Signature Rules - post rules for users to follow

1 Attachment(s)

About
This is my very first vb mod and a simple one at that. There are similar mods for older versions of vb, but not for 4.x yet, so decided to try it myself, and wanted to share.

The modifciation allows admins to post a list of rules or guidelines for users to follow when updating or creating a signature. It is a simple list and does not truely force users to follow the rules listed; however, it is a good reminder right where the user is creating their signature of any rules you may be trying to enforce.

Updates
1.0 Initial Release
1.1 Updated installer to account for vb 4.1.x

Options
1. Up to 10 rules can be displayed
2. Can use a single column list or multi column to display the rules
3. Can change the graphic used as a bullet for the list, by default uses the accept.png located in the images/misc folder

Installation
1. Import the Signature-Rules.xml product file
2. Add a reference to the template in the modifysignature template

to do this edit the modifysignature template and add the following as the first line in the template

PHP Code:


		
			
{vb:raw signaturerules}

I'm very new to vb mods, so I will try and support any issues as best as I can. The mod is very simple so I don't really see issues popping up, but you never know.

Also if anyone has suggestions on what can be done better since I am new please do let me know

Since it's signatures, I don't think it's a good idea to force the rules for those who already have good ones. If they wish to edit it, they would see the new rules, correct? That's all I want. I'll be sure to download this once I get back home, thanks!

Looks nice but can be done with a simple template modification. :)

A lot can be done with simple template modifications. Just the add-ons makes it a lot easier and simple. :p

Yes, I love mods that make it so I don't have to make those skin edits everytime I add a new skin.

Yea it can be a template modification, and is not that complex, thus why I chose to do this for my first mod attempt, and I feel I learned a decent amount about how the plugin system works doing it :up:
Also I myself tend to like the plugin system a little better then having to add alot to my templates on my boards and this makes it a little easier on me when/if I need to change my rules I can just go into settings and make an update :D

And thanks everyone for compliments so far

I apply the mod and configure in Admincp-options-Signature Rules.

Add to template "modifysignature" and "newThread" and does nothing, it shows all the same.

Using Vb 4.0.1

:(

It will not work in any other template then the modifysignature, so the newthread behavior is expected.

Can you verify that under admincp that you do have the mod enabled, and that you have

Code:

{vb:raw signaturerules}

as the first line of your modifysignature template.

If so can you post screenshots of all 3 locations (options, template, and what a user sees when editing signature)

The mistake is mine, sorry, misunderstand the function of this MOD. This works well.

Thank you.

It depends on how you add themes, but if all themes are added at the top level then yes, unfortunatly vb does not have a hook at the location that I want to display the mod.
What I do to get around this is I make my themes all a child of the default style, then make the edit in the default style and it propagates to all children without having to modify each on individually

I want to translate "Signature Rules" to another language (alone this phrase in the bar of signatures).

I search this phrase for admincp and translating it, but I do not work.

How I must do?.

Regards.

Unfortunatly that is about the one thing that I didn't phrase. If you edit the template Signature_Rules you can make the change

Code:

<div class="block">

        <h2 class="blockhead">

                <b>Signature Rules</b>

        </h2>

Just find the above section in the template and change ""Signature Rules" to whatever you wish it to say

Is there a version of this that is compatible with 4.2.0 or can this mod be updated? I tried installing it and it says it is not compatible. Thanks!

Works perfect on 4.2.0 I modify the xml to let me install :)

How to make it work for 4.2:

1. Open the .xml with notepad
2. Find "<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.0.0" maxversion="4.1.99" />"
It is on the 8th line so count down or ctrl+f
3. Change max version to 4.2
4. It should look like this:
<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.0.0" maxversion="4.2.99" />

Now upload and it'll work all good :)
