[Mod]GDPR Helper

[SMFHacks]

Hi,
I am using the GDPR Helper for now and my forum uses SimplePortal which provides a Home page so the forum itself is not the first page seen when you visit the site. However, for all members who have agreed the the agreement they can go straight into the forum but if they click the HOME page to take them to the SimplePortal home page, they are shown the Agrreement again and have to click I agree again to see the home page. Guests do not see it.

The forum is at https://www.fiftyplusforum.co.uk and I can supply a login if you want to see the issue.

I know you can't make the mod 100% compatible with all other mods but I would guess I'm not the only one using SimplePortal this way so it may affect others.

Would the Pro version solve this issue without fixing the helper version?

Thanks
Chas

BTW, this text box (REPLY not Quick reply) seems to be 180 characters wide, it scrolls sideways when typing long lines. Using Chrome on W10. Have to scroll sideways to click POST/PREVIEW.

Send me a login via pm and will take a look

Another great mod, very usefull, thank you.

I'm just wondering. If already registered users have to accept the policy on introduction or later when changes are made, could their choice made visible in their profile? At least for admins?

At this moment we don't have a clue if and if yes, which users have already clicked the agreement and don't know which choice they made.
Also as a user you can't go and have a look again via your own profile settings. It would be nice to be able to always look what you agreed to. And it would be great if admin could see choices.
Next to that, it would be nice to have an option to not agree (or not agree after changes) in the profile, which provides a link to the "delete account" option when clicked upon.

I don't know if this is a bug or intended, but it looks as if already registered users (present before the policy took place) are able to bypass the confirmation by using direct links to postings. I don't know if that can be prevented or if that is an issue.

Is this mod also presented to the SMF mod section? Or not? Because I don't see it there, but there is a (wrong) link in the xml file. Or is it still in moderation queue? If not, why not?

In this version they are forced to accept or decline and our logged out.
In the pro version they can accept, or decline and stlil make changes to their profile/export posts


The mod is in SMF's section.

Thank you for the quick answer.

The mod is in SMF's section.

Yep, found it. Stupid me did a search for GPDR instead of GDPR.

The wrong link was in a custom dutch translation I downloaded, so nothing wrong there either.

In this version they are forced to accept or decline and our logged out.

Yes, but at this moment we as admin if we look at a users account, we can't see if he already accepted the policy or not.
It would be nice if it was possible to see it in their profile, would also be an extra proove that they accepted. Wouldn't this be a nice feature for a future version?

Another question. This mod can modify the users name in postings when they remove their account.
How is their name changed?
Are all users who leave changed to guest or anonymous? Or is it like anonymous-1 and for another user anonymous-2 or what will the usernames become after they are changed?

[SMFHacks]

Yes, but at this moment we as admin if we look at a users account, we can't see if he already accepted the policy or not.

I have that in pro version of this mod. Appears in the profile for admins to see privacy policy date and terms of registration date.


Right now when deleting a member it is guest#### memberid

Hello, I have installed this mod but I am having an issue: There is not any kind of button displayed on the privacy page that they need to agree to. Hence ebverybody is stuck there not being able to agree to it.

[SMFHacks]

What SMF version?
Is this on the agree page?

On registration there should be a checkbox to agree  to terms

[Nicole]

It is at action=agreement;sa=policy

SMF 2.0.17

This is what it looks like. I see no button where the user can agree so they are stuck on that page.

[SMFHacks]

That page is not from the GDPR Helper though.. That is SMF's built in version

This site the url is
https://www.smfhacks.com/index.php?action=gdpr;sa=privacypolicy

[Nicole]

I see. I had thought that the helper had modified it.

[SMFHacks]

I would use either one system or the other but not both.

[Nicole]

Thanks for your heads up. I am somewhat puzzled now as to why I am using both systems? BUt foremost I am puzzled why there is no button. I can not remember having modified this file. Do you have any advice on what setting to look for or disable? Regards

[SMFHacks]

Admin -> registration -> Settings
Uncheck -> Require new members to accept the privacy policy



Could be if for some reason the theme has it's own custom template for the agreement page? that isn't updated with the new code

[Nicole]

Well, the probkem is that the GDPR Mod does mark these fields as selected, making it however impossible to unselect them anymore as long as the mod is installed. I think I will make the file edits to undo this.

Do you maybe have a suggestion please what code should be there for the submit button on the privacy page? Thank you

[SMFHacks]

That's strange I don't the mod disables those fields.
Does everything work if you disable GDPR Helper?
