Need a Popup for TOS checkbox warning

[communion]

Just a note, is there a way to check if the user has checked the Terms of Service box and display a warning if they haven't?

Right now, the page just refreshes if the user hasn't checked the box, if they hit the submit button.

Thanks,

In the interest of helping, I just implemented one into my site by doing the following. The first file is a template file so it could be in your template folder.

In the folder com_virtuemart/views/cart/default.php around line 324, depends on your template, find this line of code:

Code Select Expand

echo $this->checkout_link_html;

and add this piece of code:

Code Select Expand


<script type="text/javascript">
function checkFields(){

var checkbox = document.getElementById('tosAccepted');
   
if(!checkbox.checked){
        alert("Please accept the Terms and Conditions");
        return false;
    }else{
document.checkoutForm.submit();
}
   
}
</script>


Next you will need to edit this line of code in com_virtuemart/views/cart/view.html.php right around line 140:

Code Select Expand

$checkout_link_html = '<a class="vm-button-correct" href="javascript: document.checkOutForm.submit();"><span>' . $text . '</span></a>';

and turn it into this:

Code Select Expand

$checkout_link_html = '<a class="vm-button-correct" href="javascript: void(0)" onclick="return checkFields();"><span>' . $text . '</span></a>';

This will make it so that an alert is popped unless the terms and conditions button is accepted.

But this is a core hack! After you update Virtuemart your changes will lost.

Indeed it is. The template file won't change but you would have to re-do the view.html.php step again.
