Terms and Conditions

When users register, there is a box they check to agree to the terms and conditions. My question is how do I prove if and when they agreed to these terms. If there a way to stamp it or record when they accepted them?


Also, how can I make it so when they click on the Terms & Conditions link it opens in a new window instead of in the same window. The reason I ask is when the user goes to read them they have to use their back browser button to return to the registeration page unfortunately all their data is erased and they have to start the form all over. Many times users get annoyed or frustrated by this so don't bother filling the registration form out again and just leave.

Hello,

Personaly I use a checkbox field with one value and put the link into so first the user can read the terms in a new window and second I can publish it on his profile.

Hope it helps

Wierd, for some reason it seems to be opening in a new window now (without me changing anything). Not sure what is going on..


I'm still unsure about the time stamp though, but perhaps your approach may be something I'll check out. I looked in CB Field Manager, but couldn't find any field labeld terms and condition. Which field do I edit exactly?

Terms and Conditions link has always been a pop-up. They can't register unless they agree to the terms. When they agree to the terms then the database column acceptedterms in _comprofiler changes to 1. So you could use the substitution [acceptedterms] or use it in a IF statement in a delimiter field on profile to display a message if accepted or not for example.

Sorry if this is a basic webmaster question, but where do I find these database columns and where do I change this "[acceptedterms] or use it in a IF statement in a delimiter" at?

Why do you need to change it? It's in _comprofiler database table at any rate. For substitution usage information please see tutorials within my signature (this includes IF statements). Delimiter fields are created within CB > Field Management.
