Rules and User Agreement Hack-------------------------------------
Hack Version: 1.1.5
vB-version: 3.5
Developer: WwW.UAEWEB.CoM
Install-difficulty: Easy
Port of: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showt...threadid=77666

Introduction:
Rules and User Agreement Hack Is an agreement rules systems, that requires user to agree to each individual forum or/and pages rules within the whole board community ?if applicable? prior to permission them to different action (Viewing a Forum, Posting New Thread for the first time, Posting New Thread, Posting Reply).

This will limit the forum breaches that occur often due to unawareness of the rules and agreement. This shall automate the manual procedures that are followed by users to read the ?rules and agreement? and will enforce to some extent the users to be aware of rules in place. Moreover this will eliminate the options of any denial by certain users of not being aware of ?rules and agreements? being in place for the desired forum.

This can also be used as alerts, broadcasts, messages and tutorials? etc to certain individual, multi users or groups.

Features:

• Unlimited* Rule(s).
• An Individual Forum can have multi rules agreement.
• An Individual FILE within your forum can have mutli rules agreement.
• List All Rules that user has agreed to from his/her profile page "if a url was provided".
• Edit/Delete Rule(s).
• Reset Rule(s) Manually or with Cron Job.
• Rules can use bbcode.
• Set to show a rule(s) agreement in any selected forum/page (file url) IF:

- User's Usergroup is Y.
- User's Additional Usergroups is Y.
- User's User Id is X.
- User's User Name is XXX.
- User's first time posting a new thread in this forum.
- User's has posts greater than x posts.
- User's has posts less than x posts.
- User's Join Date is After (yyyy-mm-dd).
- User's Join Date is Befor (yyyy-mm-dd).
- User's Last Activiy is After (yyyy-mm-dd).
- User's Last Activiy is Befor (yyyy-mm-dd).
- User's Last Post is After (yyyy-mm-dd).
- User's Last Post is Befor (yyyy-mm-dd).
* Can Use Conditionals.

I can't find a setting to have this displayed for all forums when posting a new thread or reply. I don't want to have to make a new rule set for each individual forum (we don't have any sub forums). I tried to set it for the main category but of course this did not work.

Any suggestions?

Just add the rule to the main category and add the checkbox "include in child forums" and it will add it for all forums.

Awesome hack, btw. I love it, and will be using it all the time Installs

I have about 8 Categories on top level... i don't see any category "above"?!

Would be great if this option could be added. My users should agree to new rules when logging into the forums next time - regardless where they login... This doesn't seem to be possible so far.

Thanks!

Same at me !

[vibe]

When I click on agree and submit, browser takes me to this URL

http://www.agalico.com/php/php.exe?f=65...

Security Alert! The PHP CGI cannot be accessed directly.

This PHP CGI binary was compiled with force-cgi-redirect enabled. This means that a page will only be served up if the REDIRECT_STATUS CGI variable is set, e.g. via an Apache Action directive.

Can anyone help me figure it out why? I'v been trying to troubleshoot this problem forever, still having find out why.

Thanks.

Anybody supporting this Hack ?

[steven s]

I want people to read an agreement before
linking to /newthread.php?do=hpde
Is this possible?
Edit: nevermind. I figured it out.

Hi together,

as there doesn't seem to be anymore support for this hack, i helped myself and found a solution for that previously named problem.

I'll post it here and you may use it at your own risk!

With this modification, you're able to setup rules for every page. With such a global rule everyone first has to agree to this rule before beeing able to read any of your forums (or even gallery, arcade, any hack that uses vb-templateparser).

the only thing you need to modify is the template_parser plugin from the rules & agreementhack. Just xchange the complete code with this:

PHP Code:

$hackagree = array();

    $vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('p', array('hackagree' => TYPE_ARRAY_INT, 'forumid' => TYPE_INT, 'oldurl' => TYPE_STR, 'do' => TYPE_STR));
    $ruleids = implode(",", $vbulletin->GPC['hackagree']);

    $scripturl1 = iif ($_SERVER['SCRIPT_URI'], $_SERVER['SCRIPT_URI'], "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);
    $urluri = $scripturl1 . iif($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], "?" . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
                    
if ($ruleids)
{
        //Lets see if this user has agreed or not (Update agreed ruleid)
        update_rules($ruleids, $vbulletin->GPC['forumid']);
}
else
{     

    if ($vbulletin->GPC['hackagree']<>1)
    {
            // Check for all list of RULE to be apply for this page...

Then setup a rule with URL "all" (just type in these three letters in the url field) and set exact match to no.

That's all.

It's kind of a 'dirty' solution but it's working and should not have any negative consequences. I've setup some new forumrules for my 15k+ board and it's working very well.

How can I change the text in this hack......I want the checkbox to have a Mission Statement of my own writing in it. Where do I change that?

Sorry guys, but I have been busy with the vB Pager hack and did not have the time to add any new featurs to the rules hack.

kommuni, again, I haven't tried your changes yet, but I'll do that as soon as I get the time.


bcrooms, I'm sorry, but I did not get it, are you talking about this text "I have read, and agree to abide by the ....."

if so, then you need to edit phrase "ruleshack_agree_abide_by_rules"
and if you were talking about a whole new rules, then you will need to create a new rule and add whatever text...all that can be done from your ADMINCP, just look @ the screen shots!
