Remove (sort of) rules on register
 

I would like to remove the rules page from the registration process but add a tickbox on the registration page that has to be ticked that the user accepts the rules with a link to a new window with the rules.

I have looked but can't find anything like this, so any help or a point in the right direction would be appreciated.

something like this Cyb - Advanced Forum Rules

This modification removes them: Remove forum rules step from registration

However it doesn't create a checkbox on the next page.

Thanks for the suggestions so far, but I really need the users to click that they accept the rules. I suppose I could always try and "fiddle" with the register templates and see if I can get something going like that.... scary thought!

Has anyone managed to find a way to bypass the rules but change the registration form to include a click through accepting them with a link to them?

This is your solution. It can be made to work the way you want, with some creative setup on your part.

I don't see how that is a solution to my question? As far as I can see that simply forces users to accept rules before posting and can force them to re-accept them when you change them.

Clearly I am missing what you think is a solution with that Videx, so I would appreciate you pointing it out to me.

I was also looking for something like this! I made a post about it a while back but nobody had any solutions

Let's see if i understand it correct.

You want to keep the current rules pages when registering, but you don't want to show the text of these rules. Instead you want to have a link they must click first to read the rules on a new page.

Correct?

Not really. It also gives you a box to enter rules. And it allows you several options to make users accept rules.

So it seems to me you could just put a link in the box pointing to your page (though I don't see why you'd go to the trouble), then make sure new users have to accept the rules. Done.

Almost correct Marco.

I want to completely skip the rules page and go straight to the registration page where users enter their information. HOWEVER, I want them to have to tick a box that they accept the rules and conditions with the "rules and conditions" being a hyperlink to a popup of the rules and conditions if they want them.

Another way of saying it is to move the "I have read, and agree to abide by the Forum rules." tickbox from the first page to the registration information page, but make the "rules" a hyperlink to the actual rules.

Most people don't read the rules anyway, so changing this makes the registration process more streamlined but still has the legal coverage of having the users accept the rules.
