Add setting to display a link to the tos instead of embedding the complete node

I think it's crazy to not have this feature available. It is how this module used to behave.

Surely most terms of service are going to be too long to include in a pane during checkout.

I intend on trying out your patch and will let you know how I get on.

Thanks.

A workaround for this issue could be:

1) create Therms and Conditions content (page)
2) create a separate node (page) with a link to the above content
ex: Read the (link to the abode node)Therms and Conditions here
3) set this new node as therms and conditions

Best,

That's exactly what I did as a workaround, but seems a little long-winded.

An older version of this module simply had a link to the ToS page as mentioned above.

Workaround with a new module:

- Create a page with Terms of Service content (f.e. node/1)
- Create an empty page (f.e. node/2)
- Disable the Terms of Service - submodule
- Copy all the content from the TOS submodule to a new module folder

in your new module do the following:
- edit the .info file with the name of your new module, adjust the "files[]" section as needed
- in the .module and .install file replace all the function names and variables which include "commerce_extra_panes_termsofservice" with "YOUR-MODULE-NAME"
- replace the following line in the .module file

'#title' => t('I agree with the Terms of Service'),
'#title' => t('I agree with the <a href="/node/1" target="_blank">Terms of Service</a>'),

- enable your new module
- configure node/2 to be used as an extra pane and as TOS


On your checkout form you should now see the title of node/2 which you can easily hide with CSS and a checkbox with a link to node/1.

And fixed, added a uninstall call for the variable. Thanks.

Hi #1 worked fine! Is that one committed?
The only strange thing about that one is that with enabling the link, the option disappears from the pane-settings page.
But with saving, the option !link is working!

Thanks for this.
This link to TOS was exactly what I needed.

To others: it's currently available in latest dev version and looks like the attached image.

Maybe we should put a few words about this 'link to TOS' thing on the project page?

As they discussed above, I have created new module with new name from clone of commerce_extra_panes_termsofservice module.
put it in sites/all/modules folder and configure it in your pack.

#10 really?, you can just download the -dev version and you're fine, no need to pack anything again...

I solved the length of the Terms of service in CSS. That works too:
- I gave the pane a set hight of 12 em
- I set the overflow to 'scroll'.

In this way people can read the Terms of Service of the Checkout page, without having a very large pane.

Simple, but it works.

Best regards,
Mariska.
