hi!

we use the same contract text on all of our forums.

so we wanted it so that if they agree to the contract once, they can post on any forum requiring a contract. this is a simple one line fix in two hooks.

modify hook: newreply_start and newthread_start
near the bottom, replace:

if (!$contractsigned) {

with:

  if (is_null($vbulletin->userinfo['contracts']) or $vbulletin->userinfo['contracts']=="") {

basically, once they agree to any contract, that userinfo['contracts'] field is populated (with that forum number). so - this simply checks to see if userinfo['contracts'] is populated w/ *anything*. if so, the site-wide contract has been fullfilled.

you still have to enable the contract on each and every forum though...

you could make this a bit more effecient yet, but here's a KISS method that doesn't cause too much overhead by ommitting unnecessary code when not checking for specific forum contract acceptances.

hope someone finds this usefull!
