no , group 11
i created a new group for forum owners

i guess the mod only works for group 6 , so how can i change that ?

edit : i actually transfered my self to group 6 to check it
and it still doesn't work

I just installed and had this same problem, if the hack is disabled. I just enabled it and then I get the rules edit page.

well it seems changing to group 6 worked after all

but there's a different problem

i don't write the rules in english but in an another language

and all i see is question marks ( ????????? )

anyone ??

thanks

* Thanks & Installed * :up:

Would be nice to force users to accept again if rules have been edited, added.

How can i change the color of Rules NOT Accepted in Memberinfo ? (Just realised that is the same confugured for the navbar link)

Also in next updates, if it is possible not to display that message in member's profile for the groups excluded (5,6,7) would be great

sweet and thank you..

I found a bug as I think and sure.

1. Go to "ACP -> vBulletin Options -> Cyb - Advanced Forum Rules"
2. Check in "Permission Settings - Before Accepting Rules User Can Not" the option:
   • Send e-mails
3. Save
4. No try to load in another browser from anonymous user the page
   • "Contact Us" -> http://you.forum.com/sendmessage.php
5. You will get a message "You must first accept the Forum Rules to be able to send e-mails!"

The same will be for registered users.

I am quit sure that "Contact Us" must not be influenced with permission of "Send e-mails" option.

It's not bug. I wanted to include 'Contact Us' here.

Cybernetec, can I try to disagree with you?

• Example 0 (was 3 but I moved it above as it is the most important one):
  • A lot of forums use 'Contact Us' as 'Contact Us'.
    
    In other words there can be:
    • 'Contact Us about advertisement'
    • 'Contact Us about hosting'
    • 'Contact Us promotions'
    • 'Contact Us if you email domain is banned for registration'
    • etc.
    
    I am sure you will agree with me that it will be strange if such people will have to accept some rules.
• Example 1:
  • Some users are not able to register, for example.
    
  • They hit 'Contact Us' and see some strange rules they have to accept?
    
  • They ask me - for what we have to accept them if we even can't register.
• Example 2:
  • The same for registered users.
    
  • Some of them are not able to get activation link.
    
  • They go there to ask for it and boom... Rules...
    
  • Again, what it the reason for asking people to accept rules in such case.

• Can I ask to make some a separate option for 'Contact Us' page?
• May be also some special (separate) Rules for 'Contact Us' page. This one will be REALLY another great future.

As that 'Contact Us' page really is a special page and as I see it has nothing common with the option:
"Permission Settings -> Before Accepting Rules User Can Not -> Send e-mails"

I may add more options... but be noted that unregistered users are also able to accept rules and proceed to requested page.

Thanks, Cybernetec. Hope this will be so! :)

Yes. I know this one. Cookie is used. :D Thanks.

Wow. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks :up:

can someone please address my problem

any ideas how to fix http://forum.bmx.lt "forum rules" button background in the header?

It uses "vbmenu_control" class for TD which is not defined or not used in your style.

You may need to disable auto-insertion (product options) and add link manually to desired position (navbar template):

Hi i have the same problem - smilie page is displayed when trying to edit the rules.

I am in group "6" for administrators as a secondary group

Please Help me

Your submission could not be processed because the token has expired.

Please push the back button and reload the previous window

how to fix it i refresh and reload wont work

Ok I figured it out - if the "Enable Hack?" is set to "No" then you can not use the link to "Manage rules" if you do, you get the smilie page.

This is a shame as I'd prefer to create the rules before turning on the hack :)

One more quick question that I cant quite figure out,

We have two rule sets - I have created a forum link to the default set
http://www.mysite.com/forums/misc.php?do=cfrules

How can I make a direct link to the 2nd set of rules ?

This looks likes another great addition... thanks!

My rules disappeared when I upgraded. I had three parts of rules (rules, punishments, staff rules), and now only one part (staff rules) is showing. Also, one of my members has accepted the rules but still can't post.

How do I fix this?

You have to merge them three in one rule.

I don't know if there is a copy left in database of old rules. May be you will have to look in your back up if you don't have a copy of your rules.

I advise you always have a copy of all rules in admin's area.

I DO have a copy, but thank you. That's not my problem. I was just wondering why it changed and why my members can't post and I can't force them to accept. I mean it's disabled right now, which is a temporary fix.

If I click on Manage Rules (misc.php?do=cfrules_mng) it take me to the Smilies (misc.php?do=showsmilies) page... any idea?

edit:
opsss I see!

hello

I was wondering when a user says try to post but they have not accepted the rules. They get the redirct page saying they must accept the rules then it takes them to no thread speficied. If this is a valid link contact admin. How can have it redirect to where they accept the rules?

I think all of you are doing something wrong.

• You have to install the hack
• Got to "ACP -> vBulletin Options -> Cyb - Advanced Forum Rules"
• Create the main rule (this is "Manage Rules" link)
• Set the proper settings

i did set the settings and i did install it that way and i did set the hack up. The problem is that when a user trys to view a thread it says you must accept the forum rules (like i have it set to) but beside it redirecting to the forum rules it redierts to Invalid Link. If you followed a valid link please contact the admin. I would like to have it go to the screen to where they can accept the rules. You can check out the site in my sigi but the problem is that the hack is disabled til i can fix this so my users can still view the site. We might have to meet up on the chatroom or something so i can work the controls or work something out

My settings are fine, and even if they weren't, "Set the proper settings," isn't particularly helpful...

interesting !

keep up the good work ;)

I got it to work i dont know how but i just starting clicking buttons in maintance lol

I've double checked all maintenance and had a user help me out; I forced him to accept rules again, and he could accept the rules but he couldn't post (no post button, no quick reply box). It also says he still hasn't accepted the rules. Disabling the hack didn't help anyone with a reset status, but unchecking the boxes for what people can't do if they haven't accepted the rules makes it so he can post again. Obviously that's not what I would like to do.

You have 3.8.3 - right?

Do you have only one Rule?
May be you have created several rules and user had accepted only one?

Can you setup second clean version of vBulletin on you forum and install this mod there and test there.

This one will allow to determine - may be it is some servers problems...

Yes, I have the newest one. No, I only have one rule.

Hi,

i got this installed now some time on a Website i administrate. Some time ago we imported Users and postings from another System when the forum was just new installed. For people it works great that before they can post, they have to accept the Forum Rules. And it shows in their Profile when they did or did not.

But for all the Admins, incl. myself as main admin, I still have the "FORUM RULES NOT ACCEPTED" still in my Profile. And I can post and all that, so how do I get rid of that status which shouldnt be there as Administrator ?

In "ACP -> vBulletin Options -> Cyb - Advanced Forum Rules" there is the option:
"Usergroups excluded from restrictions (comma separated ID list)"

You can go to the rules and accept them. :)

Nice hack,, is this going to happen each time a user posts new thread and/or reply? or once accepted the rules its recorded and no need for it again?

Thanks..

Not each time, just once.

You can force them manually to re-accept, or automatically when infraction is received.
