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.

post #910 - H@K@N,
you have not configured any warnings to be "non-post related", meaning all the warnings you have at the moment, are only valid and can be given to a specific post on the forum - not really can it be given to their profile picture, their username, their member profile.
you have to set up warning types to be non post related.
hope that helps.

Does anybody know what the secret is to removing the warnings from a members account? It removes the ban points but not the warnings... Thanks

Warning Selection: Choose a warning

(not post-related)

Everything else is working, and i hav several Warning types.

th@nks

if the warning selection dropdown list only show "choose a warning" then you are trying to issue a warning on the option found in the membersprofile (or via the admincp usermanager).Define at least one non post related warning type and your problem will disappaer

- /forum/admincp/admin_warn.php?act=viewlogs&script=&perpage=50&ord erby=w.warned_time%20DESC&page=2 - choose to view logs. now choose to sort warning types. nothing happens. i also tried going to next page, and it doesn't go anywhere - simply showing what looks to be like the first page still.

Also, i think we should be able to use a warning or alert for posts and non posts.
i don't think i should have to make all 25 different warning types again, for non posts. (even though only 3-8 of them would only affect non post related warnings).

Also, i would like to delete all warnings given to people for a certain warning type. (we have a 'sig too big', people were warnings instead of issuing alerts. and now i want to remove all the warnings people have gotton, instead of leaving them on their account.)
SO: i would like to prune warnings, also with the option by type, and by date (more than 30 days ago).

Thanks mate - good work so far.

i will check those things.The sort issue could be because of the warnings_per_page setting in the manage warning options page

in the warninglog there is a checkbox next to each warning issued mark the checkboxs(s) and hit the complete remove button (delete is deleted .... ) look at the attached image it will make the procedure more clear

Tried that, but when we click on the 'Proceed' button it sends us to a blank white page. If we log back into the controls it is now set to 'No' but the warnings still appear.

It says no warnings found, yet one still appears in the members profile/post information...

true but you are using an outdated admin_warn.php i fixed that bug a while back.(the redirect to a white page) if you set "MainTain Historical Records" to no it should show you the attached screenshot

you should use the files from this package

We wanted to update but we couldn't find any update instructions from 1.0.4, and there's no way to completely uninstall the old version either without them We'll keep trying to look for them though.
