Advanced Rules and User Agreement Hack v2.0.0
------------------------------------------------------------
This Hack is Port of UAE's Rules and User Agreement Hack.
And I have this one together combined with my old
"Rules Hack v1.5"

Hack Version: 2.0.0
vB-version: 3.6.4
Developers: UAE and Hasann
Install-difficulty: Easy
Port of: Rules and User Agreement Hack

Requested Here: Hasann was wondering if you and uae who wrote the Rules and User Agreement Hack could get together and combine your modifications into one package?

Introduction:

Advanced 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.

Hello,

I got a database error on all pages saying there is no rules table? I followed the instructions to the letter.

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.4:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT * FROM ruleshack
WHERE (fileurl LIKE 'http://forum.dutchbodybuilding.com/index.php' AND exactmatch = 1 )
OR (fileurl LIKE 'http://forum.dutchbodybuilding.com/index.php%' AND exactmatch = 0 ) AND active = 1 ORDER BY ruleid;

MySQL Error : Table 'tijl_forum.ruleshack' doesn't exist

What is the difference between this mod and CYBs Advanced Forum Rules found here.

Since I cannot get this working on my own, is anyone interested in installing this for me for a nominal fee??? Mr. Snob????

Having a problem making this hack work for child forums....

[ElForro]

I've two problems:

- When I check "Include Child Forums", the Rules appears when an Unregistered user tries to enter that forums [and child forums]. I hadn't check that Group [unregistered] to accept the Rules, and it only happens when I turn the "Include Child Forums" option on.

- When I try to enter a forum, the rules are displayed correctly. But when I try to enter directly to a Thread, the Rules and all the page don't loads the CSS file.. It appears that the path is incorrect: Insted of "http://www.domain.com/clientscript/vbulletin_css/style-d219a5c6-00001.css" it's "/clientscript/vbulletin_css/style-d219a5c6-00001.css", that is without the domain name. (I have the CSS to load as a separate file)

Thanks in advance and sorry about my english :$

Main difference is Cyb's does not allow you to specify accepting a rule on a "per forum" basis, but forces the requirement on all forums.

Anyone????

Works perfectly for me on 3.6.4

Had a little trouble finding it in the AdminCP... Forums & Moderators | Rules Manager.

I had it up and running with 6 RULES all in the proper forums in about 30-mins. This is EXACTLY what my forum needed.

5 STARS from me. Clicked Installed. Thank you!
