If you need this extension and want to get it running like normal

open misc.php
get to line 18
change define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);
to define('CSRF_PROTECTION', false);

BUT,this will turn the security for this script off, so think twice about it

[redlabour]

??? This is not what i have been asking for ???

Anyone knows how to edit the Hack to run with (!) a Security Token?

[SeV3n]

I have the same problem.

[Disasterpiece]

I have a working solution to make it use the new securitytoken system. it is very easy, just one line to add.

1. open styles management
2. select "Cybernetec" -> cyb_frules
3. search for:

<form action="misc.php?do=cfrulesagree" name="agree_cfrules" method="post" onsubmit="return Cafr_checkAgree();">

4. After this line, ADD:

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

5. Save

6. select "Cybernetec" -> cyb_frules_reset
7. search for:

<form action="misc.php?do=cfrreset" name="cfrreset" method="post">

8. After this line, ADD:

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

9. Save
10. Be happy =D

Thanks for the above post ... gotcha!

Does this mod work so that we can add SPECIFIC rules to a SPECIFIC forum, and require them to accept that set of rules, which can be different for each forum?

Make sense?

I want separate rules for each forum...can I do that with this mod??

Sure, you can write as many different rules for different forums as you want.

This mod doesn't try to enforce rules, nor does it display different rules for different forums.

OK...I don't think you understood quite what I was asking. I have many different forums on my vBulletin, and I want to set something up where I can have separate rules for each forum, so that when they go to that forum they have to click through the permissions page, which is separate per forum.

Example:

Forum 1 has rules A, B, C, and D. I want users accessing this forum have to "accept" rules A, B, C, and D when they try to enter that forum.

Forum 2 has rules E, F, and G. I want users accessing THIS forum to have to "accept" these rules, which are specific to FORUM 2.

Make sense??

[webspider]

Quick answer. NO it does not do what you are asking.
