I am using SMF 1.1RC3 and I had it working with the last theme I was using.  I just changed my theme to Ig-Oh.  I have altered everything I at least thought I was supposed to by hand going through the installation file.  I can't seem to get a link to appear in the posts that actually allow us to warn members.  I can easily make a button to add in with the other buttons on each post but I can't seem to find what file and where to add in this one last part.  Thanks for any and all help!!

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

I have this same issue ........ I have seen a resolution to it yet. Everything appears to work okay but there are two icons

The code for the modification appeared twice in one of the files.

You probably won't like my solution. I ended up reinstalling RC3 in its entirety. I then reinstalled the mods. After some manipulation, I managed to get everything to work OK - but there are still some mods for RC2 I am hoping will get updated so I can install them. Specifically 'Ignore User' and 'Topic Ratings'.

Good luck.

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.

Thanks for the tip. I really need all new users to be moderated after having some dork post an img tag that linked to a pornographic photo.

If you also set the default value for warning in the smf_members table to 2, you'll get all new members moderated, which is close to what I, and I suspect many other smf users, need.

The problem with this, in fact the whole mod IMHO, is that unless you're reprimanding someone for a particular post, they don't show up in the moderated users list, so you have to manually hack the relevent user's warning value in the database table if you think their bona fide and can be unmoderated. Thankfully though, doing this extra change doesn't send them an email or show the moderated icon - which would be inappropriate as they're only being monitored because their new, not necessarily bad.

Please, please, change the mod to allow groups, individuals, and new users to have moderation switched on/off via the member list and member groups list, with or without them getting an email and visual warning symbol. Keep the visual warning as an option for troublemakers or for threads that get out of hand. End of pleading.

I am using the versatility2 theme and added the Visual Warning Mod .......... I manually added all the items I need to make it work BUT the button is too high. I created a new button but even the original was about 50% too high.

Here is the code I added to make the button show up along with additional code above and below (because this is not the default theme)
Any ideas on what I need to change for alignment?

I just downloaded this mod and checked out the manual modifications I'll have to make on my version of the classic template -- wow, it looks like a lot and I'll have to do it when I have a good chunk of quiet time.

Question -- Do I make modifications based on what's in the modification.xml file or VisualWarning_SMF11R3.mod?  I'm using SMF 1.1 RC3.

[Bigguy]

I don't think it matters but I would use this:

VisualWarning_SMF11R3.mod

[kriskd]

I just attempted to install this mod and got the following error:

I will cancel the install at this point.  Can someone advise?

Edit:

I went through my Post.php file and that had been modified for the eBay bbc tag mod.  I suppose I should uninstall and unmod that mod and then give this a try?  I'll wait until I get some advice before  I proceed any further.

[kriskd]

Okay, after reading this thread a bit, I realized the conflict was with the "Reason for Editing" mod.  Once I uninstalled that and removed my modifications for my theme, this installed just fine.  Now for the real work... all the manual mods that need to be done to my template. 

[kriskd]

Wow... I'm not convinced I'm going to get this to work.  I just sat down to start the manual modifications that need to be done to my version of the classic template and I couldn't even find this piece of code in order to add the code after it:

Code Select Expand


<edit file>
$themedir/Display.template.php
</edit file>

<search for>
$remove_button = create_button('delete.gif', 121, 31, 'align="middle"');
</search for>

<add after>
$warn_button = create_button('warn.gif', 'visual_warn', 'visual_warn', 'align="middle"');
</add after>

This instruction comes from VisualWarning_SMF11R3.mod.

However, when I look at modification.xml, this instruction as well as the next instruction in VisualWarning_SMF11R3.mod is not even there.  So now I'm even more confused as to which one I should be moding from!

[kriskd]

Okay, I think I got it working.  Yeah for me!  A couple of questions now....

• Where do I find the Visual Warning Mod screen where I define the text I want to use?
  
• For the time of the warning, what units is that in?  Minutes?  Hours?  Days?
  
• The post moderation looks nice, but it would be nice if it would warn the affected user that their post must be approved by an admin.  At the moment, it just kicks them back to the board index after attempting a post.  Let me know if I'm just doing something wrong.

Thanks for a great mod!
