UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V6 Modifications Beta-[6.5] Force Rules 1.1

Mod Name / Version: Force Rules 1.1

Description: This allows you to force all users to view and agree to your forum rules. Basically, if they have never agreed to the rules, once they login, they will be presented with the rules page. They won't be able to do anything else until they read to the bottom and click "I agree". It keeps track in the users table who has agreed, and if you ever change or update your rules, you can use an SQL Query to set everyone back, so that they are forced to read/agree again.

Pretty simple mod but I have this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getmicrotime() in /usr/www/efs/ubbthreads/includes/main.inc.php on line 16

This line of code ;

$Query .= "U_Username,U_Password,U_SessionId, U_StyleSheet, U_Status, U_Privates, U_FrontPage, U_Number, U_Banned,U_LastOn";


Actually looks like this due to the sidebar modification and something else I dont recognize;

$Query .= "U_Username,U_Password,U_SessionId, U_StyleSheet, U_Status, U_Privates, U_FrontPage, U_Number, U_Banned,U_LastOn,U_OC_Userid, U_SideBar,U_Agree"; //<<<is that correct?


and you left out in the instructions where to put showrules.php. I assume it goes in the threads directory?

The error with main generally will occur if you don't have the path set correctly.

Yes, if you've modified the authenticate query - you'll add the U_Agree onto the end of it.

I am sorry Josh I am not sure I follow you.

There are no path settings in any of the three files for this hack.
You may want to look at the install.txt as I said there is no direction on where to put showrules.php but I assumed it is the UBBThreads dir.

I have removed this at the moment to suppress the error

// If they haven't agreed to the rules, then we force them to - by JoshPet
if ((!$user['U_Agree']) && ($user['U_Username']) ) {
$topoutput = "<font size="+1"><b>You MUST agree to these rules before you can continue.</b></font><br /><br />";
$agreebutton = "<br /><br /><div align="center">

<input type="submit" class="buttons" name="agree" value="I Agree To These Rules">
</form></div><br />
";

if (!$debug) {
include("$thispath/templates/$tempstyle/showrules.tmpl");
}

// Send the footer
$this -> send_footer();
exit;
}

}
