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.

I'm not that resourceful in coding but thanks for the TIP.

I am currently having same issue here,
Doesn't happen to myself in admin usergroup, but users can not get passed the loop of keep having to click accept. the odd thing is that the rule they have to click accept for isn't the one I have set for that group.
I have one rule (#2) set in one forum, but they are being forced to accept the general rule (#1) over and over and page keeps returning to same general rule, but never able to get into that forum.?

I have then tried myself with different browsers and different accounts and the issue is persisting.... any idea?


Some more informations that may help to understand what is happening:

• if I go to the profile of one of these users with the admin account I can read that the rules have been accepted "Rules accepted: 06-24-2010, 10:53 PM"
• But it's not true. If the users go back and try to start a thread, they are redirected to the Forum Rules
• Even if I change the timer to 0, the loop persists

P.s. in other forums using the same application it works

OK, Got it!

This shouldn't have mattered but, this single forum section that I had set a rule only for is set in forum options for "not active" because I use a link on the NAVBAR to access is using the url instead of having it listed on the main forum page, changed it to "active"

Hope this helps someone else too.

See: http://docs.php.net/manual/en/functi...ecialchars.php

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)

Edit: The two htmlspecialchars would seem to be pointless anyway

Thanks, this solved my problem.

For those who are wanting to fix the specialchars,

edit:

VSa - Advanced Forum Rules - RA

With hook location:

misc_start

and copy/paste (override everything) with:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

I know the answer is in the above posts, but I made it easier for people to copy/paste the solution rather than searching for the proper plugin/line(s) to alter.

It seems this mod doesn't work for the blog. Is it possible to make the forum rules also apply to the blog?

[JesWhite]

i want to show forum rules before registration...
how can i do this ?

[dariyos]

Is it possible to translate the forum rules into an other language?

e.g. the original text is german,
and when I change the forum language into english, it shows the english text

like replace phrases (when I have two texts)

But I think the rules-text is not a phrase. Can't find that as a phrase...

I would just create two sets of rules, one in each language.

[dariyos]

This is a bad solution... I didn't want to set a new rule.. other suggestions?

An other problem:

When I want to edit the rules, it shows only an empty field, nothing filled in.
So it's not possible to edit it??

[MarkFL]

Regarding your question about displaying the rules in the user-selected language, what I think I would do is use HTML in the defined rules, where each set of rules in the different languages is wrapped in a div element having a classname that is the language. For example:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Then create a plugin hooked at "parse_templates" as follows:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Now, as to why you aren't able to edit your rules, I don't know. I am able to edit them on my dev and production sites. If you want, create a temporary admin account for me, and PM the login credentials to me, and I will be glad to come to your site and see if I can get both issues resolved.

[dariyos]

thanks a lot!

it works fine,
language ID = 4 is my english language..

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

And the empty field is only because I putted html code to format the text..

my text shows like this:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

When I edit this, it shows nothing.

when I put a text without html code, the text will be displayed, but without formatting.

[MarkFL]

If the languageid is 4 for English, then you want:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Can you post a screenshot of your product settings?

[dariyos]

thanks, it works.

These are my settings:

[MarkFL]

Okay, try disabling BB Codes in rules (that's the way I have mine set)...see if that allows you to edit.
