Require new users to agree to a terms of service

Before a new user registers, I need the user to check a box to confirm that they agree to a terms of service.  I've been trying to use a user profile property, but I can't get the validation to work.  I can see the true/false value of the checkbox in the mp_UserProperties table, so I know it's working,  but I can't get validation to work.  Is it possible to require the box to be checked?  Is there a better way to do this?  I'm using the following in my custommojoProfile.config:

<add name="AgreeToTOS"
type="System.Boolean"
labelResourceKey="I agree to the terms of service"
requiredForRegistration="true"
includeHelpLink="false"
visibleToUser="false"
editableByUser="false" />
 

regexValidationExpression doesn't seem to work for a boolean.

Re: Require new users to agree to a terms of service

Hi,

Have you read the documentation on creating a registration agreement? http://www.mojoportal.com/creatingaregistrationagreement.aspx.

If you create the agreement, it will show up on the registration page. You will not have a checkbox for accepting but you could include text in your agreement that stating, "By clicking the 'Create Account' button you agree to these terms..." or something like that.

HTH,
Joe D.

Re: Require new users to agree to a terms of service

Thanks for the reply Joe!  Yes I did read the documentation, and I did setup a registration agreement.  However, the lawyer reviewing the site wants the user to actually check the box before being able to register. 

As a workaround, I'm going to change the property to type="System.String" and make the user type the word "agree".

Thanks,

Tom
