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.

I installed the hack on a custom vB page but the styles are lost, any ideas?
Using vBadvanced 2.0, vB3.5 Gold, the UA pops up but the style is n/A until its passed

[Whissi]

I used "URL" and said "showthread.php".
If I click any user, it tells me, that the user has just accept the agreement...

But it is my testboard - this user can't accept, because he didn't know that

Said only showthread.php, or the full url to http://www.blabla.com/forum/showthread.php ??
You should use the full url to that file.

Fantastic uae I really like the hack, its a perfect companion to vBadvanced pages on a site.

Looking forward to using it!

[Whissi]

Said only showthread.php, or the full url to http://www.blabla.com/forum/showthread.php ??
You should use the full url to that file.

I said only "showthread.php", but I tried the full url, reset'ed the agreement.
I reload a profilwindow -> No agreement mentioned.
I accepted the agreement and reloaded the profilwindows of an different user (a user who cannot accept, because he don't no the forum) and vBulletin tells me: This user has accepted.

It seems, that the memberinfo display the own information, not the infos from the user the profil you are browsing...

Right, this is happening on my forum too

[Whissi]

I found another error:
The template "ruleshack_rules" isn't xhtml valid.

<input type="hidden" name="oldurl" value="$urluri">

should be

<input type="hidden" name="oldurl" value="$urluri" />

[Mr Chad]

is this working right now?
