How To Make Your TOS Show Before Users See Your Site-By Special Request


I don't know about other cms's, but this one works for sowh4t's cms.

First rename your current index.php to "home.php." Now, take your tos, copy it, and paste it into your directory folder. Rename it as "index.php." Now you have your pages set. Next, go to top.php, and find

PHP:
                            </table>
                               </td>
                                <td valign="top" align="left"  background="images/cbg.jpg" width="612">
                                <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td width="611"><a href="index.php"><img src="images/tnav-home.jpg" border="0"></a><a href="news.php"><img src="images/tnav-news.jpg" border="0"></a><a href="events.php"><img src="images/tnav-events.jpg" border="0"></a><a href="register.php"><img src="images/tnav-register.jpg" border="0"></a><a href="<?php echo $forumurl; ?>"><img src="images/tnav-forum.jpg" border="0"></a><a href="ranking.php"><img src="images/tnav-ranking.jpg" border="0"></a><a href="guilds.php"><img src="images/tnav-guilds.jpg" border="0"></a></td></tr></table>
                                <div style="padding: 10px;">
                                <font size="1" color="#000000">

Change the part that says <a href="index.php"><img src="images/tnav-home.jpg border="0"></a> to
<a href="home.php"><img src="images/tnav-home.jpg border="0"></a>.

Now, you have to set up the Accept/Decline Option when you go to your website.
Open up index.php(the copied TOS) you should see:
PHP:
<?php include ("top.php"); ?>

What do you mean? I wasn't saying that in an insulting way. I just said that since it opens index.php first, it only makes sence to rename the tos to index.php so that the tos opens first...
What a way to kill it >.>

Some people say that TOS' are just useless and are used to take up your bandwidth. TOS' can't do anything to Nexon.

You should paint your hair blue and strip infront of their office, that's just as dumb as your idea. (no offense, it's just true)
