This module displays your Terms & Conditions to users who want to register, and makes sure they accept the T&C before their registration is accepted.

Note: No T&C will be displayed until the T&C text has been input by the administrator.

Each time a new version of the T&C is created all users will be required to accept the new version.

Note: T&C text should only be entered by administrators or other highly trusted users. filter_xss_admin() is used to filter content for display, this is a very permissive XSS/HTML filter intended for admin-only use.

Integrates with Views, and ships with 2 default views that display T&C history, and user acceptance of T&Cs.

To install:

Note: It is assumed that you have Drupal up and running. Be sure to check the Drupal web site if you need assistance. If you run into problems, you should always read the INSTALL.txt that comes with the Drupal package and read the online documentation.

Is it possible to add legal as a manditory field before an anonymous commenter can post? If so please help me!

How do we indicate a specific page upon completed T & C submission? We'd like to guide first-time users to a specific site introduction page. How to do?

Wondering if this module or if there is another module that can have terms and conditions be on a second page after they click register. Our requirement is to have the terms and conditions on a second page of the user registration process. Other than that the module works great. Thanks for any help and direction you may have to offer!
