[Sychev_S]

Thank you!

[SaN-DeeP]

Thanks its indeed better to have a Check Box (by default checked) @ end of registration form..

[momo2]

Excellent, I always hated that most people don't have time to read it anyway and most forums have thier own rules anyway..

Couldn't this bring up legal issues for the sites..?

[erinys]

You could get round this by putting the rules in the FAQ and then putting at the bottom: "By registering and participating in FORUMNAME, you agree to abide by these rules"

Thanks MaestroX! :)

When it says 'upload product', where do I upload it to?

Also, once I have installed it, will I need to do so again each time I upgrade vBulletin?

[MaestroX]

Hi Hensa, once you've downloaded the .xml go to your adminCP ->Plugins & Products->Manage Products ->[Add/Import Product]

Also, once I have installed it, will I need to do so again each time I upgrade vBulletin?

No, installed products will continue to be installed after vbulletin upgrades.

Hope this helps :)

[Hensa]

Thanks - got it working. :)

[Subah]

Tnanks :)

I've unsubscribed from this thread - will I still receive notifications of new releases?

Nope, so its probably best if you subscribe but set the notification to weekly. ;)

[Hensa]

Okay - will do.

Very much thanks for this add-on, i were looking for it.

Now, how can I add a checkbox in the register page (username, password, email,...) to agree the rules?

Some like "I agree the rules (http://www.myforum.com/rules.php)?"

[ra7al]

Nice and Good

Open the register template, and find this line:


$customfields_other



And right under it, add the following:


<div><label for="cb_rules_agree"><input type="checkbox" name="agree" id="cb_rules_agree" value="1" /><strong><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[read_agree_abide_by_rules]</phrase></strong></label></div>



This will add the checkbox. But it will not verify whether the user agreed or not... :rolleyes:

[DementedMindz]

nice mod would be nice to see it remove the Additional Information also.

[MaestroX]

Would you run into legal issue if you just had a statement to the effect of "By registering and participating in FORUMNAME, you are agreeing to abide by the forum's rules."?

If you have any doubts it would probably be best for you not to install this product.

IMO the forum rules on registering aren't legally binding anyway (and are just as legally solid as the alternative method)

[Hard*Drive]

Thanks for this great mod! :)

[AzH]

This conflicts with having "Require users to provide a valid date of birth (1901 to current year)." set to yes. The D.O.B entry section for registration is before the forum rules. It's removed both that and the rules and now I can't get it back despite uninstalling this mod.

Any assistance on putting things back as they should be would be appreciated.

I have the same problem.

Fixed.

[BioWaffen]

Excellent mod =)

Denied before 13 COPPA registration doesn't work with this hack...

[TCE Killa]

Just what I needed, thanks.

[chris1979]

Is there a way to make this work with 3.7?

[IsMaR]

Is there a way to make this work with 3.7?

remove these lines from register.php(somewhere around line 561)

if (!$vbulletin->GPC['agree'])
{
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('register_not_agre ed', $vbulletin->options['forumhome'], $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q'])));
}

and install and enable the hack. im not sure how to make it work but enabling that hack and removing these lines works.

the hack removes the rules page, but it dont make it so that its like the check box is checked in so then it says you did not agree to the rules, that code above is the code that says you did not agree to the rules.

[logicuk]

this dont work with vb 3.7 i get this error

You have chosen not to accept the forum rules, so registration cannot continue.

Click here to return to the main forums page, or click the 'Back' button on your browser if you now want to agree with the forum rules.

[logicuk]

has anyone managed to fix this for vb 3.7 b5?

[jGas]

it doesn't work for me too.. :(

[basketmen]

Open the register template, and find this line:


$customfields_other



And right under it, add the following:


<div><label for="cb_rules_agree"><input type="checkbox" name="agree" id="cb_rules_agree" value="1" /><strong><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[read_agree_abide_by_rules]</phrase></strong></label></div>



This will add the checkbox. But it will not verify whether the user agreed or not... :rolleyes:
Hi guys, this is my code, it is better than the above code

<div><label for="cb_rules_agre4e"><input disabled checked type="checkbox" name="agree" id="cb_rules_agree" value="1" /><strong><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[read_agree_abide_by_rules]</phrase></strong></label></div>

after upgrade to 3.6.9 this mod stop working for me. I get this error message when I try to register

[momo2]

same here after upgrade to 3.6.9 u can not register anymore.. :( no wonder i did not get any new members, good thing i check now

[ElForro]

Yes, It appears not to be working on 3.6.9... Please, anyone knows how to get it working again?

Edit:

Well, I don't really like to modify PHPs, but I really need to remove the rules... so, here it is:

Comment or remove this lines from your register.php

if (!$vbulletin->GPC['agree'])
{
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('register_not_agre ed', $vbulletin->options['forumhome'], $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q'])));
}

You must enable this Product also...

[davemac]

If you have installed the product, uninstall it. Then edit the product_removerules.xml and find the line:

$_REQUEST['agree'] = 1;

and change it to:

$_POST['agree'] = 1;

Re-install the product. This probably will work for 3.6.9 but I can't say for sure.

Enjoy.

and change it to:

your fix works fine, thanks!

edit: works on vb3.7rc2 too

[GetWebHost]

Any comment (from fix above) or update from MaestroX?

[myown]

above fix works

[ElForro]

Thanks Davemac! Your fix works great...

[diamond-optic]

fix works perfect for 3.7.0 gold ty

[ChrisDean]

If you have installed the product, uninstall it. Then edit the product_removerules.xml and find the line:

$_REQUEST['agree'] = 1;

and change it to:

$_POST['agree'] = 1;

Re-install the product. This probably will work for 3.6.9 but I can't say for sure.

Enjoy.

PHP Stores server variables in 3 arrays $_REQUEST, $_POST and $_GET

The reason this probably broke on upgrade is that the newer versions access the $_POST array instead of the $_REQUEST (is more correct IMO) but to attempt to "futureproof" my install of this product I left the $_REQUEST version as is but added the $_POST version as shown and (though they'd only ever use it if they were crazy) I added the $_GET version in too.

So in my case I changed:

$_REQUEST['agree'] = 1;

To:

$_REQUEST['agree'] = 1;
$_POST['agree'] = 1;
$_GET['agree'] = 1;

No sure if that helps anyone but I thought I'd add it anyway

Chris

[Mr.Abdullah]

Thank You

[ERAFOX]

fix works fine :D

[lovechandigarh]

doesnt work with 3.7 ???

[mooreaa]

Yeah seems to have stopped working. It would be nice to be able to get this working again if possible.

[zefyx]

Can anyone get this working with vBulletin 3.8.x? Thanks so much in advance!

[Chmura]

3.8 anyone?

[Welshy2008]

3.8.1 ?

Please.

[myown]

does it works with 3.8.x

[Welshy2008]

If you have installed the product, uninstall it. Then edit the product_removerules.xml and find the line:

$_REQUEST['agree'] = 1;

and change it to:

$_POST['agree'] = 1;

Re-install the product. This probably will work for 3.6.9 but I can't say for sure.

Enjoy.

3.8.1 ?

Please.


The Above works on 3.8.1 - Thank You. :D

[Welshy2008]

Is there a release of this for 4.0.2 anywhere?
