now I don't know PHP (yet) but would it be tough to change this terms of service to a my own text? Ideally this text would just be in the dashboard so I could change it. Would make a handy feature or addon.

Just throwing it out there.

    If you're using the default theme:

    Inside /themes/default/
    Create a folder called "views".
    Inside that, create a subfolder called "home".
    Inside that, create a file called "termsofservice.php".

    Copy this text into it, and then edit it however you like.
    <?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit(); ?>

    <h1>Terms of Service</h1>

  • Great, thanks :) I've still got to learn more about how the /views/ works and what I can do with it.
  • Hi love this, but is there a way to make the box wider appreciate the help.
  • TimTim Operations Vanilla Staff
    Yes, by editing the CSS for the Popup.

    It's even easier to replace that text by just setting $Definition['TermsOfServiceText'] in locale.php. If you're not using a custom theme already, I'd recommend this.

    you can also change the $Definition['TermsOfServiceText'] variabel text in /applications/dashboard/locale/en-CA/definitions.php file directly.

    Your better off creating your own and dropping it into your theme folder. Then you dont suffer overwrite at upgrade.
