Checkbox for Conditions on Contact Us form

[donostiarra123]

Excuse me, buddy, can I ask you if you know how to have a checkbox of acceptance of the conditions shown on the contact form?

Thanks for your help.

Hello, dbltoe.

I have taken a look at all that and the links that indicate, however it seems that there is no ZenCart plugin to help update the RGPD, although there are many Zen facilities in Europe.

On the other hand I do not see how to add that box of required acceptance (for conditions) in the contact form.

It is a headache because stores that are not updated could suffer significant penalties...

Thanks for your help, partner. I will keep looking and waiting to see if anyone knows at least how to implement that box.

Greetings.

Hi all.

As I only want to show the check box, which is mandatory, with the privacy message, I have entered this code in the contact:

<fieldset>

<legend><?php echo TABLE_HEADING_PRIVACY_CONDITIONS; ?></legend>

<div class="information"><?php echo TEXT_PRIVACY_CONDITIONS_DESCRIPTION;?></div>

<?php echo zen_draw_checkbox_field('privacy_conditions', '1', false, 'id="privacy"');?>

<label class="checkboxLabel" for="privacy"><?php echo TEXT_PRIVACY_CONDITIONS_CONFIRM;?></label>

</fieldset>

I managed to show it and with the message, but the message is sent the same even if the box is not checked ...

Do any of you abe what do I have to add (how to put it) so that the box is mandatory?

Thanks for your help.

<?php echo zen_draw_checkbox_field('privacy_conditions', '1', false, 'id="privacy" required="required" aria-required="true"');?>

This would make it required, however, the contact form is just a mail sending form, there is no storage . I believe this requirement would fail GPDR! Basically, theirs no proof that anyone checked the box or agrees to the terms...

i try and stay away from the "why" someone wants to do something.... others on this board tend to be more curious....

i have read the GPDR and while no expert on it, i would love to see where in the GPDR someone needs to agree to the terms to send the owner of a store/website an email via a contact us form!

it is a customer/prospective customer contacting a store owner. why would one need to agree to a store's terms to contact the store? this makes little sense to me....

trying to contact a big company, think AT&T or Comcast, is such a royal pain. is that what one is trying to do here?

opening up an eCommerce site means making it easy for people to contact you, or in the case of GPDR, make it easy for the customer to disappear from all of the sites database. making it more difficult for the customer to contact the store owner is NOT what GPDR is about.

davewest knows the way... the Canadian gov. wants a record of the click - Twitch CASL accomplishes this.

There's a new module on the way that will merge GDPR with CASL structure:

Makes little sense to me either, except that it seems a growing bunch of control freaks are seeking to control the internet - have their cake and eat it too.

FWIW when organisations request my phone number for whatever reason, I now send them a set of terms governing their use of my phone and its number, as well as an application form to complete, and if the org does not agree, well nothing happens.

Cheers

Thanks, davewest, I'll try it.

I agree with you, the problem is more if they inspect your website ... Anyway, it is true that the new laws have good things, but also things that maybe are not so necessary

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi all.

carlwhat and dw08gm, the problem is that the user is sending personal data, you have to know what use will be given to that data, is what the law says ... If you send some data you have to know what will happen with those data.

It's what I've said before, it's a new law, it's fine for some things, but maybe it's too strict (or it seems to me).

Thank you all for your help.

Regards
