I wish some coders will be able to recode this great addon, it is very important.
It works fine with some, others can't get it to work.

A couple of questions.
1. When bringing up the "apply to forum" screen, it doesn't seem to remember which ones I already marked with what rule. So when I make a new rule, I can't see which ones I may of already applied it to
2. I also have the problem when there is general rules and area specific rules only the General one comes up, not the secondary one as well. Is this by design or am I doing something wrong?
Great mod, perfect for what we are doing.. thanks again for spending time coding this!

I have the same problem. Running on 4.1.12. Great mod, but I cant recall where I've applied rules to....

I updated my development site to 4.2 and now the rules do not show up on my navtab. Applied the update and still no luck.

And definitely a great product!

Disregard previous post due to operator error

Working great now that I applied the correct update

I have installed this twice now, once a few weeks ago and now the latest release. The mod installs fine but configuration is messed up. Every time I go to edit the rules or assign them to a specific forum the mod takes me to the smiles page/

If you want to make a Forum Rules into a tab do this...

1. Add this plugin to the product file...

	<plugin active="1" product="vsafrules" executionorder="5">
		<title>VSa - Advanced Forum Rules - set tab</title>
		<hookname>set_navigation_tab_fallback</hookname>
		<phpcode><![CDATA[if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'misc' && ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'vsarules' OR $_REQUEST['do'] == 'vsaafr_mng'  OR $_REQUEST['do'] == 'vsaafr_addedit')) $root = 'vsarules';]]></phpcode>
	</plugin>

2. Add Navigation to the product file after</options>

	<navigation>
		<tab name="vsarules" date="1337937088" username="Valter" version="4.2.0">
			<active>1</active>
			<show />
			<scripts></scripts>
			<displayorder>500</displayorder>
			<url><![CDATA[misc.php?do=vsarules]]></url>
		</tab>
	</navigation>

3. Re-install the product file via AdminCP
