Rules when you open a new thread · **Released**: 05-02-2009

Many people have asked how to insert rules that can be displayed when the member starts a new thread.

In style manager, open the editor templates -> editor_toolbar_on. At the very top of the file, above the line $vBeditTemplate[clientscript], insert this code:

Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'newthread'">
<if condition="$show['member']">
<strong>Hello $bbuserinfo[username]! We ask that you follow these simple rules:</strong><br />
<ul>
<li>First rules. </li>
<li>Second rules. </li>
<li>Third rules. </li>
</ul>
</if>
</if>

For add new rules add a new line with the code

Code:

<li>Rules</li>

NB: Obviously, the text "Message:" always appear above the rules. To delete or modify the search for phrases.

Sample

PS: sorry for my english

cionfs,

If I may -- here is a better English translation that you may wish to include for the installation instructions:

Now how do you explain.

Open editor_toolbar_on template and add above all this code:

Nice mod. I would like to enable this, but only for new member´s first post. Is it possible, and how?

Thanks

cionfs · #15 06-16-2009, 10:32 AM

For members in first post

Code:

<if condition="$show['member']">
<if condition="$post[postcount] % $vboptions[maxposts] == 1">

code

</if>
</if>

Man, this would make an EXCELLENT installable product!

My idea:

To be able to define the 'rules' inside the AdminCP, on each Forum, on the "Forum Manager"
To be able to turn on (or off) only on the forums that we wish to turn it on (or off)...!
To be able to set individual 'rules' for each forum, according to what forum you set on the Forum Manager.

Last, but not least: THANK YOU FOR THIS HACK! :up: :up: :up:

I'm trying to install this hack on a v3.6.12 vBulletin board, but it is just not working...

I've get the following hack installed, and wonder if this the problem resides there, or if this hack is just not for v3.6.12...???

Yep...

Would it be difficult to implement it so it could work on v3.6.12?

Thank you! :up: :up:
