==========


Info:
Advanced Forum Rules system for vBulletin.

Main Features:
-Rules shown on separate page (no file uploads required)
-BB codes enabled
-Options to force users to accept Forum Rules before can view forums, post, send PMs,...

See screenshots.


Installation:
1. Import XML file (as product): AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]
2. OPTIONAL (for some customized styles)
Open template "navbar" and add "$cyb_frules_link" after "vbphrase[faq]</a></td>".
3. OPTIONAL (to add 'reset acceptance status' to different place than default one)
Open template "MEMBERINFO" and add "$cyb_frules_force" wherever you wish.


To set options:
Go to: AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Cyb - Advanced Forum Rules


NOTE: You can check which users are (not) accepted Forum Rules by running db queries:
(Run queries through: AdminCP > Execute SQL Query)
List users who had accepted Rules:
SELECT * FROM `user` WHERE cfrules_read_status > 0;
List users who hadn't accepted Rules:
SELECT * FROM `user` WHERE cfrules_read_status = 0;

Mind posting the code for just the timer function for the button? I'm sure we can find the source of the problem from there.

Just upgrade product by importing XML, with "overwrite" checked.

Hi Cyb,

Thanks for another awesome hack

Are there any plans to include 'Per Forum(s)' options?

Cheers,
Adam.

Cybernetec,
there is some difference in there two phrases

Quote:
<phrase name="setting_cybfrules_show_resetmi_desc" username="Cybernetec"><![CDATA[Automatically add "Force to Accept Rules" to member profiles]]></phrase>
Quote:
<phrase name="cybfrules_resetuser" username="Cybernetec"><![CDATA[Force User To Accept Forum Rules]]></phrase>
I think we have to replace first one with:
Quote:
<phrase name="setting_cybfrules_show_resetmi_desc" username="Cybernetec"><![CDATA[Automatically add "Force User To Accept Forum Rules" to member profiles]]></phrase>
Code:
<phrase name="setting_cybfrules_show_resetmi_desc" username="Cybernetec"><![CDATA[Automatically add "Force User To Accept Forum Rules" to member profiles]]></phrase>

Cybernetec,

1.
Why you don't replace (I checked it works in this way)
Code:
value=\"Reset Acceptance Status For All Members\"
with this one
Code:
value=\"$vbphrase[cybfrules_resetall]\"
+
Code:
<phrase name="cybfrules_resetall" username="Cybernetec"><![CDATA[Reset Acceptance Status For All Members]]></phrase>
2.
This one code:
Code:
<optioncode><![CDATA[
		<a href=\"../misc.php?do=cfrresetall\"><input type=\"submit\" name=\"cyb_reset_all\" value=\"Reset Acceptance Status For All Members\" /></a>]]></optioncode>
Doesn't work in IE 7.*.
Works in Opera 9.* and in FireFox 2.*

[S]Why you not to use something like:[/S]
[S]
Code:
<optioncode><![CDATA[
		<form method=\"GET\" action=\"misc.php\">
			<input type=\"submit\" name=\"cyb_reset_all\" value=\"$vbphrase[cybfrules_resetall]\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"do\" value=\"cfrresetall\">
		</form>]]></optioncode>
[/S]
[S]This one works everywhere, I checked.[/S]

[S]3.
Also when I press this button in Opera or Firefox an "empty" page is opened (with out any information).
Attachment 71405

When to open URL by hands I get the same "empty" page.
Code:
http://my.forum.123/admincp/misc.php?do=cfrresetall
In other words "Reset acceptance status for all registered members" doesn't work...[/S]

1. Should be changed.
2. Confirmed (does not work in bloody IE)
3. No bug here. It seems you have tested it using your custom code.

It's:
FORUM/misc.php?do=cfrresetall
NOT:
FORUM/admincp/misc.php?do=cfrresetall

With original code it works fine.

Cybernetec, yes. I was wrong with <form examle. This one can't work in any way as form inside form doesn't work. I killed my brain today. Sorry for disinformation.

The same for
Code:
/admincp/misc.php?do=cfrresetall
My fault.

This one works ok.
Code:
