New Plugin: Terms of Service

Sat, 08 Apr 2023 07:54:03 +0000

I want my users to agree to my terms of service when they register an account or post anonymously. Since it required only a couple changes I used to patch the core code for this, but of course that's not a good practice because it requires the patches to be re-applied with every new release.

So I finally took the time and made my changes into a plugin: Q2A ToS

Accept terms and conditions for anonymous posts?

Mon, 29 Jun 2020 17:23:41 +0000

I want to allow anonymous questions and answers on my Q&A site only if the user accepts the terms and conditions (similar to user registration). Basically, I want a checkbox shown wherever the captcha is shown.

I'm aware that I can display a custom message, but I'm not sure if that is sufficient for consent under the GDPR.

Is there an option to enable such a checkbox? Or a plugin?

[New Plugin] Terms of Service Plugin

Wed, 12 Feb 2014 02:05:35 +0000

Description:

This plugin let's you add a Terms of Service validation checkbox to your Registration page.

How it Works:

by default it uses JavaScript validation. you can also enable Server Side validation instead, but it's not recommanded because it uses Page Override(developers tutorial on page override) which means it over rides the whole page and plugins page might not be the same as your version of Q2A(read it's description for more information).

Hi,

Login and go to Administration
User
Custom message on register form - HTML allowed:

Add this code :

<p><input onchange="this.setCustomValidity(validity.valueMissing ? 'Please indicate that you accept the Terms and Conditions' : '');" id="field_terms" type="checkbox" required name="terms"> I accept the <u>Terms and Conditions</u></p></form>

you can change the blue text if you want

Maybe will be better to create a plugin, but i don't know how to do ;)

Setup [x] accept terms and conditions as default in registration form?

Mon, 14 Oct 2013 16:21:05 +0000

I think this checkbox is essential for every forum. I don't know all laws in all countries, but in those that I know you have to make clear what happens to the content a user posted. You must have a box "I accept the terms and conditions" via checkbox that has to be clicked on registration page.

What happens with all our information here on http://www.question2answer.org/qa/ - it is not clear to me?! License? CC, GPL or full copyright? If not pointed out differently, as far as I know, the users owns all the copyright of their text. And nobody else can use it.

Because this is not implemented in core, the workaround for me was:

1. "admin/users" → Custom message in registry form:

<input id="nutzbed" type="checkbox" name="nbed_check" class="tc" /> <label><a href="http://mydomain.com/terms" target="_blank">Yes, I accept the terms and conditions.</a></label>

2. And use Jquery to check if this checkbox is checked when the user clicks on submit:

    // registration form: must tick checkbox
   if ($("#nutzbed").length > 0){
       var regForm = $(".qa-form-tall-table").parent();
       regForm.submit(function(e) {
           if(!$('input[type=checkbox]:checked').length) {
               e.preventDefault();
               $("#nutzbed").parent().parent().css("background-color","#FF6691");
               alert("Please accpet our terms and conditions.");
               window.scrollTo(0,50);
               return false;
           }
           return true;
       });
   }

But I think there should be a core solution, POSTing the checkbox to the server, and if not checked, throwing an error back.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
