Visual Warning Mod

[bluesyrio]

Thanks, I've installed it smoothly, except that the warning button does not show at all in the menu of buttons on the posts, so the mod can't really be used. I suspect it is related to the fact that I'm using the xtSMF Theme!. The rest is ok, as far I've seen, including all the links in the admin. Any tips, please?

This mod is installed on the default's theme only. You will need to edit manually your template files. More information here.

[bluesyrio]

Thanks for your input. I've tried that before, but the theme folder has only the following files:

BoardIndex.template.php
index.template.php
MessageIndex.template.php

The only one with changes that can be applied is index.template.php which was already done.

I'm a bit lost. During the 1.0 version the mod worked with the theme. I think it has to do with some changes for 1.1, but I really don't know...

Does the warning button appear on the default theme ?
How many theme's directory have you got ?

[Kindred]

the warning button's appearance in posts is determined in display.template.php.   If it is not showing up then eithger you did not get it applied in your default theme, or you have a copy of that file in your alternative theme directory.

I have this working just fine, on 4 different themes....

[bluesyrio]

I have 4 theme directories:

babylon
classic
default
xtSMF

The button shows only in the default theme. Not the case for all the rest, but they do have a display.templalte.php file in the folder, except for the xtSMF directory.

This piece of code is showing in default's display.template.php, so everything is indeed ok there:

Code Select Expand

// Show the member's primary group (like 'Administrator') if they have one.
if (isset($message['member']['group']) && $message['member']['group'] != '')
echo '
', $message['member']['group'], '<br />';
if (isset($message['member']['warning']['link']) && $message['member']['warning']['link'] != '')
echo'
', $message['member']['warning']['link'];


[Eleglin]

So, edit the display.template.php files in the directories :
/babylon
/classic
and add the piece of code which determines the warning button's appareance in each ones.

I suppose that your xtSMF is not based upon the defaut theme.

Ok, I've done it to both. It is based on YaBB SE Classic. It is weird, isn't it? Is there any way I can change that? But many thanks anyway, because it is working now!

I think that a change will corrupt the appearance of your theme. You don't want that, do you ? 

[bluesyrio]

Not at all! Thanks again for you help!

I just upgraded to 1.1.1 - this was the first mod I tried to install (I used this on 1.1rc2 for a long time - we depend on it, so I wanted it ASAP) after the upgrade, and I got this:

I've now installed a few other mods, just to see if that might somehow help - exact same failures with post.php and managepermissions.php

Any suggestions?  

[Eleglin]

verify your CHMod on these files.

Also, you can do a manual installation of mods. It's really easy

Above all, make backup of your database and files !

[bammoeller]

Wont be that bad of a task. You only have to edit two files.

[Sapphire_H]

Thanks very much Eleglin - it's working now!

Thanks, this is a nice mod but I have a question about it.

Everything works fine, but when you ban an user, the mod bans only users nickname, not for example ip or hostname, and allows banned user just to register a new account and keep spamming. Is there any way to easily ban also users hostname, without adding hostname manually?

hem... you can't be sure than you ban only one user; if you ban an IP or an hostname  : An IP or an hostname can be used by many users !
So I won't do this if I was you. 

[Qwee]

Well, banning ip is pretty much the only way to stop spamming, I have experience with the users who just create a new account and keep spamming if only user id is banned..

I have always used both user id and ip ban and it hasn't caused any problems.. And possibility that the same IP is used by several users is pretty small..
