Hi,

this is a plugin I wrote to force users to check a box in order to
acknowledge the terms of service of your openupload site ( something your
legal department may ask if you're in a corporate environment).

I added a global variable on config.inc.php to store the TOS page url (
this is a sitewide setting, so I prefer to put it there instead of adding
a plugin option)

1)
so for example in config.inc.php :
$CONFIG['plugins'][] = 'tos';
$CONFIG['site']['tosurl'] = 'http://tos_url';

2) the plugin ( I'm a newbie in php, it should be easy to improve it if
necessary)

openupload/plugins/tos.inc.php

<?php

class TosPlugin extends OpenUploadPlugin {

  function TosPlugin() {
    $this->description = tr('Add a checkbox to force user to agree to the
site terms of use');
  }

  function uploadOptions(&$finfo,$acl) {
    if ($acl!='enable') return true;
    if (isset(app()->plugins['tos']) and
         isset(app()->pluginAcl['tos']) and
         app()->pluginAcl['tos']['access']=='enable') {
        $this->assign('tosurl',app()->config['site']['tosurl']);
    }
    $this->display('uploadOptions');
    return true;
  }

  function uploadConfirm(&$finfo,$acl) {
    global $_POST;

    if ($acl!='enable') return true;
    if (isset($_POST['tos']))   return true;
    app()->error(tr('You must agree to the tos before completing upload'));
        return false;
    }
}

?>

3) the template adding the checkbox

openupload/templates/default/plugins/tos/uploadOptions.tpl

<tr><td><a href="{$tosurl}">{tr}I agree to the terms of
service{/tr}</a>:</td><td><input type="checkbox" name="tos"
value="no"></td></tr>

4) as usual, add translation strings if needed , activate the plugin in
the administration dashboard


The user won't  be able to confirm upload unless he checked the TOS box.

I preferred to put this check on the confirmation step ( instead on a
'before uploading' step ) because as people are using the service
frequently, it is less of a hassle that way.
