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:

Advanced Warning System 3.6.7


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:

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/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

Spoiler (click to open)

I uninstalled AWS and reinstalled it and everything works fine. Tables got added. .

EDIT:: Heh. I just tried Alerting a user for something and got this after clicking "Add Warning"

Code:

print_standard_error(...)
is now redundant. Instead, use
standard_error(fetch_error(...))

Close

that caused PHP Error Messages.
Fixed a http://bugs.kirbydemos.ath.cx/view.php?id=9 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

Spoiler (click to open)

I am using v1.0.2 of this product on a live RC3 Forum.

The automatic warnings work fine, except, when a PM is sent to the user from the Automatic Warner, it doesn't actually show who the PM was sent by.

Also, in the AdminCP AWS navgroup, when i click on "View Auto-Warned PMs" i get this vBulletin message: Could not find phrase 'warning_warn_noautomaticpm'

Otherwise, all is good at the moment.

Close

Fixed 2 missing Phrases

I too am missing phrases.

I am missing:

error_moveillegalforum
warning_warn_noautomaticpm

I'm guessing just two phrases got skipped over in the new XML document. I also tried opening up a phrase and saving it as I've seen other hacks ask you to do before to update the phrase system and this did not help.

I signed up for the bug tracker but, I'm still waiting on the confirmation e-mail.

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

Spoiler (click to open)

I get this error after sending a PM, but the pm does go through.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '[' in /home/areyous/public_html/includes/class_dm_pm.php(523) : eval()'d code on line 96

I saw someone else had this problem, I skimmed through the posts but didn't see a fix myself. Was a fix posted?

Well I cannot uninstall it completely. I wanted to start over.

The AWS is still in the AdminCP.

I get this error when trying to reinstall.

plugin.php (1192) : eval ()'d code on line 12

Close

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.
