Inferno Warning System v1.3

Well this was created purely for my own self and staff needs, but i'm sure you guys and gals will need a warning system to keep control over any member that doesn't wish to follow your rules.

The previews pretty much tell you all the features available, one that isn't shown is that the graphical representation of warnings will be displayed in a members profile, so that you may warn members via their profile or post(s).

v1.1 Updates:
- You can now enter a "Reason To Show User" input, this message is shown for users who are banned.
- Minor gramatical error in the ACP options.

v1.2 Updates:
- Missing template added (minor)
- WOL Fixed (minor)
- Unable to warn user via profile more than once if warn duplcation was not allowed (high)
- Ability to remove warnings
- ACP option to allow/disallow staff to remove warnings
- Warn log stretched page if it was large

1.3 Updates:
- Bug Fix: Warning points to be given were not consistant with maximum points allowed (the drop down menu went from 0 - 10 no matter what)
- Bug Fix: Those who cannot recieve PMs (either via turning it off themselves or due to other permissions) resulted in an error when you tried to warn them, this no longer happens but the PM will not send.
- Added new flexible warning expirations 'Hour' (Allows you to make the warnings expire in hours aswell as days/months)
- Added extensive flexible ban times (Now allowed to ban a user for x hours/days/months)
- Added post modifier notice (Allows the staff member to automatically add a notice to the top of the users post, allowing others to see that the post was warned)

Enjoy

Make the same template modification to 'postbit' as you did 'postbit_legacy'.

Do you have any addons to the private message system? And you're running vB 3.5 RC2 yes?

Hmm... I have one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=91369 and that's an external script to read PMs.

Yes I'm running RC2.

EDIT: Also, I found that this only happens with one user. It doesn't happen with any other users. And when I try to warn him (even decrease warning levels), he gets banned.

EDIT 2: Ok I've pretty much narrowed it down to that it only happens when somebody gets the full 10 warning points and are getting banned. It still bans them and all, but the error shows up.

It's happening because you try to send them a PM? If the PM datamanager has been changed it's likely for errors to occur.

Ask the author if that script changes the PM datamanager in anyway.

Well I tried uninstalling that hack and it still doesn't work... As long as I try to send a PM via the IWS it still shows that message.

Well, I did install RPG Inferno and Inferno Quiz. Those two hacks sends PMs to users. But I doubt those two would have any problems with this hack.

EDIT: It works when the user hasn't reached the max warning level. It doesn't work when the user has reached all 10 warning points and I'm trying to send a PM. Possibly because the user's banned and you can't send PMs to a banned user.

EDIT 2: Ok I made sure that that's why ^. I did some testing on the test board.

a). If a user has not reached the maximum warning level the PM sends fine. But if he has, then it won't send.
b). This problem only occurs when users are banned. Users in the Registered Users group don't have this problem.

For a quick fix, all you gotta do is either don't send a PM to people who reached their max. warning level or give the Banned group some PM storage space.

However, I think that if somebody reached the max level, the Mods either shouldn't be able to send a PM to the user or the PM sends anyway regardless of PM box space. My mods aren't very good at PHP and they don't know whats wrong... So they kept clicking "Warn" again and again and messed up that user's account .

Hrm, i'll check that out. Also, you can change in the vboptions to stop users from being warned once they have reached the maximum warning level.

I have that turned on. However, it's just when a mod gives the "final" warning, sends a PM, and the user gets banned, the error comes up.
