Tried reinstalling many times but still has the same problems. I too had to un-install this. The questions about nothing happening after hitting submit and the timer not counting down or sticking have been asked many times through the 3.7 and 3.8 mod threads but I have never seen any answers posted.

Does anyone know what the problem is or how to fix this?

It works fine, but when its on a new user and you click accept for rules, it fails and does not work...

Could you improve your hack in an option to only set force users to read rules for a specific forum? Instead of the entire site, i would like to use it in a couple forum area's.
Please don't forgot about it !

Thanks for the mod.

I'm a little confused. How do I set it up so that during registration, they get this forum rule method with the timer (basically, this mod kicks in) instead of vb default. I enabled the hack and set it up and all. I see the link in navbar but the registration still shows default forum rules little box .

I have a question about this modification. So far everything works perfectly fine. However I have noticed that members can still bypass the rule agreement if they click on the "Go to first unread post" link on forumhome. Members can also bypass the agreement if they already know the url to a thread. Do you think it is possible to also have this sorted out in future releases? Thanks.

I have been after something like this for years and so far have not seen anything. Is it likely that further iterations of this will include the ability to have forum specific rules or is the reason that its never appeared due to the fact its impossible.

So many people have requested it that I am amazed not one person has developed it.

Possible you can add a feature so you can add rules to specific usergroups? As I have a private section which only a few usergroups have access to, and I'd like to give them special forum section rules.

EDIT:
What he said actually... That would be awesome.

is there a way to see in the users profile if they accepted the rules instead of running the query? this would be for admin views only.

3.8.1

FYI: If I set "Seconds to wait before "Accept" button is clickable (blank to disable)" to blank, then javascript errored out stating that it could not find the function Cafr_buttonCounter().

If I set it to a number (like 1), it works.

I'm guessing that segment of code is not being outputed if that option is disabled.

Thanks, cool mod!
-Who Dah?

it seems your submit button have numerous compatibility problem.

i tested it on IE7, opera mini, netfront browser and none of it works, it only works fine in firefox & opera (still have problem with disabled countdown).

please check again your button or maybe you could just use standard form button instead of the ajax one.

BUG:

Registration Rules Options are still only replacing the Forumrules on Registration and not the Phrase $vbphrase[forum_rules_link].

At Showthread the Link is still going to /misc.php?do=showrules and not to /misc.php?do=cfrules.

vBulletin 3.8.2!

Can we get a list of compiled known current bugs?

- browser version
- vbulletin version
- bug explained in detail

I'd love to try this, but I'd rather play it safe first.

Isn't this supposed to be applied during new registration as well? Because it isn't on my end.

I tried replace with forum rules and leave as is options, same thing.

Thanks now my members are able to read the rules even they dont want:)

Hi Cyb,

i'm getting confused, now where do i set the rules? i don't find any boxes like before to entry the rules

Cyb.....you legend!! :D

Yeah. Where do I set the rules?

Edit:
Okay I looked through the Addon Code and found it:
/forum/misc.php?do=cfrules_mng

Where is the link to set the rules ? - I know manually you goto misc.php?do=cfrules_mng but where is the link with admin cp ?

Link to 'Rules Management' is found on 'Forum Rules' page: :)

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/04/58.jpg

thank you, installed, works fine :up:

Okay. I didn't see the link to the management page, because it wasn't at a place I normally look for such a link. My problem / I can change my template. No problem.

But some other stuff isn't exactly the way I supposed it to be.
- I can't add more then one rule set to a forum. I have standard rules that apply to every board, and I won't copy them about 20 times. ;)
- The page where I apply rule sets to forums should be ordered by categories, boards and sub boards. I have three sub boards that are called "Releases" (for maps, models and LUA files) and I don' want to look in the source code every time to find the one I'm searching for.

v3.9.1 - Apr 20. 2009.
-Fixed bug: Forum Permissions sometimes needs to be rebuild manually after upgrade
-Fixed bug: Redirection after accepting rules does not work properly in some cases

To upgrade:
-Import XML, allow overwrite

Thanks updated just now works perfectly!

Thanks Cyb for your awesome work but I am a little confused how the forum specific rules work.

I can see how to create the rules but how do I set them for a forum?

Also can i make people require to agree rules, say on just one forum?

Thanks again

Ok I really don't understand. I have added the new rule set for my news forum and I have set it for that forum and sub forum. But where do the rules show up?

If I want people to agree to rules for that forum does that mean I have to enable it site wide, so the general rules are also forced on people?

Thanks

When you apply some rules to forum X and set that user must read it before viewing forum or posting there, user will be redirected to rules, then back to that forum after accepting rules.

If you want to exclude forum from restrictions then apply 'None' to it.

Cyb you are a genius, it works perfectly for me. Thank you so much. I have waited years for this. :)

You're welcome ;)

Cybernetec why don't you reply to my last post? :)

Cyb there is a problem with it on my forums. When its enabled the quick reply box disappears. I had to disable your hack for it to return.

Hi again Cyb,

When Enable Hack='No' & Automatically add "Forum Rules" to Navbar set='Yes' the 'Forum Rules' navbar link (../forum/misc.php?do=cfrules) redirects to the 'Smiles' page.

Just wondered if this is a bug or not?? Or can it be made that the navbar link is not shown (regardless of setting) when the Hack is disabled.

Cheers,
Ad.

hi where to edit forum rules .... I can't find option?

Quick Reply is disabled only unless rules are accepted.
User may write message, then get error or redirection on submission, and their text is lost. So it's better to hide it temporarily.

Arachnophiles, that will be fixed in next version.

lord_of_chaos, that may be changed in future releases.

cheers for the update and hard work :)

hello,

i have one little thing - where i can change the word "Board-rules" into an other one?! i can not find it - please help ;)

Cyb,

Also noticed that when clicked, the 'Forum Rules' links (../forum/misc.php?do=showrules & ..forum/misc.php?do=cfrules) only show the default rule set (#1) and not any of the custom rules set added.

Am I doing something wrong here ? As I think they should be available at all times, should a user wish to consult/refer to them.

Cheers,
Adam.
