Must Read Page Before Posting In A Forum
> A hack by N9ne, Copyright 2003+
> Hack created on March 16th 2003

Description: This hack will allow you to specify,
on a per forum basis, if a must read page comes up,
when someone tries to post a new thread in that
forum. You may use HTML code in the message.

After reading the page, the user is presented with two
options.

One: 'Proceed'; This will move them onto the page where
they can create the thread (ie. type up the post, subject,
etc.).

Two: 'Cancel'; This option will take them back to the forum.

Queries to run: 1

Files to modify:
admin/forum.php
newthread.php

Templates to add:
newthread_mustread

For: vB 2.x.x (created on 2.3.0)

ChangeLog
1.01: 2nd April 2003: BugFix: Post Preview now works.

Demo: Try posting a new thread in the full releases forum here, it brings up a must read page, i've re-created the system.

Credit: To DrkFusion for helping me with a HTTP_POST_VAR problem.

I'm unistalling until the bugs are fixed.

If it was indeed re-created from the system used here, maybe one of the extra smart vb.org staff could have a look at this hack and give us a fix....

Sorry guys, I've been really busy, as I've been in preparation for my trip to Italy which I leave for tomorrow.

I'll look into this in more depth now, I have an idea on how to fix it, only way to find out is to try it out

.

cool, hope we can get a fix before you leave....

Try this, in the instructions, it says to find those 2 lines in newthread.php, and replace them with the code given below, well replace that load of code with this instead, and see if it works:

PHP Code:


			
// ############################### start new thread ###############################

if ($action=="newthread" and $foruminfo[mustread]=="1") {

        $mustreadtext = addslashes($foruminfo[mustreadtext]);

        eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("newthread_mustread")."\");");

        exit;

} elseif (($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']=="postnewthread" and $foruminfo[mustread]=="1") or ($action=="newthread" and $foruminfo[mustread]=="0") or ($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']=="preview")) {

Let me know if it works. I haven't got the hack installed on a board at the moment, and I just made this quick possible fix up...

No, didn't work. Same as before, brings you back in a loop to the must read page after clicking preview.
