Simple Rules Page · **Released**: 05-26-2007

This will work with any version of 3.6

Installation Time: 10 minutes or less

Demo Page: www.qskglobal.com/rules.php

Step One:

Log into your admin control panel, go to Styles and Templates and find the style you'd like to add the rules page to and click Add Template.

Step Two:

Name this templete custom_Rules

Copy and Paste the following code to the body of this new template (edit the text in bold with your info):

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
$headinclude
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
</head>
<body>

$header
$navbar
<!-- Custom Code Start Here -->
<center>
<div style="padding:0px 0px 0px 0px">

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="0px" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="468px" <td align="center">
<tr>

<td class="thead" align="center">Official Site Rules | What can get you Banned</td>

</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1" align="center">
1. 
<br />
<br />
2. 
<br />
<br />
3. 
<br />
<br />
4. 
<br />
<br />
5. 
<br />
<br />
6. 


	</td>

</tr>
</table>

</div>
</center>
<!-- / Custom Code Ends here -->
$footer
</body>
</html>

Step three:

Fill in your rules.

Step Four:

Add the rules.php file (attached) to your sites main directory.

Step Five (optional):

This will add the sites rules link to your navbar
Find in template navbar:

Code:

<if condition="$show['registerbutton']">
			<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[register]</a></td>
		</if>

Add the following below:

Code:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="rules.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Site Rules</a></td>

Now you have a clean Rules page where you can link people to read in their welcome PM. This will help new members learn more about your board and hopefully save you some frustrations new members sometimes cause.

I can't get the stinkin rules.php to open correctly. Help?

Did you name the new template custom_Rules? That's the only reason it wouldn't show up correctly. The .php file is already precoded to pick up the template, so that's not the problem.

It doesn't require any actual vB product installation, so I posted it here :/

I think it's mistake - there's no symbol > after width="468px"

Code:

<div style="padding:0px 0px 0px 0px">

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="0px" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="468px" <td align="center">
<tr>

<td class="thead" align="center">Official Site Rules | What can get you Banned</td>

and the is no </td> for this: <td align="center"> (after width="468px" )

I had to modify the html so that it could work with my forum, this should be the correct html:

HTML Code:

<table class="tborder" border="0" cellpadding="6">
  <tr>
    <td class="tcat" align="center">Official Site Rules | Code of Conduct</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td class="alt1">
<p>Rules text</p>

After rules:

HTML Code:

  </tr>
</table>
