Mike's Warning System 1.0

Hello all. This is a sort of alternative to g-force2k2's Warnings System Hack. He gets all credit for the idea.

Before anyone starts to accuse me of trying to steal his glory, let me explain. The admin of a well sized board that I super-mod asked me to revise g-force2k2's warning system (it was already installed). I downloaded it, looked through it, and decided that I couldn't: he requested that people respect his hack, and not modify it. So, I didn't, and decided to take a swing at it. Since people don't like change, I made it look the same as the original, but work differently.

Features:

• Expireable warnings. Each warning type has a default length and value. (can turn this off too)
• Warning values can be selected by issuer as per severity of the offense. This can be disabled by the administrator; the default value of warning will be used.
• Warning lengths can be selected by issuer as per severity of the offense. This can be disabled by the administrator; the default length of warning will be used.
• Relatively quick install: a few file mods, template mods, and then running a script.
• Email on warning option (Never, Issuer's choice, Always)
• PM on warning option (Never, Issuer's choice, Always)
• Email on banning option (yes, no)
• Changeable banning threshold
• Which usergroups can warn, which can view the sum, which can view all the warnings
• Mostly template driven
• Add, remove, edit warnings
• Add, remove, edit warning types
• Stronger admin interface.

That's all I can think of now....

Stats:

• Queries added per page: 0
• Queries modified: 3 (indirectly: $templatesused needs to be modified)
• Queries extra per day: 3+ceil(TheNumberOfUsersWithPointsExpiringToday/10)
• Files to modify: 3
• Files to add: 3
• Install time: 10-15 minutes

Stipulations

• Support requests will take a bit (a day or two) to reply due to a somewhat tight schedule.
• Please click Install if you use it
• DO NOT install this if you have g-force2k2's hack in place. USE THE UPGRADE if you have g-force2k2's hack installed

The package is attached. Screenshots are zipped next. Please click install if you use it.

If you are upgrading from g-force2k2's verison, use MWS-Upgrade.txt, and warn-upgrade.php.

All the paths are from the forum root, so that refers to the forum one.

As far as I know, it is. The only

I'm going to send in an update in a minute. What you need to do is replace the files, and go to 'Resum' in the admin panel. That's all.

Now, the conversion script:
After (seemingly) everything that could possibly go wrong in my life, I think I'll have time for that conversion. I'll try to get it out by Friday (I hope).

Hello all,

I finally finished that upgrade script. If you have g-force2k2's Warning System (v. 2.0 or higher), you can use the upgrade instructions included in the package posted in the first post of this thread. If you are upgrading, use MWS-Upgrade.txt, and warn-upgrade.php.

I'll ask a mod to move this to the 'Full Releases' forum .

Thank you everyone for beta testing. Please spread the word, and click Install if you install it. By clicking Install, you will receive updates when I do update it.

I've just upgraded from g-force2k2's mod, and so far everything seems to be running well..

Just a little thing i picked up on with the upgrade instructions:

FIND:
---------------------------------	
<BR>
	$post[warnlink]
---------------------------------	
ADD AFTER IT:
---------------------------------	
$post[warnlink]
---------------------------------	
CLOSE postbit

I'm expecting that should be replace instead of add after, since there'd be no reason for wanting 2 instances of warnlink, and your code seems to add a <br> already.

Also.. I wouldn't recommend doing this step:

1.	OPEN admin/template.php
	FIND AND REMOVE:
---------------------------------
// +++++++ Warning Hack 2.0 [ g-force2k2 ] +++++++
  $only['warn'] = 'Warning System Hack';
// +++++++ Warning Hack 2.0 [ g-force2k2 ] +++++++
---------------------------------
	CLOSE admin/template.php

Since it leaves the templates without a category in the Default templates..

Yearh, it should be...fixed it...

Again, my preferences seem different than those of others...I like it without...so I added a note saying that part is optional.

Finally, anyone who ran the upgrade before this post, please run this query, which I seemed didn't paste into the final upgrade file....but I'll do that now.

DELETE FROM template WHERE title IN('warn_warnlink','warn_viewlink','warn_userinfo','warn_show_warn','warn_show','warn_seelink','warn_redirect_warnsuccess','warn_redirect_userban','warn_pmyes','warn_pmno','warn_pmemail_subject','warn_pmemail_notify','warn_listing','warn_list','warn_Getinfo_warning','warn_error_whywarnself','warn_error_noexist','warn_error_nowarnings','warn_error_noaccess','warn_error_maxwarnlimit','warn_error_emptyreason','warn_error_cantwarngroup','warn_banemail_subject','warn_banemail_notify','warn_add');

*sigh* Screw the wicked...there is no peace unto me...

[Oblivion Knight]

Fair point to make I guess..
Ran the extra query, thanks for your support with this modification

when i add the code

$WarnUserGroups = explode(",",$WarnUserGroups);
$WarnUserGroupsView = explode(",",$WarnUserGroupsView);
$WarnUserGroupsSum = explode(",",$WarnUserGroupsSum);
$WarnUserGroupsUnwarnable = explode(",",$WarnUserGroupsUnwarnable);


while ($post=$DB_site->fetch_array($posts) and $counter++<$perpage) {
	if($WarnOnOff) {
		if(in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'],$WarnUserGroupsSum)) {
			eval("\$post['warninglvlwords'] = \"".gettemplate("warn_postbitsum")."\";");
		}
		if(in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'],$WarnUserGroupsView)) {
			eval("\$post['viewwarnings'] = \"".gettemplate("warn_postbitview")."\";");
		}
		if(in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'],$WarnUserGroups) && !in_array($post['usergroupid'],$WarnUserGroupsUnwarnable)) {
			eval("\$post['addwarning'] = \"".gettemplate("warn_postbitadd")."\";");
		}
	
		if($post['warninglvlwords'] || $post['viewwarnings'] || $post['addwarning']) {
			eval("\$post[warnlink] = \"".gettemplate("warn_postbitaddin")."\";");
