Restore Tos field in manage fields page

Actually, you can just add it via the Fields tab like any other custom field. As long as you create it as a checkbox and give it the option name “tos”, the plugin should recognize it as the default tos field that it creates on install.

Thanks Chad, worked perfectly!

(I had tried this but didn’t properly read the error when not including any text in the “stored value” field, and assumed it wasn’t working because I’d previously deleted the field itself…DOH! but this time I persevered)

One thing that might be worth adding at some point is the ability to change the dialogue text “Please indicate that you agree to the TOS” alongside the tos button, as in my case “tos” would be better replaced with “terms and conditions”.

The Tos Shortcode to link to a full page works well and more than makes up for it!

Great plugin , and thanks again for speedy response!

Glad you got that set back OK.

You can edit the field’s label (and any other non-native WP field) by clicking “edit” for that field in the field table. You can then change the label for the field (which is what displays to the user). You just can’t change the option name (which is the meta_key).

Thanks again Chad, but I think I wasn’t clear on which bit I meant!

I was trying to describe the tos label as it appears on the actual registration form for an unregistered user. It looks like it is hardcoded to say “Please indicate that you agree to the TOS” with the word TOS providing the link to our terms and conditions. Changing the label as you suggest above doesn’t seem to override this… I did give it a go though, and the label has changed in the wp-members settings, but only there.

Looks like its all coded in wp-members/inc/forms.php, but it doesn’t look like its as simple as editing that particular line…

Anyway, its a minor thing and not your problem really!

Thanks tho, all much appreciated

OH… yes, you are correct. I have to say, I totally misread my own stuff there. While changing the label for other fields changes the actual content of the label tag, the TOS field is different.

BUT…

You can change it. There is a filter hook wpmem_tos_link_txt.

However, while that filter has been there for quite awhile (since version 2.7.5, which is a few years ago), it doesn’t get talked about much. And in looking at it, I don’t really like it the way it is.

The way it is written now, you need to return the link and the text. That’s not a big deal. But I’d like it to be more flexible so I’ll probably look at improvements in the future.

For the time being, it is something you can use though – you just have to make sure you return an HTML link with the text.

Thanks Chad, filter hook works perfectly from my functions.php file, and not being much of a coder I thought the html link in with the text might have been awkward for some reason, but just a simple link worked fine. Your work here is done!

Thanks so much for all your help, really appreciated.

No problem – glad you were able to get it working.
