Terms of Service Module

Hi Chris,

I reply my questions:

The sanity checks are now ok? Which template do you use? The default template?

Oliver

I am using the default template. The sanity check says there is an error with the terms of service module:

"Sanity check failed Your template file "posting_buttons.tpl" misses {TOS}."

I was under the assumption that I could use this mod without putting the terms of service on the posting page. I just want it on the registration page. Is that wrong? Do I have to have it in both places for this to work correctly?

Sanity check stops at first error. Perhaps there ist another error. Please make the necessary changes to posting_buttons.tpl and check again.

Please clear also your cache directory.

Since it seems to me that you had already a lot of trouble with your Phorum-installation I recommend to start with a fresh installation and to add modules one by one.

I never tested that. But if you allow only registered users to post and if you never change the TOS-date in settings there's no effect on the posting page. So make also the changes to posting_buttons.tpl. Your users never will see the TOS on the posting page in that case.

Ok everything is working now except for the terms of service on the registration page. The sanity check says everything is ok. I am seeing this error in my logs now:

1161040774: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''20061016')' at line 1: insert into phorum_user_custom_fields (user_id,type,data) VALUES(33,,'20061016')

Any idea how to fix this? I tried searching google but have had no luck. I appreciate the help

Thanks.
Chris

Please check your phorum_settings table for the default settings (for example with phpMyAdmin):

SELECT `name`,`type`,`data` FROM `phorum_settings` WHERE `name` LIKE 'mod_tos%'

Do you get two rows?

Yes I'm seeing two records. Screen shot attached.

That's correct. Please chek now the Custom Profile Field. Go to Phorum Admin, Custom Profile. There should be a field mod_tos, length=8, HTML disabled=Yes. Does this field exist?

I got my issue fixed. I deleted the mod_tos record from the database and added it back through the admin area. I think there is something wrong with the way the install of the mod creates that record.

Love the module! I have it installed only on the Registration page.

My existing Admin account is getting a "You must agree to the terms of service to post." error message when trying to post a message. And when I try to register a new user, I get this error message:

I do get two rows in the table when I do the "SELECT `name`,`type`,`data` FROM `phorum_settings` WHERE `name` LIKE 'mod_tos%'" query in phpMyAdmin.
