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.

I'm a bit confused. Change this

PHP Code:


			
mustreadtext='$mustreadtext'

To this in forum.php

PHP Code:


			
mustreadtext='".addslashes($mustreadtext)."'

Now where does this code go

PHP Code:


			
$mustreadtext = $foruminfo[mustreadtext];

This is the code you need to change the last part in:

PHP Code:


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

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

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

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

        exit;

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

yes! Will test more, but it looks like that fixed it.

Boofo · #75 05-25-2003, 06:38 PM

Ok, test it out and post the changes in here for anyone else who has run into this problem.

Smoothie, did this work for you?

The Realist · #78 08-25-2003, 01:26 PM

Sorted out my parse error. when peeps click on new thread the proceed and cancel shows up ok, but no text. Also if they click reply it does not show at all and they can post without seeing the must read screen?

How can this hack be done so it shows up when they enter a section and not post a thread or reply?

Thanks.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
