XF 2.2 Confirm understand rules before posting topic

[MyPoloNL]

We have a small market-place on our forum and we have some rules for the topic, we see a lot of people not reading the rules (sticky thread), we want to remind our members for following the rules before they can post a topic (this should only show in our market place subforums.

Is there any possibility for this? Or do you guys know some add-on for this?

Could try a dismissible notice on the market-place forum. A notice is much more likely to be read than a sticky thread.

You can do it with a custom thread field, checkbox for “Yes I read the rules” and make it required.

It won’t guarantee they actually read them though

Of course it only applies to the thread starter and not replies.

[OzzModz] Force Users To Read Threads

They have created rules for your forum in a thread, but nobody reads them? Then use this add-on. It forces users to read a particular thread and only then can they view other threads/Forum etc.

Also you might want to figure out why these rules are being ignored and address it. For example, you may have a rule that they must state a price. If this is being ignored, you could create a required price field. Just one example.

Maybe a noob question, but where can i add such required field(s)?

We have that field as well. Just a text field. However we added a regex Regular Expressions which only allows numbers common currency symbols £ $ € as well as -

^(£|\$|€)(\d{1,3}(\,\d{3})*|(\d+))(\.\d{2})?(\s*(-|(to))\s*(£|\$|€)?(\d{1,3}(\,\d{3})*|(\d+))(\.\d{2})?)?$
