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.

Im using vb 3.5.3 and get the following error when trying to import the product xml.

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.3:

Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO cron (weekday, day, hour, minute, filename, loglevel, title )
VALUES (-1, -1, 0, 'a:1:{i:0;i:-1;}', './includes/cron/cron_ruleshack.php', 1,
'Rules and User Agreement Hack Reset');

MySQL Error : Table 'vbsd.cron' doesn't exist
Error Number : 1146

I see that I am missing a table, is this something vbulletin is supposed to create on installation or do I need to manually create the table?

Just want to clarify something before I start.

Down the bottom of the admin page it has an option of applying the rule on "first time posting a thread" and on a "new reply"

Does this mean that the rule will have to be agreed for every single reply or just the first reply in that forum?

If all those boxes were ticked (ie viewing, thread posting, replying) would the user have to agree to the same rules repeatedly for every single action?

hey guyz, just a couple of questions... i've installed it and no problems yet, but I am yet to use it. I just need clarification of a couple of things.

Include Child Forums < Does this mean the rule will cover the child forums automatically, or does this mean it asks the user to approve the rule in the child forums as well

First Time Posting a Thread in this Forum > Does this apply to users that haven't posted in the forum at all, or to all users that haven't posted in a forum SINCE the implementation of the rule mod

New Thread Posting > Does this rule get asked everytime you create a new thread, or only once.

New Reply Posting > Does this rule come up on every reply, or only once per forum?

When Viewing Forum > I asume this only comes up once per forum

Sorry for all the questions guyz but it seems that if you do the wrong thing you could bombard your users with rule acceptance screens.

If I leave the User or Usergroups to send to [blank], will it send to everyone?

Last thing: Rule's Page URL > what goes in here... I asume the actual rule goes in the "Rule's Text", so does the forum or thread link relating to the rule go in here?

Thanks guyz,
Kurt
