Terms of Service on Checkout Page


Recommended Posts

  • WHMCS Support Manager

This simple template addition replaces the Terms of Service link on the checkout page with a text box into which you can paste your company's wording so that your clients can read it without navigating away from the order form. Clients are still required to tick the checkbox to indicate they have read the terms.

 

Open templates/orderforms/*your active template*/viewcart.tpl

 

Find:

 {if $accepttos}
 <p align="center">
   <input type="checkbox" name="accepttos" id="accepttos" />
   <label for="accepttos">{$LANG.ordertosagreement} <a href="{$tosurl}" target="_blank">{$LANG.ordertos}</a></label>
 <p> {/if}

Replace with:

 {if $accepttos}
 <p align="center">
<textarea rows="10" cols="100" readonly="readonly">

***INSERT YOUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS HERE IN PLAIN TEXT***


</textarea>
</p><p align="center">
   <input type="checkbox" name="accepttos" id="accepttos" />
   <label for="accepttos">{$LANG.ordertosagreement} {$LANG.ordertos} above.</label>
 </p> {/if}

 

Replace "***INSERT YOUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS HERE IN PLAIN TEXT***" with your own terms of service wording.

Upload and you're done!

 

 

Update: 24/05/2010 - Text area is no longer editable by the visitor. (Thanks to gs-liam).

If you use this code instead of what John has posted, your clients will not be able to edit the text ;)

Why make it a text area at all? As long as the TOS checkbox is within the form, it still works. I'm using this:

<div style="border:1px black solid; width:600px; height:200px; overflow:auto;">
{include file='/home/user/www/terms.html'}
<p align="center"><input type="checkbox" name="accepttos" id="accepttos" /> <labelfor="accepttos">{$LANG.ordertosagreement}{$LANG.ordertos}
</label><p>
</div>

It's in a scrolling DIV, and as it's text on the page, they can't edit. Bonus is that it's in a separate file so easily maintained, not overwritten by updates, and can have formatting.

Why only plain text?

If it's not in a form field, you can indeed format it.

The file would need to have been in your normal template directory eg.. templates/portal/tos.html

if it is in the cart directory, your case using the boxes theme would be

{include file="orderforms/boxes/tos.html"}

 

The path is relative to the templates directory

 

Else as bear sugested use the absolute full path
