Bypass registration rules and add to signup page

Thanks :-)
Just what I needed.

[ringleader]

Thanks :-)
Just what I needed.

Glad you like it. Thanks for the install!

[janslu]

I didn't check properly. It doesn't work on my forum (3.8.0 rc1). No matter if I check the box I land on a "You didn't accept rules" page. Any idea what may be wrong?

[ringleader]

My bad.

Change this in the template edit:

<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>


to this:


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

[janslu]

Thanks. Everything works fine.

This mod stopped working in 3.8. Anyway to get this working again?

[xlguy]

I'd also love to get this for 3.8 if possible?

I had to make a super-fast-and-dirty hack to make this work again. This is a core file change, so don't do it unless you're fine doing it before every upgrade:

In register.php find this:

if (!$vbulletin->GPC['agree'])
{
eval(standard_error(fetch_error('register_not_agre ed', $vbulletin->options['forumhome'], $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q'])));
}
And comment out the "eval" line:
if (!$vbulletin->GPC['agree'])
{
#eval(standard_error(fetch_error('register_not_agr eed', $vbulletin->options['forumhome'], $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q'])));
}
It's something like line 587 or so in 3.8. Anywho, that's the "bad" way of fixing the issue. :erm: Personally I don't care since this is like the third thing I have to hack in register.php to make the registration process not suck so bad.

Quick and dirty hack is installed and working on 3.8

I'm on vbulletin 3.7.2 and I tried installing this mod and it only worked halfway. It added the forum rules to the registration page, but it didn't remove the forum rules page before it.

Has anyone else had this problem with 3.7.2? Another thing that could be causing this problem is the fact that I'm using a vbDrupal installation as my backbone. However, I do have my registration method set to vbulletin so I dont think that would be the cause of the problem.

Thanks for any help in advance!

haha love the plugin :p was playing around with the register php and that plugin
messed it up so now it skips age verification + rules alltogether and jumps straigth
to normal registrations.

[Vaupell]

Edit with this plugin edit.. it works on 3.8.1 as intended.

changeing signup to checkdate
which still enableds DOB on 3.8.1
else its without DOB.

// if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'signup')
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'checkdate')
{
$_REQUEST['do'] = 'register';
$_POST['agree'] = '1';
}

Mod installed.. tx. :up: :up:

[timhj]

No issues with 3.8.2 fyi... thanks.

[ihstiv]

works great. thanks.

[JohorBahru]

it's working on 3.8.4 without any extra modification :)

[doob]

I had to hack the plugin to this to get it to work on 3.8.2.

if ($_REQUEST['do'] = 'signup')
{
$_REQUEST['do'] = 'register';
$_POST['agree'] = '1';
}
