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. Moreover this will eliminate the options of any denial by certain users of not being aware of ?rules and agreements? being in place for the desired forum.

This can also be used as alerts, broadcasts, messages and tutorials? etc to certain individual, multi users or groups.

This 'used to be' the best rules hack around. Funny how one day it's fine and then when a new version of vb comes out it's worthless. Doesn't look like the author is around anymore either, so I guess we'll have to hope that someone else releases a rules hack for 3.6.x. It was a nice hack while it was working though...

[socalsoccer]

Can you make this pop up before you enter the main forum everytime someone comes to your site? This way they have to accept before they even see your forum.

[socalsoccer]

How can you make this pop up when posting a reply everytime, in any section?

Thanks

Tried to get this working on 3.6.4 with MySQL 5 but no-go. Anyone have it working? I tried to follow michaelk's instructions but could not get to work.

Great hack! Thanks for protecting our booties!

I ran into an error installing the 3.6.x zipped fix, here was my workaround, incase others have this problem.

The symptom was that the Importing Product task bar would keep growing and not stop. The error log had the following entry:

PHP Fatal error: Cannot use object of type mysqli_result as array in /var/www/html/vBulletin/admincp/plugin.php(1941) : eval()'d code on line 35, referer: https://xxxxxx/admincp/plugin.php?do=productadd

To fix this error, I modified product-rulesagreement.xml and removed the if statement in the install code, by changing the code from

PHP Code:

$xx = $db->query("select * from " .  TABLE_PREFIX . "user");
    if ($xx[agreedrule]=='')
     {
$db->query("ALTER TABLE " .  TABLE_PREFIX . "user ADD agreedrule TEXT NOT NULL ");
      }
$db->query("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "cron WHERE filename like '%cron/cron_ruleshack.php'"); 


to

PHP Code:

$xx = $db->query("select * from " .  TABLE_PREFIX . "user");
$db->query("ALTER TABLE " .  TABLE_PREFIX . "user ADD agreedrule TEXT NOT NULL ");
$db->query("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "cron WHERE filename like '%cron/cron_ruleshack.php'"); 


This is a manual workaround, so make sure the agreedrule column does not exist (select agreedrule from vb_users) before making this change.

I tried this on 3.6.4 with MySQL 5 and all I get is this:

input->clean_array_gpc('r', array('forumid' => TYPE_INT, 'title' => TYPE_STR, 'ruletext' => TYPE_STR, 'ruleurl' => TYPE_STR, 'userids' => TYPE_STR, 'usernames' => TYPE_STR, 'usergroup_all' => TYPE_INT, 'groupids' => TYPE_ARRAY_INT, 'memberids' => TYPE_ARRAY_INT, 'firstnewthread' => TYPE_INT, 'postmore' => TYPE_INT, 'postless' => TYPE_INT, 'joindateafter' => TYPE_STR, 'joindatebefore' => TYPE_STR, 'lastactiveafter' => TYPE_STR, 'lastactivebefore' => TYPE_STR, 'lastpostafter' => TYPE_STR, 'lastpostbefore' => TYPE_STR, 'active' => TYPE_INT, 'conditions' => TYPE_INT, 'action' => TYPE_STR, 'limitstart' => TYPE_INT, 'ruleid' => TYPE_INT, 'allowbbcode' => TYPE_INT, 'repeated' => TYPE_INT, 'childforum' => TYPE_INT, 'newthread' => TYPE_INT, 'newreply' => TYPE_INT, 'viewforum' => TYPE_INT, 'fileurl' => TYPE_STR, 'exactmatch' => TYPE_INT)); if ($vbulletin->GPC['action'] != 'kill') print_cp_header(); if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'rule') { print_cp_header($vbphrase['ruleshack_rules_manager']); print_form_header('rulesagreement', 'submitrule'); construct_hidden_code('action', 'newrule'); print_table_header($vbphrase['ruleshack_rules_add']); print_input_row($vbphrase['ruleshack_rules_title'], 'title'); print_textarea_row($vbphrase['ruleshack_rules_text'], 'ruletext', ''); print_input_row($vbphrase['ruleshack_rules_url'], 'ruleurl', ''); print_description_row('', 0, 2, 'thead'); print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['allow_bbcode'], 'allowbbcode', 0); print_yes_no_row($vbphrase['ruleshack_rules_repeated'

Any thoughts????

[SimCityForum]

I implemented the modifications suggested in https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=250 and then reinstalled this mod according to the instructions in the readme.txt and it is now working correctly for me on v3.6.1 running on PHP5 and MySQL5

[Mr_Snob]

i have this one ported for 3.6.4 and many features added if you would i release it at vb.org
