Terms of Service Module

From the readme.txt

Quote

At the first time that this module is run (by visiting the forum), the
module will automatically create a custom profiles field for storing the
acceptance date of the TOS. You should be able to see the field in the admin
interface under "Custom Profiles":
Field name: mod_tos
Field length: 8
Disable HTML: yes

This Just doesn't happen :(

What can be wrong?

- Module enabled in the admin section?
- Did you use the version 1 of this module before?

Thank you a lot for this module.
May I suggest you a very small change in terms_of_service.php, line 14->16 ?
instead

= '<textarea style="width: 100%;height: 200px;">'
.$PHORUM['DATA']['LANG']['TOSContent']
.'</textarea><div>'

replace with

= '<div style="padding: 5px; overflow: auto; height: 200px; " align="left" >'
.$PHORUM['DATA']['LANG']['TOSContent']
.'</div><div>'

This will need to replace \n by <br> in language file.

Thanks for your suggestion. I added it to the new version 2.0.1.

I do this replacement in the module so it isn't necessry to change the language file.

I hadn't enabled the module i the admin section - Oops!

The checkbox is mandatory. You don't have to change something. If the checkbox is not checked, the user will get an error message.

I can't see the checkbox and therefore can't post on the board.. I followed all the directions and double checked everything.. then checked again.. the code of conduct shows up when you click the link after the login button as directions stated to put a link to it, but no checkbox or TOSAgree agree text on the page...

everything looks great on the register page..

any ideas?..

Thanks,
Judith

Did you change posting_buttons.tpl like explained in the readme file?

5. To have the TOS agreement show up in the posting form, just put {TOS} in
   posting_buttons.tpl. I recommend just at the beginning of this file before
   the first line.

Sure, that you changed the file in the correct template directory?

no, I'm sorry I thought it would have the same effect as it did on the registration form. its working now...

is there any way to have the checkbox show up on the terms-of-service page?..

Thanks,
Judith

Why? The term of service page is to inform what users have signed when they accepted the TOS.

Guest have to "sign" the TOS for each post.

Registered users are signing once when they register. Or once with the first post after changes of the TOS.

So what is the use of the checkbox on the TOS-page?
