By Bolas



PLEASE REMEMBER TO BACKUP BEFORE YOU BEGIN!


If you like this hack, please be kind and click on "Install this Modification" Link.

can you make them agree to the rules before they can even enter the section of the forum?

No, they have got to click on the New Thread Button.

Basicly, it's Posting New Thread Agreement, not Viewing fourm Agreement.

Nice hack :)

Sweet, I like this one. :) I'll install this ASAP.

I will assume that once a member accepts the rules they will no longer see them. Correct?

Nice :) thanks for sharing ;)

That is correct :smoke:

Absolutely killer! I'll give this a whirl on one of my sites!

Thanks!

install flawlessley on Vb 3.0.3 Patche to 07

Great hack :)

OK installed and working as far as i can tell but can we make it so it goes for a reply also and not just a new thread?

Also i have just noticed my agreed rules dont show up in the members profile page, any idea why?

Adding the Agreement page to the new reply link will need many modifications in files and templates, since there is a quick reply and normal reply page, and I didn't want to do that.
but maybe in a future release :)

I didn't want to have all agreed rules listed in member profile page by default unless you have included a url with that rule when you created it, cos I know there are many administrator "like myself" are going to use this hack for some other purpose, maybe an announcemnt or HowTo's, or just displaying a warning, ..etc, message to someone befor allowing them to post, and I don't think I want to list these "not reall rules" as an agreed rules in that member's profile page.

you can go around it by adding a url there, maybe your website url!

does this work onn vb 3.0.6?

cheers

dean

Alsalam Alikum

nice work borther ;)

I will install it in my site Inshallah

By the way I have some quesions

I wana use this hack, but want to let my users to see the main rules always maybe I will add a link to it in nave bar, so can I link to a specific rule directly? maybe it sounds like strange, but I really didn't test it yet, so maybe I'll found it stubid question :p

Good Luck brother

It should.

exactly what im looking 4

thank u bro ;)

works great cheers mate

I would like to see (in a future version) a link in the profile that pops up a window that reads out the rule they have agreed to... Javascript if it could be, to avoid most popup blockers.

As well as the evaluation of BB code (I'm sure its simple, i will look into it myself), as i use BBcode as a replacement for HTML on my forums. (BBCode shortcuts are simpler).

Oh, and I just installed it on 3.0.7 - Works like a dream.

Other then that... *clicks install*

excellent hack..thank you very much :)

can the hack be set up so...

people have to agreee to the set of rules when they click to download an attachement or if not as soon they enter a particular forum for the first time?

many thanks

dean

any one?

I modified the hack to be active in all action in a specified forum (and not only when a thread is created).

If UAE agreed me I can send him my modification to his hack.

that would be good :)

Hey Bolas,

Sure, you can go ahead and post your modification in a new reply here, and I will link the post as an add-on to the hack in the first post.

Works with no problems on 3.0.6

Thanks for a really useful hack.

bye! https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

Excellent hack!
/me clicks install

Installed on 3.0.7 smoothly. Clicked install! great hack.

hi there,

i install this hack, and add the rule url but it's not show in memberinfo area

http://www.webmastershome.com

Regards
webmastershome

so this hack will replace the agreement rules when a new users tries to register which is great
but will it add a hack page too ?

Make sure that you have applied all the modifications correct, Then go to the ADMINCP, add a new rule with "a link", select the desired forum, and make sure that users agree to that rule, then check their profile page.

Nope, this hack has nothing to do with the forum registration agreement.

First, sorry for my bad english, German user u know :-)

Ok first, GREAT Hack ! Congrats for this

To my suggestion:

Would it be possible to do a "accepted rule reset" if i change a rule? We have "trade forums" and change sometimes the rules so it would be nice, if they change, to automatically have the users to re-accept them.

And another Question coming. Is it possible to add One (1) rule for multiple forums which are NOT in the same Category ?

The hack was working perfectly until I noticed it missing in my admincp...
I could not get it back so I did an uninstall and I tried to upload a fresh hack again. We'll for some reason it continues to show that the hack is still installed eventhough I uninstalled the thing. Back and forth back and forth...still the install file will not let me upload the needed queries/tables and templates..

Now I am receiving Database Errors when ever I try to enter a forum... Help Please...

thanks

okay, I succeeded in uninstalling the hack entirely... now my problem is getting the hack back up again...

this message is what I continue to receive in admincp...
