Neptun, it's all in Phrase Manager.

Arachnophiles, I may add drop-down menu to Rules page with list of all rules sets, where user will be able to read them all if interested.

That would be very helpful...thank you :)

But surely this should be for the forum where the rules are applied.

On my forum I want rules only on my news forum. So I have turned rules off on all forums apart from news.

But the quick reply is missing for all users across all forums. Some people will never visit 'news forum' to accept the rules.

v3.9.2 - Apr 21. 2009.
-New: Drop-down menu with the rule set list on Rules page
-New: General Rules always shown at the top of table, requested Rules below it
-New: 'Forum Rules' link at the bottom of forumdisplay will lead user to that forum's rule set
-Fixed bug: Navbar link is not disabled when you disable product in options
-Fixed bug: Quick Reply hidden for users who have not accepted Rules even if forum is excluded from restrictions
-Forums better sorted on the list, now linked and some more details are shown

To upgrade:
-Import XML, allow overwrite
-Revert product templates if modified before

Note:
I've also updated screenshots in this thread.

Thanks but I can't import the product :

Use original XML, re-download if needed.

What is the URL to access your rule sets again?

Thank you Cyb. This updates makes my life so much easier. ;)

The forums are still not sorted, but that is a lot better then before.

Hi there, really like this mod and everything seems to be working except for one thing.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

As you can see the “Forum Rules” button is a different color than the rest because the <td> tag that it's in has a class of “vbmenu_control” and the style on my board uses a different class. I hope that made sense. :o

So does anybody have any ideas how I might be able to change that for only one theme? I thought about editing the plugin but that would change all of them.

Any help is appreciated. :up:

Thanks for fixing that cyb, for a next release it would be great if the General rules was an option to be shown above forum specific rules as now I have a long list on the forum with the rules enabled.

You can see what I mean here http://www.soapchat.net/forumdisplay.php?f=190

Ideally I would only have the news forum rules showing as I can link to the general rules if I require or even add them in.

Automatically add "Force User To Accept Forum Rules" to member profiles

no longer works.

I tried manually inserting $cyb_frules_force into templates and it still doesn't show.

Be noted that 'Force user' will not be shown in profile if user has not accepted rules.

Ah I did not know that, thanks.

As a normal member, I can see rules that are being shown only in private sections. Anyway this can be changed? So rules in private sections can only be shown to the people who are in the right usergroup?

Forum permissions will be applied to this in next version.

Hi nice to have, but where are the boxes that use to be there to actually type in rules underneath the Reset acceptance status for all registered members line there were 3 boxes that you could input into ?

Thanks,

Peter

Hi,

Can you tell me what I need to do to upgrade to tis version?

I have the previous version to this.

Thanks

Go to your AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]

Browse for product XML, check OVERWRITE, then Import.

(I posted this on the last page but I didn't want it getting lost in the shuffle)

Updated mine.

Awesome work so far Cyb, thanks for turning around these changes so quickly :D

I agree, or at least 'minimised' by default when a separate forum rules link is followed.

I noticed this too. Look forward to the permissions :D


On a more trivial note, is possible to have the 'Forum Rules' link open in the same window rather than a separate browser/tab? As I find some people get a little frightened when the 'Back' button doesn't work :rolleyes:

Cheers,
Adam.

A few things I'd like to point out with this hack.

1. Installed with no errors.
2. Setup Cyb-Advanced Forum Rules
3. Reset Acceptance Stats

Other than the AdminCP, there are no drop down menus as indicated in the document. There are no other admin items unless you plug them in manually, as indicated here (/forum/misc.php?do=cfrules_mng).

I do have the "Manage Rules" box but clicking on that simply brings me back to the admin cp where I can adjust the settings.

Logging in as a non-admin user to my site:
1. I am forced to accept the rules
2. No rules appear, just a box (Yes, I've created a new rule and applied them to all of my forums).
3. Clicking on the countdown simply disables the countdown from counting down.

Also as noted here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....8&postcount=80

I'm receiving the same.

Revert hack templates.

Nice updates, thanks. Quick question though, a few versions back there was an option to have text above and below the rules box. Is that option still available? I can't seem to locate it in either the control panel or the manage rules section.

Text above was removed.

Text below ('For breaking above rules you may be warned/banned appropriately') was moved to Phrases.

I have everything installed and set up without a hitch. I reset everyone to force them to accept the rules but when they are redirected to accept the rules there is an error message saying they have reached an invalid forum. I am using vbseo if that has anything to do with it, not to sure.

v3.9.3 - Apr 25. 2009.
-New: User can not view Rule sets applied to no-permissions-to-view forums
-Above works also with 'Cyb - Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count' add-on
-New: Choose if General Rules will be Always shown, Collapsed if there is another rule set requested, or Disabled when there are other rules shown
-'Forum Rules' links in showthread, newthread, and newreply are also now redirected to the Cyb Forum Rules
-New: "Rules NOT accepted" shown in user profiles when they have this status

Upgrade instructions:
-Import product XML, allow overwrite
-IMPORTANT: Check product settings and update if needed (some settings are changed, some added)
-Revert hack templates if you modified any earlier

Request:

Option to show when (Time/Date) a User has accepted the Rules last Time at Userprofile.

First off thank you for Exceptional mods. You do awesome work and I appreciate it.

Now, can you explain this further? I'm not sure I understand what this means (the quoted part).

Example:

You have 2 rule sets:
1. General Rules
2. VIP Zone Rules

You set in options that user must accept Forum Rules before can view VIP Zone.
User is clicking on VIP Zone forum link and gets redirected to Rules page to accept it.

Now VIP Zone Rules will be shown anyway. Using mentioned ACP option you can set if General Rules will also be shown on the Rules page.

There are three options:
1. Show Always - Rules page will contain General Rules block + VIP Zone Rules block
2. General Rules Collapsed - Rules page will contain General Rules block which is collapsed by default + VIP Zone Rules block
3. General Rules Disabled - Rules page will contain only VIP Zone Rules

Be noted that General Rules are always available on Rules page when there are no other rule sets requested, for example when you click directly Forum Rules link in navbar. Also if you enable rule sets drop-down menu, user will be able to select and read them.

Hope this helps.

I get this when trying to force someone to accept the rules via the profile link: (latest upgrade of mod)

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

(trying a fresh install)

I have a suggestion if it hasn't already been done yet. You see, other than general rules, we also have rule that are for individual forums. So is it possible for members required to accepted both rules individually whether than having them bunched up into one? Just wondering.

Just updated from a very older version, where do I now edit/add forums rules ?

Updated Thanks:)

@dannykilla - go in your Rules Link here is the SS by Cyb

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...8&d=1240321103

you will see in the top right side the Manage Rules Link just click it then you will see another link the which is the Edit Link:)

forumurl/misc.php?do=cfrules

You should see a link on the upper right corner called "Manage Rules". Click that to manage rule sets or add new ones.

Bug detected: if in title of rule set i add ", this rule set will not shown on rules page.

Until it's fixed just add backslashes(\) before quotes.

"Rules" -> \"Rules\"

Nevermind, I figured it out!

I have a user right now on my forums that is view a thread, and I went into his profile to see if it updated to show the user has read the rules but it says "Forum Guidelines NOT accepted" instead. But I have it set to where they need to be accepted before users can post and view? Whats the problem here?

How do I set it up so that ALL rules sets are displayed at the same time? I'd like to divide my rules up into four sets: Forum Rules, Infraction System, Terms of Use Agreement, Privacy Policy.

Thanks.
