Forum Rules page

[Dream]

Description
Creates a page that shows your forum rules at "register.php?do=showrules"

Installation
- Create a "forum_rules" template in your root style (or in all styles you use) with the content provided in forum_rules.txt, or import it with Custom Template Manager (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=91038) using "ctm-forum-rules-page-0.1-templates.xml"
- Import the "Forum Rules page 0.1.xml" plug-in and activate it

Access it with the url

http://www.yourforums.com/register.php?do=showrules

You can change the looks of it by editing the "forum_rules" template.

To add a link in any template use

<a href="register.php?$session[sessionurl]do=showrules">forum rules</a>

if you don't know where to put the link for it, check double navigation buttons bar (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=734210)


works with: beta 3, beta 4

Thank you for sharing this Dream.

Could you please also include a text version for that template, so it can be installed manually. We don't allow that you need to install another hack first in order to install this one.

[Dream]

you don't allow it on the plug-in forum or you don't allow it anywhere?

and can it be just a code in the first post?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

We don't allow any hack/modification/plugin that needs another hack to be installed. The only exception to this is an addon to an existing hack.

I got an error trying to add the text template:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/thisdarn/public_html/vb/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3504) : eval()'d code on line 3

Unfotunatly I installed the Custom Template Manager, and when I attempt to import ctm-forum-rules-page-0.1-templates.xml I recieve the following error message:

The XML file you are trying to import is outdated. Supported versions are 0.5 and up, yours is 0.4.

Now attempting to do it manualy :p

Thanks for the hack.

[whitetigergrowl]

Nice hack...but I just use the FAQ option...then change the FAQ Phrase so it says 'FAQ/Rules'.

I use BB code for the font and I believe you can still link to the image files the same way. :)
