Rules page as a Page rather than a phrase?

[RobParker]

As far as I can tell, the current Rules are simply a phrase you can edit in the ACP.

I'd like to create a rules Page but then it wouldn't show up when registering would it? Is there anyway around this?

 

[Paul B]

When you create a Page, a corresponding template is created.

So you could just include it in the register template using <xen:include template="_page_node.25" />

 

[RobParker]

Ah cool, would that also work if I changed the rules phrase to <xen:include template="_page_node.25" /> or can you not include code within phrases like that?

 

[Paul B]

That won't work in a phrase.

 

[RobParker]

But as the rules are a template themselves, can you remove the "terms_rules_text" phrase from the help_terms template and replace it with the template include you suggested.

<xen:title>{xen:phrase terms_of_service_and_rules}</xen:title>

<div class="baseHtml">

<xen:include template="_page_node.63"/>

</div>

That seems to work but any idea if it'll cause problems anywhere?

 

[Paul B]

You can do that.

But why not just edit the phrase then?

 

[RobParker]

Because I wanted it in the node tree which it wouldn't be then would it?

 

[Paul B]

So why not edit the phrase and just include that in the page node?

{xen:phrase terms_rules_text}

 

[RobParker]

Didn't realise that'd work

Page nodes support CSS, HTML and XenForo syntax

You can make a static rules.html, or a directory or a remote web site, or a thread, or a node: page, etc ..

in the admin.php > options > you can SET where the rules point to, and it adapts to registration page, and the footer ..
