User Registration Rules in FAQ

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I am a new administrator for WebWiz Forums, and I do not yet have a deep knowledge of WWF. However, I have made a minor patch to the help.asp page of WWF v10 which may be useful to other new administrators. 
When a new user registers with WWF by clicking the Register link, the user views the Registration Rules which may be accepted or declined. If an existing user wishes to be reminded of these rules, it is necessary to click the Register link to view them. It is possible that an existing user might not realise this. Therefore, it would be desirable to include these rules in the help.asp page obtained when a user clicks the FAQ link because they could be expected to be included on that page.

The text of the Registration Rules is available through the global string variable strRegistrationRules, and it can be used in patching the help.asp page.

The help.asp page needs to be patched in 2 places as shown in the following 2 excerpts. In each case,  the patched code is marked in red.

Excerpt 1:

<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" class="tableBorder" align="center">
  <tr class="tableLedger">
  <td><% = strTxtChooseAHelpTopic %></td>
  </tr>
  <tr class="tableSubLedger">
  <td><% = strTxtLoginAndRegistration %></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
  <td class="tableRow">

<!-- -->
