Not working here on 4.2.0!

vsarules page taking me to Smilies page and I'm not able to edit the rules as well. Something is wrong for sure there.

[dariyos]

works fine,

need only a german translation for this...

does it have a german language pack?

edit: solved

[dariyos]

is there a function that shows, who accepted the rules and who not?

it should generate a list, that shows who accepted it or who not..

Works fine for us on vB4.2.2.

You can generate you own reports via a database query, there are extra fields on the user table.

Just upgraded to PHP 5.4 and the edit rules does not work
The edit window is empty

This change fixed it... (adding ,ENT_COMPAT | ENT_HTML401,"ISO-8859-1" to the htmlspecialchars call -- don't know why it works??
See: http://docs.php.net/manual/en/functi...ecialchars.php

PHP Code:

            if (($_REQUEST['do'] == 'vsaafr_addedit') AND $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,6))
            {
                $vsafr_getrule_set = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('r', 'cfrset', TYPE_UINT);
                if ($vsafr_getrule_set>0)
                {
                    $vbulletin->db->hide_errors();
                    $vsafr_getrule = $vbulletin->db->query_first("
                        SELECT id, name, rules
                        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vsa_frules AS vsa_frules
                        WHERE id = '" . $vbulletin->db->escape_string($vsafr_getrule_set) . "'
                    ");
                    $vsafr_getrule['name'] = htmlspecialchars($vsafr_getrule['name'],ENT_COMPAT | ENT_HTML401,"ISO-8859-1");
                    $vsafr_getrule['rules'] = htmlspecialchars($vsafr_getrule['rules'],ENT_COMPAT | ENT_HTML401,"ISO-8859-1");
                    $vbulletin->db->show_errors();
                } 


Edit: The two htmlspecialchars would seem to be pointless anyway

How did you solve this? I'm trying to translate the rules phrases but I cannot find the VSA phrases in the Phrase Manager. Need support please!

[forums55]

This mod doesn't have the vb rawphrase so I cannot seem to be able to translate it. Should I edit the whole Mod ?

Given the rules themselves are an editiable text, there is very little text that can be phrased.

In other words it is a single language mod

Thanks.

Sad though, otherwise is a nice mod.

You can set up multiple rule sets.
You could do the following:
1. Set up the default set with links to each language specific set of rules
2. Create a rule set for each language you need

You can link each rule by using a syntax like:
.../misc.php?do=vsarules&cfrset=7
The &cfrset=X (X = a number) allows a specific set to be linked.

We use multiple rule sets on our site.
