Installed, great for new threads but is there ANY way this can be modded to also show up above the quick reply box and when invoking "new reply" or advanced reply?

If anyone knows how or has an alternate hack that does this please let me know.

Thanks for this addon it`s geat, but it would be nice if the Options in the quote would be possible.

my favorite request too :D

in case anyone else hasnt figured this out already, I got it to work for Post Reply and Quote Reply by doing the following.

1. Open the product-newthread_posting_rules.xml file in Dreamweaver or your favorite editor and resave it as product-newreply_posting_rules.xml

2. Open your new product-newreply_posting_rules.xml file, then find & replace the phrase "newthread" with "newreply" (i believe it changed 30 or 31 phrases), then save the file again.

3. Find the following text in Template newreply

Code:

<span class="smallfont" style="float:$stylevar[right]"><strong>$vbphrase[thread]</strong>: $threadinfo[prefix_plain_html] <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$threadinfo[threadid]">$threadinfo[title]</a></span>

                $vbphrase[reply_to_thread]

        </td>

</tr>

Below that add the following text
$newreply_posting_rules

4. Upload product-newreply_posting_rules.xml as a product just as you did the new thread posting rules.

Once installed, it will say you have two New Thread Posting Rules products installed (if you hover over them you will see they are different) and it will also show two of the same in the vBulletin Options menu.

Lastly, it also adds a second rules box in your Forum Manager below the first one that was added. Simply copy and paste your rules to that box as well or make different rules, save them and youre done.

The rules will now appear when posting New Thread, Post Reply or Quote Reply.

I know this is an old thread, but this has to be one of the most useful mods ever for vBulletin...I love it! :D

does anyone have it running on 4.1.8?
thanks

Any vB4 version would be welcome :)

ok, well I didnt get this working on Vb4 but instead did the mod myself. Its a piece of cake. For the template you want to edit (or repeat for all of them if you want to)

Go to Style Manager --> Edit Templates --> New Posting Templates --> newthread....

find this bit of code

Quote:

{vb:raw prefix_options}
</select>

</vb:if>

Underneath this closing if statement, add the text you have in the vbulletin options > advanced posting rules.. text area (or just add the text you want)
Paste it in here. Save and reload the template.
Job done. All new thread postings will have your advanced posting rules posted and formatted above the post titles.
heres an example of some new rules you could edit to your needs.
