Hi Andy,
I need a checkbox for Privacy Policy in my Community registration form.
Can you tell me how to do this?

Mmm, untested, but in your signup form, add:

Code:
<input type="checkbox" name="accept_tos" id="accept_tos" value="ON"> accept the TOS

Code:
<script> 
sub do_check() { 
   if (jQuery('#accept_tos').attr('checked')) { 
       alert("please accept our TOS"); 
       return false; 
  } 
  return true; 
} 
</script>

..then in the <form bit, add:

Code:
onsubmit="return do_check();"

As I said, untested - but give it a go and see if it works =)

Cheers

Hi Andy,
is this without an entry in the database?
But I need a additional field in the database...

Re: [Matthias70] checkbox for Privacy Policy In reply to

Why do you need it in the DB?

If you do, then try this:

Mmm, untested, but in your signup form, add:

Code:
<input type="checkbox" name="prof_accept_tos" id="prof_accept_tos" value="ON"> accept the TOS

Code:
<script> 
sub do_check() { 
   if (jQuery('#prof_accept_tos').attr('checked')) { 
       alert("please accept our TOS"); 
       return false; 
  } 
  return true; 
} 
</script>

..then in the <form bit, add:

Code:
onsubmit="return do_check();"

Once this is ticked, it should then update the "prof_accept_tos" field in their profile.

Cheers

Re: [Andy] checkbox for Privacy Policy In reply to

Hi Andy,
I would like to have this checkbox beside the automatic profile form.
Just like I have it with the random image.
And I don't want to use javascript in the registration form.

In glinks include_form.html I'm using this code

Code:
<div class="row clear"> 
   <label for="agree" class="name">Check: <span>*</span><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br></label> 
  <div class="value"> 
    <input type="checkbox" id="agree" name="agree" value="Yes" <%if agree eq "Yes"%>checked<%endif%>> Text Text Text<br /><br /> 
  </div> 
</div>

Do you think this will work in community as well?

To have the field saved in GComm, you would need to just add it as another field in gcomm user signup Smile

I believe you can use tickboxes.

Re: [Andy] checkbox for Privacy Policy In reply to

Hi Andy,
in gcommunity admin I can only create columns for the automated profile form.
Can you tell me the mysql code for creating a field in the usertable
called agree
with the options
Form Values Yes
Form Names Yes

Re: [Matthias70] checkbox for Privacy Policy In reply to

Hi,

Its not as simple as that ;) If you want the value added into the DB - it would need to be in the .def file (otherwise GComm will simply ignore it, even though it is in the table itself)

Re: [Andy] checkbox for Privacy Policy In reply to

Hi Andy,
why is gcomm so complicated :-(

I created a field called prof_agree in the admin section, for the signup form.
Works fine!
Now I have the problem, that I need a text with a link, but the form value shows the link to the TOS in text but not in link form :-(

Re: [Matthias70] checkbox for Privacy Policy In reply to

Yeah, is a bit of a PITA sometimes

Something you could try, is in /lib/Community/Web/SSI.pm, find:

Code:
            $html .= ( $cols->{$col}->{not_null} ) ?  
                "<tr $opts->{tr}><td $opts->{td_l}>$title:</td><td $opts->{td_r}>$$input_html $opts->{required}</td></tr>" : 
                "<tr $opts->{tr}><td $opts->{td_l}>$title:</td><td $opts->{td_r}>$$input_html</td></tr>";

...try changign to:

Code:
          my $extra_text; 
           if ($title eq "whatever your TOS field is named") { 
              $extra_text = qq|Please read our <a href="/tos.html">TOS</a>|; 
           } 

            $html .= ( $cols->{$col}->{not_null} ) ?  
                "<tr $opts->{tr}><td $opts->{td_l}>$title:</td><td $opts->{td_r}>$$input_html $opts->{required} $extra_text</td></tr>" : 
                "<tr $opts->{tr}><td $opts->{td_l}>$title:</td><td $opts->{td_r}>$$input_html $extra_text</td></tr>";

Untested, but something like that should work for what you need :)

Re: [Andy] checkbox for Privacy Policy In reply to

Fortunately I don't need this workaround, cause the form display on the left side shows html :-)

Do you know how I can check this checkbox for all my already existing users?
At the moment it is unchecked for existing users...

Re: [Matthias70] checkbox for Privacy Policy In reply to

Cool

To update, just run this SQL query:

UPDATE comm_users SET the_Field = 'YES'

(or whatever the value is for the checkbox field)

Thanks for your help, Andy

At GossamerThreads,
don't you think we need a new more flexible version of gcomm !!!
