==========


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;

I wonder if it will be hard to put an option on the admin panel to change the color of Forum rules text, so whatever you enable it on the nav bar, it will keep the color you define there.

I think that the cyb donate menu (different hack...but has that option) has a option for that in the product that you choose via the admin cp....probably would not be a hard option for a expert code....cyb

Cybernetec,

I don't know why I am not able to install the new version
It tried to install it (over writing the old one), I always get the page can not be displayed after w while..
I have uninstalled the prev on even, still, getting the page can not be displayed after few seconds..

I have tested installing and over writing another hacks, there was no problem..

What could be wrong :cry:

Regards
Ghanem

I have tested it on my colegue forum who did not install it before, got the same problem
It shows its trying to intstall, takes loong time and then the page comes up with "the page can not be displayed.."

I will PM you an admin account.

Update:
Problem solved when I uploaded the file to the server and install it from there directly
Thank you Cybernetec for your efforts

Awesome, Cybernetec! The Bbcode is suddenly working again on my cfrules page.
A quick question: Is it possible to redirect users back to the page they were viewing before having to read the rules?

Again, Thank you very much for all your great work.
