Disabling "Must agree to Terms of Service on EVERY ORDER?" doesn't work

What is?

[marklandry]

Still the ToS field couldn't be modified... any plans to fix this? (VM 2.0.14)

I'm on 2.0.20 and same prob.  This issue is over a year old and should require a template override.  If enabling/disabling a feature is offered as part of the config params, it should work without any code adjustments.

TOS is a protected Joomla field so must be unlocked for making changes to required etc - to unlock thye field see http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=112563.msg378680#msg378680

Hello,
I have the same problem 2.0.18a

why should we make changes on core files ? after upgrade all that changes will go away

I simply don't want users to check the TOS but I still have a little checkbox behind the command button on the cart

How to disable that please?

Best regards
amorino

You don't need to change core files - you are just doing some configuration changes. Use css to hide the checkbox in this version, add to your Joomla template css or custom css file depending on your site.

#tosAccepted {display:none;}

Hello,
if I hide it the command doesn't pass because it asks to check it
I tried this in the cart template

echo "<div style=\"display:none;\">   ";
               //echo VmHtml::checkbox ('tosAccepted', $this->cart->tosAccepted, 1, 0, 'class="terms-of-service"');
               echo VmHtml::checkbox ('tosAccepted', $this->cart->tosAccepted, 1, 1, 'class="terms-of-service"');
echo "</div>";


And it works

I opened MySQL and just made all the TOS settings to 0 so now I don't seem to have an issue. I replaced with a text box that claims "By confirming your purchase you agree to our "link" to shipping and returns. It's much easier than a check box and no excuse as it is in there face. Unless they are illiterate.

After the last update (or about) my shop stopped working for users that were not signed in (all browsers) BIG PROBLEM!
When clicking on "Check out" it would not let them go further without agreeing on the TOS but would not show the option to check the box. It worked fine for registered users.
My solution was (as described above - but probably not recommended) to disable the requirement of the TOS via the database (since the record is locked).
This seems to be working for now, but it's not ideal.
Maybe a fix in the next update?
Thanks

I did my database tweek a few updates back and vm update didn't overwrite it. YAY!! Maybe they could just give us the access through admin to make it how, we the users, want it to be.

Stonedfury - would you mind providing a little more detail on the changes you made to you database? I've just gone through everything I could find in the forums, even used the zip file with the "default.php" from jenkinhill.
Although I can get the checkbox hidden, and everything set up so there is no visual reference to TOS, when I click on "Checkout" (using the 1-page checkout), the error message at the top of the page keeps saying that I need to agree to the TOS.
Actually I get the message after adding something to the cart and inputting my name and address information. I go to the next step and see the message, "Please accept the terms of service to confirm".

In the VM settings, everything is de-selected in the templates, and the "agreed" settings are "ALL" disabled.
I've even gone into the db and verified that everything is "0"....but the message saying I need to agree still appears at the top.

I'm baffled...

The problem still exists in vm2.0.26a?

[marsipulami]

I've got Virtuemart Version 2.0.26d / Jommla 2.5.17 and still the same problem!
How can i disable the agree to the terms function?

My problem is still bigger now.
Equal on what i set in the shop configuration (must agree or not / Backend) it won't let me checkout in the frontend.
I've checked the box (agree to the terms..) in the checkoutprocess, but i get everytime the info, that i have to accept the terms of service.

Anyone a idea?

Thanks
