Visual Warning Mod

[ckgb]

Ok. Thank you very much. Appreciate the great support.
Will wait for the update info.

[Jay T]

upgraded to RC3 and the this mods RC3 version.

I lost the link to go to post that need moderation. The text is there but is not clickable.

Yes, well, that's probably because it's not updated to work with 1.1 RC3 yet.

Compatible With:     1.0.5, 1.1 Beta 3 Public, 1.1 RC1, 1.1 RC2, 1.1 RC3

It isn't?

Tried to install this mod on my board version 1.1 RC2. Received the "Successful install" message, and then on the next click, received this:

"Fatal error: Cannot redeclare autowarn() (previously declared in /home/dhcoopri/public_html/forum/Sources/Security.php:198) in /home/dhcoopri/public_html/forum/Sources/Security.php on line 252"

Now cannot access the Admin CP to remove the modification - and the forum is hosed.

Please help.

Have you tried to install this twice? Open the file Security.php and look for a double statement on line 198 and 252. Remove one.

@ckgb
I can't tell you what you need to click if I don't know what you are trying to accomplish.

Yes, here is what I have done:

* Tried to install it more than once - it failed
* Re-upoaded ALL original files (SMF 1.1 RC2 files, I mean)
* Re-installed the modification.
* Experienced more problems

I guess the Modification files are NOT being overwritten when I re-upload the SMF files.

So.... I was able to remove the duplicate code in the Security.php file.

Now, I have the problem that the "Warn" icon appears twice in the post window. Can you tell where I can remove that code as well? And any other instances where there may be problems with duplicate code?

Thanks

This mod is very useful.  It should be written to make it easier to moderate users, meaning that you should be able to select an option in permissions to moderate a whole group or individual.  I've been able to solve this problem by manually running a query to set all members as moderated.

Code Select Expand

update smf_members set warning =2 where ID_GROUP =0;
update smf_members set warning =2 where ID_GROUP =21;
update smf_members set warning =2 where ID_GROUP =22;
update smf_members set warning =2 where ID_GROUP =27

You just need to change the group number to be appropriate for your forum.  This will set all users in each group as moderated.  If you want to set the users as not moderated, do the same thing with a 0 in place of the 2.

This is VERY confusing!

On the downloads site, Aaron *insists* the modification HAS BEEN updated to work with RC3 - HOWEVER - I cannot successfully install it because I get the error message that the Test Failed with the Post.php file.

xenovanis, I do not mean to be rude - but would you please coordinate with Aaron so that we know if this mod is SUPPOSED to work with RC3?

And also - please help me figure out the problem of the error message when trying to Apply Mod in Package Manager.

Thanks!

DHC,

I just tested it again on a new SMF 1.1 RC3 installation, and it works fine for me. Would you happen to be using other modifications that have modified Post.php?

[xenovanis]

@ Aäron, I'm so sorry, I never noticed you updated this mod 

@ DHC and ckgb, please ignore my previous comments about the mod not being updated.

DHC,

I just tested it again on a new SMF 1.1 RC3 installation, and it works fine for me. Would you happen to be using other modifications that have modified Post.php?

Maybe. Not sure how I would know if other mods made changes to Post.php or not. Here is a list of installed mods:

* vReportBoard Mod
* Reason for Editing Mod
* Ad Management
* Global Announcements
* Reg Bar

With my RC2 installation, I had MANY additional modifications, including the Visual Warning mod - and they all seemed to peacefully co-exist.

Anyway, I sure would like to get this mod installed and working.

Thanks!

[ckgb]

Thank you.

This way can I come back to saying that for some reason after installation there is no administrative portion link to be found where it was supposed to be?

[ghostfreak]

I've installed this fine but when I click on the 'Warning Management' or 'Post Moderation Manager' I get this:

Unable to load the 'main' template.

Help?

[Inflame]

Heya

I just installed it correctly, but its not working perfectly


I suppose that if you want to add someone to the warning list you go to Admin -> Warnming Management -> submit to add someone

only the button Submit does not work 

so i cant add anyone to the list of it... thats pretty bad

whats wrong?

[Kindred]

no... to add someone to the warning list, you clikc on the WARN button that was added to the message display screen (display.template.php)

@ DHC and ckgb, please ignore my previous comments about the mod not being updated.

Aaron or xenovanis,

Would you please let me know if you are planning to reply to the questions raised in this topic? I know you are busy - and I know your efforts are volunteered, and would like to thank you for your efforts.

Still, I have sent PM's (upon request) and posted here in the open forum thinking there would be a reply - but there has been nothing for about a week.

Please let me know if you will be acting on these issues.

Thanks

Can someone help me please?  I'm trying to install this mod on my forum and getting the following errors during install -

7.     Execute Modification     ./Sources/Post.php     Test failed
13.     Execute Modification     ./Sources/ManagePermissions.php     Test failed

I've tried using the 1.29 and 1.3 files (one dl'd through package manager, one through the mod page itself and uploaded to "packages") and receive the same error.  I'm running 1.1 RC2, and it is completely current including the latest security patch.

I installed this mod several weeks ago on my test forum, just to examine the functionality, etc.  I have all the same mods installed on both.  I cannot remember, however, if the mod installed manually without issue or not.  I do remember that I had to fix a few lines of code (I think there was a missing ")" or something) - but I can't recall if that was before or after installation.  My brain is a bit fried, lately.

Do I just push through the installation and manually edit the ManagerPermissions.php and Post.php files after installation?  Or something else?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I am not sure what product you are using with a version "1.3". I was hopeful that xenovanis or Aaron might update the current version (1.29) to eliminate the many bugs there seem to be with the modification - but I don't find it anywhere.

As for the problems you experienced - I had EXACTLY the same problem with the 'post.php' test.

It seems this modification is NOT ready for prime time - unfortunately.

I hope they get around to fixing/updating it soon.

It would also be nice if they would respond to the PM's (made at their request) and the posts in this topic - but as it is all a volunteer effort - we cannot be TOO demanding  Still, a little communication would be nice.

Good luck

Hmm... Something was seriously wrong with my package manager.

The Mod file fails to execute.  So I manually added ALL the files, and manually added ALL the code.  For the most part, I can see it.  Settings, main template loads and everything.  See the warn button, click it, takes me to the warning page.  But!  None of the settings are being saved.  I did line by line when adding, and I'm confident I didn't miss anything.  I checked and double checked, but I'm probably missing something miniscule.

Any ideas?

Just an update - I ended up "cheating" and hiring Tony to install it for me.
