if anyone has an issue like this please post, i will look into this

[SİMAR]

[apnifry]

[TheSupportForum]

Thanks done. Still missing title. Title should be like "Privacy Policy"

are you reqyesting i change Privacy & Google Adsense Policy
to Privacy Policy

[apnifry]

are you reqyesting i change Privacy & Google Adsense Policy
to Privacy Policy

Title in the browser is not coming up while browsing the page. It only shows the default title set by Vbulletin. It should always be Privacy Policy - Your Forum Name instead of that it show up as "Your Forum Name"

Hopefully you get it what I mean.

[djbaxter]

Your version numbering makes no sense. Previously, you released 4.0.2 amd 4.0.3, then 4.1.0, then 4.2.0...

... and now 4.0.0?

Your version numbering makes no sense. Previously, you released 4.0.2 amd 4.0.3, then 4.1.0, then 4.2.0...

... and now 4.0.0?

this was due to vbulletin being in beta, now vb4 gold is released my version numbering will be more consistent

[djbaxter]

For future reference, 4.0b1, 4.0b2, 4.0b3, etc., would have made more sense.

[Boko577]

Don't understand. I don't know what the installation method is. Please post further info on how to install, thanks in advance!

[KissOfDeath]

Thanks, installed but i'm not sure exactly where it's put the privacy information?

[MikeWarner]

Please provide some instructions on how to install. Where do you upload files? Do permissions need to be changed?..... I can't get this working at all.

[Alex@Mk3OC]

You need to upload privacy_policy.php and the SpryAssets folder to your forum root then import the product-google_adsense_t4u2.xml in the Product Manager.

Then you need to set the privacy statement URl in vBulletin options -> Site Name / URL / Contact Details

Then it's done

[M3xital]

Thanks Works great!

[LCN2007]

Simon,

I see that you still needed testers.

Tested and works as designed on the following:

IE8
Firefox 3.5.7
BlackBerry (Storm) Browser

I didn't see any flaws yet i will keep you posted.

Thank you for this.

[Sador]

Just installed this on a test board. It works, however, there are a few things.

For example, not everyone is English. I have no problems with translating everything, but after I did that, I found out that there's still information on the privacy policy you can't change from the admin CP, but which is still English.

Changes in this Privacy Statement Collapse this Category

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our home page.

and


PLEASE NOTE that opting out of the ad-serving cookie does not mean that you will stop seeing either pop up advertising or banner ads embedded in websites! You can control many pop ups by using free software available on the Internet or by disabling JavaScript on your browser. DoubleClick has no control over the use or frequency of pop-up ads employed by website publishers or software manufacturers. For more information about pop-up ads, please click here.

It would be better if you can translate those too from the admin CP.

Also, I don't need all of the space you've given me, so the last few are blanc. But, the privacy_policy doesn't delete those, it still shows them.. like this:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

I would like it a whole lot better if I could choose what to show and what not to show...

Last but not least, there's no link in the footer or anywhere else to this page...

Otherwise, nice mod. Hope you'll fix these issues at some point..

so you wish to have an option to enable or disable the showing of each section

also the whole MOD editable in admincp

if this is the case

i can do this no problem

however i had this planned for a pro version for just $6 does that sound good
as its by 30th birthday today i will work on this tomorrow

installed, works great!

[flyerndiver]

The page loads, but we get the following error in IE7:

Internet Explorer cannot open the internet site at http://site.com/privacy_policy.php.

Operation Aborted

Again the page loads, but we get this pop-up--only in IE7

We get the same "error in your t4s hack as well. Is this trying to inject a trojan or something?

...lots of validation errors too...

[flyerndiver]

I just found this:

How to Fix ?Internet Explorer Cannot Open the Internet Site- Operation Aborted? Error
This error shows up when the page loads (or tries to load). There are many scenarios that can cause this error which occurs in IE. Microsoft has even issued a patch for solving it.

This error is being caused by calling a piece of Javascript within a page (after the tag). Adding the defer=?defer? tag to the script quickly resolves the issue.

view sourceprint?1 <script defer="defer" type="text/javascript" src="src goes here">/*code goes here*/</script>

Hope this helps someone!


I did a google search and came up with this here:

http://www.richardcastera.com/2009/05/10/how-to-fix-internet-explorer-cannot-open-the-internet-site-operation-aborted-error/

I don't know how to institute this or even if it will fix it...

[Dragonsys]

There are several unclosed divs at the bottom of the template. I had to add 4 /divs to get the page to display properly.

Also, the link at the end of the page (For more information about pop-up ads, please click here.) goes to a bad location (/us/about_doubleclick/privacy/faq.asp#pop-ups), it is a relative link, so it will not work on all websites... Where is this link actually supposed to go? Here http://www.doubleclick.com/privacy/faq.aspx#pop-ups maybe?

The Last Edited Date, should not be hard coded in the template either.

Otherwise, great Mod!

Would it be possible to be able to add additional sections to this as well?

[misterQz]

worked perfectly for me :) thanks alot

[Brandon Sheley]

nice mod, do you have to use the built in vbulletin-adsense setup?
could this mod be used even if you manually place the ads yourself?

[Peter Cook]

I am runnig VB suite 4.1.2 and I have installed all fine however, I cannot find the privacy policy anywhere on the forums at all. I have also checked the FAQ's

Check your footer link where it has Admin and Mod links.

[Peter Cook]

Check your footer link where it has Admin and Mod links.

I had checked there previously and nothing appeared! I have since removed this mod

[Peter Cook]

OK I have found a way around the text missing from the footer and that was to add the link to the privacu policy in the navbar! However, I would rather place the link in the footer bar but cannot manage to get it there! I am also thinking that if I cannot get it there then to add the link in the FAQ's instead of the navbar!

Any idea's on what to do, as I would prefer it in the footer bar

Did you do this part?
set your Privacy Statement URL in admincp to privacy_policy.php

[interfx]

Is this mod still supported? or is there other versions out there now that do the same thing? The formatting was all messed up...

[Peter Cook]

Did you do this part?

Where would I find the Privacy Statement to add the URL? I cannot find it!

Update: Don't worry I found it!!! lol

[Peter Cook]

The only problem I now have is that the text in the header blocks is not visible! I would like to be able to change the colour for these!

[TCB]

Thanks a lot for this addon (y)

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2053927&postcount=43

Does not seem to be supported, as I have sent several code fixes, yet the mod has not been updated in over a year and a half.

I plan on just re-writing this from scratch for my site, using a Custom Page, same with the Privacy Policy.

[kylek]

Installed on 4.2.1 works fine.

[ikymbo]

also work fine on 4.2.2, thanks bro !
