I have seen some rules hacks that require users to agree to the rules before allowing them to post, but they have been board wide from what I have seen.

This one allows you to set up separate contracts on a per-forum basis. You can have a special contract for a debate forum and a different one for your sex forum. It's up to you.

THIS IS A BETA HACK. IT MAY HAVE BUGS. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Planned features:
a - an install script to handle the queries, template and phrases. I want to work the kinks out of the code first.

b. - a ticket system by which you can temporarily or permanantly ban members from posting in individual forums if they violate the contract.

I have no plans of integrating this hack with any other ticket systems. I don't use any of the others because we really only have problems in one forum.

I might also suggest adding something to the 'have they signed a contract' line, especially in newthread.php, because guests still get the 'New Thread' link due to the silly logic behind displaying that..

I use

PHP Code:


			
if (!$contractsigned AND $bbuserinfo['userid'] != 0) {

Guests don't see it any more. I am also using the hack on forumdisplay.php...it works okay but the redirect sends people back to the Forumhome. *confusion*

Obviously, I added a template called forum_contract that had the content as per the other txt file, but it could be confusig to others.

I must have forgotten to save the file after I wrote that last bit :blush:

This is a great idea - specially for the sim forum I run where we have different rules for each sim! Definitely will be installing this one very soon!

Is there a way to make it to require them to sign it before even viewing the forum? Before even posting....

amykhar · #16 02-23-2005, 05:08 PM

scroll up wwesn1. I already answered that question in this rather short thread.

There is, but amykhar has said that she doesn't see this being widely used, nor does she wish to go into overkill on features she doesn't need.

For what it's worth, putting the code that you would put into newthread.php into forumdisplay.php (in the right place...look for permissions stuff) does work kinda. I'm not going to go into detail sorry, I just guessed where to put it and it worked.

A technical answer would be: 'You could do pretty much anything you wanted with the hack, assuming you knew the php to do what you want'.

sounds great, something I could definely use
