​Hello.

Questions:
- Will this appear for all members once installed, or will only certain members get it when I select so?
- It creates a new menu item, which I don't want. How can I disable this?

[Adriano Faria]

Only users from selected groups will be required to agree with terms. You can disable the app menu on Applications as any other app.

If the terms are rather long will it show a scroll up/down buttons or show one long page?

[Adriano Faria]

Didin't test it. Probably the whole page. Test this (and all other things) and let us know.

[RObiN-HoOD]

Ok, I copy-pasted 20 pages of word document and while in the AdminCP TOS settings page the document is retained, in the front end only about 3+1/2 pages are shown and then it's cut, stopping abruptly.

I guess you should check it out with long texts and do it as I suggested with scrolling up and down.

[Adriano Faria]

It a setting (EDITOR), default field from IPS4. And I guess if you have a 20 TOS page, you won't get any user there. You gonna bore everyone.

I'll probably add something like that in a future version. I won't release a version only for this.

[RObiN-HoOD]

Fair enough. If you mark it for future, fine by me.

​Also make it where the option to Agree doesn't activate until they hit the bottom.

​Also make it where the option to Agree doesn't activate until they hit the bottom.

​I want to do it as it is on 3.4: it has a timer configurable on a setting. The AGREE button appears only after X seconds. But play with JQuery now it's not so easy and I can't waste much time, due to other apps I need to deliver.

What's the difference between this app 'Terms of Service 3.0.0' and this 'Registration Terms & Rules Before Register Screen 2.0.0'?

I understand the time constraints, looking for a release of Tutorials sometime soon.

[Adriano Faria]

Terms of Service will  make members agree after register the account. You can also make the member or all members agree again if you change the terms; while the other appears once on register screen.

[mesteele101]

They are confusing, possibly connecting them in some way (in the future) and making the pay for model the Pro version.

[Adriano Faria]

Yeah, good idea. TOS definitely could be paid but as it is free since from version 1, thought it was better to keep it free.

[RObiN-HoOD]

Combine them, make them paid and put everything we wish for in it (and more)

Could also say that "Registration Terms & Rules Before Register Screen 2.0.0" uses the boards build in ToS and make that show before you register your account. It basically just moves it's position in the queue when registering.

Where "Terms of Service 3.0.0" is custom you enter the text they should agree upon after they are registered. So ex. if you update your ToS or Rules you could enter that into this and force people to read only the updated part and agree to it. That way your members will always be up to date with your Terms and Rules etc.

Hi Adrian,

I've just downloaded this file but I don't see no .XML file within the .zip

Screenshots, readme.html (says simply upload the .xml) and a .rar folder with folders and files in (I can't see no .xml in there either).

Thanks

Log in to your IP.Board Admin CP and visit the System tab -> Plugins -> Install New Plugin. Browse to the XML file included with these instructions and click Open.

[Adriano Faria]

It's an APPLICATION. Upload the .tar on APPLICATONS. I'll fix the html asap.

​Readme.html fixed.

I love the idea behind this, but I couldn't get it to load...

[Adriano Faria]

You have to upload it to Applications. The HTML was wrong, mentioning Plugins.

It seems to me that I found some bugs in your application (which I love):

• For some reason the word "Terms" in the navigation can not be translated. Whenever I try it returns back to "Terms".
• Link to Terms remains in the navigation even if ToS is disabled.

[Adriano Faria]

• For some reason the word "Terms" in the navigation can not be translated. Whenever I try it returns back to "Terms".

True. Open applications\tos\extensions\core\FrontNavigation\tos.php and find:

return \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->language()->addToStack('app_title');

Change to:

return \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->language()->addToStack('__app_tos');

After that you're able to translate it on ACP or via Quick Translating.

• Link to Terms remains in the navigation even if ToS is disabled.

This is working as it should. Anyway, on same file above, find:

return \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->canAccessModule( \IPS\Application\Module::get( 'tos', 'tos' ) );

Change to:

return !\IPS\Application::load('tos')->hide_tab AND \IPS\Settings::i()->tos_enabled AND \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->canAccessModule( \IPS\Application\Module::get( 'tos', 'tos' ) );

 

Both fixes + text delimiter/scroller will be on next version

Would it be possible to have TOS on the bottom like a footer link where Privacy Policy so people can click to it if they wish at anytime. So anytime a page is loaded it will be in the footer as a hyperlink to the TOS page?

I just think it's a duplicate link, since the navigation tab will appear on all pages as well but ​I can add this, no problem...
