User Registration terms agreement

[maphorn]

Hi,
I am new to this and so far have not found any of this very helpful!
So hopefully that will change!!!!

Currently the user registration on has a tick box for accepting Rules.

I wish to add tick box acceptance for the following:

Agreement to Copy Right and Intellectual Property Rights
Agreement to Information Disclaimer
Agreement to Customer Duty of Care

I have added them to the User registration page but it lets you register without ticking the boxes!!!
Where, how what do I need to add / modify so that users must tick ALL 4 boxes before registration is accepted?

Please use simple language - I only have a very basic understanding of programming -VERY BASIC

Lynn from admin suggested I post my modifications here as well so someone that knows what they are doing may see where I went wrong!

And what have you added to make those fields required? In html5, there is the "required" option, but you may need to add some actual php code to make those required.

Thanks Lynne.

So....

Where, how what do I need to add / modify so that users must tick ALL 4 boxes before registration is accepted?

Why not just use the Profile Field manager, and make the field required on registration and at profile edit, this way everyone who registers must check the checkbox and all members who edit their profile who haven't previously been asked the question will have to check the checkbox

SORRY I AM A TOTAL NOVICE!! From what I have seen sound like it will do the trick!

Managed to set them up and they work - the only problem is I want to bring up the statements from the URL (single edit control point!) rather than copy and paste into description.

How do I do that?

Thanks Marc
