Forumrules Template

[WebStyles]

It seems as though the forumrules template doesn't have variables in the post rules. For example, I looked in the admin demo here, and the HTML is as follows:

-------------
<B>Who Can Read The Forum?</b> Any registered user or guest.<br>
<b>Who Can Post New Topics?</b> Any registered user.<br>
<B>Who Can Post Replies?</b> Any registered user.<br>
<b>Changes:</b> Messages can be edited by their author. Messages can be deleted by their author.<br>
<b>Posts:</b> HTML code is OFF. <a href="index.php?action=showsmilies" target=_blank>Smilies</a> are ON. <a href="index.php?action=bbcode" target=_blank>vB code</a> is ON. [IMG] code is ON.
-------------

Shouldn't it be something like:

-------------
<B>Who Can Read The Forum?</b> $readstatus.<br>
<b>Who Can Post New Topics?</b> $topicstatus.<br>
<B>Who Can Post Replies?</b> $replystatus.<br>
<b>Changes:</b> $editstatus.<br>
<b>Posts:</b> HTML code is $htmlstatus. <a href="index.php?action=showsmilies" target=_blank>Smilies</a> are $smiliestatus. <a href="index.php?action=bbcode" target=_blank>vB code</a> is $bbcodestatus. [IMG] code is $imgstatus.
-------------

Or do you have to make a different forumrules template to specify in the control panel for each forum?

I was wondering this myself to if this is possible..

Anyone?

I too was wondering about this, I noticed it when I was fixing all the messed up, borderless tables.
Didn't think to post it, glad you did though.
I hope there are variables to make it work right.

Actually, the HTML code, IMG code, smilies, and BB code toggles are all controlled as variables in vB 1.1.2. I believe the correct variables are $htmlcodeon, $imgcodeon, $smilieson, and $bbcodeon.

Is there a list anywhere with all variables? and a short discription? that would be very usefull

[thetakerfan]

I had forgotten about this thread, has anyone figured it out yet?
WebStyles-that isn't what we are talking about, those codes are fine and working, its the

Who Can Read The Forum? [b]Any registered user or guest.[/b]
Who Can Post New Topics? [b]Any registered user.[/b]
Who Can Post Replies? [b]Any registered user.[/b]

that is the problem

I also noticed this.
They have hard coded the text and not included variables.

I also wondered why they don't call all of this from a tepmlate.

I created my own template for it and set the variables, I am just waiting for someone to tell me how to call a template.

[thetakerfan]

what are the variables?

[WebStyles]

I believe that part is still hardcoded in... But I would consult the default templates in the members area to double check.

While the html is hard-coded, each forum can specify it's own rules template. Add a couple different rules templates to suit your needs and you're set. It's not a total solution, but it should work as a fix.

thats pretty annoying, I hope they fix this in an upcoming version.
