Require Users to Sign A Contract Before Posting in Specified Forums

[amykhar]

This is a port of this mod:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=76835

This little mod forces users to read and sign a "contract" before it allows them to post in certain forums of your choosing.

You may define a different contract for each of your forums if you so choose.
-------------------------------
YOU may easily extend this idea to make readers sign a contract before reading a certain forum. I do not need this feature and will not be adding it at this time.

Installation on 3.5 RC1 is as simple as importing the product.
------------------------------

This hack will always be free, however your donations are kindly accepted and will help towards further development. If you donate, please leave me some info (either your forum site or username at vB.org) so that I can thank you.

Take two on the attachment:

[LiveWire]

Hook Location : newthread_start
(sign contract before posting new thread)
Find:

PHP Code:

                if ($ticketarray[$foruminfo[forumid]]»2) 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

                if ($ticketarray[$foruminfo[forumid]] == 2) 


And phrase don't seem to be working properly, See SS.

[amykhar]

The first is not an error. Three tickets boots the user. 2 is ok. It looks like the special phrases didn't get inported again. I'll go look at that.

Well this char » generates an error. I was assuming you wanted a ==.

[hellsatan]

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/cman/public_html/vbh.org/newthread.php(68) : eval()'d code on line 14
It does not initiate the contract thing :p

Thats do to that char mentioned in my above post. Worked when i added the '=='.

[amykhar]

OK. Change to > I don't know how the character got hosed

I am having problems getting the phrasegroup register merged in as a plugin. I am trying to do it in the cache_templates hook, but no dice.

if (THIS_SCRIPT == "newthread") { 
$phrasegroups = array_merge($phrasegroups, array('register'));
}

[amykhar]

Livewire, I think you just found a bug in the product export. My code doesn't have that symbol, but the xml file does.

[LiveWire]

I found a buggie! -_-. I'll test on my server and report it.

Sorry. I was reporting it while you were posting that.

I was just confirming that it was a bug in the product not something you did yourself :p

Okay everything works perfect but the phrase. I can't figure out how to get the register phrase there.

I just added a space like this:

PHP Code:

if ($ticketarray[$foruminfo[forumid]] > 2) 


So it don't export that char.

Also, you should use

$db->hide_errors();
$db->query("ALTER TABLE ".TABLE_PREFIX."user ADD tickets VARCHAR( 250 ) NOT NULL");
ect....
$db->show_errors();

[amykhar]

OK. Here's the next release with the phrase and other problems fixed. (The phrase fix is in the instructions)

[LiveWire]

But the user would have to have debug mode on in order to change the phrase type right?

[hellsatan]

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in /home/cman/public_html/vbh.org/ticket.php on line 25

ticket.php doesn't work

2 things I've noticed about why:

PHP Code:

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'newthread'); 


Should be

PHP Code:

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'ticket'); 


There is no closing

PHP Code:

?> 


I've fixed both these errors and still get the parse error though...

Edit: Found it:

PHP Code:

if (!can_moderate($vbulletin->GPC['forumid']) 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

if (!can_moderate($vbulletin->GPC['forumid']))

[amykhar]

I'll look at it. I don't know how I got different versions into the zip than I have running here.

[hellsatan]

Another error:

PHP Code:

$tickets[$forumid] = 1;
}
}
 
}
else
{ 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

$tickets[$forumid] = 1;
}
 
}
else
{ 


Edit: And another:

PHP Code:

// If he doesn't, add the ticket
$tickets[$forumid] = 1 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

// If he doesn't, add the ticket
$tickets[$forumid] = 1;
