Not certain if this is a "feature" or "as designed" - or just a problem. It seems that it is standard on most sites to display some sort of error message when a person fails to actually check the Terms of Use checkbox. I have tried a couple of different versions of the module - but get the same behavior. True, it doesn't allow a user to proceed without checking the checkbox - on the other hand, it also gives them no idea where their error is - or how to fix it. Without some soft of feedback, we leave users frustrated and uncertain of how to proceed - they will *probably* figure it out - if they're still around. This is certainly not the best scenario...

Is my installation faulty? Or is this behavior by design?

Thanks,

Chana

Is this module unmaintained? Dead? Anyone? OK - off to find a replacement...

Hi,

a drupal_set_message() should be added than. Maybe optional.

Okay I did look into the code but if you fail to check the checkbox there should be a message. This is implemented through this code:

/**
 * Validation callback; verify that checkbox is checked.
 */
function _terms_of_use_validate_checkbox($form, &$form_state) {
  $value = $form_state['values']['terms_of_use'];
  if ($value == 0) {
    form_set_error('terms_of_use', t('You must agree with the !terms to get an account.', array('!terms' => filter_xss(tou_i18nstrings('fieldset_name', variable_get('terms_of_use_fieldset_name', t('Terms of Use')))))));
  }
}

Are you using checkbox validate? But even that should give you a message. Maybe your theme is hinding messages? Or some other module or setting.
