Easier editing of the forum rules upon registration</font>

Now this isn't much of a hack but what always annoyed me about the forum rules is that they were in a template. Being lazy it was just a pain navigating through the ACP to the signupadult template. So i wanted a way of editing it via the vbulletin options section of the ACP. This hack basically gives you a new option in the ACP to edit the forum rules. It is compatible with all your html and by default uses the standard forum rules set in the signupadult template. However one advantage is that you only edit the text. There is no html tables or anything to muck up if your a html newbie.

Nice, click install ;)

Very nice ! ;)

Nice thinking Mist, i wish i could've thought of that...

Nothing shows up in admin cp... only the header of the hack..??!!

The rules are showing up all wrong too like $bbtitle etc...

I'm having the same trouble... with the 'header only' thing anyway. I see nowhere to edit rules though the query shows as having been executed successfully.

I had the same trouble too.

settinggroupid in the second query must match the settinggroupid generated by the first query. It won't necessarily be 42 as listed in the second query... in my case it should have been 33. Run both queries then edit the new entry in the "setting" table... set settinggroupid accordingly.

Or run the first query, check the settinggroupid generated, and change "42" in the second query to match before running it.

Ah right! Sorted that out. I have that $bbtitle problem now. It says $bbtitle instead of the name of my forums.

I just altered $bbtitle to the actual name though. :D
