XF 1.2 Finding past warnings for a member

[Wildcat Media]

We're transitioning over to using the warning system, but for the life of me, I can't find out how we can look at old warnings that have been issued. We need to review those to see a member's history. I thought I'd seen a link for that somewhere, but...where would it be?

It does help to go back and look through expired warnings, to see what they were issued for, and for how long. It helps us see if a member has a history of certain kinds of issues.

View the member's profile.

They are listed under the Warnings tab.

 

[Mike]

There's a tab on the profile page (if you have the necessary permission, "view warning details").

 

[Wildcat Media]

Jeez...I'm having a senior moment and not seeing it. Is that on the public side, or in the admin control panel?

Good point mike--let me check those permissions. (This makes me think it's on the public side of the forum.) Back shortly...

 

[Jeremy]

The warnings tab is on the front end.

 

[Wildcat Media]

I'm not seeing it, and permissions are OK ("View warning details:" is set to Allow, for moderators and admins.)

This is where I should see it, as an extra tab, correct? (I swore I'd seen it--that's what is bugging me!)

 

[Paul B]

Either there are no warnings or you have a permission conflict.

Use the Analyze Permissions function.

 

[Wildcat Media]

I see KingK and I cross-posted...

@Brogan: I might also have to disable add-ons and see if there is a conflict with one of them.

Back shortly...

 

[Wildcat Media]

Permissions still look good:


Next up: disabling add-ons.

 

[Jeremy]

Thing Fish doesn't have warning points if you have don't have a customized sidebar (last number is Warning Points). The tab is hidden in that case. Unless you've done what Paul says below (forgot about that case).

 

[Paul B]

The tab still shows if warnings have been issued and the points are at 0.

 

[Wildcat Media]

I figured it out: the tab does not show if there are no warnings ever issued? I had to find one of my test user accounts and sure enough, there's the warning tab with three warnings on it.

I had a staffer issue a warning with zero points just to send a reminder to the member to change an avatar. Maybe he didn't submit the warning as he'd thought, or maybe the warning does not post if there are zero points attached.

 

[Wildcat Media]

OK, tested a zero-point warning and it still issues the warning. I think our moderator got distracted (he watches the forum from work when he can) and didn't submit it.

 

[Paul B]

Yes, I use zero point warnings on my site as notifications and history so that is definitely possible.

Obviously a case of moderator PEBKAC

What's that stand for? =P

Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Computer

 

[Wildcat Media]

Yes, I use zero point warnings on my site as notifications and history so that is definitely possible.

That gives me an idea for tracking member issues that would really help us out!

Obviously a case of moderator PEBKAC

Now I have to break it to him...gently...

Hi

I need a way as admin to search for all members, who got a warning in the past and display them to check the warning text.

How can I do this?

 

[Jeremy]

You currently cannot search for users with Warning points (or previous warnings). You'd need an add-on.

 

[snoopy5]

...You'd need an add-on.

Is there one available? have not found one....
