thanks for making this modification.
is there a way i can force users to accept these rules before every new thread or new reply ?

any chance for vB4?please.i like this one and need for my vb4.thanks

Go to valters profile. It is called VSa-Advanced Forum Rules

vB4 release: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=236069

Excellent Thanx man ...

Please take attention that if you think all options from: Before Accepting Rules User Can Not... (mostly view forums and threads) then google boot is seeing for each thread the forum rules not the thread.

I dont know what is that but aparently I have change settings and marked view threads (or forums, I don't remember) too after a long time of using the product without problems and google stop indexing my pages as he was seeing only redirect screen to forum rules.

I have totaly crashed with google as it took me v long time to figure ( I used fetch as google boot from webmaster tools) that this was the cause.
I have now 370 links indexed out of 80.000! :(
I have unticked all boxes and all is working great. Checked with fetch as... also ...

I have no clue why is this happening but I am so bussy to find out, I am just happy to solve it. Wrote for reinclusion to google.
(I was also thinking it was the redirect hack widely spread lately, I could not confirm it as I have upgraded the forum first then I found about the hack).

PS. This is not intended to put the blame on coder (many thanks man for this wonderfull hack) but to avoid google problems. I might use it wrongly as I have remembered that forum rules where cookie based and was not showing for boots.

Cyb: Some time ago you mentioned that you wanted to add rule sets for Social Groups. I am much in need of this and would like to know if you have it planned for an upcoming release. If not then I will have this function coded by someone. I dont mind paying for the function.

That only applies if you don't have your Unregistered / Not Logged In usergroup ID in the Usergroups excluded from restrictions box.

I have one problem. During registration user accept a "General Rules", right? Especially, if you have an option "Registration Rules Options - Replace with General Forum Rules". Ok, but after registration user still have "Forum Rules NOT accepted" if profile and therefore must accept the General Rules once more. Is that a bug? How can I make accepting Registration Rules user accepted General Rules? Please please please answer asap ..

Regarding the use of BB Code - for some reason it works fine in the first rule, but any additional rules after that are not parsed.

I searched this thread for BBCode and read post #1, but I cannot find anything about this.

A large number of websites have been hacked today. Its possible that this was caused by an issue with this addon. It may be a good idea to deactivate the addon until this is cleared up.

Yup heard about this over at vB.com as well. I'm sure Valtar will get it handled but for now....

~UNINSTALLING~

updated mod version 4.0.3 i hope is fine.

I've updated and all seems to be working as normal.

This version includes a fix for the vulnerability.

Thanks Valter!

This problem is not fixed, I have just been hacked after updating.

maybe is not fault this mod but other mod for hack your site.

Did you install the product with overwrite?

Hi guys,

I updated with overwrite and everything works fine except one little thing. When I'm viewing a set of rules and I use the dropdown to see other set of rules, it takes me to my home page instead of doing the collapse/exand thing. What should I do? uninstall/reinstall the mod having to configure it again? Or yiou guys know a fix?

Thanks in advance ;)

Yes

from Cyb - Advanced Forum Rules
demo: http://www.bihforum.com/misc.php?do=cfrules

i am unistalled this mod for moment and wait to real fixed.

same, its confirmed by vbulletin that this was the cause of HEAPS of boards being hacked.

And no Sign of Valter LOL

Pretty sure he sleeps and has a life too.....

I have that need to shoot someone right now...

Good to have such reliable mods that screw up everything. :(

This has been fixed immediately but we must wait for Staff to check updates and revert product.

Hey
one question have

the security bug/fault/exploit or sql injection have fixed or not?
have any danger of other CYB_ Hack Mod?

thank you.

If Valter doesn't mind, here's the product XML of what I'm using on my forum. I edited all plugins/templates, mostly to make sure that one, it was using proper escaping in queries, and two - made all url's/links use the session var.

Instead of using escape_string I have it using sql_prepare (which will escape_string if needed based on value, whether value is a string or integer).

It's based on 4.0.3, and has been running with no problems.

Can this be also used for 3.8.x and how can I update the current version to this one ?
Simple Overwrite ?

Thanks in advance.

Also, why also? This mod is for vB 3.8.x. How to update has been explained by valter like three or four posts before yours.

This is why "also":

By Eric:
It's based on 4.0.3, and has been running with no problems.

Meanwhile I`ve implemented Erics Modification to a copy of my board and it`s working.

Just wanted to be clear - I simply modified it a bit, I take no credit whatsoever for it, and I am just sharing it within this thread if others want to use it. This is Valter's modification/hack, I just updated it with a few changes.

I am not very knowledgeable about these things.......could you explain exactly what I need to do to add this to my Cyb Forum Rules? :o

Thank you, Eric

@LauraM
Just install Eric`s Modifiaction but make sure that you allow to overwrite the previous version. That`s it.

Thank you. :)

4.0.3 is the version of the mod, not the vB version... as in: mod version 4.0.3 for vB 3.8.x. :)

Ah, now that makes sense.

Thx !!!
