My own privacy policy.

[Viks]

Hi folks,


On my board, I would like to have a page for users which tell them

- about the Privacy policy.. ( and and option to have any update to it).
The users sud login and should have to "agree" on the new policy update before moving to the forums

- Want to add a page on "how to" post new threads and reply to threads.

- want to add a line to the text below
------------------
"If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ by clicking the link above. You may have to register before you can post: click the register link above to proceed. To start viewing messages, select the forum that you want to visit from the selection below. "
----------------------

Cud you guys point me as to how I cud go about doing this.

I was thinking if I cud add the "Privacy Policy" and "How to" url to the navbar at the bottom
=>
Contact Us - Thalforum.com - Archive - Top.

I was not sure if I sud post this at .org or here.. so i posted it here, but wud appreciate any suggestions or if u cud point me to the right direction.

Thanks,

Vik

For the privacy policy and the how-to's you could use the FAQ manager. This will be able to hold all of the content for you. However forcing your users to review it and agree to it would probably require hacking, so you should ask on vBulletin.org.

To add a line to the guest welcome message, go to the following:

Admin CP --> Languages & Phrases --> Search in Phrases

Enter first_visit_message in the first box and set the radio button to Phrase Variable Name Only and perform the search. Then you can edit the phrase.

And to add the link to the footer, do the following. Go to:

Admin CP --> Styles & Templates --> Style Manager --> « »

And edit the footer template. Find:

				<a href="$vboptions[contactuslink]">$vbphrase[contact_us]</a>

Add before it:

				<a href="http://www.example.com/forums/link/to/privacy/policy/">Privacy Policy</a> -

You then replace the link with your own link to the privacy policy. You can then repeat the above process for the "How-To" link.
