Terms @link opening in a new browser window or tab

I suggest to give it a higher priority since that improve usability remarkably.

This is workaround I'm using before the issue is resolved:
1. Create the TOU page
2. Create a jumper page, title it as Agreement or the like. Include a line like "I have read and understand TOU", linking the text to the above real TOU page, with target="_blank".
3. Set the jumper page as the TOU page in the module
4. Don't use @link - then the content of jumper page will be show and user can click it for TOU content, in a new window.

Bad to admin but perfect to end users :-)

The demo: http://www.translia.com/user/register

I'm not sure why a patch would be necessary? Read the README.txt file. You can theme the terms of use anyway you like in template.php.

Thanks for the tips on theme. That's good but an option on admin UI would be better? Anyway, the theme solution is good enough.

Hello,

I've read the README.tx and although I added these lines at the end of my template.php it's not working

function THEMENAME_terms_of_use($terms, $node) {
  $output  = '<div id="terms-of-use" class="content clear-block">';
  $output .= t('Terms of use of this page are available !here.', array('!here' => l('here', 'node/'."$node->nid")));
  $output .= '</div>';
  return $output;
}

Do I have to do something else? Am I doing something wrong? (I'm using ToU v 6.10)

Thanks

Change THEMENAME on the first line to your theme name and then clear cache.

Oops, Thank you very much for your info! I didn't know that

It should default to open in a new browser. It really doesn't make sense for someone to fill out their user registration and then click the link and have it loose everything they just filled out. I can't name a top site that has the terms open in the same page like this.

Thanks askit, you're solution (#4) was tops!!

I think both approaches (#1/_blank vs. #4/jumper page) are viable for different use cases, and both should be supported.

I used jumper page to show Terms in a lightbox. Maybe for #1 it makes sense to allow lightbox use also, so it becomes a selector with a list of options. I did such a selector for iTweak Upload module.

I will see if it is easy to include in my combined patch #759064: Combined patch to address multiple issues and feature requests.

When you use #4 suggestion, it puts the check box at the bottom of the content, and not before, and creates a longer div, no matter how short your jumper node is. It's messy.

you can say that again

nice topic i like it
