    • EULA on login?

    Posted by Elizabeth Dalton posts: 38 United States

    Hi folks,

    I've been using tiki for about a year, for various websites. I'm currently using it to set up a site to support a collectable card game I'm developing. I'm on Tiki 1.9.2 running on Linux (Debian, I believe — I host with TigerTech.net).

    This summer registered users will be able to download a free beta starter deck in jpg form so they can print it and play and post comments to the forum. However, I'd like to require a EULA (End User License Agreement) before they download, or preferably, before they register. Displaying and requiring acknowledgement of a Privacy Statement would be a good idea, too.

    At this point I have the EULA in the description of the File Gallery in which I've uploaded the zip file of the images. What I'd rather do is have visitors click an "I agree" statement in order to register on the site. I thought I could do this by setting a user or group tracker, but it doesn't seem like the tracker questions show during login, so how would someone ever know they should fill them out? and nothing enforces filling them out, as far as I can tell.

    Can anyone offer suggestions? Am I going to need to hack the login php script to display the EULA? It seems to me that the ability to display a EULA and/or privacy agreement should be fairly common. Has anyone else already done this?

    Thanks,

    edalton

    For one site, I just modified tiki-register.tpl. I put an asterisk at the register submit button and added something like this below the button on the page: *Submission of this registration application signifies your acknowledgement of and consent to the XXX-XXXXXX ))Non-Disclosure(( Agreement, as specified below....

    I modeled that on similar agreement methods I found after doing a bit of research.

    I think I'll combine this with the other suggestion — I'll state on the registration page that the EULA will be sent via email and must be read and agreed to. Thanks!

    I would update the ../templates/mail/user_validation_mail.tpl to include the full EULA. Then just add a line at the bottom:

    "To accept this EULA and complete your registration, click this link:"

    Or something similar. This way, the EULA is emailed to every person who registers at your site — and they'll have a copy of it.

    You'll also be able to track, through your host's records, that you sent the email (with the EULA) to every user.
