Change this line:

if ($vbulletin->options['vsafrules_enable_global'] AND (THIS_SCRIPT=='misc'))

to:

if ($vbulletin->options['vsafrules_enable_global'] AND ((THIS_SCRIPT=='misc') OR (THIS_SCRIPT=='member')))

in "VSa - Advanced Forum Rules - CT" plug-in.

I made some changes using additional.css template in the forum style those changes work fine with all pages but not with the rules page.
example:
Public page font style:
Attachment 119419

Forum rules font style:
Attachment 119420

thank you for your great job ...

I agree, Valter! Thank you so much for a fabulous mod!

I had a similar issue with the CSS. Most of the styling was there, but it seemed to be missing the components from the additional.css template. (I'm not storing my style sheets externally/as files.)

Here's what worked for me to fix the styling of the rules page. I have no idea if this is the best way, but it seems harmless enough! LOL!

Edit the template Valter Templates ? vsa_frules and add the following after {vb:raw headinclude}:

PHP Code:

{vb:cssfile additional.css} 


Then scroll down to find the background and text colors for the "highlight" bars at the top and bottom of the rules page. Change them to match your color scheme, save, and you're good to go.

Hope this helps!

If browser has disabled JS, user will not be able to click "accept" button. Here fix:

In template "vsa_frules"
========================================

REPLACE:

<vb:if condition="($vboptions[vsafrules_time]==0)">value="{vb:rawphrase submit}"<vb:else />value="{vb:raw vboptions.vsafrules_time}" disabled="disabled"</vb:if> />

TO:

value="{vb:rawphrase submit}"

REPLACE:

function VSaFR_buttonCounter() { vsaafr_counter = fetch_object('vsaafr_counter');

TO:

vsaafr_counter = fetch_object('vsaafr_counter');
vsaafr_counter.disabled = true;
vsaafr_counter.value = '{vb:raw vboptions.vsafrules_time}';
function VSaFR_buttonCounter() {
=================================

Hey, great addon.

How can I change the...
"I have read, and agree to abide by the *** ****** rules. " colour?
At the moment it's in black but my forum is dark so members cannot really see it.

Also how can I change so that the banner on the rules page is centered?
Thanks

Hi there!

I have one question. Is there any way to integrate It with VSa - ChatBox? I mean to create rules for ChatBox and before user accept it, he can't chat (for example displaying small notification to accept these rules instead of place to type the text).

[mishb68]

Great mod (as always). Thanks
