Forum Based Agreements

This hack allows you to make your users have to agree before posting something. You can choose which forums require agreements and which don't.

And a version for Macintosh Users

damicatz, thanks for doing this man!!! I have it all installed, but...The "Require Agreement Before Posting?" button is not persisting. Meaning I select it for a particular forum, but if I open that forum in the admin area again, it's set back to "no". Checked by trying to post as well, but it didn't seem to work. Any ideas?

Attached is a copy of my forum.php.

You may NOT upload full files from vBulletin.

Was able to get this going by modifying it using phpmysql.

Thanks damicatz

[damicatz]

No Problem

I don't know why it wasn't working earlier for you, I tested it on my board, but it's good you got it working :)

[cobradude]

Thanks again damicatz.

Here's the agreement I am using for my consumer watch forum area.

[QUOTE]Club Cobra Agreement
Due to the real time nature of this site, Club Cobra is unable to verify the truth or veracity of any content posted by you on this forum. Therefore, by checking the "I Agree" box below, you agree that the content of your post belongs to you alone and that you are solely responsible and liable for any statements you make or opinions you express in your post. You further agree to hold Club Cobra, its administrators and its members completely free and harmless from any and all liabilities, including the defense thereof, arising from any statements or opinions you post.

Furthermore, by hitting the agree button below, you are indicating the following:

1. The information you are sharing is absolutely truthful.
2. You understand that YOU alone are liable for the things you say.
3. Replying to an already open topic should ONLY be done if you have valuable information to share to the issue. Negative tag on comments are NOT acceptable unless you have personal experience with the situation.
4. If this is an issue that is playing itself out in court, wait until the judgment to post.
5. MOST IMPORTANTLY: By agreeing, you are indicating that you have given the respective business an opportunity to resolve the issue.

Thank you.

I get this error when I try to update my fourm settings in admin/index.php...

Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.2.1:

Invalid SQL: UPDATE forum

Any clue why this is? - It did this after I installed your fix...

[cobradude]

Check your forum.php to ensure that you've done everything right. Based on what you have attached, it looks wrong, as it says "unknown column agree". Should be "AGREEMENT"

The php file you ran set up a field in the db for AGREEMENT, and since the code you have says agree, it can't find it.

I don't what do you mean

Using a database manager like phpmyadmin open up the templates table in your vBulletin database.

Find both template's records, and edit both of them and for both change the templateset to -1.

Any plans to make this hack available to vB3 when it goes Gold? I'd really like to use this one on my forums.

[KeithMcL]

Sorry about bringing up an old thread, but has anyone been working on a vB3 version of this?
