Glad you like it. Thanks for the install!

[janslu]

I didn't check properly. It doesn't work on my forum (3.8.0 rc1). No matter if I check the box I land on a "You didn't accept rules" page. Any idea what may be wrong?

[ringleader]

My bad.

Change this in the template edit:

<div><label for="cb_rules_agree"><input type="checkbox" name="agree" id="cb_rules_agree" value="1" /><strong><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[read_agree_abide_by_rules]</phrase></strong></label></div>

to this:

<div><label for="cb_rules_agree"><input type="checkbox" name="agreebypass" id="cb_rules_agree" value="1" /><strong><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[read_agree_abide_by_rules]</phrase></strong></label></div>

[janslu]

Thanks. Everything works fine.

This mod stopped working in 3.8. Anyway to get this working again?

[xlguy]

I'd also love to get this for 3.8 if possible?

I had to make a super-fast-and-dirty hack to make this work again. This is a core file change, so don't do it unless you're fine doing it before every upgrade:

In register.php find this:

PHP Code:

if (!$vbulletin->GPC['agree'])
{
    eval(standard_error(fetch_error('register_not_agreed', $vbulletin->options['forumhome'], $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q'])));
} 


And comment out the "eval" line:

PHP Code:

if (!$vbulletin->GPC['agree'])
{
    #eval(standard_error(fetch_error('register_not_agreed', $vbulletin->options['forumhome'], $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q'])));
} 


It's something like line 587 or so in 3.8. Anywho, that's the "bad" way of fixing the issue. :erm: Personally I don't care since this is like the third thing I have to hack in register.php to make the registration process not suck so bad.

Quick and dirty hack is installed and working on 3.8
