Must Read Page Before Posting In A Forum
> A hack by N9ne, Copyright 2003+
> Hack created on March 16th 2003

Description: This hack will allow you to specify,
on a per forum basis, if a must read page comes up,
when someone tries to post a new thread in that
forum. You may use HTML code in the message.

After reading the page, the user is presented with two
options.

One: 'Proceed'; This will move them onto the page where
they can create the thread (ie. type up the post, subject,
etc.).

Two: 'Cancel'; This option will take them back to the forum.

Queries to run: 1

Files to modify:
admin/forum.php
newthread.php

Templates to add:
newthread_mustread

For: vB 2.x.x (created on 2.3.0)

ChangeLog
1.01: 2nd April 2003: BugFix: Post Preview now works.

Demo: Try posting a new thread in the full releases forum here, it brings up a must read page, i've re-created the system.

Credit: To DrkFusion for helping me with a HTTP_POST_VAR problem.

Note: Download the attached file and open in a text editor to view installation instructions!

Good job on the hack. This will help me with my new thread system I an introducing at my website.

You may want to edit your first post. It's very hard to read with all the weird symbols. :)

Nice concept. I may use it in the future. And i agree with Erwin :/

Nice one! Is it possible to get this working when replying to a thread too?

Yes i agree with Erwin. Why did you want this hack deleted from the db?
