New feature update:
The abilty to set all users back to not read so you can update the rules, and reforce the users to check the box again. Please redownload from the first post of this thread. See new screenshot for a better understanding.

U rule....going to install it tommorow after i get some sleep

Thanks a million:)

Ps

I think, u have the best support in hacks...its pity u are not the one who has released hacks like V3 Articles...u could have done good job there too:) Its pity, as it is dead now:(

Thanks alot lanc, well I have time now as i'm no longer the owner at vBhacks.us. And the more hacks I release and support the more I seem to learn. Got a couple of big hacks coming soon, well big to me cause they took awhile to write.

And I thank you and everyone else that uses this hack, gives feedback, and clicks the install button! :)

In the Rules in The index txt, u say to run a query..

That means, run an sql query or is somewhere else?

:nervous:

Is there anyway to put a delay on this so it stops peeps just agreeing to the rules and not reading them?

Laters

i tried to run the query and got
An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1146
error desc: Table 'djjeffa_djjeffaVB.user' doesn't exist
I have seen tis error befor when tring to install hacks do any of you have any tips or ideals?

djjeffa, looks like you didn't do the changes to the admincp/queries.php correctly. looks like the "case 05:..." is missing

Nutzz, do the 'Navbar' template change and edit the rules.php and delete this:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (!$bbuserinfo['userid'])

{

        print_no_permission();

}

after that guest can follow the rules link in the navbar.

Try this for the forum_rules template instead:

PHP Code:


		
			
$stylevar[htmldoctype]

<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">

<head>

        <!-- no cache headers -->

        <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />

        <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />

        <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />

        <!-- end no cache headers -->

        <title><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[x_powered_by_vbulletin]</phrase></title>

        $headinclude

</head>

<body>

$header

$navbar

<form action="index.php" method="post">

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

<tr>

        <td class="tcat">Design Forum Rules</td>

</tr>

<tr>

        <td class="panelsurround" align="center">

        <div class="panel">



                <div style="width:640px" align="left">



                        <fieldset class="fieldset">

                                <legend>Forum Rules</legend>

                                <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3" border="0" width="100%">

                                <tr>

                                        <td>In order to proceed, you must agree with the following rules:</td>

                                </tr>

                                <tr>



                                        <td>

                                                <div class="alt1" style="border:thin inset; padding:6px; height:225px; overflow:auto">







<!-- regular forum rules -->

$vbphrase[custom_forum_rules]

<!-- regular forum rules -->

                                                </div>

                                                <div><label><input type="checkbox" name="agree" value="1" /><strong>I have read, and agree to abide by $vboptions[bbtitle] rules.</strong></label>

</div>

                                        </td>

                                </tr>



                                </table>

                        </fieldset>

        <div style="margin-top:6px">

<input type="submit" value="Submit">

Can this hack be turned off and on from admin?

Reason I ask is I want to install it but have not sorted out any rules as yet so I want to have the option to disable it for now.

Hello everyone, I am using the cp version of this mod on vb 3.0.7.... All is working except that when the cp linked the person will put a check mark in the the I agree and when they go back to the CP they have to again agree to the terms.

Did I install something incorrectly which is causing the rules to be agreed to everytime someone goes to the CP panel or is this how this was designed?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

works great on vb3.07 - thanks
