I thought I had seen a module for setting up a Terms of Service agreement during user registration for 5.0 and now I can't find it. maybe I imagined it?

Searched: TOS , terms of service - no relief.

Anybody know where that is?

you can do this using the profile module (part of core) Just create a "checkbox" profile field and choose "the user must enter a value" and "visible in user registration form". Then, in the explanation area link a page with your terms.

it looks like this (scroll down to see terms of service check box)

Hey could you write a page up for that idea and toss it in the handbook. Either as a child page under profile module description or site recipes. That's something I hadn't thought of before and a neaat strategy to reduce having to use extra contrib modules.

I will do so steve. I will draft something out tonight/tomorrow morning. and post the steps back here. I do not have handbook permissions, If you do and if you agree with the draft, it can be submitted.

caveat: the website linked is not mine. The idea also was not originally mine. The developer of that site is responsible for bringing to my attention the ability to do this using the profile module, in another forum thread where he addressed this need. He did not go into a step by step in the forum thread however, it was pretty easy to work out once I sat down to do so.

Anyone with a registered drupal.org account can add a page to the handbook (I should make that my signature :). I don't actually care whose idea that it is but that it be saved for others. How many others reading this thread thought, "Hey! That's right!"

Thanks for the tip about the handbook page. I did not at all realize this, thought I had to be part of a documentation team. I will take care of this for the community at large.

I also apologize for calling you steve. I've read that you prefer Steven. I'd edit it but its too late.

Thanks. I've moved it to under the site recipe's for now. As a bonus, you are now listed here and can check the 'I provided documentation' box in your user profile. :)

Thanks, and I have updated my profile. I have also updated the document to show the instructions for Drupal 5.x although only one line had to be changed to reflect the new menu structure for 5.x.

Thanks too for placing the book page in the proper place. you noticed it just before I did that it was under installation. I missed this drop down upon first creation.

I listed Drupal 5 on top of 4.7.x because 5 is newest. If this is a problem I will reverse it.

the "Legal" module seems to be similar to "Terms of Use" for D6.
