Hi Josh,<br /><br />I tried to include it but got the following error usind the Board Rules link:<br />Parse error: parse error in /abspath/ubbthreads/showrules.php on line 71<br /><br />Any idea?<br />

Nice one Josh.<br /><br />It worked like a charm. I think that Rick has to consider this as a permanent feature in the next release.

It looks good on my site <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I just installed it. Easy hack, and really handy so users can be reminded of how to behave. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

[]Hi Josh, <br /> <br />I tried to include it but got the following error usind the Board Rules link: <br />Parse error: parse error in /abspath/ubbthreads/showrules.php on line 71 <br /> <br />Any idea? <br /> [/] <br /> <br />I get the same thing. The reason being is showrules.php has the ending ?> missing in the distribution file. However seems there are more errors than that

OK - <br />Updated the zip to version 1.1<br /><br />I don't know what happened... but it appears I someone had the wrong version of the showrules.php that I was using. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I think I need sleep. Somehow I had an old version on my HD and the working version on measurection. <br /><br />Thanks to Dalantech for some tablewrapper tweaks and Omegatron for bugfixes. <br /><br />This should work this time. <br /><br />

OK - wait.<br /><br />For some reason this still doesn't work right on some boards. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I'm not sure why... it seems to poop on the part where it reads the "rules" file. <br /><br />I took this bit from the newuser script, so I'm not sure what might be wrong with it. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

He he.. nevermind.<br /><br />I reuploaded the file on the server it wasn't working on and now it works. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /><br /><br /><img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Let me know if there are any more issues. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

OK - this doesn't seem to like some servers. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Could one of the Dave's or someone really PHP saavy take a look at this for me?<br /><br />The latest version seems to choke on line 64 I think... <br /><br />I took this code from the newuser.php but I don't fully understand it.<br /><br />Although it works fine for some. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /><br /><br /><shrug>

Okay I am one of the guys whose server it chokes on LOL Anyway here is the templated version I did up that seems to work fine for me. <br /> <br />Edit: Worked Omegatron's template into the final version... attached to the main post. <br />Thanks. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

If anyone has trouble with mine.. please see if Omegatron's fixes it. It should be templated anyway.<br /><br />As soon as we see that it works for everyone... I'll update the main post with Omegatron's templates... as that's the right way to do it. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Good work Omegatron! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Thank you!

Josh It looks like its calling for boardrules.php mine is called showrules.php ? Did you use a different name?<br /><br /> Anyway going to try chucks now..

boardrules.php is the file in the includes directory where the rules are stored. It's basically a text file, editable from the admin section.<br /><br />That shouldn't be the issue. But I'm puzzled. Maybe Omegatron fixed it. <hope hope hope>

yes his works like a charm ... good work guys, THANKS

I updated to version 1.1 and still getting an error<br /><br />Parse error: parse error in /abspath/ubbthreads/showrules.php on line 65<br /><br />line 63> $boardrules .= <<<EOF<br />line 64> </td><br />line 64> </tr><br /><br />The old parser error I got was also near <br />$boardrules .= <<<EOF<br /><br />You can see a demo here ;D<br />http://www.clanforums.com/ubbthreads/showrules.php?Cat=

Do me a favor... try omegatron's version here and let me know if that fixes it. <br /><br />If it does, I'll update the main zip. <br /><br />His additions are better... and more standardized as it adds a template. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

omegatron's solution is working fine for me <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Great!<br /><br />Three cheers for omegatron! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Updated the main post to Included Omegatron's template, plus support for the who's online page. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Thanks. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
