Policies completely in html

[Matthias]

In my privacy policy I need the following for Google Analytics:

Code Select Expand

onclick="alert(\'Tracking by Google Analytics has been deactivated in your browser for this website\');" href="javascript:gaOptout()"]Click here to deactivate Google Analytics

Because the policies (ACP > Registration > Privacy Policy" is bbc parsed, it's not possible to add this javascript.

In sources/Agreement.php around line 67 I found this:

Code Select Expand


if ($context['show_privacy_policy'])
{
// Have we got a localized policy?
if (!empty($modSettings['policy_' . $user_info['language']]))
$context['policy'] = parse_bbc($modSettings['policy_' . $user_info['language']]);
elseif (!empty($modSettings['policy_' . $language]))
$context['policy'] = parse_bbc($modSettings['policy_' . $language]);


I guess I need to change the "parse_bcc" to output the text completely as HTML. Does anyone have any idea how I have to change this so that it is output as HTML.

You should do that before they ever reach the policy, way before the policy, because if they are reading your privacy policy they are already tracked. The policy is meant to describe your data usage, not to configure it.

Yes, I know, it is better to do this with a cookie notice. I have a simple note about cookies, but that's no longer enough. The ones to configure are all quite expensive, at least the ones I found.
Maybe someone knows a configurable cookie notice that is free.

Create a page like "ga-optout.html" (maybe with basic SSI to have the forum header and footer), and then put the JS link in there. Link to that page from the PP via BBC.
