### Introduction
????????????????
This little 'Add-on' hack will let you use your privacy statement-link in the footer of your forum in a more dynamic way. Fully integrated with vBulletin, managed through (unlimited) templates and handled by a single file. And this makes you able to call it from any point on any page that you want, through a link; being a text link or a forum button. In this situation we will make a new link to the footer, and include the Contact Us-link!

Currently it is required for the Administrator of the forum to have some experience with the vBulletin template system, some basic html and it wouldn't hurt to understand how to edit the .php file in question (though it is fairly easy).

Expanding the statements is pretty easy. All you have to do is add another action to the .php file and add a new template which it should call. And add the link to the statements index page (template).


### To Do
?????????
You only have to upload one new file, add a few new templates and enable the Privacy URL (and Contact us)-option. There are no files or templates to edit and it takes about (approximatly) 10 minutes to install. Pretty simple, and upgrading to future vBulletin 2.x versions would not affect this hack.



Installation instructions and screenshots, .php file and the templates are included in the attached statements.zip file.

Please use this thread for discussing the development of this little addon-hack and all flaming/trolling/etc about it can be E-mailed to junkmail@creations.nl

I am releasing this, because it is pretty complete now, and several of my vBulletin forum friends have requested this.

[Floris]

Thank you. Do you have it installed on your server?

[DWZ]

Sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday, had trouble with IRC

Anyway, installed on my site and working

But, may I ask how you got your page split up with Privacy Statement and Mission Statement?

I can only work out how to make one page...

EDIT: never mind, I download this file instead of the other one you gave me and now i see

[Floris]

When you quit irc yesterday, I was explaining that you (should) could download this one instead, since it was finished
Happy to hear that you have it working now
