Scenario,

As part of a (self) registration process, I'd like to have a checkbox that says:

[ ] I Agree to the terms of use ... yadda yadda yadda.

If the checkbox is not checked, then the Self Reg would not submit and/or it would show an error message.

At this point, only a username, password, and email address are being collected. I'd like it to be all on this single form, as a one-step process.

Any help on implementing this would be appreciated.

I can't think of an "all-in-one-solution", but you could do the self-reg and then after the final submit, redirect to a page with a FormBuilder form that requires them to accept the terms of use.  This wouldn't be totally satisfactory, because it wouldn't prevent the registration from being successful if the terms weren't accepted.

This sounds like a feature request (and a good one) - please submit it in the Forge.

Is there any new ways to achieve this?

Typically I use a JQuery plugin to validate forms before submission, which makes it easy to check for a certain state on a checkbox beforehand. It's pretty easy to use Javascript just for a small form, just google and you'll find lots of solutions. IIRC a required unchecked checkbox field will also make the registration fail, but I'm not sure and I don't have where to test atm.

There is indeed a field "Checkbox extended" that suits perfectly to this.

I can't add [solved], 'cause this isn't my topic, but I think this is pretty much solved now.

Thanks Jo!

Hm, as far as I remember it should be as easy as adding a checkbox FEU property as required field to the group to which the users are going to sign up.

1. In FEU add a new property of type “checkbox” with the prompt “I agree to the terms yadda yadda …”
2. Still in FEU, go to the “Groups” tab and set that property/field to “required” (and optionally move it to your desired position)

In your SelfRegistration form this checkbox should now show up.

Or have I misunderstood something here?

Thanks! I think this is really logical method!
