Visual Warning Mod

[haktanir2]

Problems here also, using SMF 1.1 RC3 and I get:

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

My installation is pretty much clean, I just have SMF arcade as a mod.

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

Who is "Tony"

This may help you find out whom it is:

Thanks JJ.   

Yup, that's Tony.     I've had him do several jobs for me over the last few months.  Great guy!

This mod is working very well for us.  I use it with TinyPortal "Articles" to write my TOS & Posting Guidelines in HTML.  Then I've set HTML anchors at each individual TOS/Posting Guideline "rule," and provided the moderators with a list of links to each of those anchors.  This way, when someone violates, they're able to just post a link directly to the section of the TOS/Guidelines which "justifys" the warning.  Saves a lot of trouble with members claiming a moderator is picking on them.   I run a site about adoption, and there's a whole lot of emotional "baggage" involved in the topic - this mod coupled with the HTML anchors goes a long way towards demonstrating to the members that they're not being moderated just because someone doesn't like their opinion - we get that complaint a lot. LOL

Kudos to the programmer(s) who wrote it!!

Sorry to be so stupid, but for the life of me I can't find where to use this mod after I've installed it.  Where do I go to apply levels to users?  Using Neutron1 theme 1.1 RC3.  There is no Visual Warning tab in Features and Options.  Thanks.

You must modify your theme to work with the modifications or else it won't work and you'll likely to recieve errors which will then cause much more fuss

Should I install anyway?

[J. Williams]

Nope, you need to check what has previously modified the file

[Bigguy]

You can install....if you want to do those edits manually.

The only thing that could have edited it is SMF arcade as it adds trophies to the messages.

How would I do the edits manually? Would I just install it and then check the file giving the error? Or would I have to manually edit everything?

[Bigguy]

No you just manually edit the file that failed on install. Everything else would have installed fine. All the edits are in the install.xml file. or in the modification.xml file what ever it might be called. NOT the package-info.xml.

EDIT: BACK IT UP BEFORE YOU SCREW IT UP.

Alright so I found this:

Code Select Expand

        <file name="$sourcedir/ManagePermissions.php">
          <operation>
             <search position="before"><![CDATA[ 'profile' => array(
'profile_view' => true,
'profile_identity' => true,
'profile_extra' => true,
'profile_title' => true,
'profile_remove' => true,
'profile_server_avatar' => false,
'profile_upload_avatar' => false,
'profile_remote_avatar' => false,
)
]]></search>
             <add><![CDATA[ ,
'visual_warn' => array(
'visual_warn_any' => false,
'visual_approve_any' => false,
)
]]></add>
           </operation>
        </file>

I'll install and then go to this file and make the changes. That is all right?

[Bigguy]

Yes find this:

Code Select Expand

'profile' => array(
'profile_view' => true,
'profile_identity' => true,
'profile_extra' => true,
'profile_title' => true,
'profile_remove' => true,
'profile_server_avatar' => false,
'profile_upload_avatar' => false,
'profile_remote_avatar' => false,
)

and before it add:

Code Select Expand

,
'visual_warn' => array(
'visual_warn_any' => false,
'visual_approve_any' => false,
)

Remember backup first though, that's very important.

[haktanir2]

Thanks a lot, seems to have worked.

[Bigguy]

Your quite welcome.

[haktanir2]

Nope didn't, messed up the permissions page. Time to uninstall. 

[Bigguy]

It shouldn't have if you did the edit right.

Thanks very much for this information.  Is there a link to information on how to modify a theme to work with a mod?  Thanks again.
