Can it be done in the PHP?

[dcuellar]

I'd like to add an "Agree to terms" page before a visitor is allowed to view my store. Much like what you see before you register for a forum.

 

Can I include that within the PHP? What steps must I take?

When they check the box and hit continue, create a session for it. Then on each page of the store, check to see if that session is set, if it isn't you kick them back to a page saying that they need to agree to the terms first.

Yes you can.

 

You need to create the HTML form, when submitted you need to make sure they checked the "agree" box, if they did then display the store and set session.

 

Here is a little snippet to look at

 

<?php

if (isset($_POST['agree'])){
   //they agreed to terms, show the store and register session
} else {
   //They did NOT agree, give error
}

<form action="url.com" method="post">
   <input type="radio" name="agree">
   <input type="submit">
</form>

I'm really starting from scratch here, and to top it off I don't know much.

 

this is what I have before the main script:

That is my php for the store itself. I don't have a terms and agreement made yet, partly because I don't know how. I'm sorry, my forum was put together by a template and controlled within the adminCP. This is the furthest I've gone away from that.

 

Any help?
