First I'd like to make note that only Founding Administrator's can access the templates.
Now we must decide whether we went it under the Quick Reply, the extended reply or both (This is a critical step)
Head to your Templates
Admin panel >> Display ( Tab ) >> Templates
Version: PHPBB2
Quick reply
Head to General > Viewtopic_Body
Locate this code: {QUICK_REPLY_FORM}
Now insert this code:
- Code:
<table class="forumline" width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0">
<tr><th colspan="{topics_list_box.row.header_table.COLSPAN}" align="center" nowrap="nowrap">Admin's Message:</th></tr>
<tr><td>1) do NOT post in capitals
2) Do NOT post in all bold
3)Don't Post Like Your from Germany Like This
4) Add your own here
</td></tr>
</table>
Modify the rules for yourself, save & publish
Under the Extended Reply
Locate this template Post & Private messages > Posting_Body
This is below the reply box, but above the preview, draft & send buttons
locate this code
- Code:
{CODE_CONFIRM}
Hit enter, and insert the code
- Code:
<table class="forumline" width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0">
<tr><th colspan="{topics_list_box.row.header_table.COLSPAN}" align="center" nowrap="nowrap">Admin's Message:</th></tr>
<tr><td>1) do NOT post in capitals
2) Do NOT post in all bold
3)Don't Post Like Your from Germany Like This
4) Add your own here
</td></tr>
</table>
Modify the rules for yourself, save & publish
