Modifying Terms of Service

SharonLipinski

Hello, everyone! I am trying to modify the terms of service and I'm following the instructions at this post: http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/18202/how-to-change-i-agree-to-the-terms-of-service

Unfortunately, I'm getting an error, and I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong.

Below is what I've added to my config.php file. Thanks so much for any help you can share!

$Definition['TermsOfServiceText'] = "

The code continues on like this for a while (it was written up by my attorney, and you know they go on forever!!! I did include some code for list formatting in the terms of service, too (li and ul)

It ends like this:

The Company is not tax exempt under 501(c)(3) and that your Dues are not tax deductible.
";

$Definition['TermsOfServiceText'] = "

try this
$Definition['TermsOfServiceText'] = '

your single and double quotes are probably conflicting.

either the statement in the definition should have all single quotes and wrapped in double quotes or vice-versa.

nice followup. You set a good example.

Brilliant! Yes, the single quote worked. However, the new terms of service were not showing up. It turns out the correct file to edit is /applications/dashboard/locale/en-CA/definitions.php

The correct code looks like this:

$Definition['TermsOfService'] = 'Terms of Service';
$Definition['TermsOfServiceText'] = '
