GTPosting Rules: Posting Rules near editor
 

Custom modification brought to you by Joe Velez (aka Princeton vbulletin.org Admin).

Sometimes, it's the little things in life that makes us happy: :)

GTPosting Rules is a NO TEMPLATE EDITS mod to display Posting Rules near the editor. This mod will add the Posting Rules to all editors including quickreply and quickedit. Take a look at the following attachments if you do not understand what I mean.

Show your support and click Mark As Installed, Nominate For MOTM, or Support Developer.

All you have to do is upload the "product-gtpostingrules.xml" file via the Plugins & Products System.

No template edits required.

by Princeton, GO-TOTAL LLC, Vineland, NJ USA

To exclude rules from showing up under the editor, open the GTPR: Process Rules: editor_toolbar_end plugin and add the THIS_SCRIPT value of page to the $excludegtprules array.


History:

v 1.1.2 : Fixed Quick Edit problems and added option to exclude specific pages.
v 1.1.1 : Fixed Template Edit Error
v 1.1.0 : Fixed rules from displaying in Edit Signature.
v 1.0.0 : Missing template in xml.

first post...install!

the thumbs don't open ... but great mod!

Hmmm.... Mine didn't do anything after install. Maybe another hack is interfering...

everything??...lol

cant see any difference after its installed m8

Just installed; can't seem to find admin controlls for it.

Am I missing something?

I don't see where any admin controls would be installed in the XML file -- so there aren't any. But it's still not moving the rules for me. I may just manually do it since it's a great idea. :)

I wonder what other plugin would be interfering with this one?

They aren't thumbnails.

Princeton please fix the thumbnails so we can see it.

He meant the thumbnails in the screen shots in his post.

I'll click install and wait for an update I suppose.

Is there meant to be by default a way to change what the rules are?

Yea, me to will wait for the update :)

*installed*

repuploaded new thumbnails

ChurchMedia ,
Can you pm me a test account on your site so that I can see what's going on?

Doesn't seem to be working for me. :cry: Maybe because I am using a custom style or have a mod conflicting? Other than that, it would have been a great edition to my site if it would work.

reuploaded a new file ... was missing the template

If you have a custom style the product's search/replace may not work. For those of you who have this problem, I have added instructions on how to do this manually: Product_GTPostRules_MANUAL_installation.txt

The new product works perfectly in VB, but unfortunately it breaks the quick reply in PhotoPost. I'll go the manual route.

Thanks for this cool idea!

Now working great, thanks! *Clicks install

This is a great hack, I installed it, working smoothly.

By the way what if we could link Rules and Regulation or Posting rules in this hack, that would make it complete.

As some user might see the posting rule when they click on the posting rule they would be redirected to the rules and regulation of the forum page just like vb codes :D

Nice idea, but the AJAX edit function was broken.

I had the same problem when using the quick-edit feature. Any way of fixing this?

Worked like a charm thank you!

thanks.

Seems to be a problem with 3.6.4 hopefully it gets updated

nice work but one thing is there anyway to get this not to show when a user edits there sig? for example I allow smileys in sigs and its saying there turned off. Its the same way here on this site.

I'd love to see this as standard in Vb - at the moment it's in an extra box lower down the page... that extra block should be deleted as it just makes the page look unnecessarily cluttered.

needs a manual template edit
the following has been fixed ... please upload the latest

thank you

Joe, just a question: cause i dont like the mods with the manual code changes, i wanna uninstall your hack, but i dont remember if the v. 1.0.1 of your hack has some code changes (obviously i mean some templates to edit) can you help me pls?

yep, but the manual installation was also included; so, not sure which one you used

uninstall the product ... if you did a manual installation the posting rules would be visible; otherwise it will not exist

the previously (maybe 1.0.0? but in my ACP i saw 1.0.1) ...

now i unistalled your hack from my products manager, but i dont remember if i do some template edits ...

Thanks Princeton...

Seems to work fine everywhere but the quick editor. Did the quick editor template edit, and whenever I do a quick edit, no text shows up in the editor box. I revert that template, and it works fine without the posting rules though. Until that is fixed, I will continue to have this installed, just without the quick edit template edit. :P

I have a question how come when you edit a thread instead of the text you have its blank?

you made a mistake in your manual installation

you should not remove $newpost[message] in your edit becuase if you try to edit your post it will be blank

thanks for the heads up one of my mods told me about it and was having that problem but when adding that $newpost[message] it seem to solve the problem i think that Manuel script install probably a typo.

Need to add a Custom Mark like <!--NaBura--> to Showthread_quickreply toget rules under the WYSIWYG editor like here and changed the Case switch statement according to change.

Thanks :)

good catch ... I've updated the zip file Jan 15th for those interested.

Because the product did not work for me (rules showed up above the editor and below the editor buttons like bold)
I did the manual install and discovered a few errors in your txt file.

I have attached a working version with these errors corrected.

I have also moved the rules inside the editor when writing with the advanced editor because of consistency, this is also included into this txt.
However, I don't know if this will conflict with your smiley below editor mod, cause I don't use it.

So use my modification in "editor_toolbar_on" at your own risk!

Thank you for this nice Hack

StarBuG
