Force Site Rules (Announcements) to be read
Developer Last Online: Sep 2023
====================
Author: Ken 'LiveWire' Iovino Site: www.initialz.com Hack: Force Site Rules` Version: 1.0.0 ==================== Notes to me rules_on_index_page.txt (9.4 KB, 21 views) Before update Updates Now have 2 methods of using this.
Update the users to 'not read'.
Important Notice To Existing Users Update #1 If you are using the index.php method please do this important update. I found a bug in the hack that will show guest the rules and try to force them to agree with them, and if they did it still wouldn't allow them to see the fourms, it would just redirect them back to the rules page. Please do this update so you don't lose your guest viewing your site. All new users, i have updated the install file. In Index.php find: PHP Code:
PHP Code:
Update #2 If you installed this hack before 10-03-2004, and are using the usercp.php method, please do this important update. This will delete one less query. All new users, the files have been updated. Open forums/usercp.php and find: PHP Code:
PHP Code:
This will force your members to read the site rules. When they try to go in the UserCp or the main forums (depending on the method you are using) they will be directed to the Site Rules. (which you make) and have to agree to them in order to use the usercp or forumshome.. Once they agree to the sites forum rules, they will be directed back to the user cp, or forumhome and not be forced to see that page again. If you want this to force members on a difrrent page, please request it here and i will release how to do it on another page. To do list...
Please read carefully and make all the necessary changes as stated. This is will work if installed properly. PLEASE REMEMBER TO BACKUP BEFORE YOU BEGIN!

Live Ware, instead of Rules(although i want to use it also in Rules), it could be an Announcement for example?
I mean, this can be changed in text right? Sorry for my bad english, i just got home after a long drinking night, and i am little dizzy:P |

Yes you can use this for anything, rules just seemed to be the more common use of this. You can just edit the template and place an announcement there. Which makes me think, i'll change the title of my hack ^^

Live Wire,
This may be a stupid question, but where is the rules.php file mentioned in the 1st post and both text files, as I can not seem to find it and I have looked twice? Thanks in advance, JD. |

IMPORTANT BUG FIX FOR THE INDEX.PHP METHOD!
If you are using the index.php method please do this important update. I found a bug in the hack that will show guest the rules and try to force them to agree with them, and if they did it still wouldn't allow them to see the fourms, it would just redirect them back to the rules page. Please do this update so you don't lose your guest viewing your site. You can find the update in the first post of this thread. All new users, I have updated the install file. |
