Can you go to the Scheduled Task Manager and go to edit Rules and User Agreement Hack Reset
does it look like this:

Title: Rules and User Agreement Hack Reset
Day of the Week: *
Day of the Month: *
Hour: 0
Minute: *
Log Entries: yes
Filename: ./includes/cron/cron_ruleshack.php

Sorry for that, just get the latest product xml file and import it with Allow Overwrite to YES.

well... ,

This refuses to work for me.I managed to get past the MySQL error that was pretty simple

INSERT INTO vb3_cron(weekday,day,hour,minute,filename,loglevel ,title)VALUES(-1,-1,0,'a:1:{i:0;i:-1;}','./includes/cron/cron_ruleshack.php',1,'Rules and User Agreement Hack Reset');

but i don't have a link called "rules manager" under the forums&moderator navgroup and yes i did uploaded the XML file which should take care of that

[Yorixz]

Perfect hack, just what I was looking for, thanks so much!

mmm, that's weird... did you upload cpnav_rulesagreement.xml to the xml directory?

Just upload it first, then import the product xml file, and last, refresh your admincp page and see the links, should be there!!

there seems to be a bug:
When I set some rules I know I was the first to agree to them, however, I went to members profiles right after I agreed, some members who went even online and it said they had agreed to the rules which was impossible.

I think it is just the template error because if I click reset rule in admin it tells me only 1 user has agreed. However every members profile says they agreed to all of them.

great release

one thing if you choose a rule applys to a guest does it work on cookies or something, or wont it work with guests ?

thanks for the hack will install this weekend whatever the answer

[dethfire]

I got members who say they have to repeatedly reagree to guidelines over and over again, like it doesn't register that they already signed it.
