Terms of Service

Rajio

Right now when a user signs on to the forum they have to agree to a terms of service.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this community to post any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law. You agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you.

We at this community also reserve the right to reveal your identity (or whatever information we know about you) in the event of a complaint or legal action arising from any message posted by you. We log all internet protocol addresses accessing this web site.

We reserve the right to remove any content for any reason or no reason at all. We reserve the right to terminate any membership for any reason or no reason at all.

You must be at least 13 years of age to use this service.

now I don't know PHP (yet) but would it be tough to change this terms of service to a my own text? Ideally this text would just be in the dashboard so I could change it. Would make a handy feature or addon.

Just throwing it out there.

If you're using the default theme:

Inside /themes/default/
Create a folder called "views".
Inside that, create a subfolder called "home".
Inside that, create a file called "termsofservice.php".

Copy this text into it, and then edit it however you like.

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit(); ?>

<h1>Terms of Service</h1>

Great, thanks I've still got to learn more about how the /views/ works and what I can do with it.

Hi love this, but is there a way to make the box wider appreciate the help.

Tim

Yes, by editing the CSS for the Popup.

It's even easier to replace that text by just setting $Definition['TermsOfServiceText'] in locale.php. If you're not using a custom theme already, I'd recommend this.

RichGriese

you can also change the $Definition['TermsOfServiceText'] variabel text in /applications/dashboard/locale/en-CA/definitions.php file directly.

Your better off creating your own and dropping it into your theme folder. Then you dont suffer overwrite at upgrade.
