Quick update must fix
1.0.1
!Bug fix error on registration if there is registration error. Requires uninstall of old version

A user cannot decline the updated agreements.
I would suggest decline option added results in the user be logged off immediately

Good idea!

Have tested on my test-forum. Looks like it will be excellent. Great work. Thanks.

Splendid work vbgamer45, splendid work.

Fixed for next update

Will you be creating a formal mod for this?

[vbgamer45]

Well it is a formal mod right now that you can install via the package manager. I have submitted to the mod site too.

[Shambles]

Lovely. thanks. I tried the version you attached to reply #40 but it contains the admin_menu_name index error, so I will await the fixed version

You're good at this. Did anyone tell you?

[vbgamer45]

I am good at getting things done Just need time is the main issue.

[@rjen]

I started translating this to Dutch, and in doing so I noticed that some of the text strings are both in the language file AND included in the update of Modifications.english.php files ?

On purpose?

Find attached the translated language files. I am not sure if it has added value to translate the privacy_template.txt since it is not language specific, and most likely everyone will tailor this to his own forum anyway...

[vbgamer45]

Yes done on purpose so there is not need to an extra language file.

One point I'd like to make on the right to be deleted - I do not believe this requires that you delete every post  they've ever made, no matter how much they insist on it - what it does require, is that you delete their personal data (name, email address and anything else that could identify them).     For most forums, deleting a user and every post they've ever made could cause complete havoc.

[@rjen]

Yes done on purpose so there is not need to an extra language file.

Ok, then I will need to add these strings myself in the mdofications.dutch files...

[vbgamer45]

Recommend uninstall of old version first.

1.0.2
+Added support for SMF 1.1.x
+Added option to decline changes to the privacy policy and agreement page
!Fixed extension for post export data as .txt file
!Fixed undefined error on view privacy policy page

[Shambles]

Thanks VB - I'll give this a whirly when I get home from this madhouse they call "work".

Cheers

[wiebke]

Thanks!
I have another request for this helpfull mod, though - a possibility to delete IP from posts. Either some weeks after post is made or delete them manually for posts of a certain age/posts made by guests. Would love to have something like this!

[vbgamer45]

Right now the ip is cleared when the member is deleted if you have that option enabled.

[wiebke]

Yes, I saw that and it's great work. But if the member wans to stay active, I would like to be able deleting the IP on older topics. Especially on those, where the member already have been deleted.

Can I somehow find (in the database) what users have not (yet) accepted the agreement?
We will need to remove these users' data within a certain period of time, since we are not allowed to keep their personal data...

Furthermore: If a user does not accept the agreement they cannot access the forum anymore, so they can also not access their profile to download the recorded data.
Is it possible to allow them to at least access their profile without accepting the privacy policy?

[vbgamer45]

Yes in the database there are fields in the smf_themes table
gpdr_policydate - privacy policy date
gpdr_agreementdate - member agreement date


Access to the profile not sure. I could. Or just give them the option to download data?

The option to download data is the minimum requirement.
Profile access would be nice: this way we can still allow them to remove personal details themselves...
