Nice, great job, thanks for sharing!

*clicks install*

[Polo]

Ok, this mod is great... loved it... anyways, for those who would like to have their rules listed by date, (oldest first instead of newest rules first) change the following around line 55 of rules.php:

$rules = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "rules ORDER BY ruleid DESC");

to

$rules = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "rules ORDER BY ruleid ASC");

What do i need to modify so that everyone, even guests can see the rules?

[HiDeo]

[Koutaru]

[ranger2kxlt]

Whats the main purpose, seems like others seem to like it, but not really sure how it works or what it does....Some insight please :-D

[turbidblue]

thanks!

* turbidblue clicks install :)

[dndog]

[Battle_Ring]

Hmmm, I Click Rules, And A Blank Screen Shows Up!....Help Me Plz

[Battle_Ring]

Oh Nvm, My Fault...Got It...Great Hack!

[mrboz]

when i view the rules page the main section is too wide.

my forums have a width of 770, the main rules page sticks out, but if i view a rule it's back to the correct width

why is this?

(see attached picture)

[daFish]

Wow.
I was looking for this and will install it in the next days.

Great work.

(see attached picture)

in the template "rules"

find

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="70%" align="center">

and change 70% to what fits you best ;)

find

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="70%" align="center">

and change 70% to what fits you best ;)no that affects the rule list table only, not the width of the page.
i found out what is was tho...

there was no $stylevar[htmldoctype] at the top of the rules template

[Caiman]

Can't use HTML?

[Mickie D]

i installed this great hack but its not the one i was after :(

i was sure i read that you could make your members agree to the rules or they would not be allowed to view the forums ?

[HiDeo]

No, it's simply a display of your rules, but you can edit the rules in the register form ! Members have to agree this rules or they would not be allowed to view the forums

[nelto]

I just installed this, but....
where do I go on the admin area to insert my rules?
I cant find anything there.

[Mamochka]

I have a problem.
I have installed the hack,but i became an error from MySQL in init.php :
Line 517

What can i do?
I need this hack.

[HiDeo]

I suggest you to desinstall and reinstall the hack because I can't see the bug and nobody tell me about this bug !

[Mamochka]

Hallo!

Just now i have reinstall hack.
Here is error:
Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /www/includes/init.php on line 517

Database error in vBulletin :

My init.php line 517:

OR styleid =
The value is empty.
Where is a problem?

[rex_b]

I have a question.

I changed the name of the files to advertise.php and admincp/advertise.php and I changed the code where everytime I saw rules.php i put advertise.php

Now I got the hack all going I can access advertise.php and I can see the stuff in the admincp but when I try to add something in the admincp it just gives me a blank screen.

Did I miss something?

[rex_b]

anybody ^^^^

[HiDeo]

Do you edit the .php files ?

[rex_b]

edited them everywhere it said rules.php I changed to advertise.php

[X-Fan]

Cool hack, thanks!

I have a request, though, and that is to be able to select the order that the rules are displayed in. Is that possible to do?

[rex_b]

edited them everywhere it said rules.php I changed to advertise.php

I figured it out. Just leave the admincp/rules.php the same. And it works!

[shadiguy1]

for some reason everything works for the rules hack except the Button in the admincp is showing up blank then if u click the blank button it will show rules manager and add a rule. Any info would be greatly helpful and yes the hack is working otherwise i can ad rules and they will display on the forums if clicked just the title of the button in admincp is not working please help

[Delphiprogrammi]

installation went fine but no rules i add them but they don't show up in the attached image you'll see what i mean

[TwinsX2Dad]

Did you upload the rules.php files correctly?

One goes in your forum root directory, while the other (admin/rules.php) goe in your admincp folder.

My install went flawlessly, even though I did a little customizing on the fly.

*** install clicked ***

[trevelyn1015]

Execute this request :

CREATE TABLE rules (
ruleid int(5) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
title varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
description mediumtext NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (ruleid)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

?????????????????????

[Delphiprogrammi]

hehe the database table is already there otherwise it wouldn't work at all i see that "nav groep" in my acp i can even add rules but ....

[HiDeo]

TRy to reupload the rules.php files !

[FlyingHammer]

aight, I know htis is a stupid mistake on my part some where. I have been at this for 2 pathetic hours, I have deleted and reinstalled, checked the list twice, 2 problems.

1. Rules is NOT showing up on the navbar --I bet this is a style error of somesort, I only have 2 styles default and HT I have done everything in HT.

2.The button in the admincp DOES NOT say Rules manager --I redid the phrases trying to correct this and looked in the rules.php.

Any help please, ohh and I have the forums shut off for this and about 4 other hacks, simply due to backing it up and haveing people post whaile I was working onit. I found it easier to tell em to wait thatn to deal with loosing their posts when ya have to restore from the backup so time is of the essance here.

THANKS, Hammer

[FlyingHammer]

Is it posible to show all the rules in one list instead of each rule being a different page.

[nnjj.net]

[DS MrSinister]

any plans on porting this bad boy over to 3.5?

:D

[jokerz]

Very easy to install but instruction is hard to understand... No problem so far but!

"Could not find phrase 'saved_rule_x_successfully'"

I did add that in phase (Type Help Control Panel Stop Message)

[jokerz]

Nevermind. I upgraded to the latest version

[vtx1800]

Anyone know if this or another rules page hack will run on 3.5.2?
