fetch_template('warn_redirect') . '";');

Let me know if it works. Note that I edited the code this morning, so please make sure you are using the latest one, as it appears above.

Also, you do not have to use the "Back" javascript, it will redirect you automatically.

worked famously! thanks muchly!


for the non-post related warnings the last bit should be:

}
$url="member.php?u={$vbulletin->GPC['id']}";
eval('$warn_page .= "' . fetch_template('warn_redirect') . '";');

hi people,

I have implemented phrases so the system should be "translation ready" into any language you wish.Just done so gonna leave it running for it while to see if any problems show up(like phrases i forgot) after that i'll attach the XML you just need to reimport it (and like always BACKUPPPPPPP your database)

ciao

[Dr.Viggy]

well this thing took forever to go through it all and put in but as soon as i did, it worked perfectly. GREAT product. thanks

[Delphiprogrammi]

hi people,

A thing new to this hack are the bitfield permissions.Just like vbulletin uses itself "can view forum" etc etc.....

is it possible to have a post that's been warned soft/completly deleted after the warning expires? My users keep getting warned twice cus the warn post image disappears.

The best thing to do is go to:

Admincp > Advanced Warning System > Manage Warning Options>

Then have a look down the list and you will find:

4th option on the list

Allow multiple warnings for the same post?If set to No, you will not be allowed to warn a user more than once, for the same post, even if there were several violations in that post.

Set that to "NO" and it should stop multipost warnings
