Advanced Rules and User Agreement Hack v2.0.0
------------------------------------------------------------
This Hack is Port of UAE's Rules and User Agreement Hack.
And I have this one together combined with my old
"Rules Hack v1.5"

Hack Version: 2.0.0
vB-version: 3.6.4
Developers: UAE and Hasann
Install-difficulty: Easy
Port of: Rules and User Agreement Hack

Requested Here: Hasann was wondering if you and uae who wrote the Rules and User Agreement Hack could get together and combine your modifications into one package?

Introduction:

Advanced Rules and User Agreement Hack Is an agreement rules systems, that requires user to agree to each individual forum or/and pages rules within the whole board community ?if applicable? prior to permission them to different action (Viewing a Forum, Posting New Thread for the first time, Posting New Thread, Posting Reply).

This will limit the forum breaches that occur often due to unawareness of the rules and agreement. 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. Moreover this will eliminate the options of any denial by certain users of not being aware of ?rules and agreements? being in place for the desired forum.

This can also be used as alerts, broadcasts, messages and tutorials? etc to certain individual, multi users or groups.

Thanks!

you can with this hack put that what you says

I was using the old user agreement hack from way back, and its still installed on my site, and is still working, and im on 3.6.4 was there something that should not be working with the old version that should require me to update now?

[DPSR]

I think i need this cool now but only one question.. what about searh engines bots?? If i create rule for a forum that one have to agree if he/she want to view hacks in that forum but what about search engines?? This hack will block them?

[DPSR]

I tried installing this hack but when i try to add a new rule to a forum it gives me same mysql db error that it was giving on the hack by Hasann

Any help ????

[Spinball]

Nice hack.
Couple of things, though.
First, since there tend to be a number of rules to which the user agrees in order for access to be given to a certain forum (or whatever), in the rules template, I changed the text Number of rules: to Number of rule pages:.
Also, since my rules pages are formatted, in the rulesview template, I changed
<td class="thead" width="100%" align="center">$drule
to
<td class="alt2" width="100%">$drule

[Spinball]

More important requests.
First, is it possible to allow (and correctly display) HTML within the rules text?
Second, is it possible to have a list of forum IDs which the rule applies to?
Third, Rules Options - what does the 'Or from File URL' allow us to do and how?

[amagazi]

Uploaded and installed all files perfectly...

But there are no options in AdminCP? I logged in and out multiple times...

Disregard.. Though, you might want to mention that the options do not have their own heading...

No no!
if you are have vBSeo or Zoints Seo Installed put your Rule Page's URl put it like this www.DOMAIN.com/forum/file.html

also put your RULE PAGE URL with ending .html not .php that working
