vb.org Archive - Forum rules registration page

For anyone who reads this I had the same problem and I followed the instructions at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228112
but here is the quick version for anyone who wants to create their own rules page....

Create a text file called rules.php and put it in the forum root. It should contain this code only:

Code:

<?php



// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);



// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################



define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'rules');

define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);  

// change this depending on your filename



// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################

// get special phrase groups

$phrasegroups = array('timezone', 'user', 'register', 'cprofilefield');



// get special data templates from the datastore

$specialtemplates = array();



// pre-cache templates used by all actions

$globaltemplates = array('justtheforumrules',

);



// pre-cache templates used by specific actions

$actiontemplates = array();



// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################

// if your page is outside of your normal vb forums directory, you should change directories by uncommenting the next line

// chdir ('/path/to/your/forums');

require_once('./global.php');

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_user.php');

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_misc.php');



// #######################################################################

// ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################

// #######################################################################



$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => 'Forum Rules'));

$navbar = render_navbar_template($navbits);



// ###### YOUR CUSTOM CODE GOES HERE #####

$pagetitle = 'Forum Rules';



// ###### NOW YOUR TEMPLATE IS BEING RENDERED ######



$templater = vB_Template::create('justtheforumrules');

$templater->register_page_templates();

$templater->register('navbar', $navbar);

$templater->register('pagetitle', $pagetitle);

print_output($templater->render());



?>

Next create a new template in your default style called "justtheforumrules". Then put this code in the new template:

Code:

{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"<vb:if condition="$vboptions['enablefacebookconnect']"> xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"</vb:if> dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}">

<head>



        {vb:raw headinclude}

        {vb:cssfile register.css}

        <title>{vb:rawphrase forum_rules}</title>

{vb:raw headinclude_bottom}

</head>

<body>



{vb:raw header}

{vb:raw navbar}



<div id="pagetitle">

        <h1>{vb:rawphrase forum_rules}</h1>

</div>



        <h2 class="blockhead">{vb:rawphrase forum_rules}</h2>

        <div class="blockbody formcontrols">

                <div class="blockrow">

                        <p class="label">

                                <vb:comment> regular forum rules </vb:comment>

                                {vb:rawphrase forum_rules_description, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}

                                <vb:comment> regular forum rules </vb:comment>

                </div>                

        </div>

        



{vb:raw footer}



</body>

</html>
