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.

where are the scheduled task setup instructions in the readme for cron?

yeah, i found another tick...

>> function fetch_user_agreed_rules($uinfo = '')

the $uinfo is not used at all nowhere...

and a request for the memberinfo: make it possible to choose what usergroups have access to these details... i don't see why i would let all my users see who agreed to X rules...
maybe let own users and admins see these details is more appropriate, so i would like a new field in the settings where we can add usergroupids...

That's being done with the process of the installation, so no need for a setup instructions
just look at the sechduled task manager after you got the hack installed, you'll see it listed there...

[thedvs]

ah cool one uae, great updates

[JohnBee]

WORKS with vBadvanced! :up:

I only want that admins, mods, super-mods, registered user have to sign the contract.
If they don't have sign the contract, they aren't allow do anythink (read fourm, post forum, pms...)!

But guests are allowed to "read" the forum...

Is it possible? How should the settings look like...

Thanx nexi, that thing "$uinfo = ''" has been removed, even if you leave it, it won't harm nothing but the product xml file has been updated.

and if you don't want anyone to see what a member has agreed on, in his/her profile page, and would like to restrict that for admins/mods/and maybe the user him/her self
add this code with the template edit

 
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==5 or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==6 or $bbuserinfo['userid']==$userinfo[userid]">
 
TEMPLATE EDIT COMES HERE
 
</if>

change the usergroup ids to whatever you like.
