anybody help please?

anybody out there that can help me out please? :up:

Goto your "Forum Options" and look for "Cyb - Advanced Forum Rules" in the list click it thats where you change the link name and no it don't show up for guests

currenty the link shows as

<font color="#000000">Forum Rules</font>

(i.e. this is merely the text shown on the Navbar ... where do I find the actual link that this text links to?)

Go to "Search in Templates" and in the search type "cyb_frules_link" in there is where the link can be found

thanks mate.. looks like I'm finally getting somewhere ... :) ...ok I found the above phrase in the template ... this is whats behind it:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/misc.php?do=cfrules">$vboptions[cybfrules_link_edit]</a></td>

I've changed this to

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="misc.php?do=cfrules">$vboptions[cybfrules_link_edit]</a></td>

and now it works! TA :)

any idea as to how I'd make it viewable to guests? i.e. since I want them to see the rules before they sign up!

cheers

Nice hack ...thanks!! Installed!

i added the rules link in my navbar so that guests can see the rules

Hi

thanks for the suggestion.. :) .. funny thing is that my navbar template does not actually contain the '$cyb_frules_link' statement ... if I add that statement, I get TWO links in my navbar ...!

EDIT:

Aha!...but I finally found how to do it ..maybe its to do with the version of vbulletin I am using (3.64) .. all I did was delete the above 'if condition' surrounding '......vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td>"


cheers!

This is brilliant. Thanks heaps!!!:up:

One question. How can I replace the standard vb rules agreement during the registration process with the new rules?

edit: I don't want them to have to sign 2 rules agreements. Thanks.

I cannot find vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td> in my navbar :mad: is there anywhere else i can put it?

Sugestion: Force user read it too before send pms

That would lead to problems with those users who are on proxy and experience problems with the submit button not appearing.

I want to know this too. Thanks :)

Guests can't accept the rules. When they click "Accept", the rules simply reload. I want to allow guests to post too and I want them to have to accept the forum rules.

when my members try and view the rules, the accept button does not appear after any ammount of time. have tried setting it to 0 to make it visable but this dont wokr.

i want it so they have to accept but is there a way of making it so the button is there all the itme?

this sucks...UNINSTALLED until it is fixed!!!

It works just fine for me. Thank you for your constructive comment!

not for me...when guest try to register..it keeps going back to the rules screen.

Have you fully read this thread?

yep....ok?

What do you think about proxies, browser settings and java then?

thanks

Upgrade Info: Import product XML, allow overwrite.

Nice! Look like the update works.

why now i can't choose the color for the link on navbar??

Yes, you can. Search for "Forum Rules" in Phrase Manager. It's moved there...

Automatically add "Forum Rules" to Navbar UMMM I clicked it to enable it..but its not showing up.

AWESOME hack, thanks every so much!! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for.

This is a dumb question - if I don't have the registration use the same "rules" as these, could I use this as an "Announcement" kind of hack, where people must read this "announcement" before posting, etc? I realize that this doesn't keep a history of rules, and would only display the most recent 'announcement' to new users.

Just making my brain think too hard without coffee!

Hi

how can we leave a line between each forum rule?

thanks!

Press "Enter" LOL.

Thanks. I like the replacing default vb rules option. How do I increase font size there?

Also, I previosly had problems with the accept button not showing up for some members. Will it show with this upgrade?

(I have a Q on the AFS thread too :o )

When I Reset acceptance status for all registered members, it brings me to the smileys page and doesn't reset me to accept again.
Also, when I clicked in my profile to force acceptance, it does the same as above.

It worked fine the first time for me. I didn't test it with any of my members yet though. It could be because I'm the super admin.

Any thoughts?

Edit: this is the link when I force acceptance

If you are in "excluded groups" in hack settings (as admin you ARE by default) it will never ask you to accept Forum Rules.

Try to remove admin usergroup (#6) from excluded usergroups and then see if Forum Rules page contains green fields with acceptance form.

Works now. My usergroup was other than #6, I added myself to the admin usergroup and all is fine.

Great mod by the way! :up: :up:

Great Mod. But it increased spam on my boards. User were just trying to spam away till the minimum post count is met! I have been busy banning since morning.

Great mod, installed, thanks a lot.

updated!
