Hello. I have decided to try out this forum software and I noticed that there is no way (From what I can see) to edit the User Agreement page when people sign up or make it so you can add another page that you either have to agree with it or not. If I recall, SMF does something similar to this. I hope this can make it into version 1.4

  1. Edit the language strings in member.lang.php I think

  2. Might be easier to make a link to it, ala the Rules editing page (which I assume is in the xxx.lang.php files, instead of having to dig through the Language File editor.

    EDIT: That reminds me...the lang file would probably need to be told to be CHMOD'd, since some server are strict on what is writeable and what isn't.

  3. I agree that the License Agreement should be brought out somewhere, rather than buried in language files.

  4. They have to be in the language variables. It doesn't make sense to have them in the global settings, or else how would you translate them without creating a whole new system just for the agreements (which I find would be redundant).

  5. Couldn't there be a page that "draws" the text from the language variable (obviously, picking the default language used on the forum)? That way, it stays as a variable, and not as a global setting.
