Why [Ap Yazılım] Category Rules?​

Complete Security & Control
More than a visual warning — with server-side (PHP) validation, it technically prevents topic creation unless the confirmation checkbox is selected.


Brand-Specific Design
Thanks to the advanced color palette managed from the admin panel, you can perfectly match the add-on with your forum theme without any coding knowledge.


User-Friendly Experience
Doesn’t annoy users by repeatedly showing the same warning. With its time-based system, it remembers the user’s approval for the duration you specify.

Key Add-on Features​

Category-Based Customization
Define different rules, titles, and icons for each category. Set separate rules for marketplace categories and general discussion areas.

User Group-Based Authorization: Complete control over rule visibility. Use the XenForo permission system to target specific groups, allowing you to bypass rules for staff while enforcing them for general users.


Time-Based Smart Approval System
Once a user accepts the rules, they won’t be required to approve them again for the duration you define (e.g., 15 minutes or 24 hours). This ensures discipline without harming the user experience.


Advanced Style & Color Management
Easily customize all visual elements—including title colors, icon colors, button colors, and backgrounds—directly from XenForo’s Style Properties section. No CSS knowledge required.


PHP-Powered Security Lock
Goes beyond JavaScript restrictions. Thanks to server-side PHP validation, even if a user attempts to bypass the restriction via the browser, they will never be able to create a topic without approval.


Customizable Buttons & Icons
With Font Awesome support, choose category-appropriate icons and manage button texts and warning messages either via the admin panel or language phrases.


Dynamic & Elegant Interface
A bold red attention-grabbing warning area, modern checkbox design, and animated buttons that activate (and change color) upon approval add a premium look to your forum.


Fully Mobile Responsive
All rule and approval areas are fully optimized for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices, ensuring a flawless experience on every screen.
