For breaking above rules you may be warned/banned appropriately! is now in Phrases. This is better for forums where several languages are used. "Header" was removed.

Counter should work fine now. I've tested it on two forums using Firefox Win 3.0.8, Firefox Mac 3.0.8, Safari 3.2.1, and IE8.

Thanks for the update installed no problem at all.

Thanks for a great plugin, but...

the 3.9 update broke a few settings on my forum:

Some part of the text on the rules page disappeared and the "force.." - link on the profile page disappeared.

Infraction -> "reset acceptance status" does not work either.

I am running the latest vB version (3.8.2)

If member has not accepted rules, then 'Force to accept' link in their profile is not shown.

Infraction should reset acceptance status if you have enabled this in product options. I've just tested this again, and it worked with no problems.

Please check your settings and update if needed.

I just tested it again with a new user account. It's no longer possible to force any user to accept the rules. The link on the profile appears, but when I reset acceptance status for a single user, that user can still post threads despite the current settings.

Resetting acceptance status gives users the possibility to accept the rules again, but it's not forcing them to.

Here are my settings:

Forum permissions needs to be rebuilt.

Please go to 'Manage Rules' page, then 'Apply to Forums' tab, then select at least one forum and apply some Rules Set to it. This will update permissions for all forums and product will start working properly.

Excellent, thanks for the fast help! Problem solved :)

........

Thanks for the super fast update! :up::up::up:

I'll update :)

Thanks for Updates

A few rules are set in secret/hidden sections. Any possible way that those rules cannot be displayed by usergroups that don't have the permission to view the section in the first place?

Awesome! I'll update asap.

I was concerned about the same issue~ Users can access those rules simply by changing the rule's number in the URL to view the other rules.

Great update, by the way! Thank you for your hard work.

Where is the actual Forum Rules boxes the three that you use to be able to type into. I have installed it on a mirror site of mine to check first and they aren't showing up it stops at the option just above there. "Reset acceptance status for all registered members"

As it makes hard to edit the rules this new way if that is what way you are going.

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

This update was perfection~ Thank you.

Cybernetec,

I asked above, where are the three input boxes that were there in previous versions, that you could type into there the rules ? They seem to be missing now.

Under the words "Reset acceptance status for all registered members" it is now just save options. Where do you set up these rules that you mention in the update ?

Click on 'Rules' in NavBar, then 'Manage Rules' in table header.

There you can edit, add, delete rule sets, and apply them to your forums.

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

Its working like a charm. Many thanks for adding this. It will save my staff a lot of work.

@ Cybernetec, Thanks for putting those links at the bottom makes it much easier for the novice to get to where they need to be.

Hi Cyb,

I installed the latest version of this Mod (4.0.2) but i think i have problem:

when i check my profile page (i'm Admin) i see this (Forum Rules NOT accepted) and it doesn't show like the pic here with the drop menu for Force user to accept the rules again:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...2&d=1240922230

How can i fix it please?

* Clicked Installed and Nominate

I'm having big problems with the newest version. I have successfully installed the hack and copied the previous forum rules but all I get is a blank page like so:

http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/233...notworking.png

I am certain though that I have entered the forum rules where they should be and you can see this by the next image:

http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/3...sdisplayed.png

What's going on? Help please!

Revert hack templates.

Hi,

I'm still waiting for your help ; ;

Thank you.

It shows rules acceptance status.

You have not accepted rules so there are no options to reset status.

Great Mod Cybernetec, and is Working Really Well. :up::up::up:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/07/3.gif I'd like to Propose an Idea that Would be Very Useful, Cybernetec: Could You Please Include the Possibility to List the Users that Have Accepted Each Rule? (Perhaps a Combo Box to Select the Rule and a Button to Proceed to List the Users that have Accepted that Rule). This Would be Very Nice to be able to Control the Rules Acceptances. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/07/3.gif

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/07/3.gif I'd like to Propose Other Idea, that is Also Very Useful, Cybernetec: Could You Please Include on the User's Profile Statistics Tab the List of the Rules that the User has Accepted (if possible with the Date and Time where each Rule was accepted)? This is Very Useful for Users to Know what They and Other Users Have Accepted. It'd be Really Good if You Can Also Provide a Link on Each Rule's Title to the Description of the Rule so that the User can Read Again and Remember what has Accepted on Each Rule. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/07/3.gif

I Hope You Can Include those Options on Your Next Update, Cybernetec. ;)

(Note for Admins: Be careful Not to Include Character " in the Text for the Accept Rules Button that Appears when User don't Accept the Rules, because that Disables the Button and also the Use of the Acceptance Check Box.)

My Best Regards and Thank You Very Much For Sharing This Very Useful Mod. :up:

:)

One Small Detail: I noticed that when I Use a Created by me BBCode on the General Rules, (in particular one for Spoiler), and I see the General Rules as Guest (Not Logged), the BB Code Spoiler don't Work but the Spoiler Tags ([SPOILER ][ /SPOILER]) are Displayed in the Rules Text, but if I see the same General Rules as a Registered User the Spoiler BB Code is Displayed Fine on the General Rules. Perhaps is a Small Detail with some Permissions Set for Registered Users and Not for Guests that is Affecting the Display of the General Rules (I guess the Other Created Rules should have this Issue too).

I Hope You Can Fix that Small Detail on Your Next Update, Cybernetec. ;)

My Best Regards.

:)

You must have a fun board. Not only do you want users to accept each rule individually, you include spoilers in the rules???

I'm not even going to ask why you would put spoilers in your forum rules. But what's the point of tracking which rules users have accepted? If I didn't accept your rule against pr0n, does that mean I can post all the pr0n I want?

I Place a Spoiler on the Steps of the Registration on My Board on the General Rules, which Occupy like 20 Lines and I wish to Focus the Attention of my Forumers to the Behaviour Rules but to Allow them to Read the Steps and Conditions for Registering, (in case a New Non Registered Guest Decides to Read the Forum Registration Steps which are in the Spoiler), in the Registration Rules of my Board this Steps and Conditions are not Hidden because in that Registration Process is Necessary for them to Read those Steps (and if are not Accepted then I Specifically Ask Not to Register in my Forums), but not by Reading the Forum Rules Provided by this Mod where I Like to Focus the Attention of the Readers to other Aspects of the Forum's Rules.

Also, you're not Picturing the Complete Panorama, if you Create a YouTube BBCode Tag and you Include it in the General Forum Rules and a Guest Reads them then All the Guest Will see will be

[YOUTUBEBBCODE]CodeOfMovie[/YOUTUBEBBCODE]

instead of the Video, and that for ALL the BBCodes You Created and Include in the Text; (as I mentioned the Registered Users will see the HTML that the BBCode Replaces so in that case they'll see the YouTube Video and not the BBCode Tag). That's where I'm Focusing my Post Directed to Cybernetec so that He Can Check the Code and Correct it. :cool:

My Best Regards.

:)

Cybernetec, the Custom BBCodes are also not Displayed on the Rules for Users that are on Usergroups 3 and 4, as well as for Usergroup 1 (Guests); I've just checked that on a Testing Account, when the General Rules got Displayed when Trying to Access a Forum. :(

My Best Regards.

:)

i think that it should be made that when "strangers" or non logged in members read the rules the two green bars at the top/bottom do not appear. (basically the same result as if an admin/mod/super mod were to read the rules), since it doesn't matter or make a difference. (..or does it ?) ...and i think it would look better that way. (i guess i could add the unregistered group to the hack control panel and that would do this, but is it safe?)

also i would like to change some of the text strings. ie: I have read, and agree to abide by the {1} rules. should i edit this in the xml file and re-upload it or via the admincp ? (if via the admnicp which phrase or where can i change this and others)
because i want to remove the "the" before {1}, because otherwise with my forums it will "sound" not quite right. ..i also want to slightly modify the pop up text that shows if a user wants to submit the rules but does not click the box. as it is it shows: You have chosen not to accept the Forum Rules. Select the checkbox and then Submit the form. Until you accept the Forum Rules you will not be able to use some forum functions.


thanks,
