WordPress MU

Hello,

I've seen a few conversations on this subject already, but none seem to either offer a solution or be up to date.

I'm working on a blog hosting service, and I don't really want to allow sign ups until people must agree to the TOS before signing up, as they do on Wordpress.com (http://wordpress.com/signup/)

Is there a hack/plugin/some code that people have used to do this, as it seems foolish to allow people to sign up without confirming they've read and agreed your TOS, however casual they may be?

Thank you!

try this:

<p>
<input id="signupblog" type="radio" name="signup_for" value="blog" checked="checked" />
<label for="signupblog"><?php _e('Gimme a blog!') ?></label>
<br />
<input id="signupuser" type="radio" name="signup_for" value="user" />
<label for="signupuser"><?php _e('Just a username, please.') ?></label>
<br />
<input id="ToS"  type="checkbox" name="ToS" value="ToS" onclick= "if (this.checked)
doit(); else undoit();" />
<label for="ToS">I have read the <a href="http://zice.ro/imprint/tos/">ToS</a> and
agree to them</label>
</p>
<script type="text/javascript">
function doit()
{
document.getElementById("submit").disabled=false; }
function undoit()
{
document.getElementById("submit").disabled=true; }
document.getElementById("ToS").checked=false;
</script>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope="row"  valign="top">&nbsp;</th>
<td><input id="submit" type="submit" name="submit" class="submit" value="<?php
_e('Next &raquo;') ?>" DISABLED/></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<?php

}

function validate_user_signup() {
        $result = validate_user_form();
        extract($result);

this is the relevant part of wp-signup.php - added a javascript and a checkbox, give it a test as this should work...

Thank you, that seems to be just about perfect.

Hi, I included this one in my wp-signup.php form which already had the 'create a blog option' only available for logged-in-site-admin's ;)

Just replace the whole <form>-section with:

<form name="setupform" id="setupform" method="post" action="wp-signup.php">
<input type="hidden" name="stage" value="validate-user-signup">
<?php do_action( "signup_hidden_fields" ); ?>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="9">
<?php show_user_form($user_name, $user_email, $errors); ?>
<th scope="row"  valign="top">�</th>
<td>

<?php
if( is_user_logged_in() == true and is_site_admin() == true ) { ?>
<input id="signupblog" type="radio" name="signup_for" value="blog" checked="checked" />
<label for="signupblog"><?php _e('Gimme a blog!') ?></label>

<input id="signupuser" type="radio" name="signup_for" value="user" />
<label for="signupuser"><?php _e('Just a username, please.') ?></label>
<?php } else { ?>
<input id="signupuser" type="hidden" name="signup_for" value="user" />
<input id="ToS"  type="checkbox" name="ToS" value="ToS" onclick="if (this.checked) doit(); else undoit();" />
<label for="ToS">I have read the '<a href="<?php echo $domain; ?>/imprint/tos/">ToS</a>' and agree to them</label>
<script type="text/javascript">
function doit()
{
document.getElementById("submit").disabled=false; }
function undoit()
{
document.getElementById("submit").disabled=true; }
document.getElementById("ToS").checked=false;
</script>
<?php
}
?>

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope="row"  valign="top">�</th>
<td><input id="submit" type="submit" name="submit" class="submit" value="<?php _e('Next �') ?>"<?php echo ( (is_user_logged_in() == true and is_site_admin() == true) ? "" : " disabled"); ?> /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

Is there any email confirmation that the terms were checked? Do you get a record in any way?

Hi, I tried first one, could not make it work! used second one, works perfectly with 2 question arised in my mind:
1- How can I remove those squares appear next to the box in sign-up form?
2- Does it prevent automatic registrations completely?

cheers

Well, the checkbox for TOS appears but an account is created regardless of whether or not it's actually checked and there's no confirmation that it was checked. Any ideas on that?

I took the lazy route.

By clicking the Signup button below, you agree that you have read and agree to the Terms of Service. (terms are linked)

So if they sign up, then they agree by default.

Pretty much...

The solution posted by Ovidiu does indeed work... what I have seen folks miss is the addition of DISABLED to the submit input statement...

this works by the next button being disabled until the tos checkbox is selected at which time the next button becomes visible.

Hi,

I have put in Ovidiu's code.

At first I got an "UNEXPECTED $END" error. Which i have found happanes a lot if you miss a } in there somewhere. I couldn't figure out where to put it, so I tried right at the end of the code snippet Ovidiu supplied. That error went away and the page opens and show all that it is supposed.
Problem is it shows a bit extra. After the Submit button is this text which comes out of the next function in the coding.

'is your new username
But, before you can start using your new username, you must activate it.

Check your inbox at and click the link given.

If you do not activate your username within two days, you will have to sign up again.'

Here is the actual code that is in my page right now from the top of Ovidui's snippet to just after. Any ideas how to fix it? You can see the actual page at http://www.worldblogosphere.com/wp-signup.php if it would help to see the problem.

Thanks,
Gene

to be honest that's quite an old hack, and I lack the patience to look through the code.
besides its a hack you need to apply every time you update your wpmu.

try this plugin: http://ozblog.com.au/2008/09/20/wordpress-terms-of-use-plugin/

Also you can use a simple plugin from here: http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/terms-of-service

$50 for TOS plugin??? you must be kidding!

@ Venturemaker: hehehe, you know that's the usual answer when suggesting a premium plugin :-)

LOL :)
